Great Hideaway
Hannah and Tanner have a great place down a deadend, 1 lane road, in a beautiful and intimate neighborhood. The room is great, wood floors, cathedral ceiling, tiled bathroom, a/c, TV, etc. They are less than a mile from downtown Hilo. Don't be shy on asking them for advice on what's happening in the area - great communicators. Awesome place to call your base on the Hilo side.

This place is amazing!!! It is exactly like the pictures and the description on the website. The host was very easy to get in touch with and responded quickly. We will definitely stay here on our next trip to Hawaii. Our only complaint is we didn’t get to stay longer this trip.

Amazing in every way!
Wow!! What a treat to stay here. It’s only a short drive from town, but you feel like you’re in a tropical rainforest! We slept with our windows open at night to hear the birds, frogs, and even the river! The room is gorgeous!! Highly recommend this place!!! My husband is hard to impress … and he kept saying how much he liked it.

Peaceful!
I stay in Hilo about 6 times a year for work and this is my new go-to rental. Location is excellent, safe and cozy. Beautiful surroundings and view. Most stays I've had in Hilo included these little tiny termite looking things and there were none to be found here. The sounds of the tropics at night were a dream for good sleep. Comfortable bed. Sink being outside of the shower room took a little getting use to but was fine. Host was very sweet! Will definitely stay again and highly recommend!

The best part of my stay in Hilo was this property
I was not in Hilo for fun vacation purposes - it was actually quite a stressful time - but this vrbo made everything a LOT better. Beautiful, clean, quiet, air conditioned, great internet, cozy bed, a fantastic shower, and in range for doordash and instacart. Plus the property itself is gorgeously maintained and very relaxing to stroll and explore. Can't recommend it enough and I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Loved our home away from home
Hannah and her husband were fabulous hosts and very attentive to our needs. They provided information on things to see and do, places to eat, and even gave suggestions for additional places to look for an additional night as theirs was already booked up. We forgot our drinking cups and she sent a picture to us as we were just down the road to remind us we had forgotten them. They took excellent care of us and I will definitely stay with them again when I return. Very clean, in a lovely location, and only 3 miles from the Hilo airport. Mahalo for your gracious hospitality. George L. and Lynette N. from Oklahoma

Comfortable room in a nice area of Hilo
Hannah was a great host! The room was ready early so we could check-in and get in out of the rain. It was raining almost non-stop during our visit, so we were unable to enjoy the gardens although we wanted to. Very comfortable room.

The property was beautiful. The pictures don’t do it justice. It is so peaceful, quiet, and very relaxing. You feel like you are staying in the middle of nowhere even though you are in the busy city of Hilo. We stayed at two other locations on the Big Island and this cozy location was by far our favorite.

Wonderful stay
This beautiful house was located on a very secluded Reeds island just a few minute's drive from Hilo town. We enjoy our time by looking at the green out of the windows with the sound of the stream. The linen and towels were very fresh and crisp which is hard to keep in their climate, the room was spotless. It didn't have a kitchen but had a big sink, refrigerator, microwave, and Keurig. In the common area, there were plates, knives, and tensile so enough for us to prepare light breakfast and Pupu. The road leading you to the house is almost private so absolutely no noise of traffic, which was rare in Hilo town. The host was very sweet and easy to communicate with, we highly recommend it.
