A beautiful location and a great host

Even though it is in the middle of a residential area and not far from many shops and restaurants, it really was like staying in a little jungle! Diana was super- accomodating and had a lot of helpful advice about things to do and places to go. And the fruit she grows on the property is beyond amazing.

A truly marvelous oasis...

I stayed there for a little over a month. The studio was amazing. Tucked away on a corner of the property it was quiet, clean, modern and well appointed. Bed was super and the best I've ever slept on in a B&B. The small patio outside was perfect for relaxing or eating and overlooks the beautiful garden. Property location is close to all of the essentials. Shopping center with groceries, pizza, Chinese food, etc was 5 minutes away. Walmart for basic essentials was another 2 minutes further. Beaches and town were around a 10 minute drive and the Volcano was about 40 minutes away. Can't be beat for a stay in the Hilo area! Thanks Diana for being such a gracious host.

Cozy Cottage Hideaway

Nice quiet and secluded cottage tucked away in the back of the property, surrounded by tropical "jungle"! After sightseeing, it was nice to return to the peace and quiet of our hideaway! Can not say enough about the cleanliness, as we have stayed numerous resort style rentals that were not as clean as this! The fresh fruit bowl upon our arrival was a real treat! The location was ideal for sightseeing as well as shopping and eating out. We visited Volcanoes National Park and Mauna Kea Observatory as well as numerous beaches and parks! Many restaurants to choose from as well, all within a short drive. The Pineapple and Jackie Rey's were both nice, but each had a totally different atmosphere. Many others to choose from along with a fantastic farmers market for fresh produce. Diana always had a smile and made us feel right at home! Spent two weeks here and hope to return!

Jungle hideaway

We enjoyed our stay in this charming little cottage tucked back away from the street surrounded by tropical vegetation. It is great for one or two people looking for an affordable place in the Hilo area. It is a nice quiet location away from the hotel area but still close to attractions. Diana is a nice hostess who saw to our needs, and we enjoyed talking with her.

Tropical paradise

Diana greeted us Friday evening upon our arrival. Fresh papaya was a pleasant surprise. Accommodations were great. Diana provided us with helpful hints on local businesses and Hilo Farmer’s Market. We would stay with Diana, if we visit again.

Perfect!

We truly enjoyed our stay here! Diana and Juan were very hospitable and made us feel right at home. Their accommodations made our trip much more convenient and enjoyable, from a full kitchen with a refrigerator to cook and store our own meals to providing a washer and dryer/clothesline so we could travel light. Not to mention they sent us on our way with a bag full of delicious homegrown mangoes! Definitely our first choice and recommendation for a place to stay on the big island!
