While this property isn’t in what’s considered a touristy area, it was quite convenient and comfortable for our needs.

Lovely
I really enjoyed staying here. It was clean and just so nice. There is no AC however there is a nice cross breeze due to all the windows and the sunshine that comes through is wonderful! It's just a 5 minute drive from Hilo town and it's a straight easy drive. There is some noise due to the main road however it's not bad at all. The sound of the coqui frogs were also enjoyable because it sounds like they are saying "co-qee." If you search up the property on google maps it shows an abandoned bakery however don't worry, the house is right behind it and it does actually exist. The manager Thom is also very responsive and so nice!

Great, comfortable family home.
The property was as advertised, It’s an adorable plantation style home. Very convenient to Hilo Town. With a nice renovated kitchen and new washer/dryer. The only drawback was some road noise, but the birdsong in the morning made up for it.

Nice home close to Hilo town
Our family of 6 ranging from 28 to 88 enjoyed this charming plantation style house for 2 nights. The location was perfect for the end of our long drive from Kailua-Kona; just outside Hilo town, and close to the botanical garden and Akaka Falls. We appreciated the large kitchen and dining/living area, as we prepared our dinner and breakfast at the house, and there was enough seating for 6 people. The kitchen was pretty well equipped, but it was a little difficult finding things needed for cooking as they were scattered among several drawers/cupboards. Knives are all serrated and there was no vegetable peeler. Appliances worked perfectly. Bedrooms were well furnished, one bedroom is pretty small but the other two are more spacious. The house faces the main highway so there is traffic noise but it slows/stops in the evening so it's quieter. When we stayed there was a tenant living downstairs and we were asked to respect quiet hours so if you are a night owl be aware. Overall, a very comfortable and well furnished house. Thank you for helping us make memories!

Awesome stay in Hilo!
Amazing house with all the amenities! It was great they had beach supplies so we didn't have to pack them. Thom was an awesome host. He gave us great tips and was very responsive and was the first to welcome us on the island when we landed.
