Great B&B

The room was nice, and they stocked your fridge with a nice breakfast for each morning. The pool is incredible - it over looked the ocean including a nice surfing beach and Hilo town. The room also had a nice private lanai area for each room overlooking the ocean.

Wonderful location!

The view from the big windows was spectacular. We enjoyed our breakfast on the patio every morning. The floral display around the house was stunning. We couldn't have asked for a better location. We did trips to the north and south ends of the island. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Comfortable stay withgreat view

We enjoyed our stay here very much. Just a few recommendations: instructions to the room could have been a bit clearer. Luckily, we got here before dark. Outdoor lighting along the path would help, too! The breakfast fruit and muffins were a very nice touch. Kekela was very nice, too!

Perfect for us!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay! The lanai looking out over the ocean was exactly what I wanted. We enjoyed getting to watch the surfers down below. The daily breakfast was perfect and the coffee was delicious. We had the property to ourselves so it was very quiet and peaceful. My husband and I both agreed we will come back if we get the chance!

Beautiful Babymoon Stay

This is the first b&b that we've actually gotten the breakfast part of the b! The Bamboo room was well equipped and quiet at the end of the house (no one passing by our porch). The breakfasts were such a nice touch with super fresh fruit, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, and muffins. I love that it was provided because it allowed us to sit out and watch the sunrise with our coffee (also in room with fresh milk). It was so nice to really enjoy the lanai without having to leave. The pool was so nice in the heat and my husband loved watching the surfers down at the beach. Screens allowed us to open the windows and listen to the ocean and animals at night. Truly a wonderful stay close to Hilo, Volcano National Park, and other east island points of interest. Thank you for sharing your home!

OK - nice view, but many mosquitos and a bit lonely

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The room was very nice and clean. And we had a wounderful view on the sea, including sunrise. We stayed for four nights. But this was a bit too long, 2 nights would have been enough.The breakfast became every day less: no more yoghurts, no more oat meals.The pool was not working in time. At night we did not want to sit outside, because of the mosquitos (but this was just our problem ;-))

Perfect Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My sister and I spent four nights here during our 2-week vacation in Hawaii. Of the four places that we stayed, this proved to be our favorite. Being an end room, the Bamboo provides exceptional privacy along with the beautiful sunrise view. The singing of the coqui frogs only added to the unique experience. We enjoyed having a leisurely breakfast on the lanai, each day a different flavor of muffin and blend of fresh fruit. The property and beautiful landscaping are well maintained and clean. We appreciated the daily cleaning of dishes, trash removal, and delivery of the next morning's breakfast. The location was perfect for our activities along the northern coast, yet an easy drive into Hilo and points beyond. While parking is a bit tricky, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
