About this property
Discover a captivating home nestled in the vibrant heart of Hilo.
This ground-floor unit is located in a conveniently situated two-story home in the heart of Hilo, within a pleasant and safe neighborhood. It's within walking or biking distance to most amenities in Hilo town.
Nestled on a private, low-traffic side street, the unit is removed from the noise of city life while still being centrally located to everything Hilo has to offer.
The spacious unit includes two bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room, and a kitchen. One bedroom features a double bed, while the other has a queen bed, both equipped with super comfortable, high-quality mattresses. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, although it does utilize a hot plate, a microwave, and a variety of cooking gadgets instead of a traditional range or oven.
On-site parking is available for one vehicle, with additional street parking just a short distance away.
Enjoy a private, nicely sized backyard that's perfect for barbecues or for sipping coffee and having meals in the covered back lanai. The yard is lined with fruit trees, including bananas, citrus, and pineapple.

About the host
Hosted by DIANA R MACHADO
I was born and raised on the Island of Yap, in the Federated States of Micronesia. I have lived on the Big Island of Hawaii for 28 years and loving everything this island has to offer. I'm an avid swimmer, enjoys gardening, traveling, reading, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and happy to welcome those wanting a slice of paradise, whether it's a day stay or longer I do what I can to share a bit of the Aloha spirit the pacific islands/ islanders are known for.
Why they chose this property
A relaxing stay awaits you at this property where all your concerns are taken seriously and addressed quickly. A place where the feeling of being part of a bigger 'Ohana' prevails.
What makes this property unique
Can't beat the convenience of being in the heart of Hilo town, within easy walking distances to amenities such as shopping and restaurants, with an urgent care center close by, in a safe, quiet neighborhood on a side street away from traffic noises.
