Perfect little "Ohana" in a beautiful, historic neighborhood with fast, easy access to Hilo town. The unit is clean, modern and comfortable. The host was very responsive when I had questions. I'd absolutely stay here again.

The Best Stay in Hilo Town!

A great getaway, secluded and peaceful. Wonderful hosts and can’t wait to visit Hilo again soon. We will recommended to all of our friends and family. Way better to stay at this property than any of the hotels in the Hilo area.

Tucked away jewel

Quiet tucked away place pretty central to Hilo. Easy to go north or south for adventures. Tanner was very quick to get us a bottle opener and glasses and then extra coffee for the morning. Only noise came from the frogs 🐸

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.

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.

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.

After booking our host remained in regular contact. She couldn’t have been helpful/informative. This continued after our arrival. Nothing was too much trouble. It made our stay in Hilo quite exceptional Thank

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!

Cute and Clean

Check in process was extremely easy, room was very cute and clean. Quiet neighborhood with the exception of the frogs at night haha. Great area and was close to everything. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. I will say that I did not notice the bathroom is kind of open air, so just a heads up for others that may not be fully comfortable with that.

Lovely Stay

I loved how this unit was part of a home but we never saw anyone else while we were there. Communication was clear and available before and during our stay. They were so accommodating and it was the perfect location, close to town but still felt apart from the hustle and bustle. It was nicely appointed and above all else, easy.
