Our stay was truly exceptional,with a fantastic location, impeccable attention to detail, and a genuinely warm welcome. I do have one suggestion: considering adding Rubens Mexican to your recommened dining options, as it is a Hilo institution since1979. We actually made a special trip to Hilo to bring back a large order, and I highly recommend it to future guest. Mahalo for hosting us and we will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet place.

Great Place in Hilo!

We spent two nights here and really liked this place. The kitchen had everything we needed. It was easy to find, park, gain access, and we even did laundry. Fairly close to downtown to drive for dinner. Host had an excellent book created with lots of details. Would stay here again if in Hilo area. Thanks Joe!

This condo is well kept and decorated beautifully with a lot of effort to keep the guest comfortable. When we checked in (myself and my 13yo son) we immediately smelled marijuana. The guests prior to us- who should honestly pay a massive fee for leaving such a smell on this condo that lasted for our visit and it was soaked in the pillows. There is a beautiful porch that is beautifully decorated with a hammock and a table and these people and their lack of respect for both the owner and the next guest really put a damper on our vacation. We left the doors open while we were there to try and air out the place. Also very inconsiderate to the neighbors who are right next door. The host was more than helpful, but every time we left and came back we were blasted with a pot smell. The bed is comfortable, there are many channels on the tv and the kitchen has all the appliances you would need. LocalPlaces that are a must- Kyla shaved Ice Pesto Cafe- The Luau pizza is a must! Cafe 100Ken’s House of pancakes for breakfast.The Hawaii Botanical Gardens are beautiful.

The best place to stay in Hilo!

My partner and I loved staying here when we traveled through Hilo. The surrounding area is really nice to walk around, and the interiors are absolutely beautiful. The host was extremely accommodating to fulfill my last minute request to stay here, and was very communicative through the entire process. The use of the washer/dryer facility was a bonus, as we had been traveling and doing lots of hiking which meant we did a load while we stayed there for the night. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful little home in central location of Hilo

We had a peaceful stay in this little house. The house has everything we need for the stay. The house is close to cafe, other shops, restaurants and even close to famous Rainbow falls. Parking is very convenient in front of the building. Please note that the building does not have elevator, but it was not at all a problem for us as house is on the 2nd floor. Would definitely recommend to others.

Beautiful place

Out of 6 places we stayed on our 3-island tour, this was far and away the nicest. Absolutely beautiful and fully equipped, including in-room access to a couple of e-scooters (additional cost, FYI, but still, wow!). We had a minor problem with the safe, the owner replied to our inquiry within minutes and solved the problem. A 10/10 stay.

Sweet Stay

The property was just as advertised. The host was very responsive. The only major downside was the weather. Torrential rains every day so we could not enjoy the pool, scooters, or beaches. I won’t visit the Hilo side again during this time of year. Thanks for the experience.

Satisfied

The condo was exactly how it is advertised. Clean, comfortable, top of the line appliances, and away from the hustle and bustle of Merrie Monarch Activities but centrally located so you could participate and or attend any one of the many craft fairs. We loved it! If there is anything I could suggest it is to put up a full-body mirror. After all the shopping that takes place during MM week it would be nice to try on and see the clothes you purchased just in case you need to make exchanges.
