Couldn’t have chosen a better and more comfortable place to stay while exploring the Big Island. You have everything you need and more while staying here.
Spacious, airy and very clean studio. Comfortable queen and sofa bed. Covered lanai is available. Kitchen and appliances all in good working condition. Parking in garage next to the house.
Ingrid was an amazing host. She’s very friendly and helpful and her kitchen has absolutely everything! I love that she provides an easy system for recycling and even composting at the property. Useful food is also kept in the unit fridge and not tossed which is an important value when it is expensive to shop and you can never buy only small quantities for a short stay. We loved the outdoor table on the lanai most! All in all a terrific stay in a quiet location very close to downtown Hilo. We hope to come back.
Wonderful place to stay to explore Hilo and Volcanoes National Park. Comfortable, clean and a beautiful setting that feels like being in a tree-house with lovely views. The hosts are very welcoming and close by to help with anything that is needed. We highly recommend and would love to stay again someday in the future. Mahalo to our kind hosts for making our vacation even more special.

We had a great time in Hilo and it started with a wonderful place to stay. The bed was comfortable, everything was clean and our host was very sweet! She was always willing to listen to our stories of the day. We will definitely stay again when in Hilo.
Wonderful stay on a wonderful island! The place was very clean and stocked with all the items you would require. Communication with Ingrid was perfect and seamless. Definitely recommend and hope to be back one day!
We enjoyed our stay at this VROB immensely. The living area was large and had lots of seating and good lighting. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked with everything we needed. We didn't do any cooking but there were lots of pans and pots if you did want to. Everything was awesome and we appreciated being able to stay there.
Ingrid has thought of everything in creating this lovely apartment. She has everything you need to live very comfortably, and her decor is instantly relaxing and pleasant. We will definitely be coming back the next time we visit Hilo.
The location was just what I thought it would be. It was easy to get into Hilo town or head to Volcano National Park.
The host is very responsive to any needs we had since she is right there on site. The interior was clean and very comfortable. The lanai is perfectly private.

About the host
Hosted by Ingrid & Amon Faltstrom
We are a family of four. We have a daughter and a son. The house owner is born and raised here on the Big Island. His wife is from Germany.
Why they chose this property
This house is now 30 years owned by the family. It is passed on through the generations of the house owners family. The house itself is an old Plantation house style building. This means it is the old style they builded houses here on the island 50 years ago. In the last year the house underwent major renovations and rebuilding to make it much nicer and also a little bid bigger. The location is a nice, secure and quiet neighborhood on the golf driving range. That makes this house and location as a vacation rental quite unique.
What makes this property unique
We fell in love with the nice, big and airy studio. The view from its patio out over the yard, the golf course, and out the ocean.
