Feel like a local!

This property made me feel like what it would feel like to be a local. It's an older Hawaiian house in a well kept, quiet neighborhood. I liked the big widows we kept open and a few mornings hearing the rain was so soothing. It was a relaxing place for my family after long days sightseeing. I appreciated the driveway and covered parking since it rained quite a bit during our stay. We had a great time here! Thank you!

Cute, comfortable Hawaiian cottage

Thom's place was in a very quiet and safe neighborhood in the Hilo area. Centrally located. The cottage was older, but well kept and clean. Great for a short stay.

Disappointing

The home is stylish on the pictures, although in reality the place is really old and needs maintenance Carpets are stained and smelly, kitchen has insects defecation on almost all of then. Bathroom doesn't makes it better. The bed mattress are ok, but again bedsheets are stained and the rooms does not smell good. Everything is in bad shape and from the pictures you would not except it. We were very disappointed by this rental.

Great place!

This house was a great place for our 3-day visit to Hilo and the east side of the Big Island. The location is great, and easy to find. The house had everything we needed, and gave us a good sleep and start/end to our days. We didn't spend much time there during the day, as we were out seeing the volcano, driving to the south end of the island, and looking around Hilo. We had a wonderful visit.

It was a convenient/quiet location (except for the koki frogs). It brought back memories (growing up in the area) and having friends that lived on the street.

Hilo Happy

We had a great stay in this lovely Hawaiian home on a quiet street minutes from everything we wanted to do in Hilo. The house had huge windows and a great breeze even though it was a raining several days of our visit. The beds and furniture were tasteful and comfortable with large rooms. The back yard had a wall of vegetation which made it private and so quiet. Covered parking was really appreciated in the rain. Thom was so kind and offered insight and advice about the Big Island. He was flexible about check in and check out.

From okay to GREAT!

When we first arrived, I wasn't sure if I would be comfortable in this house but I soon grew to love being here. We had a staycation in Hilo and loved it. My favorite moment was when a waitress at Hawaiian Style Cafe told me to bring my Tupperware next time to pack my leftovers. So I'm guessing staying in a residential area made me look and feel like a local! Also, I know that many people commended THOM for all he did to make our stay even better.

Very convenient Hilo house

Quiet neighborhood, with quick and convenient access to Downtown Hilo and neighboring areas. This is an older home, with some cool, unique touches. Very good airflow. The house is a little musty when closed up, but cleared out quickly with the windows. Nice yard, with a cozy table area off from the kitchen. Good kitchen for cooking in, and a nice dining area. Very comfortable for our family.
