Stayed Mar 10, 2023Good location out of the hustle and bustle of Hilo. Great ocean views. The pool and hot tub are very relaxing. The fresh fruit and muffins in the morning were an added bonus!

Stayed Mar 4, 2026This is a great location with a beautiful view, and convenient to town for restaurants and shopping. Our room was clean and inviting. The pool was a welcome feature. In fact, during our stay we canceled something we intended to do in favor of a relaxing afternoon at the pool. It’s also fun to watch all the surfers at the nearby beach from the house. The daily fruit and light breakfast items were a nice touch and greatly appreciated. One note -- the driveway is steep and getting out can be a challenge to negotiate for larger vehicles. We would definitely love to stay here again!

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rooms themselves are very simple but incredibly clean and comfortable. The massive lanai that wraps around the building connecting each room was the highlight of our stay - we ate our meals out there watching the waves and the surfers nearby. The sunrises here are unreal - and being able to watch them from in the cozy king sized bed made them all the better. The breakfast was modest but delicious, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. The property is quiet and very private. Absolutely would stay here again and again.

Stayed Aug 11, 2025The property was in a beautiful spot on the Hamakua Coast - very close to Hilo and to Angel Farms. The room was clean, the breakfast fruit was fresh and perfect, the bed was very comfortable and everything was very easy. Loved the pool as well - the only thing missing was a jacuzzi!! :) Thanks for a great stay!

I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice place but location close to ocean makes materials and furnishings age/wear quickly. Could use some Roman shades on lanais (for intense morning sun) and some overall improvements/updating. Still nice and had a great time though

We watched the sunrise each morning while enjoying the light breakfast provided. It was perfect for our time in Hilo. The location is convenient to Hilo, Akaka Falls, Tropical Botanical Gardens, Rainbow Falls, Volcanoes National Park. The property was clean and we enjoyed the pool. If you want a quiet getaway overlooking Hilo Bay, this is the place!

I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: To get any airflow into this room you have to open the curtains and if you open the curtains, it’s look right on to the walkway, so zero privacy. Tv is tiny and they need to check remote operation. Otherwise it’s a nice location.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an incredible stay. The room was quite spacious, the bed was very comfortable, the breakfast was delicious. We loved the sunrise wake ups each morning and falling asleep to the ocean waves and salt breeze. The tropical vibes of all the floral and greenery around the place helped make it more and more like paradise found! We only stayed a couple of days because we opted to try both sides of the island for the different vibes but we were actually disappointed to leave and try something else because we knew it couldn't be better!!! It was nice to stay somewhere without the touristy feel. We highly recommend and would for sure return for another stay!!!!!!!!!

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place was overall wonderful! What a great view! We loved sitting at our table in the mornings and eating our included breakfast. Which was great by the way. We really appreciated the plain Greek yogurt cups, and real hard boiled eggs and fresh fruit of papaya and pineapple the first day!! Having this included is a huge benefit and makes this place unique. Probably one of the best included breakfasts we have ever had and we travel alot. I wish the place felt a little more private. Others from the other 3 rooms can walk right past your sliding glass door, but there is nothing that can be changed about that. But you either have a view of the water or you have your privacy. So u have to just think about that when changing or getting out of the shower or laying in bed. Also, not sure if anything can be done about this, but it can get stuffie inside the room because there is no cross flow of air. I wondered if a dehumidifier could be a good investment for each room? Also, they have done a good job of refreshing the rooms and making them modern and the shower update was nice. There are a few spots that are still a bit old, but overall I think the rooms were fabulous. They also had everything you needed in terms of amenities inside, from wine glasses, to set of plates, coffee maker, microwave, etc. The common room was also a nice surprise for guests to place extra food that they couldn't eat and pass to others who could use it. We loved seeing whales from our view and enjoyed seeing the surfers in the bay from our space! The privacy walls they have set up too are a great amenity and help with the privacy. Overall, very quiet, beautiful, well- appointed place!
