Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mukund N. Jan 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious House with a Beautiful View Our family of four stayed here for 2 nights and really enjoyed the place. The house is quite spacious with two bedrooms and a large kitchen area. It also has a nice view from the porch, which can be great in the evenings. (Watch out for the aggressive rooster that wants to be fed every time you have something in the porch).The place is close to Volcanoes National Park, Hilo Bay, Rainbow Falls and the Japanese gardens. We brought some groceries and cooked and ate at the place and had a good time.I will strongly recommend this place. ##### Mukund N. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison W. Nov 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful, very comfortable, clean, updated space! My family of 3 very much enjoyed the peace and quiet, backyard deck (with amazing view) for eating meals, plenty of space, comfortable beds and clean linens, as well as the beach towels to make our visit effortless-- just what you want on vacation. The instructions were very clear for what to look for when at the home/parking and entering. The host/hostess understand what travelers are hoping for when on vacation-- Very relaxing, comfortable, quiet and peaceful. Location is up the hill from Hilo and removed from the city yet very close to several outdoor attractions, which is exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend--5 stars!! ##### Alison W. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Moises Jun 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The stay was great, guesthouse was very clean and had everything you need. The host answered all questions right away. 15min from everything in Downtown Hilo. Only thing for me was I didn’t feel much privacy since the family is in garage connected to the house we are in and there house is right in front. But I would totally recommend. ##### Moises Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [ALOHA OceanFront Condo w.A/C, Molokai, Hawaii Watch whales Dec-April.](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaunakakai-Hotels-112night-Special-Ocean-Front-Condo-Molokai.h24414008.Hotel-Information) > > [Hanalei Bay Resort 1 Bed/1Bath Condo, Award Winning Pool, 5 Minutes to the Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Princeville-Hotels-Hanalei-Bay-Resort-1-Bed1Bath-Condo.h74725559.Hotel-Information) > > [Kolea 14F Pool, Gym & More!](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Kolea-14F-At-The-Waikoloa-Beach-Resort.h61619355.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Ocean Tower Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Ocean-Tower-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h28763131.Hotel-Information) > > [Lush Molokai Island Oasis w/ Private Pool + Beach!](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaunakakai-Hotels-Lush-Molokai-Island-Oasis-W-Private-Pool-Beach.h44319949.Hotel-Information) > > [Lahaina Shores](https://www.expedia.ca/Lahaina-Hotels-Lahaina-Shores-Beach-Resort.h84901.Hotel-Information) > > [Castle at Princeville](https://www.expedia.ca/Princeville-Hotels-Castle-At-Princeville.h5927.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Moloka'i](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaunakakai-Hotels-Hotel-Molokai.h37170.Hotel-Information) > > [Hanalei Ohana, The Ultimate Hanalei Home TVNC #5128](https://www.expedia.ca/Hanalei-Hotels-The-Ultimate-Hanalei-Home-TVNC-5128.h57940677.Hotel-Information) > > [Hawaii Life Rentals Presents Puu Poa 302](https://www.expedia.ca/Princeville-Hotels-Hawaii-Life-Rentals-Presents-Puu-Poa-302.h82376007.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean View Room, Spectacular Beachfront Resort, 4 pools, Restaurants on site](https://www.expedia.ca/Lihue-Hotels-Spectacular-Oceanfront-Resort.h72394458.Hotel-Information) > > [Oceanfront Kauai Beach Resort 75 foot waterslide, 4 pools, Jacuzzis, restaurants](https://www.expedia.ca/Lihue-Hotels-Oceanfront-Kauai-Beach-Resort-75-Foot-Waterslide.h91772367.Hotel-Information) > > [Oceanfront #5 at Hana Kai Maui - 2 BR/2 BA Upper Floor Corner 100ʻ from Water!](https://www.expedia.ca/Hana-Hotels-Hana-Kai-Maui-Oceanfront-Kaahumanu-Upper-Corner-100-Off-Water.h34329797.Hotel-Information) > > [Relaxing 2-bedroom Lodge in Volcano with Hot Tub](https://www.expedia.ca/Volcano-Hotels-Relaxing-2-Bedroom-Lodge-In-Volcano-With-Hot-Tub.h88180703.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Kohala Suites Waikoloa](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Kohala-Suites-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h1487143.Hotel-Information) > > [2BR Ocean Views W/Large Lanai - Molokai Shores](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaunakakai-Hotels-2BR-Ocean-Views-WLarge-Lanai-Molokai-Shores.h90740705.Hotel-Information) > > [At the Crater's Edge](https://www.expedia.ca/Volcano-Hotels-At-The-Craters-Edge.h1872668.Hotel-Information) > > [Bay Club 2 bedroom Villa the heart of Waikoloa Village Beach-Kailua-Kona Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Villa-THE-BAY-Club.h60617308.Hotel-Information) > > [Single-story Shores Golf Villa 19 - 3 Ensuite & Loft](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-The-Shores-19-3-Ensuite-Loft-At-The-Waikoloa-Beach-Resort.h71123125.Hotel-Information) > > [3br w/so many extras!
