Nice kitchen area for in home cooking - pots pans rice cooker etc- Comfynooks for relaxing- great wrap around deck with lounge chairs and a dining table! The garden is lush and creative. There are many cocqui frogs at night so if that bothers you, there is even ears plugs! Our only negative was that due to a plumbing issue my husband could not soak in the tub (for his degenerative disk) altho the shower worked fine. ##### Judith H.

Oct 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We loved our Hilo Vacation We stayed in Hilo during the third week of sept. The property was everything we had hoped for. When we pulled in there was a parking space right next to the entry so getting settled was a matter of minutes. Every room is full of interesting surprises. The space is large and gives you plenty of indoor and outdoor living. We absolutely loved the garden area and spent much of our time out on the deck next to it. This space is secluded and gives the feeling of being in a little private rain forest. Our stay was partly sunny with rain coming mostly in the evenings or during the night. This created a cozy sleeping environment with the sound of the geckos and soft rain. The bed is soft and the bathroom is close by. We enjoyed each room. There were litteraly hundreds of little pieces of Hawian history. Some spaces had the feel of a well desiged small museum. Our host Kawehi,was gracious and supplied us with unexpected pastries, and breakfast munchies. It was a pleasure to meet and talk with her. We want our vacations to feel like unique destinations. This one gets 5 out of 5! We can’t wait to return. Frank and Susanne Henderson ##### Frank H. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bryan R.

Nestled in a local neighborhood, this guesthouse gave us the authentic Hawaiian experience we were hoping for. The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and stocked with thoughtful touches—including snacks, food, and a fresh, sliced papaya waiting for us upon arrival.The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the natural cross-breeze from the large screen doors made the space feel airy and peaceful, especially in areas without AC. The garden was lush and vibrant, and we were surrounded by the soothing sounds of birds and nature throughout our stay.Communication with the host was seamless—she was warm, responsive, and truly welcoming. We couldn’t have asked for a better home base in Hilo. We’re already looking forward to staying here again on our next trip! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3be9169f-cc1d-42b9-88ae-89046ff2eb5a-1749930878655.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5a8fce80-d0bf-434c-863e-4de53690cfc1-1749930881544.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fc3022c0-5615-49d4-9e60-dc3f40b10284-1749930881104.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Linda R.

Ate breakfast each morning outside surrounded by beautiful landscaping. Didn't feel guilty about taking down time as even when you are inside, you still feel like you are outdoors. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Crystal M. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Becky H.

She was welcoming and generous with her home and advice. She had papaya and cake waiting for us and she even gave us the recipe for the cake. The house was eclectic and it was just what we wanted. It was a great stay and would certainly go back. ##### Becky H. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rex H.

The towels were big, soft, generous. There were lots of towels! ##### James M. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie R. May 27, 2018 #### Wonderful stay! We stayed for a week and had a lovely time at the Guesthouse. The bed was very comfortable and it was so nice to have AC in the bedroom at night. The patio is large and covered which made it so pleasant to sit out in the lovely garden while it is raining. We enjoyed the fresh fruit and croissants that Kawehi thoughtfully provided! The neighborhood is quiet and close to downtown. We look forward to returning again soon. Thank you Kawehi for being such a great Hostess! ##### Julie R.

I loved the kitchen. I'll come again . Laurelyn ##### Lori B. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2016 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Meegan M. Jul 6, 2013 #### Aloha Hawaii I couldn't have asked for a more delightful, comfortable, private and centrally located lodging to all the places Hilo and the Big Island have to offer. It felt like my own little Hawaiian cottage. Kawehi was as helpful and available as one needs her to be and I feel like I made a dear friend. I would return in a heartbeat!! ##### Meegan M. ## 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!
