The inside matches the images from website and surpassed my expectations. The host is kind and gracious.

Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher Jun 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication I can’t say enough about how great this little cottage and Jean, our host, were!! Jean obviously put a lot of thought into what her visitors want and need in a home away from home — things like a cooler for any excursions around the island, and even twin bathrobes hanging in the bathroom! And in the fridge were bottles of regular AND coconut water, with island-roasted coffee, shortbread cookies, and chocolate-covered macadamia nuts waiting on the kitchen stand accented with fresh hibiscus blossoms. A little pull-cart was available to get our belongings to and from the car and the cottage’s front door. When a host thinks of these sorts of things, you can’t help but feel genuinely “welcomed”. On top of these thoughtful touches, the cottage itself was spotless and organized, and the garden outside was MAGNIFICENT! Honestly, we felt like we had a little hidden cottage with paradise as the front yard!! Anthuriums, orchids, a small koi pond with a softly burbling fountain, and lots of ferns. We enjoyed our morning coffee each day sitting at the little table and chairs outside the cottage, and just took in the sight and sound of the garden before venturing out. Such a nice way to be on vacation! And close proximity to Hilo downtown, restaurants, drug store, waterfront, and groceries without being IN these areas when you just want to sleep or relax inside. Stay at this great little gem of a lodging choice! You absolutely will not be disappointed!! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/befd52af-5c33-4604-aa0e-e2214977dfd2-1749674136186.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fd2d444d-119a-4172-850c-c894356b79ff-1749674136337.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1f931dd4-7d00-4e0f-8ce7-1ca5838df832-1749674135579.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/08d157b7-09e7-46c0-a27a-e0fb0b8b92be-1749674134554.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Christopher Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jim D.

Jean was an amazing host, very polite and answered all our questions. Good directions on how to get to the property and she met us there for check-in. She has an amazing yard with many different types of flowering plants. The backyard is filled with birds, and we enjoyed seeing doves and java sparrows every morning. The rental is very clean and in excellent shape, with everything needed to make it a home away from home during our vacation. The location was perfect, allowing just a short drive to downtown Hilo and the shoreline, but away from all the city noise and busy streets at the end of the day. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, with only the sound of the frogs at night. Highly recommended and we would consider staying there again. ##### Jim D.

Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amber W., Rock Island Aug 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful garden property The cottage is the perfect size and it’s lovely. The garden is amazing and beautiful to wander around in. The only thing I would say that is a downfall, is the birds. They are loud in the mornings. ##### Amber W.

I would highly recommend this VRBO when looking to stay in the Hilo area. It is a very comfortable and quiet place . We will surely use these accommodations again if available. ##### Bob B.

Aug 7, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Home away from home I was traveling on business and this cottage had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The grounds are beautiful with loads of tropical flowers and a koi pond and the cottage itself is very well maintained, very clean and relaxing. There is no air conditioning if that is important to you, but the area is cool and has a nice breeze blowing which keeps the place cool. I would definitely return to this location for future trips. ##### Terri V.
