Nice place to relax

My 3 days here were very peaceful. I was visiting my mom and this gave me a place to relax after a day of dealing with her! Nice comfortable bed and the pool was great. I'll stay again if I can.

Great stay

We really enjoyed our stay at Vivian’s condo. It was perfectly clean, in a quiet location, and free parking was also a big perk on Hawai’i. We enjoyed having the option to cook as well. There was silverware/pots/plates stocked in the kitchen. We had all we needed and really enjoyed our stay

Vivian was an excellent host. We came to Hawaii to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. It was the perfect place to stay . The apartment was close to many attractions I have food allergies and it was close to Island Naturals Market so I could eat vegan and organic. The kitchen had basic cooking essentials. We did get lost a couple of time but the people on the Big Island are so kind and helpful. We had a fun vacation. Thank you Vivian for a wonderful stay.😊♥️

Vivian is the perfect host!

I loved my stay at this adorable, comfortable unit in Hilo. It's in a great location with a pool perfect for short laps or play time for the kids. Vivian is a spot-on communicator. I had all the details I needed to check in and out easily. As a bonus, I had a great view of the 4th fireworks from the parking lot. Also, everyone in the complex was super nice.

Great little place, perfect location near Hilo.

Owner gave detail info finding the place and getting into the property. The studio had a comfortable bed with a large TV. Nice kitchen in the room and is stocked with enough items needed. There is a litle outlite room with a table for computer work also as you enter the bathroom. There is a little table on the porch, nice to sit outside. Large double slidibg doors with screens for fresh air. Owner had a book with great info for restaurants and activities. There is a larger pool. The complex is very quiet with lush plants and trees all around. We loved staying here, close to Hilo and 35 mins to Volcano National Park and 2 hours to Kona. Would higly recomend staying here. Shower good.

Lovely

Great value, comfortable cozy clean room with nice furniture. It did get a little warm/humid at times for me even with the portable cooling unit running, but that didn't bother my wife. My level of comfort is usually too cold for her. Pool was very nice, very close, and very useful for when I needed to cool off a bit. The area outside of the room/building felt a little sketchy when we first arrived, but there was nothing to be worried about. Anyone we ran into was very kind and friendly. Follow her instructions on how to find the correct building. Google maps sends you to the wrong side of the block. Overall a lovely stay without complaints.

Hello to Hilo

Beautiful property and awesome pool. The pool wasn’t open the first day and it was the last two days and we were so happy about it. For a condo type pool it was extra big. It was also warm. The property owner provided beach towels which were appreciated. I was hot the first night as there is no A/C. I contacted the host and she let me know the trick to leave the doors open, while locked. That was super helpful as the next night I slept well in a good temperature. There are cats, ducks and chickens on the grounds. This place is conveniently located close to Ola’s and an excellent ramen place. It is also decently close to Kula shaved ice and other fun places to visit in Hilo. Would definitely recommend and also would love to make a return stay. Would love more places to hang towels.
