Great place to stay

Everything was as expected, and the hosts were gracious and welcoming. The directions and instructions were clear and accurate. The lovely rental was equipped with everything we needed, and we particularly enjoyed the view from the observation deck. The Coqui frogs were loud at night, but we found their variety of calls funny and entertaining. The property’s location was a great base for relaxing or exploring the Hilo area.

Great local stay with amazing view in Hilo!

Marie was a super friendly host! Our check in was smooth and the suite we rented from her was clean and had what we needed. This is a separate suite on her property. The observation deck in the yard was the best to view sunrise and sunset watching surfers catch their waves. Bring earplugs as the coqui frogs get loud and sounds like non stop chirping.

Loved this place!

This was a wonderful place (it’s an addition connected to the owner’s home) in a great location just north of Hilo. The owners were very nice and the observation deck was great to watch for whales and look at the surfers.It was great to fall asleep listening to the frogs and waking up to the birds. The gardens and plants around the house were amazing.Thank you so much!

This was a great spot in Hilo. We were visiting friends and busy touring the island. So, the guest house worked great for the 2 of us. We were able to sit on observation deck and it was lovely!! Would stay here again.
