The cottage is perfect sized, and comfortable for 2 adults. It had everything we needed for our stay. A tea kettle of some sort would be a nice addition but a small saucepot & lid worked fine. AC worked well and was nice until we had a couple days to aclimate to the heat. After that opening the sliding doors in the evening and having ceiling fans on kept everything very comfortable without needing AC. The roosters are loud, but the owner is very upfront about them when booking. Earplugs kept by the bed for when they start early morning crowing worked well for me, my husband slept right thru the crowing most mornings. The location is perfect, close enough to "town" for anything you need or want to do, far enough from town for great night viewing of stars. Owner is fantastic and reached out in person via phone right after booking, right before trip and the morning after arrival to be sure everything was fine.

My wife and I had a great two week stay at this comfortable and spacious cottage near the edge of Hilo but within a short drive to the shops and the surrounding attractions. The wrap around windows, doors and deck allowed us to open up the living room and kitchen so that we rarely used the A/C since there was a good breeze most of the time. The serene views of the expansive front yard and surrounding pastures were appreciated every day. A note about the roosters. During our stay, they were nice and quiet in the evening and the first half of the night, not a peep out of them when watching a movie and going to bed. We felt it important to say this, it is not all night. It's true they start up before daylight but good ear plugs work quite nicely. It was always a pleasure to hear from Lillias because she does such a good job communicating, keeping in touch with just the right amount of contact so she can answer any questions. We definitely recommend her place for a stay on the windward side of the island and would stay there again ourselves. Thank you Lillias!

I can't say enough how much I enjoyed my stay at this property. As you can probably see in other reviews, yes the neighboring property has roosters, and yes they do make a fair amount of noise. The property owner was extremely up front about it, and made sure multiple times prior to booking and when confirming that I was aware. I stayed for 2 weeks, even having work calls during the sunrise timeframe, and the roosters in no way bothered me. If you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs, and you shouldn't have a problem. I had no difficulty sleeping. Trust me, the lovely rental and beautiful property far outweigh any noise you might hear. The property owner was fantastic, communicated frequently, and was very accommodating. The property is well equipped, private, and an easy drive to everything you will want to do in the Hilo area. It is on the same property as a family home, however it is not attached to the home and the many lovely windows face out to the expansive yard and serene setting. The living area is surrounded on 3 sides by windows with sliding doors that you can open up to feel like your own tropical oasis! I love to cook, and the kitchen had everything I needed. The bed was very comfortable, and the living room was a great place to hang out and relax. I visit Hilo every year, and have stayed in several vacation rentals in the area. This one is a gem! I will definitely look for this place again the next time I am in Hilo.

Stayed two months here. Place is located in a really private area on the outskirts of town. Lilly, the owner is terrific, she also respected our privacy and was very accommodating. The place itself is nothing fancy, but clean and functional. We would stay again if we found ourselves in Hilo again someday.

Great Location - My visit to the island to see family and friends was so much nicer with a centralized location that I could come back and kick up my feet. The rental was well furnished and very comfortable. Whenever I come home I will be seeing if this place is available.

Nice private place; lots of space in the unit, good communications with owner. Neighborhood chickens weren't a problem for us as we ran the a/c while there, and the noise from the a/c drowned out the crowing of the roosters.

She seemed nice but the property wasn’t up to par

She seemed nice but the property wasn’t up to par

To put it politely, it was worth the money she refused to refund us to leave as soon as possible. Hopefully she will consider using that money to hire someone to clean her guesthouse properly, so as not to be a health and safety issue for future guests. Once cleaned, I imagine it would be a charming little stay. Photos of the living room were different than the actual living room. It just needs to be a bit updated and cleaned thoroughly. I woke up in a panic in the middle of the night and smell of mold and we just had to leave. She is nice but it took a long time to get a response and partial refund.

As the host will tell you, the roosters can be noisy during the night so just take some wax ear plugs.

Lillias is a great host. She cares about her guests' comfort (great cookies). She warned us about the roosters, but we decided to stay anyway. Glad we did! If in Hilo will stay here again.

Great location, clean and comfortable. Roosters nearby take a little getting used to but all other amenities out weigh the noise. The house had all we needed for our 7 week stay.

This place was perfect for us; even the crowing roosters were OK. It is located close to food stores & restaurants, but is out in the country in a very private location. It had everything we needed to be comfortable, even an air conditioner (which we used very little). Internet worked perfectly & the washer/dryer was a big plus! Would go there again!

Clean, comfortable house near Hilo

I stayed here for 8 days in February 2018 while on vacation on the Big island. It is located just a few miles from several restaurants, a large KTA supermarket and downtown Hilo. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is an easy 30 minute drive. The house is very clean and well-maintained. The kitchen is fully stocked with all of the utensils you would ever need along with a full-size refrigerator, electric oven, microwave, toaster and coffee maker. The wi-fi is better than most hotels I've stayed at and there is a full range of cable TV stations. The owner (Leialoh) is nearby if there are any problems, but there weren't any problems. The house is located 100 yards from the street, so there is no traffic noise. Just one issue (and it isn't Leialoh's fault) - her neighbors (about a quarter mile away) have a dozen roosters that crow at all hours. I closed the window in the bedroom, so I barely heard them. But if you are a light sleeper, you might have an issue. Otherwise, it was a perfect week.

Convenient, lots of windows, clean, comfortable!!!

This was our 3rd stay here. We keep coming back because it is airy, very clean, very comfortable. Amenities were provided....coffee maker w/coffee grinds, pots & pans, dishes, utensils...everything to cook yourself a meal. Your own washer & dryer. And the very best perk was having Lillias as a wonderful owner of this beautiful 1-bedroom unit. We will definitely come back!!!
