Hannah and Tanner’s property was really cosy and allowed us to soak in the atmosphere of staying near a jungle. Prior to our check in, Hannah reached out and provided detailed instructions on how to locate the property. Everything was very well thought out and the laundry room was a real bonus! The day before check out, Hannah even notified that we could have a later checkout if necessary so we don’t need to rush. My wife and I were very appreciative of the kind gesture. Both Hannah and Tanner are really friendly folks and we will certainly look to stay again if we are back in Hilo!

We absolutely loved our stay and wish we could have stayed longer! The location is within walking distance of the centre of town and the neighbourhood is simply beautiful. The view of the rainforest gully is breath-taking and relaxing. We had everything we needed and could want fo4 our stay. The hosts were lovely (especially the friendly dog, who was a highlight) and helpful.

I loved this location. You have the option of AC, but I never used it, being quite comfortable with the breeze from the open windows looking out over the tropical valley behind the property. Falling asleep to the coqui frogs and the soft sounds of rain was rejuvenating. I loved walking into Hilo in the mornings, too, for a delicious breakfast at the Booch, before heading out on my excursions to the nearby sites. The hosts are also incredibly kind, friendly, and gracious. I would love to stay here again if I returned to the big island. **Also, with the housing crisis on the island, I wasn't sure about staying in a VRBO, but the owners rent only a part of the property and live nearby (but removed from the unit). This went a long ways towards assuaging my conscience on that score.

Comfortable and unique room and amenities, paired with interesting neighborhood in close proximity to downtown. Host knew we were keen to try new restaurants and had lots of good recommendations for us. Great communication from booking through check-in and out. Bonus for showing us the common laundry and supply room. Loved the location overlooking the tropical setting. Been to Hilo before, but this was by far the best visit.

Quiet lovely property. Hannah the owner was very accommodating and helpful with times/locations of local markets. The lack of air conditioning (in the room I was in, the other two do have ac) was not an issue as the evenings/mornings were cool and the bird sounds and fragrant flower smells were a treat. Need a car to access.
