Affordable stat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall a great affordable stay in Hilo. Breakfast with pastries, milk, yogurt, and fresh fruit (the best), every day in a bed and breakfast. There isn't AC but the ceiling fan with regular fan and the windows open make it feel very cool and breezy. There are the local frogs out at night that can sometimes chirp a bit loudly, but that's the island experience. I had no issues. The pool is in a nice location, and the water was clean (the bottom could be cleaned), cleaner comes on Fridays. The only real improvements I could comment on is the access to the bamboo room requires walking through stairs but at the top there is a giant branch coming from the bush. While handling luggage it gets in the way. If I had a knife or a clipper I could clip the branch away - you'll see it's a decent sized branch. It whiplashed my wife as we were walking upstairs. The fridge in the common room was leftover from prior guests. There are eggs from 3 months ago and pizza from an unknown period of time, and other yogurt from earlier 4-5 months ago. Overall a great affordable stay though, and would return again for sure.

Great B&B

The room was nice, and they stocked your fridge with a nice breakfast for each morning. The pool is incredible - it over looked the ocean including a nice surfing beach and Hilo town. The room also had a nice private lanai area for each room overlooking the ocean.

Best place to end our honeymoon!

This property was our last stop on our two-week Hawaii Island honeymoon. The location was amazing and the quaint B&B style was exactly what we needed. We loved our morning coffee, fresh fruit, and yummy sweet bread while taking in the warm sun and ocean views. We will definitely return for anniversary trips!

I truly enjoyed my stay at this location. I was amazed by the view and really enjoyed being directly on the ocean. The pool and hot tub were welcome, and I was able to see the humpbacks in the bay. Also, a wonderful view of the sunrise from here. The fresh fruit and breakfast accommodations were a nice touch.
