What an amazing place! Every single detail was thought about. We loved feeding the fish every morning, relaxing in the beautiful outdoor kitchen and backyard, an Simon the Siamese greeting us every morning was lovely! We loved the sounds of the coqui frogs at night and the sounds of birds in the morning. This place has everything and we highly recommend!

Greg and Dana are wonderful hosts. The space was better than described with a beautiful backyard garden and koi pond, super comfortable bed and pillows, options for indoor or outdoor shower, laundry facilities, and an amazing outdoor kitchen we utilized to make stir-fry noodles with ahi pokè with a fresh tuna i caught the previous day. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Close to rainbow falls and Kaŭmana Caves too.

The outdoor kitchen was absolutely wonderful. The choice to do laundry at no cost was wonderful. So great not to go home with dirty clothes. Location was close to lots of different waterfalls and water parks. It was a joy staying here except ear plugs are a good choice for the bird that sqauwked all night. Overall a wonderful place to stay.

Host did seem to think of everything: water in fridge, coffee pods available with creamer, and fully stocked dishes. Very beautiful back yard. The only complaint was it was a little difficult to park in the driveway so the owner could continue to get in and out.

This place is amazing. The moment we walked into the space we decided we would stay in for meals and enjoy the oasis. The pictures do not do it justice. It is so beautifully done. Manicured garden, awesome outdoor patio area. Fun outdoor shower and best of all is the private hot tub! It was perfect! Wish we had been able to stay longer!

our favorite place to stay in Hilo

We liked the stay so much last time (21') that we hunted down the property for our visit this year. The layout is really nice for two and has everything you'll need. Hosts are great as well, very friendly / approachable. Final notes: LOVE the outdoor stove for cooking and the hot tub is a treat after a long day of exploring the island.

Truly an Oasis

The neighborhood was quiet, and the home was lovely and private. The backyard was also fantastic to sit outside. The bed was extremely comfortable which was perfect after being out all day and wanting a good nights sleep for the day ahead! Fantastic hosts as well. They were quick to respond if anything is needed. The location was also perfect to get to several different areas easily!

Very clean and close to DT Hilo

The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay, including a jacuzzi that was perfect for a long day of hiking. The location was peaceful and just a short drive to DT Hilo and an even shorter drive to Rainbow Falls, Boiling pots and those caves (I forgot their names). The owners were very friendly and welcomed us as we arrived. We would definitely stay here again.
