Reviews
Close to UH Hilo - Best host on ever!
5/5 Visited Hilo to drop our daughter off at UH. Super close to campus and everything in town.
Our Host, Thom, introduced himself prior to our visit, ensured we were good to go upon arrival and helped us with everything from finding a bicycle shop in town to allowing us a late check out to complete our Girl's move-in to the dorm. He truly made our stay amazing and we will be back for sure.
Great house. Very comfortable and nice layout.
Very comfortable lots of aloha
5/5 This house was very comfortable and had everything we needed.
Definitely will use this house every time I go to Hilo
Cute Hilo house
5/5 This house was perfect for our family of 6. It was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Our children enjoyed sleeping in separate rooms and they loved the huge yard. If you’re in Hilo with your family we’d definitely recommend this property!!!

Great stay but cleaning could improve
4/5 We enjoyed staying in this home with our 3 children. There was lots of room for all of us and the kitchen was well stocked with lots of cooking utensils, salad spinner, etc. We understand that the area is very humid and therefore it is difficult to keep homes clean, although deep cleaning is definitely needed at this home. The kitchen cupboards are pretty dirty and the washing machine smells of mold. A great stay but room for improvement!
Cleanliness
2/5 As a professional cleaning service owner, upon check in - it was definitely not up to standard. Sadly, in order to enjoy our stay we had to clean the entire house, again. It is highly suggested you reevaluate your housekeeper. This beautiful home deserves a deep clean, and some restocking of items. I hope you find our feedback useful. Mahalo!
