“Incredible B&B!! Friendly atmosphere and great location :)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 December 2011

Wow, this B&B does live up to its rave reviews. It is just outside of the downtown area and a 2 minute walk to a very beautiful surfing beach. Our room (Hula room) was very nice, clean and exactly what we needed, plus a little more (the private living room area was a nice surprise). There is also a gorgeous backyard and patio area with fruit trees, a koi pond (if you are lucky you may get a kiss from his fish Lilly) and swimming pool. Steve is a wonderful host who really has great pointers on what to do in Hilo. The breakfasts were incredible...the fruit platters consisted of about 10 different fruits (some local to his backyard) and there was always fresh coffee, bagels, cereal and much more.

If you are heading to Hilo, this is definitely where you want to stay!!

Room Tip: We stayed in the Hula room, which has a private entrance and is definitely large enough to accomodat...

“THE place to stay in Hilo”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Deserving of number one on Tripadvisor. We felt like we were staying with our favourite family as we were welcomed to a very comfortable and spacious home. We were able to enjoy the communal areas unencumbered - pool, jacuzzi and outdoor lounging area. Additionally, there was ample quality reading material about the region, along with the privilege for guests, that the hosts share their personal choice of bits and pieces as decorations for the rooms.
A fitting end to our adventures on the Big Island. Thank you!!!

“Par excellence”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2011

The room we had was massive and very comfortable. There's an amazingly pretty communal area outside too. Thankfully the plumbing is rock solid, because with all the fresh fruit Steve serves for breakfast, it needs to be! Only thing worth considering is that it's a few miles out of town and a car is required to get into Hilo.
