Escape to your private oasis perched on a cliff with a jungle view

11 out of 10 Beautiful scenery, amazing neighborhood, comfortable bed, comfy couch, smart TV, great shower, peaceful as heck. Easy to find and easy to park. Truly 11/10. Mahalo from Honolulu.

Everything was perfect, except for a strong smell Amazing location that is close to town but feels removed. The room is very private. It is part of the rest of the house, but doesn't feel like it. The space was perfect in that it was comfortable and provided us everything we needed. It was clean, the only problem was a strong odor. We noticed it when we walked in every time and it seemed to come and go, at times stronger than other times. We were thinking it may be coming from the bathroom drain and since the bathroom walls are open up top it made the whole room smell. Hopefully it is something that can be fixed because we would stay there again if it weren't for the smell.

What a wonderful spot. Birds and frogs provide an amazing soundtrack!

Serene, meticulous, lovely Extremely clean, beautifully decorated, very comfortable, we walked to downtown Hilo from the house. The hosts are extremely kind and helpful. They lent us umbrellas on a rainy night, were very responsive, and made us feel very comfortable in their home. I would definitely recommend!!!!

Superb place to stay We were in town for the weekend and this was the perfect place to stay. It is close to town and the Bayfront, but set apart so you can return to a relaxing place to rest. At night the Coqui Frogs are singing, and I loved it listening to them all, but in your room, it isn’t as noticeable as outside. The instructions for check in are very easy to follow with photos. Check out is as simple as a text. And if you need anything, they are very responsive and helpful! If you need a small studio to stay, this is it. The photos are exactly what you will see and the inclusions described are what you will find. It is nice, sufficiently furnished and functional, it thought the bed was comfy and the view of the jungle was nice - and it was clean and well cared for. I really don’t have any negative things to say. The ONLY “warning” would be that the bathroom walls are open at the top so anyone in the room can hear you in there and it has a barn door with a gap in it so a person can see the toilet through it if they enter the room or walk to it. But if you are by the bed or couch, the bathroom door is private enough (visually). The fact that the bathroom wall did not go to the top allowed us to chat as we took a shower to plan our day, so it did not bother us. The shower is also nice and big. And if the gap in the door really makes you uncomfortable, a beach towel would fix the problem. Thank you for a wonderful stay and being so accommodating. We had a great time!

Fantastic Hilo Apartment The apartment is so lovely and Hannah is the most thoughtful hosts imaginable. Even discussing the import of orchids to the US with me, and putting me in direcct touch with her brother who does it often. Every detail is thoughtful, and it was cleaner than just about any room (hotel or homestay) I have ever been in. Lovely decor, great location near downtown Hilo, while being quiet and peaceful except for the sound of the river, the rain (it is Hilo) and the frogs. Thank you Hannah and I will return.
