This is really a nice place to stay. The view outside the room is amazing! There’s no doubt that I would like to stay here again. Very nice and friendly host.

Lovely restored home. Very nice owner and sweet (I believe Japanese) lady prepared and cooked our breakfast. Lots of snacks and refreshments. We were allowed to use an area in the fridge. No amenities in room but, everything we would want or need was just outside our door. Would love to stay again!

The three of us were very comfortable in suite 1 with the little twin window bed. The sound of the ocean drowned out the songs of the coqui frogs. It was a great location to see the sights on the Hilo side. The breakfast was amazing: fresh fruit, French toast or coconut pancakes, eggs to order, and juice. They have a little cabinet with first aid items and extra sunscreen.The hosts were caring and thoughtful. Would definitely recommend this place!!!

I would just like to thank the hosts for making our stay the most hospitable one by far. It was a peaceful and restful stay where we fell asleep and woke up to the sound of waves. My wife and I appreciate the care shown to us during our stay, for allowing us to check in early after a terrible experience we had in another hotel the night before. I highly recommend this place, conveniently located within close proximity to all amenities, food options, beach and the airport.

The ocean lulls you to sleep

What a wonderful surprise this little B&B was. We truly hated to leave. The room was just spectacular being right on a little cliff above the ocean. The hosts were so accommodating and the breakfasts were very good. The room was clean and the area quiet. We can't wait to go back.

This historic property hovers right on the edge of Hilo Bay in a quiet, residential area. Brian and Tomomi take excellent care of the house and the guests. Tomomi provided hot breakfast a little later than usual because of our long nights at Merrie Monarch, and we received fresh towels every day. The fans kept the room comfortable. All kinds of snacks and other supplies are available for the taking. The ocean waves rolled just a few feet away from our windows. We will be back!

The property is very well kept, and Brian and his wife were the best hosts! The location and view are amazing, the made-to-order breakfast was unmatched! What really made it a memorable family vacation for us was Brian's warm and welcoming nature. He gave us great recommendations, provided us with water gear, shared history about the area, and even helped us with our last minute laundry! Would definitely recommend everyone to stay here while in Hilo!

Our host was super friendly and helpful. He suggested some local spots to check out. They also allowed us to check in early which was nice. I can't overstate how beautiful this house is. I was immediately struck by the cleanliness and the old-feel of the house itself. Our room was beautiful and felt extremely comfortable and clean. My only regret is we only spent one night here!

An amazing character building! It was wonderful for the hosts to meet us in the parking lot when we arrived, took our bags and gave us a tour of where everything we might need was. Breakfast was excellent. The bedroom was huge and beautiful. Our only quibble was the front room was close to the main road so quite noisy. Thanks for being great hosts and for a great stay !
