Ocean view, bottled-cold drinking water and breakfast are the best things about the B&B. But the room we had is a little too small for two people and the room has no air conditioning and it was hot to sleep until later night.

We were greeted by the owner who toted our luggage in then gave us a brief tour and some helpful touring suggestions. Our room was clean and comfortable with very good beds. The large balcony area adjacent to our room was lovely. Breakfast was prompt and very tasty. Overall a very nice experience.

Wonderful proximity to the real town of Hilo. We walked into town everyday and only needed to rent a car for our overnight to Kona and our circumnavigation of the island. Sound of surf and peepers at night was luxuriating

We enjoyed breakfast overlooking the ocean and surfers. Our room had a bit of an ocean view and a large private lanai on the front of the home(great spot to eat our take out sushi one night) The owners and managers thought of everything! We would recommend this place to our friends.

This is a 100 yr old (approx), lovely house that was converted into a B&B about 10 years ago. Our room had a nice lanai. The breakfast was very good and made to order. The on-site staff was helpful. The only downside was that the pool wasn't available due to volcano activity a couple days before we arrived and it hadn't been cleaned yet.
