Hope this review is helpful(with all the details I can remember)

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed 2 nights.Pros:Nice view, can watch sunrise in the room.Close enough to Hilo town.Clean and safe.They provide fruit everyday plus some eggs and cupcakes in the fridge.Every room gets an assigned parking spot.Cons:There are a lot of stairs to get to the room, not convenient if you have a lot of luggage to carry in and out. It's a bit weird that we had to walk past all the other guests' patio area. And then we needed to go through the common area/room to get to our room. It's the only room that doesn't have a sliding door to the outside. They put up dividers in the outdoor area so every room has its own "patio" with a table and chairs where you can eat breakfast and watch sunrise. However, we didn't have direct access to our patio area and had to carry our food and go through the common room and then go to the other side of the divider once we are outside. Just not as convenient.The granola bar they provided was stale.If you are sensitive to sound while sleeping, this may not be for you. You can hear the sound of waves(I find it soothing) and birds chirping all night.Parking is a bit tight and it's on a slope.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at the Bamboo room. Nice private room with wonderful beach views. The rental is just few minutes from Hilo. We stayed 4 nights to explore the east side of the island. Great for stars gazing, we enjoyed the sunrise from our bed. We Enjoy our wonderful breakfast while watching the surfers at Honolii beach wich is about 0.8 miles from the hotel. Breakfast is simple but delicious 😋 we looked forward for what we would get next morning. Even though they provide coffee and a coffee maker We took a quick ride to hilo to get our coffee and trythe local coffee shops drve back to our room and enjoy our fresh fruit and muffins. The rental was tiny different from the pictures I wish they have kept the colorful walls instead of the plain white walls. Not a deal breaker but the color walls made so much cozier and tropical lookingThe room really needs a full size sure all your female guests will appreciate. Did not use the pool but we did enjoy the pool area and relaxed enjoying the views. If we or when we are back to the big island we definitely staying here again!

Comfortable stay withgreat view

We enjoyed our stay here very much. Just a few recommendations: instructions to the room could have been a bit clearer. Luckily, we got here before dark. Outdoor lighting along the path would help, too! The breakfast fruit and muffins were a very nice touch. Kekela was very nice, too!

Wonderful location!

The view from the big windows was spectacular. We enjoyed our breakfast on the patio every morning. The floral display around the house was stunning. We couldn't have asked for a better location. We did trips to the north and south ends of the island. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

OK - nice view, but many mosquitos and a bit lonely

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The room was very nice and clean. And we had a wounderful view on the sea, including sunrise. We stayed for four nights. But this was a bit too long, 2 nights would have been enough.The breakfast became every day less: no more yoghurts, no more oat meals.The pool was not working in time. At night we did not want to sit outside, because of the mosquitos (but this was just our problem ;-))

Beautiful Babymoon Stay

This is the first b&b that we've actually gotten the breakfast part of the b! The Bamboo room was well equipped and quiet at the end of the house (no one passing by our porch). The breakfasts were such a nice touch with super fresh fruit, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, and muffins. I love that it was provided because it allowed us to sit out and watch the sunrise with our coffee (also in room with fresh milk). It was so nice to really enjoy the lanai without having to leave. The pool was so nice in the heat and my husband loved watching the surfers down at the beach. Screens allowed us to open the windows and listen to the ocean and animals at night. Truly a wonderful stay close to Hilo, Volcano National Park, and other east island points of interest. Thank you for sharing your home!

Perfect Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My sister and I spent four nights here during our 2-week vacation in Hawaii. Of the four places that we stayed, this proved to be our favorite. Being an end room, the Bamboo provides exceptional privacy along with the beautiful sunrise view. The singing of the coqui frogs only added to the unique experience. We enjoyed having a leisurely breakfast on the lanai, each day a different flavor of muffin and blend of fresh fruit. The property and beautiful landscaping are well maintained and clean. We appreciated the daily cleaning of dishes, trash removal, and delivery of the next morning's breakfast. The location was perfect for our activities along the northern coast, yet an easy drive into Hilo and points beyond. While parking is a bit tricky, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Great B&B

The room was nice, and they stocked your fridge with a nice breakfast for each morning. The pool is incredible - it over looked the ocean including a nice surfing beach and Hilo town. The room also had a nice private lanai area for each room overlooking the ocean.

Perfect for us!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay! The lanai looking out over the ocean was exactly what I wanted. We enjoyed getting to watch the surfers down below. The daily breakfast was perfect and the coffee was delicious. We had the property to ourselves so it was very quiet and peaceful. My husband and I both agreed we will come back if we get the chance!

Hilo Tour

We are Hawaii island residents and we played tourist for a long weekend. The location was great and close to all the museums, the zoo and dinners. The sound of the ocean was very nice and the unit had a great view. We even saw a cruise ship come into port from our unit. We ate at HBC and Cafe Pesto. We also had a nice drink at The Hidden Nene (speakeasy in town). The bed was very comfortable and the continental breakfast consisting of muffins, fruit and boiled eggs were great! The only downside is parking. The space is very restricted so I would suggest a car or small SUV. We have a full sized van that was tight.

7 wonderful nights in the Bamboo Room

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Bamboo room was fantastically comfortable for us and very pretty. The king bed was super comfortable. The shower is very roomy with great water pressure. The absence of a/c was not an issue with the ocean breeze and ceiling fan. The continental breakfast was just right for us and the fresh fruit was great. We watched the whales from the terrace while we breakfasted every morning. The gardens are lovely. The location was very convenient for Hilo. Our only cons were that the pool is not heated and was a little cool and the door to the Common Room sticks a little.

We love hardboiled eggs; however, these were impossible to peel. I recommend waiting for the water to boil before adding the eggs to make them easier to peel.
