Feel like a local!

This property made me feel like what it would feel like to be a local. It's an older Hawaiian house in a well kept, quiet neighborhood. I liked the big widows we kept open and a few mornings hearing the rain was so soothing. It was a relaxing place for my family after long days sightseeing. I appreciated the driveway and covered parking since it rained quite a bit during our stay. We had a great time here! Thank you!

Great place!

This house was a great place for our 3-day visit to Hilo and the east side of the Big Island. The location is great, and easy to find. The house had everything we needed, and gave us a good sleep and start/end to our days. We didn't spend much time there during the day, as we were out seeing the volcano, driving to the south end of the island, and looking around Hilo. We had a wonderful visit.

Very convenient Hilo house

Quiet neighborhood, with quick and convenient access to Downtown Hilo and neighboring areas. This is an older home, with some cool, unique touches. Very good airflow. The house is a little musty when closed up, but cleared out quickly with the windows. Nice yard, with a cozy table area off from the kitchen. Good kitchen for cooking in, and a nice dining area. Very comfortable for our family.

Met all my needs

A great weekend in Hilo. The home is perfectly located in Hilo. It is minutes away from the grocery store, Target, Walmart, and the mall. It is about 10 minutes away from Edith Kanaka’ole Tennis stadium, the Hilo Civic and downtown Hilo. The house is nostalgic and brought back great memories of my childhood. It is comfortable, spacious and had all the necessities. The WIFI is fast and there is a desk area, if you need to do any work while on vacation. The neighborhood was quiet. The yard is huge and fairly distanced from neighbors. Thom is a great host. He was attentive and quickly responded to any correspondence I sent out. The home was ready well before the check-in time and with the keyless entry, it was convenient.

Beautiful property close to food, schools and accessible to connecting highways. Wonderful stay!

Mahalo to Thom for being an exemplary host! The house was cozy, comfortable and exactly what we needed for a week on Hawaii Island! We absolutely loved the location with it being close to UH-Hilo, shopping and roadways. We enjoyed our time in the home and hope to utilize the property again in the near future! Mahalo, mahalo!

Amazing home in Hilo

We absolutely loved our stay in Hilo, including the excellent service offered by Thom. Communication via text was simple, straightforward, and preferred, and Thom recommended several excellent restaurants in the area, including Cafe Pesto and more. Checking in was incredibly easy and could occur at any time (we arrived later in the evening). Very close to supermarket and downtown Hilo, as well as easy access to the main road for visiting Volcanoes Park, Mauna Kea, and others. Full kitchen, as well as a nice living room area to relax in during the mornings. We would definitely stay again - highly recommended!
