Breakfast fruit plate had tiny pieces of fruit. The second morning I asked for papaya and got a beautifully ripe half. Delicious! Would also recommend more places to hang up towels in the bathroom.

Breakfast was really good, but fruit plate with tiny pieces was way too small. We appreciated the fridge with snacks and wine. Room was very clean and comfortable.

Tomomi was a wonderful hostess & made the most wonderful delicious breakfast. She had our laundry done while we explored was folded or hanging to dry for us when we returned. A nice extra! She was so pleasant and kind. There was no AC but the ocean breeze & fans made it comfortable. I will miss sleeping to the sound of the crashing waves! Don't think you could get any closer to them😁 We hope to bring the kids back!

Everything was perfect, the pictures really don’t do it justice. If I HAD to say something negative…I would say the house does make some old house noises at night but you wouldn’t hear them unless you’re suffering from jetlag.

The location was great, it’s close to the centre but you’re far away that you can also enjoy the silence of the sea. I also LOVED the fact you can see sunrise from the dining room 😍😍 and everyone working there are really friendly and helpful!

I was concerned about no air conditioning in the house, but the cool ocean breezes were enough to keep you comfortable and the sound of the waves lulled you to sleep.

The house was lovely and our room was small, but very comfortable. The manager and his wife were friendly and gracious. We received us a quick history of the house which we found fascinating; and I highly recommend the pancakes and tofu for breakfast. Thiis place is close to down town and within walking distance of many great places to dine and shop.

I cannot think of a single thing.

The view was incredible. The breakfast delicious, the staff very friendly as were the owners. The shuttle from and to the airport was a bonus. As were the snacks available 24/7.

Our room was billed to accommodate four and had two double beds; but there were no closets and we lacked room to access four pieces of luggage. As we were only staying for one night, it was not a serious issue; however, if we were there for several nights, it would have been cramped for four folks.

The setting of the facility was exceptional, on a cliff overlooking the shore with the sound of breaking waves. The dining area gave a beautiful look out into the ocean. The house has wonderful charm from a past era. The property has numerous fruit bearing trees which add to the ambience. The breakfast exhibited local fruit and a number of dining choices. (Get the macadamia coconut pancakes.) Plenty of parking and only a short walk into downtown Hilo. Innkeep was easy to communicate with and readily available.

The long narrow hallway that extends straight back from the front door and divides all of the bedrooms, leads to the breakfast dining area. While the view of the bay is nice, the eating area is narrow and cramped, with four small tables secured to the wall sitting only two people each. Knowing the traditional design of big old homes built for large families, the original sitting room and dining room which probably overlooked the bay must have been converted into another bedroom, leaving this small awkward area for breakfast. Outside of breakfast time, it is not a very inviting area to chat with any of the guest which is one of the benefits of staying at a B&B, so everyone just stayed in their rooms. It would also be nice if they improved the landscaping of the front yard which was mostly unkempt and not an inviting view from the wonderful large front porch.

This is a classic B&B, great old home built in the early 1920’s right on a cliff overlooking Hilo Bay. Friendly hosts, wonderful views of the bay, great breakfast, comfortable well-appointed bedroom and plenty of easy parking. The B&B is just outside of downtown which is very walkable or very short drive. Overall, I highly recommend this B&B as a great place to stay while visiting Hilo.

Cozy and homey! The staff were friendly and accommodating. It was a perfect stay.

Without having air conditioning- it can get a bit warm and humid in the room with the fans. It was facing the ocean and hearing the waves crashing all night, we were able to overlook not having AC.

We had an amazing time at the property - celebrating our honeymoon!!! Tomomi was truly a gem, with a kind attitude and helped us with where to go and what to do. She even drew us a map on two different occasions!!! She is such an asset to the business. We wish we could stay here longer!

There is no A/C but it does cool down comfortably at night.

Great location in Hilo overlooking the ocean. Staff was great and the breakfast was so fun!

Nothing we liked everthing about our stay.

Great stay. Check in was easy. Room was clean and bed comfortable. Breakfast was really good. Food was fresh and well prepared. The fresh fruit was good. Healthy way to start our day. We had everything we needed. Felt like we were in our home. Everell and Cheryl welcomed us and were helpful with information on the Big Island. We would stay here again if we visit East side of the island.

No TV .The location made up for itself with all amenities, adventures, and places to eat.

Shirley was the best check-in advisor. The room book and the room upgrade was fantastic 👌

Although on the water, it was located in an area that was not conducive to walking to town.

The room was great, with a nice view and lovely sitting area. Owners were very nice.

Nothing really negative to say.

Five nights. Elegant old home. Breakfast was excellent!! Nice assorted fruit tray. Eggs any style, pancakes, French Toast, thick crispy bacon, assortment of juices. Good coffee. Hosts Brian and Tomomi were very nice and helpful. Our room was right over the water with a gorgeous view, and spotless. Great location. 2 min drive to downtown Hilo with a ton of dining options.

The location is excellent — right next to the Hilo town. The hosts are very friendly and nice as well. It was easy to arrange airport pickup/drop-off. The beach gears are convenient for snorkeling/sunbathing on nearby beaches.
