The room was very small, with only couple of hangers which was totally not enough to unpack two adults. We had to put luggage on the bed every time we wanted to open it. I’ve been in hotels with small rooms before and it is definitely possible to plan the space better. The shower curtain was dirty. Also the common space at the gazebo. The his is definitely space for improvement

The property is located in residential area close to beautiful cliffs (no beaches around). Very nice for watching sunrise. It is very quiet. The bed and pillows were comfy, the parking is spacious and laundry room was very useful. Lack of AC is not a problem because 1. This part of island is quite chilly, 2. In case it’s a warmer day there is a fan which is totally enough. Each window has a mosquito net so we could safely open the window and enjoy a fresh air. In general the room was clean.

If I had to say something not so idea about this place, then No AC, but the ocean breeze always cooling off in the natural way.

Location, quiet and the value.

There was no AC - which I love because we slept with the patio door open and fell asleep and woke up to bird and ocean sounds - but if you don’t like that be aware. We didn’t use the kitchen or laundry so cant speak to that either. Felt a little far and dark when we were coming back in the evening as its all the way at the end of HPP (but thats where the ocean is so cant have one without the other). Hard to find at first, felt like I was driving into someones house - my two cents is that host should put up a cute sign on the gazebo.

Property is right by the water, theres an unpaved road you can take that goes right towards the rift zone and the main way in is a 10minute drive from the main highway - easy access to volcano. Room was clean, and had microwave, mini fridge, coffee station. Bathroom had shampoo and bodywash, so bring your own conditioner if you need that. The room was hotel style but the property felt like a private airbnb - best of both worlds. We had the patio too and it was nice to watch the sky change color in the morning sunrise. Overall very cute, perfect for adventuring and felt private. Host was very responsive and helpful with dinner recommendations.

The location is a bit far from the Hilo town, but I would count it as a pro. The surroundings were so good and pleasant. There are unique birds all around, especially after rain. The view of the gardens and nearby oceans is very soothing. The hosts also recommended a few beautiful spots nearby. They were also very helpful with our questions regarding tours.

No T.V. Too tight of a space.

no TV or radio

Andy was very helpful with suggestions on what to do around the area. A quiet retreat at the end of the day after exploring to relax. A short walk to the cliffs to watch the waves crash in. Clean, comfortable and affordable all in one! This was our second time staying with Andy, he makes everything great. Have a problem - Andy will fix it!! Maholo, hope to see you again in the future

No tv or a/c, though neither were huge issues since we were only staying one night. It was also kind of hard to find the property at night.

Great host, clean and comfortable room, quiet neighborhood, and we were able to book at the last minute.

The room is small and not really for hanging out, but we stayed in a balcony room and the balcony was large and relatively private. You will hear the people in the rooms next to you.

Very clean, if cozy. Andy, the host, is very helpful and accommodating when needed but definitely allows you your privacy. The breeze is so refreshing and you can hear the ocean waves.

The distance from stores.

Just like the comfort of home. Fully stocked kitchen, bathroom and rooms. Bed was super comfortable, washer and dryer for free to use. Parking, eight next to the ocean. Couldn’t ask for a better place tow to stay. Host is very responsive. Would definitely stay again.

We needed a last-minute booking, and Andy responded quickly. He was actually a life saver for us as it was late afternoon when we discovered our original booking was unsafe. Andy greeted us and got us situated. The Inn is in a residential area with beautiful homes. We felt very safe and slept with the patio door open. There is a cute balcony and an ocen breeze that eliminates the need for an airconditoner. We felt the location was perfect for exploring the Hilo side of the island. There is also a beautiful ruggedshoreline area to explore, which is only a 5 minute walkaway.The room was spotless, and the bed was very comfortable . We were happy with every aspect of our stay. Highly recommend 👌

Andy was very helpful with great tips about the area and the check in was very smooth, even though we arrived quite late (10 pm). The room was as advertised, very clean and comfortable bed. The bathroom was very well maintained and spacious. Loved the location, it was perfect for us to be immersed in nature close to the ocean. Pro tip: rent a car to move around it’s the best way to see the island!

Is very nice very wonderful and I was quite placed with the property and the owners that I would stay there again and again if I’m traveling to the other side of the island, thank you for a beautiful visit Serena

We didn’t pay attention to the room size we reserved which was smaller than the others. No TV which should be a huge plus but not for my husband.

Great location for walking the coast. Right next to Maku’u beach, a favorite and special place for locals.

We wish there was access to a barbecue.

Exactly what we needed to wait out a storm between nights we were camping. Amazing views nearby.

Stayed in February 2025

I didn't realize there would be no cooking available

It was close to cliff walking at Makuu Point

Stayed in January 2025

We did find some crumbs that looked like were just missed in the last clean up, and there was a dirty wine glass in the cupboard (dried red wine in it). Minor in my opinion because the rest of the place was very clean and well taken care of.

The property is great and 100% what I want in a vacation stay for a family of 5. The location might seem a little "out there" from Hilo, but you're a short drive some groceries, coffee, restaurants, etc. that are in Kea'au. It is a great jumping off place for getting to Volcanoes National Park. The walk to Maku'u point is easy and provides a spectacular view.

Great and relaxing location, close to ocean and at night you hear the sound of birds.

Stayed in January 2025

None of the outside doors and sliders would lock; kitchen could have used some oil for cooking, containers for leftovers, electric kettle top was broken so unusable; bathtub drain clogged in one bathroom; had to search for a broom and dustpan — would have been nice to have those in the unit.

Location was great, patios were fenced in so safe for toddlers, ample parking, nice level backyard for kids to play, roomy, comfortable beds, very clean.

The room is clean and the location also good. It recommends a suitable place to live while traveling in Big Island.
