Room was clean and comfortable. Loved the clean bathroom. Great shower with never ending hot water.The oversized mini refrigerator was great to have keep my bag of ice for 2 day as I we used it in our cooler during the day and refreshed it in the freezer when we returned. Kept food & drinks chilled. Hot coffee pot was well used for making hot coffee and tea.Room could use a few more hooks to hand clothes and towel bars. Bed was too soft. Would prefer a firmer mattress

The studio was perfect for the two of us for a few nights on our 2-week vacation and the small refrigerator came in handy! We also appreciated the dishware and paper towels! The A/C was fantastic too!! The studio was tastefully decorated, and we appreciated little things like shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the shower and coffee/tea available to use. This was wonderful after flying for 10 hours and then driving for 2 hours to reach Hilo!! With such a short stay, it was great that we didn’t need to fully unpack!!We specifically booked this studio to take advantage of areas north of Hilo. We then booked another studio VRBO south of Hilo, but that did not turn out so great. Really made me appreciate how great this studio stay was for our brief stay on that side of the island (we specifically excluded other rentals that did not have A/C)!! Although we didn’t need to connect with the host during our stay, prior to this, they were very responsive. If we are in the area again for a short stay, we’d definitely book again.

The room was clean and very cute. The host was very responsive and helpful and made me feel welcome. This place was better than I expected and featured a beautiful bathroom and garden area that was like a little sanctuary. Highly recommend.

Nice little place

We didn’t spend too much time in the unit—mostly used it as a home base and place to sleep, but it was excellent for our purpose. Clean and well stocked, and the directions/instructions were clear. Nice area, lots of hiking and things to see nearby (short drives). The beach is harder to get to than a quick glance at the map might indicate, but it’s a nice walk. Check out Mr Ed’s Bakery

East Coast lodging

Everything was very modern and clean. It would be nice if there was a kitchen sink or basin in which to wash our dishes. A simple coffee machine would work better than a Keurig machine as there was only one pod per day and we enjoy a few cups of coffee throughout the day. A few extra utensils would also be handy as we like to cook our meals.

Quiet neighborhood Studio

Wonderful location away from the main towns but easily accessible to main highways that get to everywhere. Clean, quiet. Small so basically for either one person or a couple who likes to be close. It was just what we needed. A quiet place to go to after an active day of exploring the island. Owner very responsive to questions.
