Beautiful Cottage
We loved this little hidden cottage! It’s up away from Hilo town but close enough for shopping and restaurants. The cottage is set back from the main house so it’s very private. The garden is beautiful, serene & tropical. The decor is like a hotel cottage and the owner added touches to create an inviting stay. We’d stay again!

Perfect for us
We wanted someplace quiet and private, and this beautifully appointed cottage was absolutely perfect. It's tiny but had everything we could want, including its own lush garden with birdsong every morning and frog song every evening. The owner was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. If we come back to Hilo, we will definitely stay here again!

Brilliant amenities, super clean and friendly host
The cottage is in a quiet neighborhood. You need a car to get there but its not far from downtown. The garden in front of the cottage is an impeccable oasis of tropical plants and birds, frogs and a koi pond. The inside matches the images from website and surpassed my expectations. The host is kind and gracious. You have your own parking spot and if you are returning at night there are lights on the path to the cottage. I can not wait to come back and stay there.

Wonderful place to stay with flowers everywhere!
The short version is everything was perfect. Jean was an amazing host, very polite and answered all our questions. Good directions on how to get to the property and she met us there for check-in. She has an amazing yard with many different types of flowering plants. The backyard is filled with birds, and we enjoyed seeing doves and java sparrows every morning. The rental is very clean and in excellent shape, with everything needed to make it a home away from home during our vacation. The location was perfect, allowing just a short drive to downtown Hilo and the shoreline, but away from all the city noise and busy streets at the end of the day. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, with only the sound of the frogs at night. Highly recommended and we would consider staying there again.

This is a small cottage next to a private residence in a residential neighborhood. Very cute, with a private entrance. Jean was there to meet us when we arrived and explained to us where everything was. The cottage is thoughtfully equipped and perfect for our needs. It’s a quick drive to shopping and restaurants as well as downtown Hilo. Very convenient if you have a car.

The cottage is the perfect size and it’s lovely. The garden is amazing and beautiful to wander around in. The only thing I would say that is a downfall, is the birds. They are loud in the mornings.

Excellent stay in a beautiful private cottage in residential neighborhood
This is a beautiful cottage tucked away in a residential neighborhood. It comes with all the amenities needed for a short stay. Bed is comfortable, lots of towels, excellent kitchen amenities, and also a well designed living room and outdoor deck to relax or eat. It is designed for privacy. Excellent landscaping with a koi pond, fern groves and many flowering plants. Greeted every morning with the chirping of birds. The area is well lit and the owner provides all the information you need for a comfortable stay.

Home away from home
I was traveling on business and this cottage had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The grounds are beautiful with loads of tropical flowers and a koi pond and the cottage itself is very well maintained, very clean and relaxing. There is no air conditioning if that is important to you, but the area is cool and has a nice breeze blowing which keeps the place cool. I would definitely return to this location for future trips.

Jean thoughtfully created a very warm, efficient small space with great charm and comfort for the guest. The kitchen was well stocked. the bed was comfortable and the location was convenient for exploring the area. Her "welcome package" of various food items to get you settled in was most appreciated. We enjoyed out stay.

Cute and cozy cottage
This quaint little cottage sits just outside of the busy downtown Hilo area which makes it very quiet and relaxing. Jean was the perfect host. She checked me in quickly and then basically left me alone to enjoy my stay. She provided a picnic basket full of food upon my arrival which was very thoughtful. Also, after discovering that I had forgotten my toothbrush I was delighted to find that a travel toothbrush was waiting for me in the bathroom for just such an emergency! You can’t go wrong with this place.

A comfortable home away from home.
The owner was extremely helpful and friendly, a welcome basket was provided that contained local food and essentials along with fresh fruit which was very thoughtful. It's not too far out of Hilo town and we had a hire car so it was a convenient drive to the volcano and other attractions. This tiny house is a lovely place to stay surrounded by a beautiful garden with lots of local birds and a resident turtle.
