Great property with lots of space. The screened porch was the most used space. Lots of fruit trees on the property. Only a short distance to downtown with lots of shops and restaurant options.

This house worked perfectly for our extended family vacation. The huge kitchen was great for many cooks working together and the grill and outdoor seating area was a valuable addition which we enjoyed immensely. We would stay here again. Sunrise and coffee on the lanai was a special quiet time for my husband and me before the rest of the crew got up. We loved this spot.

Very relaxing! Close to town. But feels like your living the Hawaiian life in the country! Loved pickings and enjoying fresh fruit. House was clean. love loved the architecture of the authentic Hawaiian home! Some updates needed in master bath and kitchen. But overall we really enjoyed our stay! Thanks

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cute older home overlooking Hilo Bay. The house was a little stuffy when we first arrived, but we opened all the windows and never had to think about it again. The yard was great for the kids to run around, and the large kitchen was perfect for cooking some meals at the house. The pots and pans could use a refresh though. Overall, it was a great place to stay on the calmer side of the island.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My Hilo Home is a plantation house in good condition, in a private quiet area yet just a 1/2 mile or so across the river from downtown Hilo. We enjoyed the yard, the porch, the views over the bay, and having a full kitchen.

Worth Going Back to. I will miss the view from the kitchen. So very little time! Next time, if there will be a next time, a 7 night stay!

We loved staying at this lovely vacation home. It was clean, comfortable and cozy! So much Hilo charm. Huge space, especially loved the wrap around screened-in porch. We hope to return in the future.

It was a lovely house to spend nearly 2 weeks in. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here. We picked lots of fruit from the property, lounged on the lanai, and had fun watching the planes and geckos eating insects. The large yard was very nice to have young children use up some energy. The proximity to the downtown and beaches, while still being 'out of town,' was excellent.

Beautiful property with amazing views. Noting more wonderful to come home up after a day of biking, swimming or exploring than the screened in veranda with views of Hilo Bay.

The house is truly remarkable - a historic gem that doesn't disappoint. The large kitchen has a wonderful view and you can spend a lot of time on the Lanai and soak in both old and new. Great place with lots of room and tons and charm!

We loved the location and the price. Our favourite part of the house was the screened in porch. We would definitely stay here again if we were staying in the area. We loved pats from the very friendly kitty cat.

It was out of the way, but close to town and right up the road were waterfalls. Very peaceful and clean.
