The managing couple was very helpful and friendly. The house had a great atmosphere and we would have liked to have stayed longer! We will definitely return! Thank you Brian and Tumani. Helgo and Girard from Germany

Beautiful property and great host.

Lovely stay! Great location, helpful staff, all good!

This historic property hovers right on the edge of Hilo Bay in a quiet, residential area. Brian and Tomomi take excellent care of the house and the guests. Tomomi provided hot breakfast a little later than usual because of our long nights at Merrie Monarch, and we received fresh towels every day. The fans kept the room comfortable. All kinds of snacks and other supplies are available for the taking. The ocean waves rolled just a few feet away from our windows. We will be back!

Super awesome host! Awesome ocean view!

The property is very well kept, and Brian and his wife were the best hosts! The location and view are amazing, the made-to-order breakfast was unmatched! What really made it a memorable family vacation for us was Brian's warm and welcoming nature. He gave us great recommendations, provided us with water gear, shared history about the area, and even helped us with our last minute laundry! Would definitely recommend everyone to stay here while in Hilo!

Our host was super friendly and helpful. He suggested some local spots to check out. They also allowed us to check in early which was nice. I can't overstate how beautiful this house is. I was immediately struck by the cleanliness and the old-feel of the house itself. Our room was beautiful and felt extremely comfortable and clean. My only regret is we only spent one night here!

Beautiful location. Listening to the waves at night was so peaceful. The staff is super friendly and helpful with suggestions. The daily breakfast was delicious. You have to get the pancakes. Everything you could ask for in a B&B and more. We will definitely stay here again if traveling to Hilo.

Clean and well kept place. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend it.

An amazing character building! It was wonderful for the hosts to meet us in the parking lot when we arrived, took our bags and gave us a tour of where everything we might need was. Breakfast was excellent. The bedroom was huge and beautiful. Our only quibble was the front room was close to the main road so quite noisy. Thanks for being great hosts and for a great stay !

Great B&B Clean, great breakfast! Managed by a lovely couple!

The house and our ocean side room was extremely clean and the ocean view from our window was amazing. The only outdoor gathering place was on the front porch or an outdoor table whereby there was constant traffic noise. The breakfast was just a normal breakfast with nothing special about it. The little fruit they provided was laid out on a flat dish and was nothing like their website pictures. I guess we were a bit spoiled from the B&B we stayed at the previous week (at the same price) whereby the breakfast and grounds were truly amazing.

Waterfront ocean view was outstanding. Waves breaking just outside our room provided a very relaxing ambiance.

Old property with aged rooms. The owners are very friendly and very pleasant. Excellent breakfast with great service.

Was such a lovely stay! Amazingly nice staff and the breakfast was delicious!

Hosts are very nice and hospitable. Excellent fresh breakfast. Very enjoyable place to stay.

Very nice early 1900's building. Not much to look like from the outside. But, don't be fooled. EXCELLENT service. Our room was small but very nicely decorated. Our room (Suite #6) had a private bathroom (it's likely all of their rooms have private bathrooms). Perfectly clean. The made-to-order breakfast was outstanding. We had a beautiful fruit plate, omelet, special macadamia nut pancakes, bacon, coffee and juice. WONDERFUL!!! Unfortunately, we had to catch an early morning flight and weren't able to enjoy a breakfast on our second (final) morning. The location of the property is literally right on the water. We listened to the waves breaking all night. They also have snacks, delicious local bananas and bottled water available 24/7. They also have beach towels, boogie boards, binoculars, etc. available for guests to use. They have literally got you covered for ANYTHING you need. Highly recommend!

Amazing hospitality. They know and have what you need before you even know that you need it (even if it's a rag to clean your hand after fixing your bike).

The room was charming with a great view of the water and the hosts really made us feel welcome! They had fabulous recommendations for local restaurants and activities which really added to our trip- we highly recommend!

This is an excellent place, the room was very clean, the breakfast was wonderful and tasty and there was bottled water, snacks and alcohol available for all guests. The only issue for us was Hilo town had lots of homeless. Walking into town from the bed and breakfast you had to walk in some bad areas. The second night we were there we just drove into town. Otherwise it is an excellent place to stay.

Beautiful house on the cliff. My room was facing ocean side, falling asleep under sounds of waves.

We liked just about everything, the rooms, the views, breakfast and folks

Everything was so nice and clean! Managers Brian and Tomomi (pardon our spelling) made that stay very special. Highly recommended. Breakfast was also awesome! They always tried to be helpful and pts of suggestions too. We enjoyed our stay! Much better than a hotel!

The rooms facing the water are fantastic

Loved this cute little stay!!! It was such a lovely and cozy place to rest after our day of exploring Hilo and the surrounding areas. The property is a home converted into a bed & breakfast with maybe a handful of rooms. Each room is very comfortable and nicely decorated with all the comforts you need for lodging, plus the lobby area has lots of extra amenities for guests. Also, the hosts were so kind and gracious. We really appreciated everything they did for us during our stay. The homemade breakfast was delicious! Thank you so much.

The home was lovely service was excellent people were very kind and it was a great experience

It was a beautiful place to stay and you couldn't get any cliser to the water. The manager Brian and his wife Timomi were marvellous along with the owner Cheryl.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hilo Bay Oceanfront B&B for 2 nights in March 2023. Brian and Tomomi were excellent hosts and guides. The breakfasts were great with lots of options (french toast, pancakes, eggs any way, bacon, fruit). We asked for suggestions for dinner and Brian suggested Jackie Rey's (we ended up going twice it was so good). We were also offered snorkeling equipment and I was able to swim with turtles and beautiful fish at the black sand beach (also recommended by Brian). The downtown area is a short walk and there are wonderful parks (Hilo beachfront park, Lili'uokalani Gardens and Coconut Island) a little further away. If we make it to Hilo again, we will stay here without question!

This is a lovely old house right on the water that has been refurbished into a six room b&b. The owners are extremely helpful and attentive. The room is lovely. Food is good. Had to wear earplugs to overcome the nighttime noises of pounding surf and tree frogs, but not much you can do about that. And they couldn’t do much about the rain, either, which poured buckets nonstop the entire three days we stayed! They have plans to expand landscaping to include a pool and hot tub, which would be very welcome. Thank you, Cheryl, Brian, et al, for a lovely stay!

The property was close to the town of Hilo but was very private and close to the shore

Lovely example of an old Hawaiian house. Beautiful location on the bay close to downtown. Our room was charmingly decorated, comfortable and clean. Staff was friendly and very accommodating.

The hosts were exceptional in their friendliness and care. I’d highly recommend a stay with the current managers! Excellent hospitality and breakfasts! The pancakes were fabulous and the care taken with our daily fruit plate was lovely!
