Central location to all of the places we wanted to experience; very spacious and included all the items we needed to use for our short stay. We also appreciate the early check -in which made our schedule on Day 1 perfect!

This property made me feel like what it would feel like to be a local. It's an older Hawaiian house in a well kept, quiet neighborhood. I liked the big widows we kept open and a few mornings hearing the rain was so soothing. It was a relaxing place for my family after long days sightseeing. I appreciated the driveway and covered parking since it rained quite a bit during our stay. We had a great time here! Thank you!

Thom's place was in a very quiet and safe neighborhood in the Hilo area. Centrally located. The cottage was older, but well kept and clean. Great for a short stay.

The home is stylish on the pictures, although in reality the place is really old and needs maintenance
Carpets are stained and smelly, kitchen has insects defecation on almost all of then. Bathroom doesn't makes it better. The bed mattress are ok, but again bedsheets are stained and the rooms does not smell good. Everything is in bad shape and from the pictures you would not except it. We were very disappointed by this rental.

This house was a great place for our 3-day visit to Hilo and the east side of the Big Island. The location is great, and easy to find. The house had everything we needed, and gave us a good sleep and start/end to our days. We didn't spend much time there during the day, as we were out seeing the volcano, driving to the south end of the island, and looking around Hilo. We had a wonderful visit.

Loved this place. House was very clean and had everything we needed for the weekend. Neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. Loved sitting outside at night and stargazing. Would definitely rent this house again.

It was a convenient/quiet location (except for the koki frogs). It brought back memories (growing up in the area) and having friends that lived on the street.

We had a great stay in this lovely Hawaiian home on a quiet street minutes from everything we wanted to do in Hilo. The house had huge windows and a great breeze even though it was a raining several days of our visit. The beds and furniture were tasteful and comfortable with large rooms. The back yard had a wall of vegetation which made it private and so quiet. Covered parking was really appreciated in the rain. Thom was so kind and offered insight and advice about the Big Island. He was flexible about check in and check out.

When we first arrived, I wasn't sure if I would be comfortable in this house but I soon grew to love being here. We had a staycation in Hilo and loved it. My favorite moment was when a waitress at Hawaiian Style Cafe told me to bring my Tupperware next time to pack my leftovers. So I'm guessing staying in a residential area made me look and feel like a local! Also, I know that many people commended THOM for all he did to make our stay even better.

Quiet neighborhood, with quick and convenient access to Downtown Hilo and neighboring areas.
This is an older home, with some cool, unique touches. Very good airflow. The house is a little musty when closed up, but cleared out quickly with the windows. Nice yard, with a cozy table area off from the kitchen.
Good kitchen for cooking in, and a nice dining area. Very comfortable for our family.

Met all my needs
A great weekend in Hilo. The home is perfectly located in Hilo. It is minutes away from the grocery store, Target, Walmart, and the mall. It is about 10 minutes away from Edith Kanaka’ole Tennis stadium, the Hilo Civic and downtown Hilo. The house is nostalgic and brought back great memories of my childhood. It is comfortable, spacious and had all the necessities. The WIFI is fast and there is a desk area, if you need to do any work while on vacation. The neighborhood was quiet. The yard is huge and fairly distanced from neighbors.
Thom is a great host. He was attentive and quickly responded to any correspondence I sent out. The home was ready well before the check-in time and with the keyless entry, it was convenient.

Beautiful property close to food, schools and accessible to connecting highways. Wonderful stay!
Mahalo to Thom for being an exemplary host! The house was cozy, comfortable and exactly what we needed for a week on Hawaii Island! We absolutely loved the location with it being close to UH-Hilo, shopping and roadways. We enjoyed our time in the home and hope to utilize the property again in the near future! Mahalo, mahalo!

Amazing home in Hilo
We absolutely loved our stay in Hilo, including the excellent service offered by Thom. Communication via text was simple, straightforward, and preferred, and Thom recommended several excellent restaurants in the area, including Cafe Pesto and more. Checking in was incredibly easy and could occur at any time (we arrived later in the evening). Very close to supermarket and downtown Hilo, as well as easy access to the main road for visiting Volcanoes Park, Mauna Kea, and others. Full kitchen, as well as a nice living room area to relax in during the mornings. We would definitely stay again - highly recommended!

Great house and upkeep!
After a terrible glitch in our travel plans, we scrambled for a place for 18 days. We came across this hidden gem in town, close to amenities, clean, and most of all, comforting that we could talk directly to the caretaker! Thom was an excellent at answering all my "tourist-y" questions and concerns. He checked in with us in case we needed anything and when we extended our stay, he volunteered to come collect recycle and trash! The beds were comfortable, living room, and most of all, the kitchen was well equipped- even with condiments! (which we left our extras too!) I want to come come back soon!
