This place was perfect for my husband and I during our recent trip to Hilo! Hannah made the arrival instructions extremely easy. The place was exactly like the photos. It was clean and has everything we needed - coffee, towels, shampoo/conditioner. It was easy getting in and out of the neighborhood. Hannah was friendly and welcoming. We would definitely stay here if we are in the area again!

Central location in Hilo in a cute residential neighborhood next to a stream. It reminds me of my childhood in Honolulu. And honestly much nicer and more comfortable than nearby hotels in my opinion. The car is just a few steps away from your door which I love since I just want to get in and get out when traveling. Hannah was very kind to send communication to coordinate check in time. I definitely plan to stay at this room again in the future if Hannah continues to host it. Enjoy your time in Hilo!!

The apartment is so lovely and Hannah is the most thoughtful hosts imaginable. Even discussing the import of orchids to the US with me, and putting me in direcct touch with her brother who does it often. Every detail is thoughtful, and it was cleaner than just about any room (hotel or homestay) I have ever been in. Lovely decor, great location near downtown Hilo, while being quiet and peaceful except for the sound of the river, the rain (it is Hilo) and the frogs. Thank you Hannah and I will return.

This little place was perfect for what we needed. Everything was in working order. Great hideaway spot with all the foliage in the back yard. Well done!

We were in town for the weekend and this was the perfect place to stay. It is close to town and the Bayfront, but set apart so you can return to a relaxing place to rest. At night the Coqui Frogs are singing, and I loved it listening to them all, but in your room, it isn’t as noticeable as outside. The instructions for check in are very easy to follow with photos. Check out is as simple as a text. And if you need anything, they are very responsive and helpful! If you need a small studio to stay, this is it. The photos are exactly what you will see and the inclusions described are what you will find. It is nice, sufficiently furnished and functional, it thought the bed was comfy and the view of the jungle was nice - and it was clean and well cared for. I really don’t have any negative things to say. The ONLY “warning” would be that the bathroom walls are open at the top so anyone in the room can hear you in there and it has a barn door with a gap in it so a person can see the toilet through it if they enter the room or walk to it. But if you are by the bed or couch, the bathroom door is private enough (visually). The fact that the bathroom wall did not go to the top allowed us to chat as we took a shower to plan our day, so it did not bother us. The shower is also nice and big. And if the gap in the door really makes you uncomfortable, a beach towel would fix the problem. Thank you for a wonderful stay and being so accommodating. We had a great time!

A little oasis on a quaint street with stunning forest views. We loved our stay here! Listening to the birds & the frogs sing added to the ambiance. Just minutes from downtown Hilo. Our host was gracious, helpful & we enjoyed our stay at this lovely location!

Great escape into the jungle. We loved the sounds of the frogs and crickets. On clear nights, the stars were beautiful. Linens and towers were clean. The room was spacious and lots of areas for storage. We had a small hiccup during check-in but our host was quick to remedy the issue and reimbursed us for one night. Communication with the host was quick! We would love to stay again.

We loved this spot. We’ve looked at renting for years and hadn’t, but finally did, and it was a joy. The sounds of she jingle in the evening were great, and we had what we needed to enjoy the 3 days we were there.

Our hosts Hannah and Tanner were very welcoming and helpful. Giving us tips about where to go for hiking or having a nice diner. The studio is perfectly located to go to the beach or town center of Hilo. On top of that, you will have the rainforest right in front of your door. Communication was fast and easy-going. We would definitely visit again!

Hannah and Tanner were perfect hosts. Everything listed on VRBO was spot on. The atmosphere was zen-like and our room was perfect. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely visit this shangri-la on our next trip over to Hilo.

This was perfect for us. Just outside town in a beautiful foresty area, with a comfortable bed and amazing shower. The only concerns are about the frogs and the bathroom (unrelated, neither of which bothered us personally but are important to know). The bathroom has walls but the ceiling is open to the rest of the space and sounds are amplified. Not great to share the space with a casual acquaintance or business associate… Also the frogs at night are quite noisy, so if you’re a sensitive sleeper it would be better to have ear plugs. But Hannah was super responsive and helpful, we had a great stay!

The space was amazing, very modern finishes and clean. Hannah was very welcoming and helpful. Would highly HIGHLY recommend this space if you're staying in Hilo for any amount of time. Just note that the bathroom is open-air to the rest of the studio if you're staying with someone.

Great location in a quiet neighborhood, but only minutes from Hilo beaches, restaurants, and shops. Communication with our hosts was excellent. Clean, comfortable accommodations with the rain forest in our backyard. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect place to stay. Very comfortable bed, nice little coach and even free laundry machines right around the corner of our building. Great communication from the host.
We did buy our breakfast food and having the toaster was great but a little tight on space limits spreading our and few shelves for extras. Beautiful decorating and everything seemed very new. Glad we stayed there.

We loved staying in this little bungalow in the jungle! It seems very recently built or renovated, and the property was spotless. It was a quick commute into the “downtown” of Hilo. Easy to find and excellent communication from owner Hannah. The only thing I could see someone wanting to know is that there is no separate ceiling for the bathroom (ie, minimal barrier from sounds, smells, etc inside the restroom) which could make for some awkward situations.
That said, there was ready access to everything we needed, including extra linens and small appliances. Free Wi-Fi and parking. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
