Wolfgang Austria

A great place right at Hilo Bay, a few minutes walking from downtown Hilo. I had a great room consisting of a kingsize bed and a nice sitting area. The room is overlooking Hilo Bay. The waves sing you into your sleep. The room was very clean. There is a daily housekeeping. Free coffee, tea, water and snacks are available for the guests around the clock. Great breakfast, you can choose between many options. I went for the mac-pancakes, just delicious. A nice fruit plate was served as kind of a starter. Laundry is included in the price and is done for you. An absolutely great place.

Christoph Switzerland

View. Good choice at breakfast and perfect serving size.

Roy New Zealand

Delicious breakfast every morning with fruits, bacons, sausages, pastries, juice, coffee and various options from french toast to macadamina nut pancakes. Great location close to Hilo downtown, very friendly hosts, great ocean view, good value for money. Even lent binoculars and head lights when visiting volcano national park in the evening/night. will recommend anyone who wants to stay in Hilo.

Everell and Cheryl
Vintage and charming 1922 remodeled home right on the ocean and Hilo Bay. This is one of the best places to stay while visiting the Big Island of Hawaii. Oceanfront rooms are only a few feet from the ocean and you can listen to the waves while you relax and sleep. Breakfast area also has some tables that have an excellent view of Hilo Bay. Within walking distance to downtown Hilo for all your shopping and dining needs. You can see all types of boats and sometimes turtles right our your room window. Relax and listen to the ocean waves and have a excellent breakfast in the morning. Great home base while exploring the east side of the Big Island and Volcanoes National Park. Our guests love it here.
We are Everell and Cheryl Thayer and we have been married for over 20 years. We are from Michigan and Illinois and have been living in Hawaii for the past four years. We just moved over from Oahu and are loving the simple life that the Big Island offers. We pride ourselves on excellent service and have did our best to update and preserve this historical home while adding modern amenities. We know you will enjoy your stay with us.
Nice oceanfront neighborhood with only a few homes and condos along this strip of ocean fronting Hilo Bay. Within walking distance to downtown Hilo. Rainbow Falls, Akaka Falls, Liliuokalani Park and Gardens, Beach Parks, Coconut Island, Pacific Tsunami Museum, Hilo Tropical Gardens, Panaewa Rainforest Zoo and Gardens, Lyman Museum are all nearby with many more activities and things to do and see only a short drive away.
