Perfect home base with gracious host

Jane's place is a beautiful home right in town but somehow totally secluded. She was there to greet us when we arrived and had great advice for getting the most out of the time we had here, and there was delicious homemade banana bread!

Best experience

Great accomodations, great location. For our brief stay in Hilo we couldn't have had a better experience. just wish we'd planned for more time on the big island. This Sweet & Cozy Studio was just what we needed. Central to all of our plans and adventures. Will definitely consider staying there again.

Perfect Studio

This was an amazing find! The unit was spotless and so comfortable with a nice bed, cute kitchenette and nice bathroom. If staying in Hilo for a few days, I recommend staying here. The hostess is so helpful and nice! Next time we are in Hilo, we’ll definitely be staying here again.

Very simple & peaceful getaway

From the frogs at night to the location of the property, you’re close to things that you need (albeit you need a car) but it’s a gorgeous place and a very quaint studio. It was clean, spacious, and quiet. I fully appreciated the property manager and her welcome and warm personality.

Perfection!

This place was a find, a gem! I'm from Hilo, born and raised, moved to Maui in 92. Came home to visit family and show my partner where I'm from. This quant little studio was perfect. It has everything you need and more! Location was awesome, and nights were cool and breezy! Large covered patio around a garden setting with a table and chairs and a hammock, spent the mornings there enjoying coffee and the sunshine and the yard! Highly recommend this place! Jane is awesome to communicate with and even had banana bread for us upon arrival to the unit! Fresh anthurium bouquets in the unit as well! This is my go to place now when I visit Hilo my home! Mahalo Jane!!! Aloha, Callie & Jon

Convenient studio for 1-2 persons

I stayed 2 nights at this lovely studio hosted by Jane while doing a marathon on Big Island. It’s located in a quiet neighborhood, and has a small kitchen for simple cooking that meets my needs. Jane is very friendly and gave me some extra time at checkout.

Fantastic relaxing studio with beautiful lanai

Jane is a great host. Her studio unit is spacious and she provided everything we wanted for our stay. This is our second time here. It was so peaceful and quiet. The lanai is huge with a hammock, dining table, lounge chair and even an exercise area. The banana bread and oranges off her trees were a nice bonus.

Excellent quiet, peaceful get-away

This cozy studio is not close to downtown, but we found that there really is not a "downtown happening" area in Hilo and we had a car so it was no issue. The place was clean, quiet and so peaceful. The breeze coming in the open windows at night was delightful. Jane's garden and landscaping around the house was so beautiful. It was perfect for us to come "home" to after exploring during the day. We HIGHLY recommend this place as your home in Hilo.

About the host

Hosted by jane k miller

Host profile image
I have just returned to my home in Hawaii after teaching internationally for several years. One of the things I enjoy most about hosting is meeting people from around the globe. As a traveler, I want to offer fellow travelers a nice place to call home while they explore the beauty and diversity of the Big Island. I have called the Island of Hawai'i my home for almost 50 years, and I love to "talk story" about Hawaiian geography, culture, and local Big Island spots to explore.
