This was an absolutely lovely place to stay! The communication with the host and their recommendations were incredible. The house itself is spotless. The beds are comfortable and it is a quiet location. We thoroughly enjoyed the amenities and the house was simply lovely.
Such a cute place, very clean and inviting. Located in a quiet neighborhood very centrally located. Just a quick walk into town. We came for our son’s wedding at Honoli’i beach park. Would I stay her again? Yes!!!
Great place to stay right in the heart of Hilo. Whaler's Inn earns its name; part of the enjoyment of staying here is discovering all the little nautical details throughout the house. For example, the drainer basket in the kitchen sink has a little whale on it; later in the stay, I noticed that the TP dispenser was a whale's tail. Very fun, and always in good taste. Recommended.
Property and decor were so much fun and host thought of everything you could possibly need to have the perfect stay. Within walking distance of shops and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again
Great stay, exactly what we needed for our time in Hilo. The A/C is window units, which worked well. We chose to have the windows closed and use the A/C since it was very rainy at night. Beautifully decorated, attention to detail, clean, and very comfortable. Would definitely recommend!
The location was very close to activities in Hilo, and the host was very responsive and informative about restaurants and other amenities around the area. The house was clean and she even left little gifts for us ! Would recommend this cute house if you’re staying in Hilo for a few days.
We had a great experience in Hilo thanks to our wonderful stay! Easy check in process, central location, great dining recommendations. The hosts provided water fun toys for the adults and kids (snorkeling, body boards, beach towels). Only wish our stay was longer!
Great location right near the downtown area. Well stocked with everything you might need or have forgotten.The decor was super fun! Would definitely stay here again

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Communication was quick and professional. The place was spacious and as advertized. We really liked that there was a cooler, swim equipment, puzzles, and other amenities so we didnt have to fly with anything.
