Since this property address is hard to pin down on GPS (it is behind another road front property), it would be helpful to receive a message with a photo of the roadside surfboard that marks the driveway.The host (and manager) response was consistently excellent.

You won’t get the resort experience here. What you will get is a clean, well- supplied cottage in a nice neighborhood with a friendly and helpful owner all at a bargain price. Also, if you like tropical vegetation, it is like living in a jungle. This was our second stay here, and we would stay again.

This property looks a bit better in the pictures than in real life but it was nice. The host was very nice and a great communicator. The one suggestion I have is to bring your own body wash, shampoo and conditioner because the product that was supplied seemed old and cheap and there wasn’t enough toilet paper provided for the amount of time we stayed. Other than these minor details it was good.

When we got there the first thing was that there were multiple properties. The first one was gated so we assumed it was not that one. The second one had a keypad (to which host gave us code) so we assumed that was ours. We went in but we were confused with the amount of rooms so we texted the host to which multiple hours passed by and she did not respond. We put our luggage in the rooms we thought were ours and hours later she called us while we were out (and it was late) to tell us we were in the wrong house and that she removed our luggage from the rooms (which we had locked) and made us hand over the key to the rooms to other people who were staying there. After that she guided us to the house which we were actually supposed to stay at and asked us where we were from to then say “do people from there not know how to read?”. (RUDE) She also asked us how we got into the other house (SHE GAVE US THE CODE????). She was honestly super rude and made us feel very uncomfortable and scared of doing anything thinking that she was gonna get mad. She was also always there!! As well as other people next door. And one of the rooms was next to a creepy trailer so there was always a man that could easily look into that rooms window if open.

Diana is a wonderful host! We had everything we needed at the property. It is clean and well maintained with beautiful landscaping and convenient parking. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and proximity to family living in the area. The national park is about an hour away. Downtown Hilo, with many shops and restaurants is about a 10 minute drive. We explored several trails and beaches within a half hour drive from our location. We would enjoy staying here again!

Lovely cottage and wonderful host!

My family loved our stay in the Ohana Cottage. The house is clean and the beds are really comfortable. Diana is incredibly kind and very responsive. My mom has mobility issues and Diana went out of her way to make sure she had easy access to the house. I highly recommend the Ohana Cottage! Thanks, Diana!

Great location | Amazing Host

This property was perfect for our stay in Hilo. I love the local neighborhood and the cottage was exactly as pictures and well equipped with everything we needed. The beds were so comfortable and we felt like we were at home. Diana is the most amazing host - excellent communication, extremely accommodating and generously shared the fruits of the property with us. When I'm back in Hilo, this will be my first choice of places to stay.
