Very nice apartment

We had a really great stay! The apartment was fully equipped for 4 people and very spacious. Kelly was super available and reactive to resolve any tiny issue we had, and the location with a parking spot was great to explore the surroundings.

Wonderful apartment!

Great location- walking distance to downtown Hilo. Very nice inside- just like the photos. We immediately felt at home. Very comfortable beds. Well appointed kitchen with many extras. Screened lanai was perfect for relaxing and listening to birds in the morning. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to this beautiful island.

Hilo paradise

Thank you for having us! Me and my friends, we had a really great time. The appartment is located 15min walking distance to Hilo center, it’s very well equipped and we even got a welcome suprice (chocolate, coffee, fruit - yummy!). There is also a swimming pool you can use, if you are tired of traveling around. If I return to Hilo someday, I definitely want to stay here again:)

Awesome Stay at Hilo Apartment

My family’s experience at this Hilo apartment was enjoyable and worthwhile. First, we were fortunately able to check in a lot earlier than expected. Once we got into the apartment, we noticed some fine touches such as a prepared welcome basket for me and my family. There were many amenities for my family. The property was walking distance to the Hilo coastline and driving distance to many beach parks which was a plus. Compared to the other accommodations in town, we believe that we found a lot of value with this property and would love to stay here again. Thank you very much to our host, who was prompt with communication and helpful throughout our stay!
Response from VrboOwner on 18 Jul, 2025
Mahalo nui Rick for taking the time to leave us a stellar 5-star review and describing your trip to our beautiful town. We sure do appreciate detailing your experience as it is very helpful to other guests who are looking to stay in Hilo and values the true "aloha" spirit we try so hard to give to our guests! We strive to provide much more than a place to stay, we want our guests to experience what I used to when I was a kid growing up here. We hope to have you again in the future, thank you again!

A really nice place to stay!

After working all day, then catching a flight to Hilo late in the evening, l was exhausted when l arrived at the apartment. As soon as l entered, it felt warm and inviting. The decor was "spa like" and created an environment of comfort and calmness. There was a sweet welcome sign greeting me by my name, and a wonderful bowl filled with local "treats " that was perfect for a hungry traveller. And in the fridge was a filter pitcher full of ice cold water, and cups of Greek yogurt! There were pr I justotein shakes as well that were perfect for a quick early morning breakfast before dashing off to work! It was obvious that the Hosts put much thought and effort into creating a perfect "Home Away from Home" for the busy traveller. It was perfect for me!

Please take care of yourself and keep us in mind the next time you get assigned back to Hilo. A hui hou (until we meet again), thank you for caring for the Big Island community"

Amazing!

This apartment is such an oasis within Hilo and I can’t recommend it enough. The apartment is clean, well decorated, and stocked with kitchen supplies, linens, and anything else you may need for your stay here. The location is safe and a short walk to downtown where you can enjoy the farmers market, restaurants, and night market. It is also a very quick drive to HMC. Kelly is an incredible landlord who is very attentive. She was quick to respond to any questions I had and gave excellent food recommendations! (Definitely check out Coffee Girl for their drinks and Just Cruisin for their macadamia nut chicken salad sandwich- thank you Kelly for recommending!) The next time I come to Hilo I will definitely stay here again. If anyone is looking to stay in Hilo, this is the best place to stay due to its location, amenities, and all around luxurious tropical vibes!
Response from VrboOwner on 13 Apr, 2025
From the Owner: "A big mahalo nui loa Megan for taking the time to leave us a wonderful 5-star review! We surely enjoyed having you and were extremely thrilled to hear that the apartment satisfied your needs. We curated this thoughtful space exactly for this reason; to make our guests feel like they were "home" and comfortable. Thank you for your time here on Hawaii Island helping our community and giving your selfless service to the needs of our people. We look forward to having you come back again!"
