It was a beautiful place to stay and you couldn't get any cliser to the water. The manager Brian and his wife Timomi were marvellous along with the owner Cheryl.

Duncan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property is very well kept, and Brian and his wife were the best hosts! The location and view are amazing, the made-to-order breakfast was unmatched! What really made it a memorable family vacation for us was Brian's warm and welcoming nature. He gave us great recommendations, provided us with water gear, shared history about the area, and even helped us with our last minute laundry! Would definitely recommend everyone to stay here while in Hilo!

Lovely restored home. Very nice owner and sweet (I believe Japanese) lady prepared and cooked our breakfast. Lots of snacks and refreshments. We were allowed to use an area in the fridge. No amenities in room but, everything we would want or need was just outside our door. Would love to stay again!
Ellen Jennifer, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful room and extremely friendly staff. Will definitely stay here again! The room was very clean and The bathroom spotless. It was very homey and I would much rather stay here and support local business than large chain hotels. It was a little more expensive but worth every penny. We will definitely return when we come back in the area.

10/10 Exceptional

I would just like to thank the hosts for making our stay the most hospitable one by far. It was a peaceful and restful stay where we fell asleep and woke up to the sound of waves. My wife and I appreciate the care shown to us during our stay, for allowing us to check in early after a terrible experience we had in another hotel the night before. I highly recommend this place, conveniently located within close proximity to all amenities, food options, beach and the airport.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice experience. Property is right on the water with waves crashing on the lava wall on which the property is located. Great ocean breeze all day long keeping the room cool all the time. Good breakfast with plenty of choices. Very helpful and friendly host.
Debashis, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our host was super friendly and helpful. He suggested some local spots to check out. They also allowed us to check in early which was nice. I can't overstate how beautiful this house is. I was immediately struck by the cleanliness and the old-feel of the house itself. Our room was beautiful and felt extremely comfortable and clean. My only regret is we only spent one night here!

Joshua, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The three of us were very comfortable in suite 1 with the little twin window bed. The sound of the ocean drowned out the songs of the coqui frogs. It was a great location to see the sights on the Hilo side. The breakfast was amazing: fresh fruit, French toast or coconut pancakes, eggs to order, and juice. They have a little cabinet with first aid items and extra sunscreen.The hosts were caring and thoughtful. Would definitely recommend this place!!!
Cyndy, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

I don't know why other people gave such a great review. The room is very basic and overpriced. No tv and no air conditioning. The room was very warm and had to sleep with the fans running on high. The breakfast was ok and that was the best part of the stay. I would not stay here again. Very overpriced.

Perfect B&B on Hilo Bay

Very nice early 1900's building. Not much to look like from the outside. But, don't be fooled. EXCELLENT service. Our room was small but very nicely decorated. Our room (Suite #6) had a private bathroom (it's likely all of their rooms have private bathrooms). Perfectly clean. The made-to-order breakfast was outstanding. We had a beautiful fruit plate, omelet, special macadamia nut pancakes, bacon, coffee and juice. WONDERFUL!!! Unfortunately, we had to catch an early morning flight and weren't able to enjoy a breakfast on our second (final) morning. The location of the property is literally right on the water. We listened to the waves breaking all night. They also have snacks, delicious local bananas and bottled water available 24/7. They also have beach towels, boogie boards, binoculars, etc. available for guests to use. They have literally got you covered for ANYTHING you need. Highly recommend!

1泊だけでしたが、ゆっくり過ごせました。 ほんとに疲れていたので、外にも出ず、夕食もホテルにあったカップラーメンとお庭で取れたバナナをいただきましたが、バナナがすごく美味しかったです。 朝食はフルーツとパンケーキとオムレツとベーコンをチョイスしました。どれも美味しくて、大満足でした。 お部屋も歴史を感じられて、他では味わえない経験になりました。

A gem on Hilo Bay

We were looking for a place to stay for one night in the Hilo area, when I came across Hilo Bay Oceanfront B&B. We chose a room that was truly oceanfront, with panoramic views of Hilo Bay and amazing ocean breezes. The service was great, and there were lots of extras available at all times, like snacks, coffee & tea, and bottled water. The made-to-order breakfast at 6:30 am was icing on the cake. We will definitely return!

絶景と居心地の良いホテル

窓の下がすぐ海で、波の音が大きく聞こえます。ダウンタウンも歩ける距離で、絶好のロケーションです。築100年の建物ですが、不便はなく、大型ホテルでは味わえない歴史を感じられ、また、住んでいるような心地よさです。トモミさんのおもてなしも心地よかったです。ありがとうございました！
YUMIKO, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We chose an ocean front room. It’s large, with a cozy dark wood vibe, and has a perfect reading nook in earshot of the surf. Parking is a good size and the host offers nice details like water and other beverages.
