Quick trip from Honolulu
This was our first time staying in Hilo. With so many 5 star reviews this place was an easy choice. It’s priced right and the place was incredibly clean and had everything you need. For a family with little kids, we loved having twin beds and queen/king beds in the same room. The kids felt more at ease but everyone still had bed space. It was a beautiful thing!

Great house
Great house , in great location to explore the whole island. Thirty minute drive to beach but we were on Hawaii to sightsee and not sit at beach all day. Owners lived behind house so was easy to get in touch with them, but we had complete privacy.

Family vacation to Hilo area
My family of four had a great stay at this rental. It is about 25 minutes south of Hilo and a reasonable distance to beaches, Volcanoes National Park, the zoo, and other tourist destinations. My children enjoyed the large space and air conditioning.

Exceeded expectations
I traveled with my daughter, a friend of mine and her 2 daughters. We absolutely loved the house, very clean, open large living area, 3 bedrooms with total 5 beds (just as stated). So much was included, towels for showers and beach, beach equipment, washer and dryer, even had the “home” touches, Kuerig with coffee, breakfast options, condiments,, shampoos and soaps. I had a question and texted the owner and he quickly responded, communication was always there. It was just the best visit and a no hassle beautiful home to stay at was the cherry on top. Highly recommend!

Amazing home away from home!
We had 4 adults and 4 young children in our party & I was so impressed with this property. It truly felt like home away from home. Communication with the property managers, Montana & Bruce, was easy & they were very responsive both before our trip and during. Location is in a quiet neighborhood. There’s restaurants, gas, & a grocery store about 15 minutes away. Everything was so clean and well-maintained, and there were thoughtful touches & so many amenities provided throughout the home. The fridge was stocked with lots of condiments and breakfast items, plus some drinks to start us off. There was a nice selection of coffee and tea, plus sugar and nondairy creamer. As Hawaii locals we appreciated that shoyu, and a rice cooker (and rice) were provided. We loved the screened patio area right outside the kitchen. It was a perfect spot to sit in the morning and enjoy coffee. WiFi access was awesome as our cell service wasn’t always that great, and the kids were able to watch their fave Netflix shows on the smart tv or their tablets when we were just chilling for the night. We had several devices using the WiFi without any slowdown in service. Overall this property exceeded our expectations & my kids are already asking when we can come back! We will definitely recommend this property to our friends visiting Hilo & book again ourselves in the future. Thank you Montana & Bruce!

Another fantastic stay
We have stayed at this home 4 times now. Every single time, the house is spotless, bottled water and basics like eggs, pancake mix, rice, coffee pods and condiments are available for us to use. AC in every room makes for a comfortable stay, and there are also fans that keep the air nicely circulating. We noticed the mattresses were all new and very comfortable! The property is beautiful. My favorite thing each morning is to sit outside in the screened in lanai with my coffee and listen/watch all the beautiful birds that love to hang out. Add to all that how kind, helpful and friendly Bruce and Montana always are and you can be sure we will be back. Book early because we notice this is a popular place to stay (and we can see why!)

Perfect volcano base camp
Such a relaxing place to be. I wish we had more time to spend here. If you want a place for peace and quiet and convenient to Hilo and the volcano, this is it. Spacious house, clean, and lots of nice little surprises for you. We loved it.
