Darling home
We are a group of 6 seniors who just needed a one-night stay to break up the trip from Kailua-Kona to Hilo. The home was so cute that we wished we were able to stay longer. Doesn't look like much from the outside but when you walk in it's a very pleasant surprise of cuteness and cleanliness. Would highly recommend.

Graduation weekend
My Ohana came over from Kona and Oahu to celebrate my UH Hilo college graduate son This past weekend. All of our celebrating had to be done indoors as Hilo was raining, and hoy did this place for the bill! Living room had so many comfortable seating areas, including the bar and a humongous dining room table, and with the open concept we could all be together. Kitchen had all the amenities including coffee! We also took advantage of the gas grill. The location was awesome, grocery store on the same block, and also within walking distance of charming downtown Hilo with its museums, art, clothing, and knick-knack stores and wonderful restaurants and bars. Ice ponds are close by and a favorite among locals. Two ladies kitchen also a block away. IYKYK

Great Stay in Hilo
This is a very well-appointed 3-BR house near the water in Hilo. Communication with the host was easy and the check-in process was simple. The house is clean and quite spacious with a huge living room with dining area. The bedrooms have window-unit air conditioners. The rest of the house is cooled by fans. Even with the windows open, it was warm in the evenings but cooled down in the mornings. The kitchen is stocked with basic appliances and cookware. If you plan on cooking, plan on bringing all of your own spices, sugar, creamer, etc... The house is on a relatively quiet street just a few blocks from some of the shopping areas and farmers market. It's more urban and less touristy than other areas of the island but we felt safe the entire time.

Short but lovely visit
We had booked only one night here on the Hilo side of the island, but had such a great experience that I’d easily stay longer in the future. The house was lovely, great interior decor, everything we could need, lots of little touches that just made it feel like home. Getting in and communicating was super easy and we had a wonderful time. Thanks so much for sharing your home!

Great place to visit and stay
The Outrigger house was exactly as described. Checkin and checkout process was easy. House is in a great location from grocery store, restaurants, and shops. House was well equipped, clean, and in a quiet location (except for the frogs at night but it was like white noise after a while). Plenty of things to do in Hilo, we wish we would have stayed a few more days.

Great property!
This house was spacious and nicely decorated plus there were yummy treats and coffee left for us! Beds were comfortable and we all slept well. AC units in rooms were perfect and the weather was mild enough to just use the ceiling fans in the living room.
We picked up some hot sauce and spice mixes at the farmers market and local shops for cooking and the basics (salt, pepper, olive oil, and soy sauce were provided).
All in all, we really enjoyed our stay!

Great landing spot in Hilo
We really enjoyed this house for our stay in Hilo. Clean, comfortable, and well appointed. Downtown Hilo is a little gritty, and it extends a bit to this neighborhood, but we never felt unsafe and appreciated the ability to take a break from the car and walk to restaurants and the farmers market. Recommend Ola Brew and Richardson Beach Park highly for those coming to the area. The hosts were responsive, accommodated our requests, and had the house very nicely set up for our stay. The kitchen is well stocked, allowing us to make many breakfasts, lunches, and a big family dinner while we were there. Highly recommend if you want to be walkable to restaurants and shopping in Hilo.
