Great B&B

The room was nice, and they stocked your fridge with a nice breakfast for each morning. The pool is incredible - it over looked the ocean including a nice surfing beach and Hilo town. The room also had a nice private lanai area for each room overlooking the ocean.

Best place to end our honeymoon!

This property was our last stop on our two-week Hawaii Island honeymoon. The location was amazing and the quaint B&B style was exactly what we needed. We loved our morning coffee, fresh fruit, and yummy sweet bread while taking in the warm sun and ocean views. We will definitely return for anniversary trips!

Wonderful location!

The view from the big windows was spectacular. We enjoyed our breakfast on the patio every morning. The floral display around the house was stunning. We couldn't have asked for a better location. We did trips to the north and south ends of the island. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Beautiful location, lovely accommodations

I truly enjoyed my stay at this location. I was amazed by the view and really enjoyed being directly on the ocean. The pool and hot tub were welcome, and I was able to see the humpbacks in the bay. Also, a wonderful view of the sunrise from here. The fresh fruit and breakfast accommodations were a nice touch.

Fantastic way to kick off our honeymoon! Got to sleep right on the water with great ocean views and sounds. Enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Location was perfect for our plans- not too far from hikes, and super close to downtown Hilo.

My husband and I felt as if we were the only ones on the property. We had the pool and hot tub all to ourselves. Swimming in the pool with panoramic views was stunning and the daily breakfast was a bonus. I highly recommend this place for couples.
