An amazing place to stay when in Hilo! Quaint, quiet, easy to find, and accessible to most and all of the community. Loved hearing the koi pond at night as well as the frogs. The ceiling fan is great, the bed is super comfortable, and having the tv with all the streaming platforms was also nice for winding down in the evening. Thanks so much for being an awesome host!

Breakfast Over Private Waterfall - 1 mile to Hilo

NicoleRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Quaint and super peaceful place! Exactly as listed, the surroundings were absolutely lovely, birds chirping, and frogs at night. Screened room was so nice to sit in and enjoy nature, as well as outdoor lanai. The breakfast was lovely- things put in the fridge to eat as you like, facilities to prepare the food in the outdoor shared kitchen. Easy check in and parking was fine. Would definitely stay here again!

Osorio Plantation House

SondraRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This was one of my favorite AirBnb experiences. First, the host, Jay, was so communicative and accomodating. From checking in with us after check in to checkout, he was one of the best host I have had the pleasure to deal with. I would rent again just because of how good Jay's communication was. He gave local recommendations, allowed us to park our car pass check out, etc. As for the actual rental. It was clean, perfect for the four women staying. Nice large kitchen, small living room when we cozied up and talked for hours. The area was quiet, with a very big parking lot. The rooms were clean, and shampoo/conditioner/body wash provided for showers. Finally, the location was unbeatable. Everything was walkable. Want mochi? Two ladies kitchen was around the corner. Downtown Hilo was less than a 10 minute walk. All in all, one of my favorite rentals and I plan to stay here again on my next trip to Hilo.

A private balcony is visible, featuring a round table with a colorful design and two chairs. The sliding glass doors provide a view into a well-lit bedroom with a spacious bed. Lush greenery surrounds a calm waterway that adds to the tranquil setting.

Charming apartment with pool/pond Gardens Hilo

EdithRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We truly enjoyed our stay at Qin's place in Hilo. It was a lovely spot for our night there. Although there wasn't any air conditioning, the fans made it manageable and we felt comfortable overall. The location was incredibly convenient for exploring the area, with easy access to shopping and dining. Qin’s co-host, Mandy, was absolutely fantastic, ensuring that our check-in and check-out experience went smoothly. Every aspect of the space felt unique and special, and we genuinely look forward to returning when we come back to Hilo.
