You won’t get the resort experience here. What you will get is a clean, well- supplied cottage in a nice neighborhood with a friendly and helpful owner all at a bargain price. Also, if you like tropical vegetation, it is like living in a jungle. This was our second stay here, and we would stay again.
Diana is a wonderful host! We had everything we needed at the property. It is clean and well maintained with beautiful landscaping and convenient parking. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and proximity to family living in the area. The national park is about an hour away. Downtown Hilo, with many shops and restaurants is about a 10 minute drive. We explored several trails and beaches within a half hour drive from our location. We would enjoy staying here again!
Wonderful location near downtown Hilo and beaches, about a half hour drive to Volcanoes National Park.The host is so thoughtful and generous, she really is exceptional.The unit is equipped with everything you need and very clean.
Great location for us just minutes from our daughter’s apartment and Diana was always helpful and responsive when we reached out. Thanks for a lovely stay, Diana!
Property was a perfect distance to Hilo, quiet community but easy to get Ubers if needed. Cottage was exactly as displayed and it made our whole trip as relaxing as could be. Thank you Diana!!
My family loved our stay in the Ohana Cottage. The house is clean and the beds are really comfortable. Diana is incredibly kind and very responsive. My mom has mobility issues and Diana went out of her way to make sure she had easy access to the house. I highly recommend the Ohana Cottage! Thanks, Diana!
This property was perfect for our stay in Hilo. I love the local neighborhood and the cottage was exactly as pictures and well equipped with everything we needed. The beds were so comfortable and we felt like we were at home. Diana is the most amazing host - excellent communication, extremely accommodating and generously shared the fruits of the property with us. When I'm back in Hilo, this will be my first choice of places to stay.
Our second time staying with Diana. She is a wonderful host. Greeted us upon arrival, made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The cottage was clean and well equipped. Will definitely stay with Diana again.
Thanks to Diana and her staff for the great stay. The home we stayed at together with Diane and her people gave a true flavor of the Hawaiian life style - friendly, kind and laid back. Thanks for a great stay, we’ll be back. James & Jeong G
Lovely self-contained 2 bedroom annex. Had all the necessities. We arrived late at night, so it took a little bit of time to find the actual room (as it's not the main building), but once in, all was fine. Thank you Diana for a lovely stay.
Very usable for people with mobility issues. Ramps and railings on property helpful.
Very lush and beautiful surroundings.
Property manager very friendly and caring. Will work with you to ensure good experience.
Property is well supplied. Has a great kitchen with everything you need. Many spices and condiments are on site. A gecko will visit so don’t leave your food on the counter but he is very friendly and might let you catch him. Highly recommend the property very affordable for what you get and the host is amazing.
Diana was an amazing host! We enjoyed our stay very much and can't recommend it enough. The fresh fruit and avocados were an unexpected perk that we greatly appreciated. The place is just as described - the beds are incredibly comfortable. Absolutely no complaints. Diana also told us about some events that were happening around town that were a lot of fun. If we have the opportunity to return to the Big Island, we'll be hoping to stay here again.
Very clean, kitchen was adequately equipped, host/manager easy to contact, beds were very comfortable, nice big bathroom with great shower. Beautiful plants and trees on the property. Towels were provided for beach use. Cooled off nicely in the evenings. One ceiling fan in living area didn't work but we were given a tower fan to use. Quiet complex/area. You could see the ocean but was very far off. I loved hearing the frogs at night. I would stay again if I went back to the big Island.
This property looks a bit better in the pictures than in real life but it was nice. The host was very nice and a great communicator.
The one suggestion I have is to bring your own body wash, shampoo and conditioner because the product that was supplied seemed old and cheap and there wasn’t enough toilet paper provided for the amount of time we stayed. Other than these minor details it was good.
This is a really cute 2 bedroom, 1 bath Ohana unit. Full kitchen and refrigerator made it convenient to have breakfast before heading out for the day. Diana was amazing and we Will definitely be booking this again when we travel back to Hilo. Mahalo much for the hospitality.
What really stands out is Diana, our hostess, who was so kind, generous, and available, and obviously takes great care of the property. Her place was clean, comfortable, and accessible.
