This old house turned out to be a very good fit for out group of 8. It’s an old home, as are most in Hilo, but the place and its location grew on us during our 5 night stay. No A/C, but it was not really needed during our stay in December. All the rooms have ceiling fans and screened windows. In addition, there are several portable standing fans that can be used in any room. The property owner provides many extra portable fans for use wherever needed. There are two bathrooms, one on the main floor with a large shower, toilet and two sinks. The basement bathroom has a very large shower room with two shower heads, one toilet and on sink. The basement also has a separate private bedroom (full size bed) and a very large bonus room with lots of comfortable couches (at least one is a pull out sofa bed) The laundry room is also in the basement with one extra large top loader and two large dryers. The three upstairs bedrooms all have queen sized beds. Amenities are generous! Although the home is located on a very busy street, the street behind it are quiet and are excellent for morning walks. Although we were not overwhelmed with the home and location initially, it felt like home by the end of our stay.
Appreciated all the Hawaiiana details ...loved the original floors & furnishing! Extremely clean & accommodated our ohana of 9 for Tutu's Celebration of Life.So very convenient located in upper Hilo.Zarbaugh ohana
The overall stay was great. Fans were provided throughout the home was awesome. Basement area was huge. Loved the bathrooms lots of towels. Just a few minor issues. Blinds in bedrooms were difficult to use. At times the traffic was loud. I definitely would recommend this place to family and friends.
Convenient and economical for a worktrip to UH Hilo.
This home was great for a family. Large comfortable rooms and plenty of room for family activities. The kitchen had everything we needed. The location was near sites we wanted to visit. Although we didn’t have air conditioning, we were comfortable most of the time, except the first night. We arrived at night and the windows had been closed. It was uncomfortably warm late into the night. That night we also heard traffic noise— honking horns on the street in front of us. We enjoyed out time at this house and would recommend it.
Very nice accommodations for a party of 8. Very convenient location and necessities that made our stay carefree!Kindly note that we bought 2 small fans. Could not use the overhead fan in our bedroom as it was dusty, but no big deal!!
The house is located on a major street (for Hilo), so you do get some minor traffic noise; however, it was an excellent home-base for my family. It is conveniently located to anywhere you needed to visit in Hilo town. It was a quiet neighborhood (across the prison) and the side street (where the carport is located) had very little traffic and it was easy to come & go. Finding the light in the carport at night was a bit of a challenge and the the walkway to the front door was dark, (motion sensor lighting for the carport & walkway would have been good), the little solar path lights did not turn on. The house itself is a typical old-fashioned Hilo single wall house that has been well maintained with upgraded bathrooms and a renovated downstairs was more space than we needed. The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable with enough towels, extra pillows and blankets. It was everything we needed for our stay, it was very spacious enough for 7 adults (even though the dining table only fits 6, though we made it work). We knew there wasn't any air conditioners, so thank you for the multiple fans. Though, really, the house didn't get that hot and the cross-breeze was enough to keep everyone cool. The piano was an extra enjoyable treat for my brother to play. We would stay here again. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy the home.
Large spacious house just minutes from downtown. There was plenty of room for my whole family to spread out. Kitchen was fully supplied with all the kitchen ware you could possible need making cooking super easy. The large downstairs den was a perfect hangout spot for teenagers.

Our first time stay in Hilo was fantastic. We had stay in hotel in Hilo before but this house made our Hilo experience much more fun. The house had classic Hawaii vibe, felt welcome and comfortable for my family of 5. The location was perfect. 20 min walk or 5 min drive to Hilo town. We had a lot of fun during our stay. The house was really clean and maintained. Thank you!

My extended family loved staying in this cute house. Everything was just as advertised. The location in Hilo was perfect for exploring the area, and everyone had plenty of space. My niece was able to practice her piano lessons! Would definitely stay here again.

What a lovely surprise! This house was perfect for our large family, traveling with three generations to Hilo. We normally stay on the Kona side but decided to fly into Hilo from Honolulu and this house is maybe 15 minutes from the airport. The home is in town and convenient to the historic downtown area. We did not know there was so many places to eat and the farmers market is open everyday. Rainbow falls is a must see and the scenic drive up the Hamakua coast is so beautiful. After spending all day out it was very relaxing to have separate spaces in the house for everyone to do their own thing. There are two living rooms with one upstairs and the other downstairs. Well stocked with all essentials and convenient for stay, definitely worth checking out when you’re in Hilo.

This vacation house is really nice and big! Upstairs is the main house with bedrooms, kitchen and living room. Then the downstairs has a giant rec room with lots of sofas and a big TV. It was a perfect spot for our kids to hang out together while the adults could be more relaxed upstairs. We had 4 adults and 3 kids for a week and everyone loved this place. We hope to visit Hilo again and stay here!
