My wife and I stayed at Shannon’s for 3 nights and cannot recommend it enough. We are outdoorsy types who were looking for a place in Hilo near many of the hikes and waterfalls. This location is within a 20 minute drive of all of the major attractions in Hilo, which makes it a great home base.
Shannon is an exceptional host. She is knowledgeable of the area, friendly, and super responsive. Her dog, Uhane, is a great way to start or end your day as he trots out to meet guests when they come and go.
This AirBnB is clean, cute, and covers all the bases. You will be able to reach all of the neat hikes and beaches in the Hilo area, and when you are back and relaxing, you will be surrounded by the lush greenery of tropical plants and the chirps, calls, and vocalizations of the local critters.
P.S. — those with sleeping sound sensitivities may want ear plugs, as the coqui frogs love to talk at night! But that’s not unique to Shannon’s home!
