We very much enjoyed our stay at the Whale House and all the more so, after we moved into Hilo and a MUCH less enjoyable and more expensive Airbnb there.

The bedroom/bath arrangement was perfect for two couples, the location lovely, and the house sparkling clean and generally very well-equipped.

Jim was one of the very best and most informative Airbnb hosts we have ever had. He gave us a wonderful welcome, provided lots of local information and useful recommendations (we especially loved knowing about the local farmer's markets Sunday morning and the very festive Wednesday night at Uncle Robert's) and terrific amenities, including bicycles and other great equipment. Further, he went way above and beyond in assisting us with some mail tasks and returning items we inadvertently left behind for which we were most grateful.

A great choice for stays in the Paradise Park/Pahoa region, convenient enough to both Hilo and Volcano.
