Had a wonderful, extended stay at this cute cottage!
At the “edge of town” (heading towards Volcano) - peaceful and away from all city noise. I could hear the mountain doves cooing all day and the river rushing by
In Hilo, being on the “edge of town” means a 5-10 minute drive in to restaurants, the mall, grocery stores. Or 15 minutes to my favorite swimming beach (Carlsmith Park) or “downtown Hilo”.
Thoughtfully furnished space with a beautiful 3/4 bath, a galley kitchen with dishes, double hot plate, toaster oven, microwave, full sized fridge, rice cooker and crockpot.
Comfortable queen bed in the bedroom, twin bed and couch in the living room, good amount of storage in the closet.
Airy and pretty bathroom with more space than I imagined. Marble and tile help it feel sparking clean and luxurious.
And for the price - a truly excellent value!
Note: the caretaker does smoke a couple of cigarettes ever day. As the cottage is a duplex, I could smell the cigarette smoke.
Even though I do have a sensitive nose, it was not obnoxious. Just something I was aware of.
If you have a problem with cigarettes, I thought you should be aware of this
I highly recommend this Air Bnb if you are going to spend a little time in Hilo.
Be sure to go to Volcano National Park at night (not just the day). The glow from the Volcano is beautiful.
