After looking at the lack of hotels in Hilo we decided to go the AirB&B route for our Big Island adventure and Hale Kawehi was the perfect choice. Kawehi was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the area, the check in was easy and enabled us to get to our adventures right away. The house is extremely charming with a delightful eclectic mix of antiques to look at every turn. The garden is amazing with fountains, a variety of flowers and lots of different outdoor sitting areas that were lovely to have a meal outside. The house is close enough to downtown Hilo to walk to which was about a :20 walk through a good neighborhood. Kawehi provides everything guests could possibly need including earplugs for the loud frogs that are everywhere in Hilo and there were even beach towels and snorkeling gear that we borrowed one day which was perfect and saved us from renting it for a day. She even had juice in the fridge and croissants out for breakfast. The house is very comfortable and the twin beds were perfect for me and my best friend on this trip.
