The perfect AirBnB for a trip to Hilo! Steve and Su’s property and the suite itself is beautiful. The bathroom is a spa-like experience. The pool and hot tub are great spots to chill after busy days full of activities. It’s lovely to have breakfast on your private lanai, or in the larger common lanai. Be prepared for bird sounds at night. (I didn’t mind them). We did have a hard time with the bed, it’s pretty creaky. Despite that I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Steve was such a great host, fun to talk to, helpful, and saved the day by providing a Hawaiian bee sting remedy - a topical application of shredded green papaya. Worked miracles, thank you!
Some tips from our Hilo adventures:
You are a five minute walk from a great beach (surf beach) and a quick drive downtown. We highly recommend Pineapple Island Cafe, Tina’s Garden Cafe (Thai, HUGE portions), and Kula Shave Ice! Treat yourself to a magical experience and check out Shipman Beach in Puna. Low tide preferable, and it’s a 5 mile round trip hike through the jungle (probably muddy). Crystal clear calm water in a protected bay, and sea turtles! Botanical Garden is closed due to covid, but there’s a public trail down to the beach right before you get to the garden.
