We are grateful to have spent a couple of nights in Kelly’s guest house while visiting the Hilo area. The location is perfect for discovering all that Hilo has to offer, without having to drive very far at all. We were greeted by a friendly gecko upon arrival, but very much enjoyed the cute room and amenities. We were able to use her washer and dryer, make our morning coffee, as well as borrow snorkel gear. The bathroom and shower is completely private and clean, and if you’re on the fence about the “outdoor” experience, it’s well worth it. Even in the rain, we found that the path to the bathhouse was almost completely covered and it was easy to stay dry. Her space was safe, very useful, and can feel like a glamping experience at times. We did not experience bugs, only geckos!
