Rating: 9/10 The condominium was very clean, modern appliances, well stocked and a great location. Very good budget value. Nice pool. Parking lot was a little sketchy looking. The place is close to downtown and the Hilo airport. Almost next door is Wailuku River State Park and close to Lili’oukalani Gardens - they make for scenic runs or hikes. Vivian was very quick to respond.

Room is located in a working class apartment/condo complex, with a nice pool and good quality furnishings. It's not fancy, but is centrally located to Hilo and makes a great "base of operations" at a reasonable price. I recommend it for people who want to see the Big Island on a budget.

The host was great. Id question the value of price for location. The parking lot and general was sketchy. This unit has upgraded finishes, countertops, and fixtures. But it had an odd and unpleasant smell. If you were at a hotel you would probably have requested a different room. But not an option in vrbo land.

Cozy unit with a good location. 40 minutes from volcano national park. Close to downtown Hilo. Be sure to try Hawaiian Style Cafe around the corner and Pineapples. Ohana Ranch is a great place for quad rides & some Hawaiian history. Vivian was a great host. Always available to answer any questions.

Our family of three stayed here for a few days while visiting Hilo. I was very impressed with how clean and nice-looking our rental unit was.The grounds were beautiful with ponds, jungle, and wildlife. My daughter enjoyed the ducks that walked around and even named them. I appreciated the laundry access in the building as well. All the directions given by the host were easy to understand and follow regarding rules and check-in/check-out. Overall we had a pleasant stay, and would 100% reccommend!

The host, Vivian, was very welcoming and promptly responsive. The amenities are as stated. Her studio is clean and comfortable - with the pool right outside the back patio. Very nice! I failed to notice her place has no air conditioning, and it was hot during the days I was there. She has multiple fans available to use, but be advised. Also, condo living overall means you are sharing space with many others, so lots of activity all around. This is not necessarily a bad thing - just something to note.

Vivian was a super responsive and helpful host and the location of the condo was perfect. It has walking/running access to a great trail that goes around the pond and bridges to the oceanfront. Great restaurants (Manono center!) and grocery stores all close. We had 3 adults and felt right at home. Kitchen had everything we needed. Onsite laundry was a big plus. The lanai was perfect. We miss the cats and chickens already.

Vivian's place was perfect for our 2 night stay. Follow her directions for finding the apartment building. Check-in was a breeze. The place was clean. There were 2 floor fans and a ceiling fan to keep us cool. A nice sized patio. Everything we needed in the kitchen. And it was spacious enough that the 2 of us didn't feel cramped. The neighborhood felt safe and we had no worries about that. Easy free parking right in front of the building. Lots of restaurants and coffee shops within 5-10 minutes. Great snorkeling nearby!

Enjoyed easy access to the apt. From the parking to the apt. And the beauty and natural surroundings. Unlike a tourist resort.Yet close to the bustle of town.

Great little place, perfect location near Hilo.

Owner gave detail info finding the place and getting into the property. The studio had a comfortable bed with a large TV. Nice kitchen in the room and is stocked with enough items needed. There is a litle outlite room with a table for computer work also as you enter the bathroom. There is a little table on the porch, nice to sit outside. Large double slidibg doors with screens for fresh air. Owner had a book with great info for restaurants and activities. There is a larger pool. The complex is very quiet with lush plants and trees all around. We loved staying here, close to Hilo and 35 mins to Volcano National Park and 2 hours to Kona. Would higly recomend staying here. Shower good.

Lovely

Great value, comfortable cozy clean room with nice furniture. It did get a little warm/humid at times for me even with the portable cooling unit running, but that didn't bother my wife. My level of comfort is usually too cold for her. Pool was very nice, very close, and very useful for when I needed to cool off a bit. The area outside of the room/building felt a little sketchy when we first arrived, but there was nothing to be worried about. Anyone we ran into was very kind and friendly. Follow her instructions on how to find the correct building. Google maps sends you to the wrong side of the block. Overall a lovely stay without complaints.

Vivian was an excellent host. We came to Hawaii to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. It was the perfect place to stay . The apartment was close to many attractions I have food allergies and it was close to Island Naturals Market so I could eat vegan and organic. The kitchen had basic cooking essentials. We did get lost a couple of time but the people on the Big Island are so kind and helpful. We had a fun vacation. Thank you Vivian for a wonderful stay.😊♥️
