So close to it all…necessities, restaurants, shopping, waterfalls, all the things; felt like everything was a 10 minute trip at most. We felt right at home. Communication from host was concise, consistent, and ahead of schedule. We were given pertinent details and pictures of the location so we could find it easily after a long flight (we were exhausted) as well as recommendations on where to go. Love this place! Also…it’s adorable. ##### Emily C.

It had everything we needed, even olive oil and coffee, a great washer and dryer, and amazing decor. We spent a lot of time marvelling at all the whale-themed items and choosing our favourites. The beds are very soft, our preference would be for firmer ones, but otherwise perfect for us. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nohonani L. 10 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Merrie Monarch Special!

So we originally booked a room at a resort in Hilo, but decided to change and book this instead because we decided having two bedrooms was a better option. And we were glad that we did! This was much better than a small hotel room and had everything we needed. The best part, lots of places are within walking distance. For food, I recommend the Coco Cantina (2 min walk), it had an amazing $12 lunch special (M-F). The farmer's market is a must. And for groceries, the Sack N Save (owned by Foodland), is a great option. Would absolutely stay here again. ##### Ryan H.

It is done in a lovely high-end style - more than I expected! The hidden gem was the bathroom with a huge, welcoming shower. The place got hot during the mid-day, but we were always out at the beaches or other sights and the fans and windows were plenty for us as the evening rolled around. The team was responsive when we had a few questions and super helpful. I can't imagine a stay going much better. ##### Ken S. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Happy T. 5 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hilo Getaway A comfortable, well-equipped house close to the center of Hilo. The kitchen had everything we needed for meal preparation. The absence of air conditioning was not a problem. Open windows did allow for some street noise, but the house made us feel like we were part of the neighborhood. ##### Happy T. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Patrick S. 20 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Whaler's Inn Very nice house in Hilo neighborhood. My wife said it was "adorable". Two blocks from the local grocery store and within walking distance of other shops and stores. The kitchen was well equipped with utensils and dinnerware. If you plan on using the gas grill you'll need the small, detachable gas cannister like Coleman makes. The coqui frogs are loud at night, so if you haven't been to the Big Island before, be prepared. They actually have a jar of ear plugs for guests. ##### Patrick S. Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim G., Falls Church, Virginia USA 29 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect home base for Big Island East-side adventures The cottage was charming and everything we needed for our 2 night stay. We wanted to have a relaxed visit to Volcanoes National Park (i.e. not driving to/from Kona side of island all in one day), visit a couple of waterfalls and do a zip line tour, and Whaler’s Inn was perfect. Fun decor, a well equipped kitchen, and comfortable bedding. The extra fans were very appreciated both to drown out the sounds of nature (birds/frogs) at night/early morning and to cool down the house. The house is centrally located with respect to Hilo - everything we needed was within a mile. If we come back to the area, we wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again. ##### Kim G. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bob F. 12 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice spot in Hilo We were pleased with the accommodations and would consider staying there again. The location is good and neighborhood is okay. Seems like a lot of young renters. The interior of the apartment is clean and VERY functional. The beds were fine. Hilo is rainy and muggy so there is time involved with windows open, intermittent windows closed, and running the ceiling fans is essential for comfort! AC would have been nice as the insect and street noise was significant but open windows were necessary for nighttime comfort. ##### Bob F. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ellen B. 31 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Extremely well thought out and stocked rental I've never seen a place as wonderfully stocked as this kitchen was! It was a lovely rental for our few days in Hilo. Large and full of eco-friendly cleaning and storage options. Given that it was December and it wasn't really possible to ever close all of the windows, , I wish there had been some form of space heater, but that's about the only negative. Be prepared for frogs and if you have specific earplug needs -bring them! I'd happily stay here again if I find myself back in Hilo. ##### Ellen B.
