Private and Cozy
Beautiful private spot. Easy to get to, but away from most traffic. It is apparent the hosts enjoy people and making them comfortable. Lovely paintings done by the hostess. Most of the grounds are gorgeous gardens with beautiful evening lights. This is the cleanest place we stayed on the entire island. Pride is taken in every way. Highly recommend

Loved Kepi’s place!
Easy check in, warm welcome and beautiful garden/jungle view from our upstairs studio room. Kepi and Jim are sweet, loving people and very accommodating! We wished we could have stayed here for our entire time on the big island! They have 4 rental units, so I encourage you to reach out to them for other options if the unit you are considering is not available for your entire stay…..we wish we had! Kepi and Jim provided great recommendations on spots to see (and were able to re-direct us from an outdated guide book……several places we planned on exporting were closed due to lava flows) great restaurants and helped us plan our trip to achieve the wishes of our vacation. We hope to return to this beautiful accommodation someday in the near future!

Peaceful and serene
Location is perfect for those who want to be outside of the city and still easily access attractions/cultural landmarks. Breakfast on the patio was a treat. The garden was fun to explore. Definitely a place to consider when visiting Hilo.

Beautiful staycation in the rain forest
My husband and I went to Hilo for my birthday celebration and we enjoyed our stay. The room had everything we needed and accommodations were very comfortable. We met Kepi and had a lovely chat with her.

The place and the host were both spot on. Kepi was warm and emitted Aloha spirit during the entire stay. The only two things we thought were negative was having the toilet in
