Quiet, end of the road stay, only minutes from downtown Hilo, within earshot of waterfalls. Clean room, nice shower, excellent hosts…we will stay again when in town.

Your home is one of a kind, very peaceful and beautiful, truly a hidden gem. I love that it’s very clean and Hannah is a great host.
I stayed here for two nights while we explored Hilo and it was perfect for our use. Communication was prompt and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable. Location is is in a cool neighborhood close to a couple waterfalls and downtown Hilo
My husband and son were in town for a quick visit to the University. We had great communication and checking in was easy. This beautiful spot to stay if you are visiting.
A great getaway, secluded and peaceful. Wonderful hosts and can’t wait to visit Hilo again soon. We will recommended to all of our friends and family. Way better to stay at this property than any of the hotels in the Hilo area.
This place is amazing!!! It is exactly like the pictures and the description on the website. The host was very easy to get in touch with and responded quickly. We will definitely stay here on our next trip to Hawaii. Our only complaint is we didn’t get to stay longer this trip.
So perfectly Hawaiian, welcoming and relaxing, on top of incredibly beautiful. Convenient to all of my needs and work areas. Charming, kind hosts. Mahalo
Hannah and Tanner have a great place down a deadend, 1 lane road, in a beautiful and intimate neighborhood. The room is great, wood floors, cathedral ceiling, tiled bathroom, a/c, TV, etc. They are less than a mile from downtown Hilo. Don't be shy on asking them for advice on what's happening in the area - great communicators. Awesome place to call your base on the Hilo side.
The best part of my stay in Hilo was this property
I was not in Hilo for fun vacation purposes - it was actually quite a stressful time - but this vrbo made everything a LOT better. Beautiful, clean, quiet, air conditioned, great internet, cozy bed, a fantastic shower, and in range for doordash and instacart. Plus the property itself is gorgeously maintained and very relaxing to stroll and explore. Can't recommend it enough and I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
We absolutely loved this cozy little retreat. Communication with our host was easy and efficient. The property came exactly as advertised and was just what we were looking for. I would return one day if given the opportunity. Thanks Hannah!
Beautiful tropical getaway. Quiet & quaint. Wonderful furnishings and architecture. Close to everything Hilo. Jungle gardens are magnificent. Definitely would stay here again and again. Thank you.

The property was beautiful. The pictures don’t do it justice. It is so peaceful, quiet, and very relaxing. You feel like you are staying in the middle of nowhere even though you are in the busy city of Hilo. We stayed at two other locations on the Big Island and this cozy location was by far our favorite.
Hannah was a great host! The room was ready early so we could check-in and get in out of the rain. It was raining almost non-stop during our visit, so we were unable to enjoy the gardens although we wanted to. Very comfortable room.
Wow!! What a treat to stay here. It’s only a short drive from town, but you feel like you’re in a tropical rainforest! We slept with our windows open at night to hear the birds, frogs, and even the river! The room is gorgeous!! Highly recommend this place!!! My husband is hard to impress … and he kept saying how much he liked it.
I stay in Hilo about 6 times a year for work and this is my new go-to rental. Location is excellent, safe and cozy. Beautiful surroundings and view. Most stays I've had in Hilo included these little tiny termite looking things and there were none to be found here. The sounds of the tropics at night were a dream for good sleep. Comfortable bed. Sink being outside of the shower room took a little getting use to but was fine. Host was very sweet! Will definitely stay again and highly recommend!
Hannah and her husband were fabulous hosts and very attentive to our needs. They provided information on things to see and do, places to eat, and even gave suggestions for additional places to look for an additional night as theirs was already booked up. We forgot our drinking cups and she sent a picture to us as we were just down the road to remind us we had forgotten them. They took excellent care of us and I will definitely stay with them again when I return. Very clean, in a lovely location, and only 3 miles from the Hilo airport. Mahalo for your gracious hospitality.

Having stayed at this property in the past, we went out of our way to vacation in Hilo in order to take a much needed break from the hustle of tourism in Hawaii!!
The hosts are incredibly friendly and very accommodating of our special requests. Reed's Island is an oasis within the bayfront area of Hilo. Highly recommend this rental!
Loved my stay, would definitely come back. Host very accommodating to requests. Quiet, jungly area. Road a little narrow to get up there but never saw anyone so it was fine.
We loved our stay at Reeds island. It was drizzly during our stay so the covered parking was incredible. The space was extremely clean and welcoming. The bed is so comfortable. Hearing the soothing coquis the first night brought me so much nostalgia from when we lived on island. The hosts are super sweet and accommodating. We would stay again!
Very clean. Very nice grounds and interior. Didn’t meet owner but she immediately and always replied to our inquiries. We had a few questions as first time users of VRBO. But be aware property is located almost at end of narrow lane. Would stay there again.
