I had a wonderful stay here. The bed was comfortable, the place was beautiful, a lovely outdoor shower, with the sound from the little waterfall stature outside (I don't know... read more what to call it, sorry!). Megan showed me in and was very helpful and responsive. The location was perfect for what I wanted to do on the East side of the island. So many rainforests and other beautiful adventures. I hope I am able to get back there in the not so distant future! Thank you again, Megan!

Megan’s place is perfect for a couple nights in Hilo. It is walking distance to coffee and food downtown and a great location to explore the area. It was clean... read more and cozy. We loved the outdoor shower and coffee. A perfect stay overall. Highly recommend!

This place is beautiful and well located in downtown Hilo. Super comfortable with lots of space to stretch out and relax and it’s surrounded by a garden oasis. We didn’t... read more get to meet Megan as she was out of town but Jasper gave us great local tips and even dropped off a french press with all the fixings on our first morning there. Could not recommend this place more. We hope to stay here again sometime.

Megan and Jasper have created a serene and beautiful oasis…in the middle of downtown Hilo. Flowers, foliage, kois, and fountains galore. This is definitely a hidden gem where we will... read more return to.

Nice little place. Very clean. Hosts are very nice and very accommodating. It is on a busy-ish road so there may be some road noise in the AM.

The whole process was perfect! From check in to check out. The apartment was very clean and had its own entrance to downtown Hilo. The shower is also really cool.... read more Megan and the team displays a very positive attitude and willingness to help. Megan gave me some really cool suggestions to visit. Was only there a day, but checked out a few suggestions and was beyond satisfied. Will be on this side of the Island again soon, and hope I get to stay here again!

This bnb was the perfect place in Hilo. Very close to shopping and restaurants and the bay. The space was colorful and quaint - felt like home. Megan was so... read more accommodating. Thank you for a wonderful stay and we hope to be back in the future!

This little spot was ideal for staying in Hilo. It is centralized with fabulous restaurants and shopping all within walking distance. The property was cute and very zen,... read more with little frogs that chirped at night. I highly suggest ear plugs or the white-noise app to drown out any unwanted noises at night. The building we stayed in was backed up to a public area. At 1-2am, there were garbage(?) trucks that came to collect, beeping and rumbling and making a racket. Then there were random people talking at around 3am as well. The rain at night could also get pretty loud, but that was considered white noise and not as bad.
The hanging bed was comfortable but if you don't want it to swing too much, just prop up the sitting chairs around it. There aren't too many power outlets and no wifi in the room. So good thing we had an unlimited data plan. The hosts Jasper and Megan were friendly and on the property if you need assistance. Overall, I would highly recommend and would stay there again.

Megan’s place was nicely decorated and well equipped (kudos for the stove). It is ideally placed in Hilo still very quiet and peaceful thanks to the fountains. Megan was extremely... read more nice to us and we really had a great time there so I would recommend the place for all that.
Two small issues with the post though: (1) it is listed with parking on premises but you actually need to park in the street (2) there’s an extra fee you need to pay, it is technically written in the listing, however easy to miss and it virtually make the place look more affordable.

Prime location! Everything is just as pictured. Megan is so kind and really made our stay unforgettable. Can’t wait to go back!

As other travelers have noted, this cute spot is a great location but not for a light sleeper. It’s open to the outdoors. It’s also very close to a busy(ish)... read more road so there are normal “city noises” like traffic or music from Pineapples. If you want to be walking distance in a cute indoor/outdoor space and you’re easy going with sleep and noise, this is a great space! We felt like we were in Thailand or at a southeast Asian hostel 🙂
The host is very nice and we enjoyed our stay.

Megan was great. Super hospitable. I requested some flowers to be put on the bed only a few hours before check-in and the host accommodated. Great rental.
