We enjoyed our stay at this unique VRBO. We were excited to see the quonset hut converted and we were amazed it was done so well! The place was super clean. I enjoyed cooking with the high quality kitchenware. The deck was awesome being off the big bedroom on the first level - we spent a lot of time out there. We had our breakfast on the deck each morning to watch the beautiful sunrises. It was quiet and relaxing. Bed was comfortable, showers were great - an added bonus to have two bathrooms. We would definitely stay here again.

Winter getaway

Really enjoyed our stay. The view from the lanai was wonderful. Sunrises were awesome. Joel and Lorna were very responsive to our needs. Aldene is the best caretaker ever. She went above and beyond. Proximity to Hilo was perfect. We would stay here again.

Bliss

This was the best vacation stay I have experienced. The ocean says hello every morning, the wild life performs songs and theatrical movements. It was like watching a movie but you are in it. The caretakers are wonderful and friendly. I can’t wait to return next season

Beautiful location and nicely furnished place

We had a great stay in Hilo. The unit is about 10 minutes outside of Hilo with easy access to downtown and the other attractions. Fully equipped kitchen with washer/dryer. Beautifully furnished. Beautiful grounds nestled above an amazing botanical garden. Will definitely be back!

Peaceful and Scenic

We loved our 2 week stay in this unique home. The planning and structure of the building on the beautiful lot was remarkable. The breezes and the views of the ocean and the mountains made the lanai an oasis in itself. It was also a nice location to be near the highway and close to Hilo. The caretakers shared their aloha spirit to make our stay and travels even more wonderful.

About the host

Hosted by Lorna Groth

I was born and raised on the Big Island and met my husband while he was building the Mauna Kea Cal Tech Observatory. When his job came to an end we went to the Mainland but this home will always have a special place in our hearts.

Why they chose this property

We love this property because it feels private and yet it is still close to Hilo Town. It's just a short ride away to the farmers market, shopping, golfing, and beaches. We love to sit out on the lanai and look out over Hilo Bay and watch the cruise ships come and go. It truly is our little peace of paradise.

What makes this property unique

Just one look and you can tell that the house itself is a unique benefit. It is so peaceful to sit on the lanai and listen to the wind blow through the palm trees while looking out over the ocean. You can also see Onamea Bay off to the right. You can even hear the whales thumping their tails when they come in the winter and early spring.
