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.

Amazing rental - Highly recommended!

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.

A lovely stay in Hilo

The place was terrific and the location was central to everything we needed for a week's adventure. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
