Das Ohana Cottage liegt perfekt in der Nähe aller Annehmlichkeiten und doch in einer ruhigen Gegend

Melissa was a most wonderfully easy guest to host and left my place tidy and orderly. I’ll definitely welcome her back again!

Mahalo for your business and for your wonderful review ! It was a Pleiades hosting your family !!

Juliana and her friend were the most fun, sweet, and amazing women of all time. They were also great guests and left my place sparkling clean and orderly. We all had a blast getting to know one another and hope they come to visit us again!

Mahalo Steve, It is always a pleasure hosting you both, and I'm always happy to have you here. You are always the ideal, low-key guests, and you are a particular part of my Ohana! I'm looking forward to having you two again soon!

Let's get the other side of the same coin; here it is. I took the time to send Alexa and her party of 3 self check-in instructions through this site ad well as to phone, with a follow up text to make sure it was read and understand. I got a positive reply. I was driving back from Kona and wasn't able to reach for my phone when they called. They manage to check in earlier than my check in time, blindly followed a different guest through the wrong door, and proceed to take up rooms that are spoken for, each one deciding to check themselves into a separate room! My guests for those rooms arrived at check in time to find all their rooms locked. I got home shortly after, used the master keys to unlock these 3 rooms and was totally bewildered to find suitcases and personal belongings all over the rooms. It took me some time to figure out that these may be the Alexa's party who were supposed to be in the Cottage next door. I can understand if they arrived at night and got confused. But there is no such excused when they arrived around 2 pm and can clearly see everything. I asked where they are from, and proceed to say, " People in Texas cannot read?" I was clearly annoyed at their callousness, but I made that comment without malice. I host people the world over, some barely speak English, yet most manage simple check in instructions without much intervention from me. Their total lack of awareness and inconsideration shown by NOT taking the time to read their check in instructions caused unnecessary havoc for everyone. As for their complain that I'm always around, I live on the property. They were gone early am and arrive late at night almost everyday and I barely saw them so this tidbit is totally made up. I'm always busy and I don't hang out just to be annoying to my guests. There is an airstream on the property next to the Cottage, but no guest had every made an issue about it. It's not spooky, nor occupied by ' a man that can peep through their window'. Overall, they had their own private 'Ohana Cottage', a lovely 2 bedroom house with its own private parking in a very quiet, fully gardened property in a very safe neighborhood at a great cool elevation, close to Hilo town amenities and conveniently within commuting distance to most of Hilo's attraction sites. They had absolutely no complaints during their stay and were even friendly as I bid them goodbye on the day they were leaving, possibly the only other time I saw them from when they arrived.

Much mahalo,Rendí, for this wonderful review. I so appreciate it. It’s always heartwarming to host families such as yours that are positive, open to new experiences and appreciative of every little thing. Come back anytime !❤️

Colleen and her husband Steve are practically 'ohana' and I adore them and happy to host them anytime. I'm flattered to have them chose to let me host them twice in a row and I look forward to their next trip. I can't ask for better guests!

Mahalo and hope you do comeback again!!

Much mahalo, Amanda, for the kind and sweet review. I loved hosting such appreciative and good-hearted guests as yourself and am happy to do all I can to ensure a comfortable and satisfactory stay.
