Company info

Aloha! We moved here from Los Angeles in 2007. I will be catering to your vacation needs. My daughter Natasha and my son Kyle are sometimes around to help with local info to optimize your stay on the island. They both went to Hawaii University. We enjoy meeting people from all over the world, learning other cultures, sharing the wonders of Hawaii and extending our warmest Filipino Hawaiian hospitality to all our wonderful guests. E komo mai!

Property info

Our home is a historical Hawaiian plantation house located in the quaint town of Hilo Bay near the town center where the only shopping mall (the Prince Kuhio Mall) on the island. It has been lovingly restored to exude easy island living of old times, but with installed modern amenities, fast Wifi, Netflix, Youtube on smart TVs in every room which are studio-style and have access to a eating area and a kitchenette. Just FYI, there are cameras in common indoor areas and outdoor perimeters of the house. I live on-site in a separate apartment, so I am available for company, questions or emergencies. Couples, professionals, researchers adventure seekers and budget travelers love our set-up.

Neighborhood info

We are located in a quiet and safe family neighborhood close to bus stop which takes people to Volcano, downtown Hilo, and as far as west side Kona. Feels like we are 2 blocks from a strip mall with popular fast food and a block to a Farmers Market. We are near the cross streets of Volcano Highway 1 and Saddle Road Extension 2000, heading to Mauna Kea. The airport is 5 stoplights away from this intersection. A bus stop is just at end of our street and a mini mall is two blocks away. It's an easy 30 minute drive to both Volcano Park and Mauna Kea, our island's most popular tourist destinations. The closest beach is a mile away. Our dead-end street turns into one car lane, so please drive slowly. See you soon!
