Our stay here was amazing. Cheryl and Everell are wonderful hosts and treated us so well. The bed and breakfast is on the ocean, you can watch the sunrise from your bed, sleep to the sound of waves on the shore and the home is recently renovated but still has that 1920s charm and architecture. The breakfasts they made were amazing and well planned out. We have stayed at many bed and breakfasts and this one is above all the rest... Their hospitality is unmatched. We will be back to the Big Island and we will stay here again without a doubt. Thank you both so much!!! Cheryl and Everell were the perfect hosts! They were very friendly and helped us a lot - Everell even took me to the Farmers Market. The breakfast was also delicious. The house was very special, in a positive way - it's right at the ocean with a huge and comfortable bed. The bathroom just got newly build up when we arrived and was also very nice! All in all we enjoyed our stay at their place a lot and can totally recommend it! Anytime again! Hilo Bay Oceanfront Bed & Breakfast Beautiful Ocean and Hilo Bay Views With its five suites (three oceanfront, one ocean view, and one garden view) you will have a great vantage point to watch the sun rise and the ships, boats, kayaks, canoes, stand up paddle boards, and ocean wildlife in Hilo Bay.
