  • “This place is so cute! You can see a lot of thought and effort was put into it. We loved the cabin feeling in the rainforest. The frog chanting was so peaceful and the plants were magnificent.”

  • "We loved staying at Laila’s. Listening to the rainforest sounds and rain all night was blissful. The house has everything you need. After a long day of travel, you can soak in the clawfoot tub. She has a kettle, so we prepared tea every morning and had toast. Staying at her place was the best thing in Hilo."

  • "Sun Cottage was an absolutely incredible place, tucked in an oasis of wild orchids and ferns. You truly get to experience the best of the Big Island here, while also having an opportunity to relax away from everything else. The beds are extremely soft, the kitchen is well stocked with essentials, and the bathroom is spacious. Every aspect of this place is charming."
