    The Bay House was beautiful with a terrific location

    May 08, 2013

    We recently spent 2 nights in the Harbor Room at the Bay House. The location was great, the room was beautiful with luxurious linens, comfy bed, exceptional décor. It was meticulously clean. The coqui frogs at night were extremely loud all the way to daybreak, the hosts graciously provided earplugs, and although charming at first, the noise was still tough to sleep through for me. Breakfast was delightful. I must say information was lacking- no where in our room was information on anything- wireless access, breakfast protocol, TV info, welcome guests... We did see Wifi info taped to a door in the lobby area as we were leaving. The hosts were invisible, which appeals to some. I would recommend it and stay there again.

    Hilo B&B experience

    May 06, 2013

    This facility is walking distance from downtown Hilo (across the bridge). Breakfast made good use of fresh fruits from the area and a selection of fruit juice, freshly brewed coffee, and could be modified to suit dietary needs. Rooms are well ventilated and have views of the Bay from the lanai (covered porch). At least one of the three rooms has a desk and chair which is nice for those using a laptop computer or doing some writing. There is a WiFi connection to the internet. There was a hot tub outside, but we did not use that. As found at most facilities in Hilo, there is a chirping sound outside from tree frogs at night, but ear plugs are provided to eliminate that sound if needed. One does not hear much noise from the hi-way.

    Beautiful rooms with a great ocean view for every room, great daily breakfast, and owner Tina was very friendly, helpful, and made us feel very comfortable. We booked the entire place with one room for each of our kids and their spouses and all said it was the best part of all our different accommodations on all of the islands.

    A Seaside Oasis - with surf and frogs!

    March 19, 2013

    We (2 couples) stayed for 2 nights in the Harbor and Bay rooms. The location is excellent - on a seaside cliff just off the highway on the edge of Hilo. It is cllose to everything but private and quiet. Ideal for us. The layout is a main foyer that doubles as the breakfast location and all 3 rooms and the host residence open into the foyer. You can eat there if you wish but we took our trays back to the lanai. Our room was large with lots of ventilation. We slept at night with the windows and deck doors open but screened. The ocean surf was heavy and the crashing waves were soothing. Oh yes, and so were those coqui frogs. There were lots of these, and they are LOUD. Ear plugs were supplied for those that find this a problem. Our other couple simply shut the windows, but for me I loved falling asleep to the sounds of nature. An evening soak in the hot tub was excellent. I counted 5 of the frogs without trying just by shining my flashlight around. Chatting with the hosts was pleasant and they had good suggestions for places to eat and things to do. Hilo Bay Café and Café Pesto were nice places to eat. Breakfast was a hot dish, fresh fruit, drinks, and home baked goodies. Eggs were available as well. Overall a very good experience and we would return again.

    Fantastic Stay

    March 19, 2013

    We were a little worried, based on reviews of other accommodations in the Hilo area, but The Bay House was fantastic! Great breakfasts, very clean room, hot tub overlooking the bay, waves crashing outside (and down a little cliff). All-in-all, we'd go back again in a heartbeat.

    Wonderful!

    March 10, 2013

    We booked our stay here based on other reviews. We were not disappointed. It is a wonderful place to stay. The view of the bay was beautiful and the room was lovely. Most important to us the bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean. Tina made a wonderful breakfast that had a variety of food, including fresh fruit. Very yummy. We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend the Bay House. Lynn & Jerry
