Great place to stay
We very much enjoyed and appreciated our stay at Mai Tai Manor! The location worked out great for us as we went north, south and west from there to see so many wonderful areas of Hawaii. It was a great home base. We had everything we needed including kitchen supplies so that we could make most of our meals there. There is a stove top and microwave, toaster, coffee maker, etc. but no oven which we knew in advance and that was not a problem at all for us. We ate all breakfast and most suppers at the house because we bought food in Hilo before heading to the house.Mai Tai Manor is located right behind the host's home and is so cute and well taken care of and the hosts are so kind willing to help if needed, but really they have thought of everything that is needed. We had no issues while there. It may have been a bit difficult to find the place in the dark though so I am glad we arrived before sunset. There is a good place to watch the sunrise a mile up the street also. We would choose to stay here again!

If you're looking for a quiet place a little out of the way, this place is perfect. It had everything we needed for our stay. It’s just close enough to several places to eat and not too far from Hilo and Volcanoes National Park. It’s better than advertised.

Great, quiet place near Hilo!
We had a wonderful time at the Mai Tai Manor. It was so quiet but very close to Pahoa to get food/coffee and not too far from Hilo either. Falling asleep to the frogs every night was amazing! Would definitely stay here again!

Absolutely Wonderful!
A last-minute booking that was an incredible stroke of luck! First, the place is even better in person than in the pictures. Quaint, perfectly kept, with all the supplies one could need, and BLISSFULLY quiet! Second, co-host Will recommended a drive along Govt Beach Road. Would never have known…it was incredible! The Hawaiian Beaches park just down the street has the most beautiful waves, colors, and foam you will ever see. The Govt Beach Road leads to Lava Trees park. By chance, we also saw Whales just offshore from the Beach Road! Frankly, the location was perfect to see the east side of the island. Volcano Natl Park (was erupting the day we went!), the Mauna Kea Observatory, Akaka Falls, Hilo, Panalu’u Black Sand Beach (saw sea turtles!), the Star of the Sea Old Catholic Church, and the Ka’u coffee plantation…all within and hour and a half drive. Thanks so much, Kimberly and Will…an incredible bnb, wonderful hosts, a modest price, and a grand adventure. Highest recommendation! Mahalo.

Quiet and private getaway!
Upon entering, my wife and I were amazed by the cleanliness and the high ceilings. Everything was neat, orderly, and smelled extremely fresh. After a long day of sightseeing, we both looked forward to making our way back to enjoy the solitude. Overall, very comfortable space to relax in.

Very private
Even though the property is connected to the main house, it’s private and comfortable. It’s spacious and not cluttered with furniture, but has the main essentials. The bed is a double, and there isn’t extra bedding. It’s close to Pahoa with adequate shopping and several nice restaurants. Kaleo’s Bar and Grill was a favorite. The ocean is close and “Old Government Road” is a beautiful drive with several pull outs to view the coastline.

Coqui Frog Oasis
Although we didn’t get to meet Kimberly, her and Will were lovely hosts! The space was one of the cleanest BnB’s we’ve been to. Honestly our favorite part was the patio! Surrounding trees has an awesome jungle feel, you can hear beach waves from the place and can spend hours listening to the coqui frogs. They’ve set up outdoor lights that are so so nice. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
