Hilo Bay Oceanfront Bed and Breakfast — Hotel in Hawaii

"Oceanfront" is right! This place could not be closer to the water. My wife and I stayed for 2 nights this past week. My favorite part of our stay was how the sound of the waves lulled us to sleep each night.

The town of Hilo and many restaurants are within walking distance (0.2 miles). Our room was beautiful with a very large bed, a 2-person table by the ocean-front window, and a one-person chair. We also had an in-suite bathroom (I believe all rooms do).

Everell made us feel very welcome. He clearly enjoys taking care of people. He greeted us when we first parked, he offered to help with luggage, and he showed us to our room. I enjoyed chatting with him when I bumped into him from time to time during our stay. He's someone I would have a beer with.

Breakfast in the morning was made to order with many options available. My wife and I got coconut macadamia nut pancakes both mornings, which were excellent. We received a fruit platter when we sat down each morning at the breakfast table with various fresh, delicious fruit on it. I wish I could have that every morning at home!

One suggestion: It would be helpful to have more hooks to hang things in the bathroom. It was rainy one day when we were in town, and my wife and I didn't want to hang our damp clothes on the beautiful wood furniture to dry. The two hooks in the bathroom were occupied by our two towels. A few more hooks would be helpful.

All in all it was a delightful stay. I would absolutely stay here again if we visit the area...

If you are traveling to stay in the beautiful town of Hilo, I highly recommend staying at the Hilo Bay Oceanfront Bed and Breakfast! My long stay at this beautiful seafront B&B was one of the best I have ever had. The location is perfect, close to the Hilo airport and just a mile or so from town. This big gorgeous home is very comfortable and clean, and the very friendly owners and staff do a great job of making you feel at home. The rooms are cozy and the decor is classy. I recommend staying in a room with an ocean view. You fall asleep to the relaxing sound of crashing waves and get a cool breeze from the ocean, then wake up to a stunning view and the aroma of bacon cooking in the kitchen. One of my favorite parts of my stay was the delicious breakfast each morning. You get to sit down to a gorgeous view of Hilo Bay while you are offered coffee or a cold juice and a beautifully arranged plate of Hawaiian fruits. The incredibly friendly and accommodating staff then offers you a large range of hot breakfast dishes, my ultimate favorite being the toasted coconut and macadamia nut pancakes. The owners and staff are always willing to help you with anything you may need, which really gives you the feeling of being taken care of. All in all, stay at the Hilo Bay Oceanfront B&B if you are looking for a comfortable, relaxing and home-like atmosphere on your next...

This is a wonderful Bed and Breakfast. It is located just outside of downtown Hilo (2-min drive or 10-min walk). All major things to do (waterfalls, volcano, etc) are an easy drive away. The breakfast nook and some rooms offer a wonderful, one-of-a-kind ocean-front view. The rooms are well-maintained and each comes with its own bathroom.

During our stay, we had the pleasure of socializing with other guests; however, if that isn't your thing, you'd still be perfectly fine here, as there were a few parties that just slipped into their rooms after a quick "hello". There is a shelf stocked with snacks, an area for coffee, and a refrigerator for leftovers or groceries. They also have umbrellas and snorkeling equipment to borrow, as well as a tiny library! The kitchen is open for guests to use, and offers a nice break from eating out every meal.

The hosts, Cheryl and Everell, were welcoming, and happy to give advice about what to see or where to eat. They serve breakfast every morning, and I highly recommend trying the coconut macadamia-nut pancakes! You can tell that this place is something they deeply care about, as they are always working hard to ensure that guests have a good time. This was easily our favorite place to have stayed on our whole trip. I highly recommend checking them out for your next...
