What a cute cottage in the heart of hilo bay. Super clean, well taken care of and private. I never heard my neighbors talking or tv on. Only draw back was the check in process. I booked this stay last min coming from kona and it took me about 30 min to figure out that there was no front desk. You get a text or email with instructions on how to enter the unit. Housekeeping never came to my room to replace my towels even when i texted them that i needed towels. So i just grabbed towels myself from the laundry facility behind my cottage. If u need to do laundry you can but it cost $5 a load. Other than that the shower toilet and sink was all in one room with no separation. If you gotta do #2 the whole room will smell like it. I recommend getting those Downey small room air freshners if u plan on staying more than 1 night cause it gets rid of all smells.

Great atmosphere with good amenities.

Aaron's Cottage was a great place to stay. It's near the Hilo Bay shore and practically next door to a beautiful public beach park. The owner worked with me on a self check-in so that I could arrive at 11:30 pm. The in-room fridge was nice to have and was supplemented by a nearby communal kitchen with a larger fridge, cooktop, microwave, and toaster. The on-site trees coupled with the ocean breeze kept the room comfortable, but there was a small air conditioner for warmer times of the day. Aaron's Cottage is on a quiet dead end street but still within minutes of downtown amenities. The wifi is very good. My room had a nice Roku television, but why go to Hawaii to watch TV? Skip the glitz and choose simpler amenities with a relaxing atmosphere.

Aaron’s cottage was a great place to stay. Granted we only stayed one night, but it was clean, quiet, convenient and comfy (however the pillows were extremely thin). For someone like me that has neck issues it could’ve been a problem (manager: May want to check the pillows and replace them). However I travel with my own pillow bc I expect these types of things so it was no biggie for me. Otherwise…GREAT stay!

I stayed at Aaron's cottage for two nights and it was a great experience. The cottage was cozy, equipped with all the amenities you could need. It had AC, fans, hot water, a comfortable bed, a kitchenette and full bathroom. The place is easy to find and there is a nice beach within walking distance. The place is ideal for staying in the Hilo area or for day trips to Volcanoes National Park, or drive to the top of Mauna Kea (4WD required). Several great local restaurants as well as supermarkets around the area.

The place is old and needs some attention. Walls are thin you hear everything from the sneeze of your neighbours and relentless barage of birds and airplanes. If you have auditory sensitivity this definitely is not a place to sleep. Otherwise central to some great snorkelling spots close to the waterfalls and downtown Hilo.

I actually loved this property. However, I wanted sit out in the courtyard next to the stone mini pond, but I could not because the flat stone area was covered in over an inch of mold slime. The property said we could pick fruit off the trees. I picked a papaya- it the thick mold/sludge under my feet caused me to slip and grossed me out. I had to wash my flip flops and feet. That area just needs to be scraped and cleaned so that guests can sit and take advantage of the water mini pond, lush vegetation area.

We ended up having the property pretty much to ourselves which was nice. It is no frills lodging and what the info on Expedia doesn’t make clear is that it is a shared kitchen. However as I said there weren’t many other lodgers while we we there so it didn’t make a difference. It has AC which sometimes you don’t find so that also was a plus! My one bit of advice is to bring good ear plugs if you stay here because there are “croakers” which are frogs that like to start talking and singing at nightfall and they are loud.

So it was a great stay. If you are looking for a big fancy resort. This isn’t it. If you want a bathroom a shower and a fridge to keep stuff cold while you explore the island. This is perfect. We left early in the morning and got back late. There is ample on site parking. We don’t need all the extra frills so this worked perfect.

You’ll love this place!

A nice clean bungalow with good air conditioning and comfortable bed. I was most impressed with no bed bugs!! The kitchen is adequate with a gas burning stove top, rice maker, toaster and small coffee maker. The amenities are sufficient including iron and board if needed. There are plenty of dishes, pans and small pots. You may want to bring a larger cooking pot. The table for eating is very small but there is a bar with stools if you have kids. There’s a large refrigerator. The nice walk to a private beach is very cool! I highly recommend this place!
