We thoroughly enjoyed staying here. The email from Deb made our arrival and entrance easy. We were welcomed with fresh fruit and lovely flowers. The apartment is well furnished with many artistic touches - very clean and comfortable. Comfortable bed, nice linens and abundance of clean towels. The location provides easy access to Hilo and surroundings. The view into the tropical foliage and the sound of the stream rushing below were special.
Jun 27, 2019We enjoyed our stay in this Hilo condo. The setting was very nice with a stream and tropical foliage out the window. The condo was as expected, small bonuses included fresh local fruit and a coffee sample. The location is a plus, easy drive from airport and walking distance (10-15 minutes) from shops and restaurants in Hilo town. Doug was quick to respond to questions and concerns and very friendly. It's not air conditioned like most units in Hawaii and since we live on Oahu we were prepared but it's good to know in advance. There are four tower fans throughout the unit that make it comfortable for relaxing and sleeping. Overall, I think it is a good value and I would recommend it.
Jun 27, 2019We loved staying at Douglas's lovely home! He was very communicative before our trip, delineating in great detail how to get in, what to expect, etc. The space itself was beautiful (really, the pictures don't do it justice), and it was incredible to fall asleep to the sound of the river rushing nearby. We were comfortably close to restaurants, etc. in downtown Hilo, and a great in-between from Volcanoes National Park and the north Hilo coastal towns. Great stay! Wish I had planned my whole vacation based out of this spot.
Jun 27, 2019We had a nice stay
Jun 27, 2019Apartment was comfortable, clean, and easily accessible.The owners were great in terms of communicating to us before arriving, giving full instructions, and making us feel welcome. Greeting us with a bowl of fresh fruit was a nice touch. The location is a short drive (Or a long walk) to several restaurants and coffee shops. we enjoyed our stay very much.
Jun 27, 2019Thank you Douglas! My crew was very happy with the apt! We will be back in a month and hope to stay with you again. Mahalo!
Jun 27, 2019Good location excellent communication from host. Location is above river stream. Overall good value.
Jun 27, 2019Doug sent detailed instruction before we arrived. The place is 2 flights down from the parking spot, so we we had to carry up and down couple of or big luggages, but it wasn't that big of a big deal. The place itself is beautiful. All the amenities for a comfortable stay. There is a creek right next to it and you can hear the sound which adds to the charm. The place was gorgeously decorated with rustic furnitures. It did get a little hot in the night and the cooler could not keep up so we slept with the doors open towards the balcony area.
Jun 27, 2019A good central place to explore Hilo - a couple of minutes drive from a bunch of restaurants. While the complex the apartment is at is not very modern, the apartment interior is modern, well decorated, and has all the amenities you'll need. There is a little stream with out the back window of the dining area - so expect the sound of streaming water and lush green trees. The complex has a laundry room - so just make sure to bring in coins if you want to use it.
Jun 27, 2019This is a great unit. It is extremely clean and very well equipped. The running stream and birds chirping were wonderful!! Highly recommend.
Jun 27, 2019Nice little cozy two bedroom apartment located walking distance to downtown Hilo.
Jun 27, 2019Doug's place is so beautiful and almost magical with the sound of the creek and the birds and frogs. Its a tropical paradise equipped with everything you may need. The kitchen is so well equipped, the bedding ia beautiful and so comfortable. There are scents of candles throughout the house. Doug thoughtfully provided some fruits and water for us. The WiFi works well and the condo is centrally located. I would definately book again if i was ever in Hilo again.
Jun 27, 2019The host canceled this reservation 99 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Jun 27, 2019My family and myself enjoyed staying at Douglas's place. Definitely come back to their place if we come visit again!
Jun 27, 2019A home away from home! Excellent stay!
Jun 27, 2019This is a very nice condo as a base for Hilo-side explorations. We only stayed 2 nights but it met all our needs. Doug and his daughter were excellent in communicating and answering any questions. I would recommend staying here, especially if you need a base for excursions as opposed to a place with a pool to hang out at.
Jun 27, 2019Two nights at Doug's in Hilo was not part of my original plan. However I am glad it all worked out. Really enjoyed the Hilo area. Highly recommend Moon and Turtle for dinner and Zipline Through Paradise for a thrill and mostly staying at Doug's. The unit's ambience and style is indicative of Hilo's early architecture and Craftsman bungalows. Doug took much care in all the details and amenities. The exterior lacks curb appeal but once inside it's another world. The "River" View is more like a tropical jungle, a la Rousseau. Parking is a breeze, the steps... not too bad. Location is close enough to town; short drive or nice long walk.
Jun 27, 2019꼭 가세요.... 더굴라스네 좋음 왕만족 It was ssssssso good! I really recommend this air bnb
Jul 27, 2019Beautiful setting by a tropical stream. Watching the birds flit through the foliage outside and falling asleep to the Coqui frogs and the sound of the water made our stay much more memorable than being at a hotel. Only a two minute drive from downtown Hilo, but a world away in atmosphere. I would stay here any time I return.
Jun 27, 2019Friendly and responsive! Highly recommend!
Jun 27, 2019The location was handy enough as we had a car. We could walk to restaurants. The apartment is spacious for 2 adults and 2 kids.
Jun 27, 2019Perfect dot on the map! Walking distance to downtown and only a few minute drive away from some hidden gems such as the rainbow fall and the botanical gardens! Don't forget to check out the local beaches for snorkeling or walk downtown to Pineapples for a refreshing drink and some live music! Looking for a lazy morning or a relaxing night? Pull up a seat at Doug's and sip on your coffee while enjoying the view of the jungle or lounge around in the quaint living space and put a movie on. Hands down, I highly recommend Doug's place!
Jun 27, 2019Nice flat with stunning jungle noises!
Jun 27, 2019Great location close to rainbow falls and carlsmith beach park. A lot of restaurants and a near by market if you want to cook at "home". I would stay hear again and highly recommend to others.
Jun 27, 2019The condo was great. Very close to everything in Hilo and only 40mins to the volcano. The outlook over the stream and greenery is gorgeous. Everything was really clean and a lot of thought had obviously gone into considering what the guests may need. The owners were easy to contact and the check in/out process was simple. We would definitely stay here again.
Jun 27, 2019We had a pleasant stay in Douglas's house. Very nice veranda to look at te jungle as you are comfortably home. Very well equipped and easy communication. Thank you!
Jun 27, 2019OMG! Best room in the big island. Close to the volcano park and airport. The room has a nice Zen atmosphere. Big room with three beds and a nice kitchen! Family friendly.
Jun 27, 2019Excellent communication and value!
Jun 27, 2019Douglas' place is breath of fresh air.. literally. Very breezy with lovely sounds of the stream. Nice treats included too :) Great directions, friendly and easy communication. We're going to stay here again next time we venture to the Big Island.
Jun 27, 2019화면에 보이는 것과 같은 숙소였습니다.매우 깨끗했고 부엌에는 요리를 위한 도구도 충분했습니다. 주차장에서 내려가는 길이 조금 수고로위서 주로 스트릿파킹을 하고는 편하게 다녔습니다. 테라스가 있어서 스노쿨링으로 젖은 수영복과 도구들을 말릴 수 있었습니다. 다시 힐로에 간다면 꼭 다시 방문하고 싶습니다.
Jun 27, 2019A very decent place with large room!
Jun 27, 2019Great Place to stay, enclosed eating area with sounds of the creek and forrest in the background. 2 Bedrooms with so many great touches made us feel very welcomed. We had a great stay with my wife and 2 year old son. Good location with a car, and Hilo downtown still an easy 10min walk anyway. Great Value... Would Highly Recommend.
Jun 27, 2019Clean, quiet place close to the town center. We enjoyed our stay.
Jun 27, 2019Een heerlijk appartement met jungle geluiden maar door horten geen last van insecten. Netjes, sfeervol en gastvrij.
Jun 27, 2019Doug's condo was a relaxing retreat overlooking a wooded ravine filled with nature sounds instead of the usual traffic noise. It was clean and looked as though it had been recently renovated, with a well-appointed kitchen and pleasant bathroom next to an ample walk-in closet. We particularly enjoyed the eating area in the screened-in porch. Doug's daughter Deb promptly replied to our inquiries, and we had a delightfully stress-free stay.
Jun 27, 2019The location is great, it’s walming distance from Hilo. Comfortable place to stay!
Jun 27, 2019Beautiful house, spacious, clean. There is a balcony facing a creek and we hear frogs singing. Big screen TV, stereos, sofa made our stay comfortable. Highly recommended for people who want to experience living next to tropical forest. The owner was very responsive and could meet up to offer help.
Jun 27, 2019Douglas's Jungle Apartment near downtown Hilo was such a great accommodation. We had a wonderful 5 days at his place and it was everything and more than expected! The apartment was tucked away from downtown, but within easy walking distance. It was much more roomier than described with a great layout, everything that you would need to comfortably stay and much more. The windows look out onto the stream as described.. but it was more like a being in a jungle house! with the rushing stream below, the canopy of the trees and noises from the frogs it truly felt like you were in an exotic jungle location. Everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out. We didn't end up using the pool, but did check it out. Hoping to be back to stay! Thanks!!
Jun 27, 2019Despite Hilo living up to its reputation for rain, we had a great stay. Enough space to spread out, comfortable beds, plenty of towels and the extra half bath provided the comforts of home. A very good base to explore Hawaii.
Jun 27, 2019房东非常热心和热情,看到我们是中国人,还专门准备了中文说明给我们。
Jun 27, 2019Outstanding location, near by access to tons of Hilo attractions. Everything is a drive anyway. Beautifully decotated and extremely comfortable, has everything needed for a family stay. We didnt get to use the pool, as there are just too many things to do. Laudry room was a plus since we did some off roading (Champagne Ponds) and muddy hiking (Waipi’o Valley). It was great to come back each evening to a nice comfortable spot. Loved the sounds of the stream and coqui frogs during dinner, really added to the ambiance. Floor plan is very functional. We had a wonderful time and i would highly recommend this place for parties of 3 or 4.
Jun 27, 2019Doug has a great, centrally located place that had plenty of space for the three of us. He was also very helpful in recommending attractions within Hilo that turned out to make my trip that much better. Reliable WiFi has nice as well.
Jun 27, 2019We really love this condo! — very cozy and tranquil. I enjoyed listening to the sounds of wildlife every day and walking to the downtown area every morning. The two twin beds were perfect for our tweens. The kitchen has everything you need to make a meal. Thanks, Douglas, for letting us stay at your place so we could have a memorable vacation!
Jun 27, 2019Douglas' place is very well appointed, and was very comfortable. It's in an unassuming apartment-like complex, which could be a little off-putting, but once inside, you feel like you're in a completely different space. Very quiet ... and your view out the wide windows is really a tropical jungle. Very convenient to downtown Hilo too. Douglas left a greeting of very yummy Big Island Candies mango manju and fresh fruit too!!
Jun 27, 2019정말 아름답고 깨끗한 숙소였습니다. 공용 세탁실 가격도 저렴한 편이었고 기본적인 물품들도 완벽하게 준비되어 있었습니다.
Jun 27, 2019We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It’s a cozy clean apartment in a quiet residential neighborhood. The apartment is very clean and stacked with absolutely everything we needed during our four-day stay (Deb was very kind to even arrange a play pen and a high chair for our baby!) Communication was extremely easy. Other guests mentioned, but I’ll repeat it again - the river and forest right outside the windows is truly amazing. We slept wry well and had a relaxing stay. Thank you, Deb and Douglas!
Jun 27, 2019This location is beautiful! You have both privacy (not in actual downtown) but the convenience of being extremely close to the downtown area so you can easily walk to the market/shops/restaurants. The condo was fully stocked including linens and everything you would need in a kitchen. Doug was very responsive and kind, and even left us a welcome box of macadamia chocolates. The back patio was enclosed and perfect to sit and relax and play cards. Below the condo area is a small river so you constantly have the sounds of not only the river but the frogs at night, which I love! I would highly recommend staying at Doug’s condo, it is wonderful!
Jun 27, 2019We very much enjoyed staying at Doug's apartment. Everything was sparkling clean, you have everything you might need, the location is great, communication was really prompt, and they were willing to accommodate us and an early check-in even at short notice. We can definitely recommend it!
Jun 27, 2019A well equipped and private apartment, quite comfortable for a family of four and convenient to downtown Hilo. The host was responsive and helpful. After all reviews about the rain it was a pleasant surprise to have some sunshine and a chance to use the very private pool.
Jun 27, 2019Douglas is a great communicator and was easy to reach if needed. His place is in a good location and easy to find with good parking- if you have more than one vehicle in your group one will need to park on the street. The stream behind the condo is very peaceful - at night the coqui frogs chirp their song all night
Jun 27, 2019My brother and I stayed at Douglas's place for 7 days. Everything was as presented on the website. The place was clean, had all the amenities with no bad surprises. Everything in the condo worked as expected. Two special things of note for me were the fresh smelling towels in a very humid town and the sounds of nature coming in from the thick jungle right outside the condo which one can enjoy sitting in the well screened patio. I recommend the place highly! Thanks Naseer
Jun 27, 2019We had a lovely stay at this home! Check-in was seamless, the location is perfect to explore Hilo, the house was in fantastic condition when we arrived and Deb and Douglas were quick to respond to any questions. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a little home away from home in Hilo!
Jun 27, 2019Great location with a responsive host.
Jun 27, 2019Cozy and cute condo with fantastic jungle view and within earshot of the stream. Highly recommended!
Jun 27, 2019This is a great spot in Hilo.
Jun 27, 2019Great place to stay excellent hosts who provide all that is required for a very pleasant stay
Jun 27, 2019Douglas is a very kind, organized, experienced host. Instructions for check in and out were easy to follow and very informative. The condo is nicely furnitured and cosy, very clean and we didn't miss anything. We really appreciated the cookies and fresh fruit on the table when we arrived . We had a good time in Hilo and recommend Douglas and his condo for a nice and smooth stay in Hilo!
Jun 27, 2019Doug’s place is in a beautiful location with a gorgeous view of the jungle. Apartment is beautifully appointed and very comfortable. Kitchen has good quality equipment which was appreciated for cooking. Very quiet and peaceful with the sound of the river. Easy walking distance into downtown. I was totally charmed. Doug was very responsive and accommodating. Mahalo!
Jun 27, 2019힐로 숙박을 고민하다가 어린이(8세)가 있어서 에어비엔비를 통해 결정을하게 되었습니다. 빅아일랜드에서는 30분 거리도 굉장히 먼 거리여서, 편의시설 및 공항과 가까운 곳을 우선 순위로 넣었습니다. Douglas 숙소는 공항 및 다운타운에서 매우 가까워 다니기 수월하였고, 힐로의 유명한 비치들과도 가까운 거리에 위치하여 있으면서도 자연과 함께하는 숙소였습니다. 그리고 주방 및 화장실에 필요한 물품이 모두 구비되어 있어 아주 편리하였습니다.
Jun 27, 2019Apartment was clean and in great condition. Host was excellent at communicating with us throughout the stay and he even decorated the place for Halloween. Perfect place for family with a couple of children.
Jun 27, 2019Excellent emplacement, la ville est à portée de marche. Le bruit de la rivière et le décor tropical sont absolument magnifiques.
Jun 27, 2019Douglas's place was great! Had everything we needed - plenty of towels including beach towels for outdoor activities. I would recommend to anyone visiting Hilo!
Jun 27, 2019This place has everything you need, from the kitchen to entertainment. Its in a great location and close to town. Doug was quick to respond to whatever we needed. He was also able to problem solve efficiently. Plus parking was easy. Highly recommend. He doesn't have all those 5 star ratings for nothing.
Jun 27, 2019Great location and great place! We had a very good time with the family. Highly recommended, Doug really deserves his superhost title. Thanks!
Jun 27, 2019Indeed, it is really a jungle... but outside. Inside, it is a very friendly, cosy, clean nest, very well located near nice restaurants and markets. You will spend good time at the Jungle flat :-) For Web addicted people, notice that the connexion is fast.
