The Bay House

Overlooking Hilo Bay and just steps away from the Singing Bridge near Hilo's historical downtown area, this small, quiet bed-and-breakfast is vibrantly decorated, with Hawaiian-quilted beds and private lanai in each of the three rooms. An outdoor hot tub on the cliff offers excellent views of the bay below. A small continental breakfast buffet contains fresh fruits, breads, and coffee from the area—guests are invited to carry what they want from the buffet in a basket back to their lanai for a private breakfast.

YOU SHOULD KNOW This B&B is in a great location – ocean views and walking distance to downtown Hilo where you can find charming shops stretched out over a few blocks, museums and discovery centers, and restaurants. Be sure to spend at least one morning on foot, exploring near your B&B.

room

There are three spacious rooms in this lovely bed and breakfast, all with sitting areas in the room, ocean views, private lanai, and free Wi-Fi. The Hawaiian quilts and décor add multiple levels of charm and authenticity that makes these rooms a great place to spend your vacation down time.

bathroom

Bathrooms are a good size, with standard sink, toilet, and tub/shower. The nice thing about the bathrooms is that the décor really carries over from the room, and the fresh flowers are an especially charming touch.

lobby

This B&B allows guests to walk right in through the lovely front porch, where you’ll be greeted by your hosts.

pool

There is no pool, but a shared cliffside jacuzzi with magnificent ocean views for guests to enjoy.

dining

There is no on-site restaurant, but guests can enjoy a daily breakfast buffet with Kona coffee, tropical fruit, and pastries as part of their stay. The common area includes a refrigerator and microwave for guest use.

YOU SHOULD KNOW Though there is a lovely breakfast provided daily, it is fairly light and somewhat redundant. If you have a physically active day ahead, be sure to grab second breakfast or some pre-lunch snacks.
