Serenity

Having stayed at this property in the past, we went out of our way to vacation in Hilo in order to take a much needed break from the hustle of tourism in Hawaii!! The hosts are incredibly friendly and very accommodating of our special requests. Reed's Island is an oasis within the bayfront area of Hilo. Highly recommend this rental!

Tucked away jewel

Quiet tucked away place pretty central to Hilo. Easy to go north or south for adventures. Tanner was very quick to get us a bottle opener and glasses and then extra coffee for the morning. Only noise came from the frogs 🐸

Gorgeous

We loved our stay at Reeds island. It was drizzly during our stay so the covered parking was incredible. The space was extremely clean and welcoming. The bed is so comfortable. Hearing the soothing coquis the first night brought me so much nostalgia from when we lived on island. The hosts are super sweet and accommodating. We would stay again!

Would stay there again

Very clean. Very nice grounds and interior. Didn’t meet owner but she immediately and always replied to our inquiries. We had a few questions as first time users of VRBO. But be aware property is located almost at end of narrow lane. Would stay there again.

True Gem

This place is amazing!!! It is exactly like the pictures and the description on the website. The host was very easy to get in touch with and responded quickly. We will definitely stay here on our next trip to Hawaii. Our only complaint is we didn’t get to stay longer this trip.

About the host

Hosted by Hannah Lidahl

Host profile image
I grew up in a small town in Minnesota, attended college at UW Seattle, and now am out enjoying the island life in Hawaii! My partner Tanner and I love going off adventuring with our mountain dog Soula. Most of our time is spent outside exploring new places and forcing our nap happy doggo to exercise.
