We very much enjoyed our stay at this B&B. The room was clean and well appointed. A great location to explore the Hamuka Coast. Breakfast was left for us by 7 each morning and was simple but tasty. Also a wonderfully situated hot tub, right on the bay. You can't go wrong with this one. Great value! more

I am sitting on our lanai in the Palm room as we speak, eating the wonderful breakfast provided and looking out at the water as we get ready to leave. The Bay House completely exceeded all my expectations. We are on our honeymoon and started in Hilo for 2 days before moving on to another part of Hawaii, and I... more

This was my husband and my first stop on a 14 day visit to Hawaii (Big Island + Maui). We stayed only two nights, and found it a fantastic first stop. Very relaxing and quiet. Yes, you do hear the frogs at night, but we didn't find them that loud. We slept with all of the windows and door open.... more

Following a wedding on Oahu, I booked a little vacation time on the Big Island (Hilo and Kona) during my first trip to Hawaii. I found Bay House on the internet and after reading the nearly unanimous reviews here, decided it would be my home base in Hilo. I arrived after an early morning flight from Oahu and a subsequent... more

The rooms are gorgeous with beautiful views of the ocean. The owners are so friendly and provide a wonderful service; they are also very helpful with all matters of your trip. My kids and I had a wonderful time at Hilo all the way from the local farmer's market to visiting Kilauea volcano and all. If you want to relax... more

Hilo, for us, was a gateway city on our way to explore the big island and so we stopped only one night at the Bay House Bed and Breakfast. But what a pleasant surprise we found: good directions led us in our rented car to an immaculate private, completely equipped comfortable room and bath with our own private screened in... more

My husband and I came to the Big Island for the first half of our honeymoon. We stayed at the Bay House for one night so that we could visit Volcanoes National Park which was about 40 minutes away. We loved it!! It was clean, spacious, and the best part was that it was directly on the water, so we... more

We enjoyed the Bay House. We had never tried a B & B before, but it was great. Breakfast was left out for us each morning and it was a wonderful start to the day. Rooms were clean and furnished tastefully. The bed was the most comfortable bed I'd ever slept in...(including my own). Yes, you can hear the tree... more

We really enjoyed our stay at the Bayhouse and would reccomend it. It was our first stay at a bed and breakfast and my concern was that we would not have enough privacy. It was perfect! We met people only in passing but enough to either meet again or not. Tom and Tina Jimenez, who own and run the Bayhouse... more
