My wife and I stayed at the Bay House on our honeymoon and had a fabulous stay! We were greeted with such warmth, open arms, and the Aloha attitude. Our room was perfect- so comfortable and cozy, and right on the ocean. Tina was extremely nice to us and truly interested in our stories of our vacation. She cooked us... more

We started off our trip in Hilo, a town not known for its many accommodations. We really had only a few requirements - clean, affordable place to sleep at night while we explored Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park during the day. We had never stayed at a B&B and were uncertain about the idea of staying in someone else's house but... more

We stayed at the Bay House for the final two nights of our visit to the Big Island. My husband and I were completely satisfied with everything about this place. We stayed in the Harbor Room which was beautifully decorated (as were each of the other two rooms), clean, and spacious. The bed was comfortable and we enjoyed the sound... more

Hello everybody. Firstly, just ignore the previous review, it is really easy to find this house. Just go over the metal bridge from Hilo and turn right at the end of the crash barrier. The house is clearly marked "Bay House Bed and Breakfast" on a large sign on the gate. Easy. The hosts were both very helpfull and friendly,... more

We found the Bay House through their website, which looks much better than the actual property. The hostess, tina, made absolutely no effort to help direct us to the property when we called her on the phone. She actually blamed us for arriving late when the airline lost our luggage! There are three houses on the street, and no indication... more

We apologize if any of these comments are interpreted as being cavalier and not caring about our guests. Nothing could be further from the truth. I am tempted to apologize for being inhospitable, but I think not. I remember these two guests very well. We chatted with them for over half an hour. The wife had a very heavy Cuban...

We loved the Bay House B&B. We stayed in three different B&B's in the four days that we were on the Big Island during our honeymoon. This one was definitely our favorite (the other two were Serenity in Hawaii and Lotus Garden Cottage). This B&B was very very clean, safe, and comfortable. We stayed in the Harbor Room and loved... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Bay House B&B which as the name suggests is positioned on the water's edge overlooking Hilo Bay. The rooms were very comfortable, well furnished and spotlessly clean. We particularly enjoyed having our breakfast on the lanai and watching the boating activity on the water, including the arrival of a cruise liner one morning. The... more

The Bay House is in a great location and superficially, seems nice. However, I would not recommend it to anyone. On arrival, I was greeted by the husband. He showed me the room, told me where to park, handed me a cheap eats guide of which he couldn't tell me how to get to the restaurant that I selected, and... more

Yikes! We are so sorry you were unhappy here. We wish you had talked to us before time so we could have answered your concerns or rectified the situation. Just a phone call, note, or email would have been nice. We are sorry the big blue binder full of menus, things to do etc. and the book with directions and...

The Bay House was a great get away... much better than a standard hotel. The owners, Tina & Tom, are very sweet and helpful with all your needs wheather about the Bay House or surrounding sights. Beautiful rooms, fantastic breakfast, great view of the bay, and lovely common room with games and tour books on Hilo -- which were also... more
