From the owner: “Mahalo for your wonderful review! We are so happy you both enjoyed your stay at Wilmin's Vanilla House. So glad you got to travel around and visit some fun places as well. Please come again and enjoy another stay with us.
Mahalo Nui Loa (Thank you very much).”
This cozy spot is a great stay on the east side of the Big Island! Close to Keaau for decent grocery shopping and restaurants, and Hilo is only 20 minutes away with many more options. Great jumping off point for Volcanoes NP as well as nearby beaches. The space is small but plenty of space for 2 people, and the kitchenette makes it easy to save money on meals. There's a great little patio for outdoor dining. Mini split AC in the bedroom was a great benefit! Finally, the hosts are so friendly and welcoming and we appreciated all the snacks, drinks, and fresh fruit that were provided. Highly recommend when visiting the Big Island!
From the owner: “We are so happy you both enjoyed your stay. It was truly a pleasure meeting you. We are so thankful for your descriptive and favorable review. It means a lot to us to please our guests. We hope you both come again!
Mahalo and Aloha!”
