Beautiful B&B close to Hilo Central, with a scenic view from the lanai toward Hilo Bay area. The owners are very approachable and couldn't have done more to help us enjoy our stay - they also have an extensive island library available to all the guests, and books in your room for your own usage - first class. They even... more

the owners couldn't have been nicer. they left us an extra blanket for our baby without us asking. they provided good travel recommendations without being intrusive. the breakfasts in the morning were very nicely done, with fruit, banana bread, cereal, boiled eggs, yogurt, coffee, juice, and toast all available. the rooms were nicely appointed with views of the bay. though... more

We stayed at Bay House for two nights during our vacation on the Big Island, and loved every second of it. I wish we could have stayed longer. The owners are welcoming, there if you need them, but otherwise you would not know they're even around. Our room was comfortable and beautiful, small enough to be cozy but big enough... more

My husband and I stayed here after searching on the internet at what was available in Hilo. It was our first trip to Hawaii, and we were excited to see the sights and sounds of everything Hilo had to offer. During the day we enjoyed our stay at the Bay house, thought it was a bit pricey, but were willing... more

The other reviews say it all, so I'll not repeat too much. We stayed in the Palm Room and it was beautiful. The ocean views alone are well worth the price....we fell asleep to the sound of the waves rolling onto shore and watched the sun rise from our bed. It was the perfect place to end our 2 week... more

Look no further than The Bay House when you are looking for lodging in Hilo. The sun sparkling off the bay just outside your window matches your sparkling clean and spacious room, decorated in the spirit of the islands. The unobtrusive care provided by your hosts makes you feel like you are in a magical place. more

I can't say enough how wonderful our stay at the Bay House was. The owners are lovely and you can email them prior to your stay with any questions you have about the b&b, the area, etc. We also got a surprise treat in our room when they learned it was our honeymoon. The rooms were spacious and clean. Each... more

We spent 2 nights at The Bay House in Hilo and loved it! The room was very comfortable, the lanai was roomy and the hot tub was clean, hot and a joy after a long day at Volcanos NP. The tree frogs were loud and I opted for the earplugs that were provided the first night but didn't need them... more

Starting from our booking to our leaving from our stay the Bay House was fantastic! Booking on their hotel website was simple and they provided us with confirmation VERY promptly which made us feel secure that our payment had been received and booking made final. When we arrived (exhausted from early morning bus trip) the lovely hostess, Tina greeted us... more
