Lovely spot right on the water, all of the rooms are decorated beautifully and everything is immaculate. We stayed two nights in the Bay Room and one night in the Palm Room. Both were clean spacious and pretty. The Bay Room had just the right blend of nature sounds (frogs geckos and ocean). The Palm Room had a more private... More

Tina and Tom at Bay House made us feel so welcome and at home. Our room overlooked beautiful Hilo Bay, the waves lulling us to sleep each night in a huge comfy bed. We had the Harbor Room which was furnished beautifully with Hawaiian paintings and an Aloha quilt on our bed. The bathroom was spotless complete with large, fluffy... More

Went with my fiancee this year (2012) in April. It is a great house with good parking and close to Hilo. We stayed in the Palms room, which very clean and comfortable (especially I liked the private terrace and the spacious bathroom). Breakfast was plenty and healthy. Only minor drawback are the frogs at night, that are pretty loud, but... More

A 5 star isn't enough. It was our second stay in Hilo. By-pass the Hotels for real Hawaiian elegance. The breakfast was an epicurian delight, with wonderful fresh fruit and breads. The location is perfect, close to the water and a short walk to town. The rooms were very clean and fresh. Lovely decor. Tina and Tom are friendly and... More

Tina and Tom are very welcoming to guests. My favorite aspect of their Bay House was sitting in the spa amidst a mini jungle of plants while overlooking Hilo Bay. Also, I enjoyed the highlight of fresh papayas each morning for breakfast. Most importantly, I loved that the Bay House is right next to the bay, so there was a... More

What a wonderful BnB. Easy to find, directions were perfect. Tina and Tom were great hosts. Answered all questions and gave good recommendations for dinner and shopping. The room was very clean and cheery with the Hawaiian decor. The soaps in the bathroom were an added bonus. I loved the nice leisure breakfast in the morning on our lanai. It... More

Tina, the manager, is a bundle of joy to visit with. She puts out a sumptuous morning meal of fresh local fruit and all the fixings on individually prepared trays to take your room. All that we could want. Fresh hot coffee and linen napkins, and the other amenities, including the wonderful room are a touch above other B&B's by... More

When my husband and I plan a vacation, we are very careful in where we stay. Where you sleep, rest and wake up can really make or break a trip. The Bay House was perfect in every way. You really get a feel for the island in Hilo, a very quint and cute town and The Bay House greatly contributes... More

This B&B met our expectations, especially regarding the location and view. We stayed 5 nights in the Bay Room, which has had some changes in furniture (leather love seat and four poster bed) and color scheme (now black/brown/beige/red) from the on-line picture. It was the only one with a high ceiling and was very comfortable with a queen bed, but... More
