I actually loved this property. However, I wanted sit out in the courtyard next to the stone mini pond, but I could not because the flat stone area was covered in over an inch of mold slime. The property said we could pick fruit off the trees. I picked a papaya- it the thick mold/sludge under my feet caused me to slip and grossed me out. I had to wash my flip flops and feet.
That area just needs to be scraped and cleaned so that guests can sit and take advantage of the water mini pond, lush vegetation area.

We ended up having the property pretty much to ourselves which was nice. It is no frills lodging and what the info on Expedia doesn’t make clear is that it is a shared kitchen. However as I said there weren’t many other lodgers while we we there so it didn’t make a difference. It has AC which sometimes you don’t find so that also was a plus! My one bit of advice is to bring good ear plugs if you stay here because there are “croakers” which are frogs that like to start talking and singing at nightfall and they are loud.

So it was a great stay. If you are looking for a big fancy resort. This isn’t it. If you want a bathroom a shower and a fridge to keep stuff cold while you explore the island. This is perfect. We left early in the morning and got back late. There is ample on site parking. We don’t need all the extra frills so this worked perfect.

You’ll love this place!
A nice clean bungalow with good air conditioning and comfortable bed. I was most impressed with no bed bugs!! The kitchen is adequate with a gas burning stove top, rice maker, toaster and small coffee maker. The amenities are sufficient including iron and board if needed. There are plenty of dishes, pans and small pots. You may want to bring a larger cooking pot.
The table for eating is very small but there is a bar with stools if you have kids.
There’s a large refrigerator. The nice walk to a private beach is very cool!
I highly recommend this place!

No. 5 is a great stand
alone cabin. Josh, the caretaker, was able to bring us extra pillows. It fit our needs. I would recommend a better, firmer mattress. It was very hot in the cabin when we first got there. I would recommend getting the A/C on at least two hours before check in time. An exhaust fan in the bathroom would also help.

We paid $162 per night. The previous week we had stayed in an absolutely beautiful 9th floor condo in downtown Hilo for $160. We booked Aaron's cottage thru Expedia and it did not say shared kitchen nor did it say in the description. When we got there the kitchen was disgusting - dirty greasy dishes, etc. It also smelled of old grease. Someone really needs to thoroughly clean it. Also, in back of the building there was junk and garbage laying around. The smoke alarms in our room were missing and there was supposed to be a snack pack. All we got was water and coffee. The shower did not have a surround so everything in the bathroom was wet. The bed linens smelled horribly of whatever detergent was used. I think The place was worthy of $60/night. So disappointing! The one good thing is that the bed was comfortable.

It was very relaxing staying at Aaron's Cottages. The bed was comfortable for a good sleep. While the room hadbits own coffe maker there was a community kitchen that you could use to make youf own meals. Overall a good experience.

I love having access to a kitchen and laundry, plus proximity to the sweet little features on this side of Hilo. It would be nice to have a comfortable sitting chair in the room, and a better place to hang clothing.

I enjoyed my stay at Aaron’s Cottage. I especially loved having access to a kitchen so I didn’t need to eat out for every meal! It was clean, comfortable, simple, and cute. I would stay here again.
