We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Aaron’s Cottage. Our cottage was clean and well stocked with every amenity, coffee, coffee maker, toaster oven, dishes, and pots and pans. There is also a shared full kitchen for wider cooking options. The check in and check out process was simple and easy. We highly recommend Aaron’s Cottage and will definitely stay here again in the future.

We arrived to a very clean spacious room. The manager sent us our door code. We noticed that the bathroom shower did not have a curtain. The manager offered to change our room or we could just use a towel on the floor. That worked for us! We just used a towel. The adjoining kitchen was a great addition as we like to cook our own meals sometimes. The area is so quiet and beautiful. The street in front of the cottage dead ends into a beautiful secluded public beach, that’s an easy walk away. We were close to downtown, restaurants, beaches to swim and snorkel. Wonderful stay!

Aaron's Cottage was a wonderful place to stay! Having a private room, but access to the gardens, a shared kitchen, and living spaces was incredibly lovely. They had everything you needed, even some complimentary snacks and water. Thank you Aaron's....I'll be back!

This was the third time I’ve stayed at this little property. It’s wonderful! There’s a little private beach at the end of the street. The staff is really friendly and if there’s any problems, they fix it right away. Clean. Highly recommend it and I never wait for reviews. Lol.

Host was very nice and helpful at check in. Amenities were sufficient. Nice welcome amenity in room and much appreciated. Light on porch was out making it hard to see. Shower facility in room was different. No waste basket in bathroom or a place to put toiletries and makeup when trying to use the mirror. Everyrhing got wet in bathroom when showering. No luggage rack or dresser Room very clean. Nice big clean kitchen with sufficient supplies. Very quiet area. Easy access to room was needed snd received. Comfortable bed. Would hv been nice to hv a small bistro perhaps. Brought 2 chairs in to sit on to hv dinner. Highly recommend this nice, low key, and comfortable place

My stay at Aaron's Cottage was good, they left detailed instructions on how to self check-in once I arrived. The property itself is close to a beach in the back, close to downtown Hilo, some tourist attractions and restaurants that can be easily accessed with a car. The unit was cleaned and well stocked with essential amenities, it has an air conditioner and ceiling fan to keep the place cool. There's a communal kitchen that can be used if opt to stay in. Overall, the place is quiet and I had a good experience.
