We checked in on July 26, 2026, originally for 3 nights but left after 2, for units 7 & 9.

- We were not a fan of the coqui frogs. If you like to be serenaded from sunset to early hours of the morning this is your place. Apparently these frogs like to serenade for many hours, and we later found out (via local TV news) they are considered a nuisance and should be reported to authorities.

- In unit 9, there appeared to be dried up contact lens on the night stand = GROSS

- the shower gels that were provided and installed on the shower wall appeared to be very old, since there were layers of color for each of the 3 containers = GROSSER

- Hey, housekeeping, how about spending a few dollar$ and buying new shower curtains? Mold and/or dirt and/or grime was Very Obvious on the plastic curtain = GROSSEST.

- when we arrived, it was very hot and humid. Upon entering each unit, the windows and curtains were open. The room was way too hot and we had to wait for about 6-7 hours for the rooms to get somewhat comfortable (after closing the windows and drapes, of course, and turning the a/c on) after waiting on the porch for a bit and returning from dinner later.

Giving a rating 3 of 5 is somewhat generous in my opinion.

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.

The property is very nice and green. Well kept grounds. Very quaint. I stayed in the bungalow unit and it was very easy to get I to. Check in instructions were easy to follow. The unit was very clean and had everything I needed for the two nights I was there. AC worked well but it was loud. Eventually you get used to it. Shower had a good supply of hot water. The bed was comfortable. I am sensitive to detergents with smell so I had a hard time with that. Maybe cut down on the scented detergent, but that’s me. Most people are not bothered by it. The woman who was busily working when I arrived around 8:30pm was super sweet and helped me find the unit, answered my questions and went on her way. Overall I will stay here again, I was very happy with this rental.

Hi! We stay at Aaron’s every year for the Fourth of July weekend and we usually have an amazing stay! This time around i received a bunch of bug bites from our bed, on my back and butt. And we did find a flea in our bed one morning. The water pressure in our shower was really low as well. We stayed in cottage 1.

Really disappointing overall. I stayed in a beautiful looking cottage and the first night was great. Then sewage backed up into the shower drain along with hot water which was bubbling up for hours while I was out of the room. I had to walk through raw sewage /human waste to get to my things since it flooded the entire bathroom. I notified the hotel staff who put me in a much smaller room which was poorly equipped and a significant downgrade. I message the property owner through Expedia and Expedia since I booked through them (not that I wanted to but I couldn’t get the direct website to work) and no reply. It wasn’t until I texted the owner directly after my stay that I even got a response. He clearly had no intention of doing anything to remedy the issue. No refund was being issued, no apology that my room flooded with sewage… nothing. Wow. Any competent hotel owner would have upgraded the guest and refunded at least part of the stay immediately without me having to ask.

The cottage owner responded to my text by calling me and proceeded to yell at me for several minutes. The people next to me looked on in disbelief as they heard what he said about the room backing up with human waste… and still yelled at me like it was my fault and that it was definitely my problem. He screamed even more and demanded to know what I wanted done about it?!??? Wow… he said he would refund less than 25% of my stay just to shut me up…. I followed up with Expedia because wow. That was awful

I enjoyed that is was chill and quiet, and the beach was within walking distance.

The room could use some upgrades, some things like the outlet covers were loose, the back screen door did not move smoothly, the lanai railing was loose and not connected at the bottom, and the shower curtain did not contain the water from the shower, so water ended up getting onto the floor in the bathroom. This type of shower really needs a solid glass door/wall to keep the water from going everywhere.

My parents and I rented the cottage for four nights. This was absolutely perfect for our needs and we slept really well. We were able to park our rental car with no problem and the area is loaded with things to see, and do. Restaurants nearby, as well as shopping in town. Many of our stops were 3 to 7 minutes away from the property. This is a much better location than staying up by Volcano. Under 10 minutes to the airport but noise wasn't an issue. Staff was super friendly and flexible to meet our needs. Definitely would recommend to those in a small group that don't want to be separated by rooms in a hotel.

What a cute cottage in the heart of hilo bay. Super clean, well taken care of and private. I never heard my neighbors talking or tv on. Only draw back was the check in process. I booked this stay last min coming from kona and it took me about 30 min to figure out that there was no front desk. You get a text or email with instructions on how to enter the unit. Housekeeping never came to my room to replace my towels even when i texted them that i needed towels. So i just grabbed towels myself from the laundry facility behind my cottage. If u need to do laundry you can but it cost $5 a load. Other than that the shower toilet and sink was all in one room with no separation. If you gotta do #2 the whole room will smell like it. I recommend getting those Downey small room air freshners if u plan on staying more than 1 night cause it gets rid of all smells.

Great atmosphere with good amenities.

Aaron's Cottage was a great place to stay. It's near the Hilo Bay shore and practically next door to a beautiful public beach park. The owner worked with me on a self check-in so that I could arrive at 11:30 pm. The in-room fridge was nice to have and was supplemented by a nearby communal kitchen with a larger fridge, cooktop, microwave, and toaster. The on-site trees coupled with the ocean breeze kept the room comfortable, but there was a small air conditioner for warmer times of the day. Aaron's Cottage is on a quiet dead end street but still within minutes of downtown amenities. The wifi is very good. My room had a nice Roku television, but why go to Hawaii to watch TV? Skip the glitz and choose simpler amenities with a relaxing atmosphere.

Aaron’s cottage was a great place to stay. Granted we only stayed one night, but it was clean, quiet, convenient and comfy (however the pillows were extremely thin). For someone like me that has neck issues it could’ve been a problem (manager: May want to check the pillows and replace them). However I travel with my own pillow bc I expect these types of things so it was no biggie for me. Otherwise…GREAT stay!

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.

There are plenty of dishes, pans and small pots. You may want to bring a larger cooking pot.

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.

Excellent stay. I did have trouble with the code to the door that was left for me. But the Owner/Mgr. took care of that within minutes.
If anything was negative was that dang rooster!!! Woke me up every day between 430-630Am. (but I did notice that the whole state has wild roosters, and chickens running around, so not the fault of Aarons Cottage's).
Room was great, very quiet (only 5 of 10 rooms), clean, room looked just like the photos minus the floor fan.
It had everything, I had everything I needed, and it was as advertised! Great location close to everything, yet far enough from the Hussle and Bussle.

Aaron's cottage at Hilo

Check in was seamless. There's a door lock and a key code. Nevertheless, the backdoor is a sliding glassdoor and remains unlocked. Owner, Robert is responsive and a property manager, Jumo lives on the property, who's is also friendly. Guests can use laundry. Property has orange and lemon trees and the owner is generous for you to taste some fresh fruits. There's a community kitchen wherein travelers leave stuff that you can use, if not expired. You get some coffee bags, no creamers and no sugar even after requests. Towels aren't replaced and room isn't cleaned everyday but it wasn't an issue for me. There's no cabinet in the bathroom. Plenty of parking. Quiet and safe location close to the Hilo beaches. You'll see lizards and roaches but it's part of the nature, especially in older buildings. Room itself is spacious and comfortable although you may feel a bit cold since the windows don't fully close. Volcano National Park is only 45 minutes drive away. You may probably find Airbnb entire apartments in this price range though, if you plan ahead. This cottage though has a nice rustic feel and is only 10 minutes drive away from the Hilo airport. I initially booked for two nights and extended by another two nights since I could drive around most of the big island from here.

Chill resting

Great cottage as a home base for Big Island touring. Close to airport and services like gas and grocery (walmart) and Kens Pancake House. Did not have a washrag so had to buy one but no big deal. Comfy bed mattresses in queen double #8. Good pillows. Has provided coffee maker and soap provided in shower with pumps. Communal Kitchenette in separate structure with all amenities. Could use some fresh paint from bumps and nicks on corners and trim but not bad; just regular use. AC blows could to dehumidify if needed. Tree peepers/frogs are quite present but I enjoyed their sound from dusk until dawn. Ample parking and easy to get in and out. Walls are a little thin so please be conscious of neighbours during quiet hours. No problems with our stay. If you want a Hilo stay without big crowds, Aarons Cottage fits the bill. Its all you without the hassle of people and crowds at a hotel.

There were 2 walkable beaches and it is located close to the airport. The community kitchen was convenient. The walls are a bit thin so you can hear neighbors. The staff was helpful.

The manager was very helpful. He had fresh fruit for us very day. Oranges, limes and tangerines. The room and kitchen was very clean. We had to use the washer and dryer at a different unit but it was just across the driveways

We stayed in cottage number 4 and it was just what we needed. There were 3 of us, and there was plenty of room, a nice large bathroom, and air conditioning which we really appreciated on some days. The kitchen is small but we didn’t cook, only made coffee. The grounds are pretty, and the walk to the beach is short and the beach and offshore rocks are very pretty. Covered parking was available, and it was a nice quiet place.

Cute and comfortable in a place close to so many fantastic beach parks! And Hilo Farmer's Market, restaurants and shops a short drive away. Jomo, the property manager, is very helpful and accommodating, he is doing a great job there. I enjoyed my stay in this beautiful place.

It was very nice to be in a Cottage. I barely used the ac because there was a nice cross draft. It is very close to a nice beach.

We often stay at Aarons when in Hilo. The grounds around the property could use some up keep. It seems to have gone down hill in the last year. But the space is perfect, location is great. Rob and Jomo are fabulous!
