Ocean Breeze Inn

Location, quiet and the value.

If I had to say something not so idea about this place, then No AC, but the ocean breeze always cooling off in the natural way.

The property was clean and very well maintained, beautiful location with lots of space and privacy. We loved sitting outside listening to the frogs at night, also loved how it was a quick walk to watch the waves crash on the lava rock. The host provided a lot of amenities to make our stay very comfortable.

There was no central air conditioning so it was hot which made it very uncomfortable to sleep at night and during the day. Adding a window a/c or two would definitely make this property a 10 out of 10.

easy goin owner... great location....

Property is right by the water, theres an unpaved road you can take that goes right towards the rift zone and the main way in is a 10minute drive from the main highway - easy access to volcano. Room was clean, and had microwave, mini fridge, coffee station. Bathroom had shampoo and bodywash, so bring your own conditioner if you need that. The room was hotel style but the property felt like a private airbnb - best of both worlds. We had the patio too and it was nice to watch the sky change color in the morning sunrise. Overall very cute, perfect for adventuring and felt private. Host was very responsive and helpful with dinner recommendations.

There was no AC - which I love because we slept with the patio door open and fell asleep and woke up to bird and ocean sounds - but if you don’t like that be aware. We didn’t use the kitchen or laundry so cant speak to that either. Felt a little far and dark when we were coming back in the evening as its all the way at the end of HPP (but thats where the ocean is so cant have one without the other). Hard to find at first, felt like I was driving into someones house - my two cents is that host should put up a cute sign on the gazebo.

The location is a bit far from the Hilo town, but I would count it as a pro. The surroundings were so good and pleasant. There are unique birds all around, especially after rain. The view of the gardens and nearby oceans is very soothing. The hosts also recommended a few beautiful spots nearby. They were also very helpful with our questions regarding tours.
