About this property
Private Tropical Guesthouse in Hilo with AC & Lush Gardens
Welcome to Tropical Retreat Guest House
Escape to your own peaceful tropical retreat in beautiful Hilo, Hawaiʻi.
Surrounded by lush tropical gardens, palms, fruit trees, and the sounds of nature, our private guesthouse offers a quiet place to relax while keeping you just minutes from downtown Hilo, Rainbow Falls, Kaumana Caves, restaurants, shopping, and many of East Hawaiʻi's favorite destinations.
Whether you're starting the morning with coffee on your private deck, walking through the tropical gardens, or relaxing after a day exploring the island, our goal is to give you a comfortable place that feels like your own little piece of Hawaiʻi.
YOUR PRIVATE TROPICAL RETREAT
The guesthouse is a fully independent private home with its own entrance and living spaces, giving you the freedom and privacy to enjoy your vacation at your own pace.
Inside, you'll find a comfortable, thoughtfully maintained space with air conditioning, a full kitchen, high-speed Wi-Fi, washer and dryer, and everything you need to feel at home during your stay.
Outside is where the Tropical Retreat experience really comes to life.
Step into the surrounding gardens and enjoy tropical plants, palms, flowers, and peaceful pathways throughout the property. Relax on your private deck, enjoy the fresh Hilo air.
PEACEFUL, YET CLOSE TO HILO
One of the things our guests love most about our home is the peaceful setting.
You can enjoy the feeling of being tucked away in tropical Hawaiʻi without giving up the convenience of being close to town.
Rainbow Falls is approximately a six-minute drive away, Kaumana Caves is about five minutes away, and Hilo International Airport is approximately 17 minutes from the property.
Downtown Hilo, restaurants, farmers markets, beaches, waterfalls, shopping, and other East Hawaiʻi attractions are all within easy reach.
The guesthouse also makes a wonderful home base for exploring Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and the many waterfalls, rainforest trails, botanical gardens, scenic drives, and coastal areas found throughout East Hawaiʻi.
A PLACE TO SLOW DOWN
This property is especially well suited for couples, solo travelers, and guests looking for somewhere peaceful to return to after exploring the island.
Wake up to the sounds of Hawaiʻi's tropical environment, enjoy a slow morning surrounded by greenery, and come home after a day of adventure to your own comfortable retreat.
We want you to feel like you're staying in Hawaiʻi, not simply sleeping here.

The place was perfect. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Peaceful. We visited Hilo to see family and the location was 5 minutes from my mother -in-law’s house. We will definitely stay again.
The property is well maintained and pretty much has everything one could want in a vacation rental. If one wishes quiet solitude, then this is the place to stay.
The place was very nice and we thought the location was really nice, kind of tucked away from the hustle and bustle but still not too far from town. The AC worked great and kept us cool at night and they left a large container of filtered water in the fridge, which was super helpful. Overall, we would definitely stay here again!
Lovely spot. Very clean and comfortable, and in a beautiful neighborhood. Great to have a kitchen, and a washer/dryer. Raul was nice, and very responsive to our questions. A perfect spot for our trip. Thank you!
The place very comfortable. The AC was important for our adjustment to the humidity here in Hawaii. Sleeping with AC is a good way to start that transition. The rooms were spotlessly clean. The kitchen was ideal for preparing meals although we didn't use it much. The place felt like our little home away from home. So far it was the best place we stayed at on the big island. It is a little ways outside of Hilo town but it was cool to be able to peal back the layers of Hilo slowly. You do need a car to get around. This place would be quite nice with a small family. My son and I enjoyed it very much, having a bed each was really nice. My son gives it 5 stars as well.
The house is located in a nice neighborhood, was very clean, and well equipped with everything we needed; it was a short distance from a few beautiful waterfalls, very close to the downtown, and about 15-20 minutes driving to the beach. We enjoyed our stay very much!
Hosts were very communicative before, during, and after our stay. The home was very clean and cozy, with wonderful organization and suggestions for activities and restaurants nearby. We are very happy with our choice to stay here!
It’s all you need and more in a very quiet and convenient location. I will stay there again if applicable when we come back to Hilo. Perfect location in an amazing part of Hawaii.
Raul & Stefanie are excellent hosts for this peaceful, clean and comfy one bedroom. Firm and comfortable bed and a lot of space in the livingroom and dining room area. Lots of amenitiesand on-site parking. Quiet and safe neighborhood within 10 mins drive to UH Hilo and quaint Hilo town.
If you are looking for a spot out of the hustle and bustle of Hilo this is your place. It was an excellent launching spot for all our adventures on this side of the island. The house had everything we needed. It was clean, updated, very comfortable.
The property is about 10 mins from town and really close to so much. Loved hearing the sounds of the wildlife and getting to see all the stars (there are very few streetlights so you have an amazing view of the sky!) everything was clean and quiet. Great place!
Raul was very organized. Everything was labeled, making it easy to know what remote went with each item. The guest house was clean, quiet and easy to access. Great place to stay!
This home is perfect—super clean, well furnished, and a quiet location. The guestbook put together is OUTSTANDING! It lists not only local activities, restaurants, etc…but QR codes on every item for a quick reference to details! Definitely recommend!
It was exactly what you need and want for a Hawaii vacation stay! Hosts were very friendly and gave you the proper privacy, while still being easily accessible if you needed them. The animals on the property were an added bonus! I HIGHLY recommend this place!!!
