Leigh was very communicative and helpful (she sent us a long list of very helpful recommendations), and the place itself was amazing. The view was incredible, and it was very convenient to get to town. We loved watching the surfers in the morning from our view on the cliff. Apartment had all the essentials, location was great, the bed was comfy, the wifi worked... what more could you want?

Barefoot Beach House at Richardson Beach

5 out of 5 average rating, 27 reviews3 weeks ago

Robert and Erin were great hosts and communicators. The house is located across a beautiful park/beach. Even though the park was busy it didn’t fell intrusive at all, we loved having our coffee on the front porch in the mornings and unwinding in it at night. We have young boys who loved all the chickens and lizards in the yard, and seeing the sea turtles across the street. Overall the house is in great shape and met our expectations!

We really enjoyed our time in Hilo. Richard's house was a great space for our family. Definitely a chill, summer house vibe. It had everything we needed, and the view out the picture windows was stunning. We loved the huge tree in the front yard. We spent a lot of time at Richardson Beach. Snorkeling was really great. We would love to return.

Seaside House

If you’re looking for something a little different and off the beaten path, this is a fantastic find! Our family of 4 absolutely loved the space, and felt right at home. The sounds of the forest sang us to sleep each night, and we found some spectacular places to explore each day. Hawaii Volcanoes national park is a little over an hour’s drive away, and there are numerous black sand beaches and other sights to check out in the area. Peaceful, beautiful, and really comfortable. Highly recommend!

Shiva's cottage was absolutely wonderful. We loved everything about it...the deck that practically overhangs the ocean, the house layout, the design-we especially adored the kitchen floor-the whole house was beautifully decorated, with thoughtful touches throughout. Shiva was a pleasure to work with-very welcoming and great communication. The area is quiet and peaceful, which is just what we were looking for, after a busy week in Kona. Thank you Shiva for an amazing stay-we can't wait to come back!

Balinese Beach House With Pool

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 45 reviews3 weeks ago

Our stay at Kehena Moana was truly magical. This peaceful, private retreat is just steps from a stunning black sand beach! It was perfect for our two families with kids. The home was spacious, spotless, and beautifully stocked, with luxurious bedrooms, private bathrooms, and breathtaking ocean views. We spent hours in the pool (a huge hit with the kids!) and loved the soft Turkish towels provided. The setting was serene and lush, far from the busier resort areas, offering a relaxing escape. Caleb, Mark, and their sweet dog Jerry welcomed us warmly and gave a helpful tour. Caleb was an outstanding host! So kind, responsive, and full of great local tips. One small note: the coqui frogs sing loudly at night, so light sleepers may want earplugs. Still, most of us slept just fine. If you’re looking for a unique, tranquil Hawaiian getaway filled with comfort, nature, and charm, Kehena Moana is an absolute gem. We can’t wait to come back! 10/10 recommend booking this rare gem!

black sand beach house, ocean views, swim spa/pool

5 out of 5 average rating, 22 reviews2 weeks ago

Had a real nice stay at Aaron’s beach house. Was peaceful and quiet. Highlights were hanging out on the balconies overlooking the ocean, spa pool, ping pong and finding coconuts in the yard. Did quite a bit of cooking and found his kitchen to be very well stocked. The fruit basket was a real nice touch (how I miss the papayas!) Aaron was very responsive and friendly. Helped with recommendations as did local hosts. Beach notes -needs a little traversing to get down. We were a 3 generation family and found it easier to access the beach on the far end (further away from house). There was an easier path on that side. - the ocean was pretty rough when we visited, would need to be a strong swimmer. We didn’t let our 8 & 10 yr old swim but they enjoyed playing in sand and shore’s edge. - was definitely clothing optional

This is a beautiful location with a very calm and serene pond and Koi fish! It has a wonderful porch with lots of chairs, and the bathrooms are fantastic. You are right next to the ocean and can walk right over to experience the waves and the surf. And there is a gate at the end of the driveway that helps you feel secure. It’s a very nice home and I’m glad we chose it!
