Tropical Garden Condo with Pool, Kitchen, and A/C!

JessaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a great time staying here. We love eating breakfast in the lanai overlooking the pool and palm trees. The place was really nice and clean. The bed were perfect ( not too firm nor soft) and the linens were clean. We had a great sleep every night. The kitchen was small but just perfect to cook and warm up food. The hosts were great at responding promptly to our question about water safety. It was nice that the tap water was safe to drink. The location was great. Close to a a lot of food places. Over all, the place was great and would definitely book again if we are in this area again. Thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful home!

Great spot! Comfortable space that had everything we needed. It was especially nice watching the sunrise over the park every morning. The location worked well for us. Centrally located, walkable, and easy to stop by between activities.

Ocean View Suites B: Kehena Black Sand Beach!

AlejandraRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Scott was a great host! The space was clean, quiet, and well stocked with towels for showering and the beach. We appreciated his personal touch, making sure we had everything we needed including bottled water, full access to a kitchen, and beach chairs. The location was great with access to the beach right across the street. It's a very secluded place, the best if you need a retreat but if your plans entail visiting landmarks in Hilo or going to a restaurant every night take into account that it's a 10-mile drive from Pahoa.

Incredible View in Hilo - Pool, A/C, Remodeled

AndrewRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Excellent location, very quiet with amazing views from the window/balcony. Comes with dedicated parking space, instructions are inside the apartment along with the pass. The apartment itself is clean, bright, plenty of the space for two people. The kitchen and bathroom are old, but that’s not a negative, everything worked and clean, just not seen a 1980s dishwasher in a long time! Would highly recommend for staying in Hilo

Aloha Falls Hilo ~ Waterfall Paradise

MargedRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Sierra has put a lot of thought and effort into making this a beautiful and comfortable place to stay while exploring Hilo and the Big Island, or just relaxing. The covered screened porch, with a pair of comfortable chairs, was lovely, and especially welcome the day the it rained hard all day. There is everything needed prepare your own meals, but restaurants are only a few minutes away. Arriving and departing were easy.

Barefoot Beach House at Richardson Beach

WayneRating, 5 stars3 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!

Awesome Ocean Front Home - See the Sea for Miles!

KristyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
One of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed. Janice was so kind and communicated great with us. The view is even better in person and the house was bigger in person too! Everything pictured is better than you can imagine. We saw turtles from the cliff every day! Hot tub was fun and so were the games. Neighborhood was great for walks and everyone is so friendly. We did not want to leave!

Two Beach Park homes in Hilo's best location.

EstherRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We stayed 4 days here with extended family in the smaller home on the same property and it was great. The kitchen was well stocked, there was plenty of space for our family of 5 (larger group was 10 total) to spread out. The best part was the beach across the road with good snorkeling (stronger currents so be careful) and lagoon with turtles. Plenty of outdoor gear to borrow- SUP, kayaks, small boogie boards, water shoes and snorkel/fins. Would definitely stay here again.

Modern Suite-Polynesian Retreat

LionelRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The apartment is just perfect for a couple. I was floored to see the interior decor and layout, and the balcony was a beautiful place to eat breakfast or just to drink coffee and read. Big screen TV and free streaming service, Roku, Netflix, Paramount, Apple TV, Disney+, to name a few, Wifi is excellent should you just want to stay indoors. The room has everything you need for a comfortable stay whether you wish to cook or just relax & chill. Parking area is not lit during the night so it's dark but you're safe, and the property has resident geese and chickens. The nightly rate is absolutely reasonable, about a $100 less than the two major hotels on Banyan Drive, plus you get so much more extra room amenities that hotels don't give yet charge you that extra $50 resort fee for things you should get by default. Complementary Keurig cups (coco and coffee) hands down this place is definitely value added. I will certainly look at staying at this place in Hilo town again, 5 ⭐
A bright living space features a comfortable sofa with accent pillows and a matching ottoman. A dining table with bamboo chairs is positioned nearby, complemented by artwork on the walls. Large windows allow natural light to fill the room and provide access to the lanai.

Steps to Shops 2BR Oceanview | Pool | Elevator

kristiRating, 5 stars15 months ago
We had a issue with the shower head on arrival. Vacasa and their team were so quick to address the issue. The gentleman who manages the entire property was so wonderful. He met us on checkin and made us feel very welcomed from the start. They were repaving the parking lot and he had an entire plan in place for parking guests as we arrived if our spot was affected by the current paving. The place was quiet and relaxing. Would recommend this location to anyone wanting to use it. We had a small child and the hosts have thought of everything there were even some kids books there :)

It was a little slice of heaven there.

Hilotown condo w A/C~central to island adventures

LorieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
My fiancé and I stayed here for two nights and absolutely loved it. The water view was outstanding — we found ourselves just sitting and soaking it all in. The location is perfect, close to everything in Hilo, yet peaceful and relaxing. The space had everything we needed in one place, making our stay super convenient and comfortable. Honestly, I wish we had found this gem sooner — it’s hands down the best place we’ve stayed at in Hilo. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

Charming apartment with pool/pond Gardens Hilo

DeborahRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This is a unique, older complex and the units are efficiencies that come with a nice size patio. We were there in February and enjoyed sleeping at night with the cool night air blowing through the screen patio door. Once you get used to the area noises, it makes for good sleeping. What is nice is that the place comes lightly stocked, or they leave the donated items from other guests for future guests. I would rate this a 2.5/3 star accommodation, but very clean. It does not have central air, but it does have an external source to cool the unit. The building’s small laundry room was convenient and clean. We did not use the pool as the water was in need of a good shocking. There is a golf course that borders the back of the complex with a walking trail to the ocean. The people we met in the complex were friendly and helpful. Downtown Hilo is just five minutes away. We enjoyed our stay here and would return again.

I have stayed in a lot of Airbnb accommodations. This condo is the best. It it's perfect for one or two people it they aren't sharing beds. I love sitting on the balcony and watching the waves. I have been here multiple times and I am very comfortable here. Restaurants, market, and beaches are close and easy to access. I love staying here. Thank you!

JessicaRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Sonja and Alex are exemplary Airbnb hosts! They are thoughtful and attentive. We could not have asked for more! If you are going to the Big Island, do yourself a favor and stay in this beautiful oasis. My husband and I had an amazing time, Sonja and Alex left chocolates and fresh island fruits in our space and made us feel 100% at home. Future visits to Hawaii (big island) will be spent here. Gorgeous views and peaceful surroundings. I cannot imagine finding better accommodations. Beautiful, peaceful, perfect. Mahalo Sonja and Alex, MUCH ALOHA. <3
