Ocean View Mountain Home

MichaelRating, 5 stars3 months ago

This place was perfect for a family vacation. The house: It was amazing. We loved the space. Everyone had a room with their own bathroom, all with amazing views. The house and especially the kitchen had every ammenity you might need. There was also a bbq, beach gear, and laundry. It was quiet and private. Cristopher was also very quick to respond to any questions. There is a steep driveway, but we were able to make just fine in standard rental cars. We loved just sitting out at night listening to all of the frogs. The location: For us, it was great. It is upcountry, so you do need to drive places, but it is 3 min from Akaka falls and about half an hour to Hilo and nice beaches. Honomu is close by and is a small quiet town with a few shops and resturants. If you don't mind exploring and getting a little muddy, there is even a small waterfall and pool that you can walk to from the house. We easily could have spent our entire vacation here and we'd love to come back some day!

KyleRating, 5 stars1 month ago

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.

Watermelon House

RobinRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This property truly exceeded all of our expectations. The owners and the property manager were incredibly friendly and responsive, providing us with everything we needed to ensure our stay was seamless. From the luxurious amenities to the stunning surroundings, it was an experience we’ll never forget. If you’re looking for a luxurious yet comfortable place to stay on the Big Island, this is the spot! We can’t wait to return – it was everything we dreamed of and more! Mahalo Sabrina

Puna Rainforest Retreat Hotspring: Purple Passion

WendyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This is the place to stay if you want to feel more like a local and less like a tourist. Absolutely beautiful location, wonderful host and close to great restaurants in Pahoa. The property itself also had beautiful trails to walk with steam vents on site, truly a tropical paradise. Jacqueline was absolutely wonderful and her pup was great at public relations! Will definitely come back if we get a chance!

Ocean View Suites A: Kehena Black Sand Beach!

TerryRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Scott’s place is a peaceful retreat just steps from the beach, with stunning ocean views right from the balcony. The surrounding area is beautifully natural and serene—perfect for relaxing and unwinding. While it’s a bit removed from restaurants and services, having a rental car makes exploring the area easy and convenient. Inside, the apartment is exceptionally well organized—everything is thoughtfully arranged, easy to find, and feels welcoming. Overall, a wonderful place to stay. Highly recommended! – Terry

We felt like home. Adrianne was proactive in her communication and quick to respond. There were notes inside the house to ensure the guest uses the facilities correctly, I am ok with it. All the items shown in photos matches with what we got. It would be good, if part of the garage will be allowed to use by the guest. If I get a change, we will book it again and will recommend to friends.

RickRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Mahalo for everything. I felt at home with Delia & Kim from the very beginning. Their loving nature and the effort they put into everything is extraordinary. I'll never forget the Big Island for several reasons, and staying with Delia and her family is definitely one of them. The location is worth its weight in gold for anyone seeking peace and quiet. Best, Rick

Volcano Shangri La

5 out of 5 average rating, 12 reviews1 week ago

We had three day visit to Volcanoes National Park and we really enjoyed our stay. Paku was a great host he provided local knowledge and suggestions. The house had everything we needed, and Paku was very accommodating. Also, We got lucky and were able to see the eruption of Kilauea, which was great. After hiking and spending all day at the park, the hot tub and outdoor shower were awesome. We felt right at home and we enjoyed, Patchy, Paku’s super friendly cat who lives on the property. Thanks again for a great stay, hopefully we get a chance to visit again.

D's 3 bedroom guest house, 5 minute walk to town

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 25 reviews1 week ago

Dennis was super nice and super communicative. His place is easily walkable to downtown. It's a great space, nice beds, clean bathroom, kitchen had everything we needed. Windows all had screens so we stayed cool with the great ocean breeze! The only downside is there are roosters in the neighborhood that make a lot of noise early in the morning, which woke us up. But this would also be true of any other place nearby, so I'd still recommend Dennis's place as a great spot in Hilo!

Oceanfront Beach Cottage Hilo HI

4.89 out of 5 average rating, 146 reviews3 months ago

Incredible place and prime locations. Just walk across the street and you're at the beach. Walk a little to the left and you're at another beach with a huge wading pool. Kids loved snorkeling there. And, although I didn't know at the time of booking, the side and backyard is huge with lush tropical plants. Felt like we were in Costa Rica! As previous guests mentioned, the upstairs is apart from downstairs, with a separate side entrance (they are not connected). But there are no visible neighbors due to all the trees, so I don't know why other reviewers mentioned neighbors being loud. Such is not the case at all; but the beach across the street is public, so it gets crowded during the day. Felt completely safe the whole time.

Rainforest Tea House w Pool /Rental Car Options

4.88 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviews34 months ago

The house was exactly what I was looking for and more — private, safe, surrounded by nature, within 15 minutes of a beautiful beach and pet-friendly. I was also happily surprised by the number of stores 10 minutes away in Pahoa’s town center including a Whole Foods like store called Malama Market, a CVS affiliate called Longs Pharmacy, great Thai food at Ning’s Thai and delicious breakfast at the Tin Shack Bakery. The weather was also better than I expected — I’d (correctly) anticipated daily tropical rain showers, but the late mornings through afternoons were almost always sunny during my June stay. And I was also pleasantly surprised that Instacart delivery people were able to successfully deliver goods from Hilo, 30-40 mins away. The house itself is beautifully decorated. I personally loved the crystals around the bed and flickering decorative lights. Those relaxing touches along with the sounds of nature — birds, frogs, insects and intermittent tropical rain — helped set the stage for some very restful sleep. I didn’t do any cooking beyond warming things up during my time there, but the refrigerator, freezer, oven and stove worked perfectly, and the shower water was nice and warm. Also, the car I rented from Kristen was perfect for my needs. You definitely need a car when staying here and one that can handle unpaved terrain. I loved my stay, and as long as you’re ok with lizards, insects, tropical rain, spotty cellular service supplemented by GREAT wifi, friendly kittens and a dog roaming the property, you’ll likely love it too.

Luxurious Paradise- pool, hot tub, games and A/C!

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 69 reviews1 month ago

This is a very nice location, just about a block from Makku point (a great place to watch a sunrise over the pacific). The house is clean, modern, and looks like it was purpose-built to be a AirBnB for families. There is an upstairs three-bedroom, two bath living area - very nice, with a nice veranda area - and a private one-bed, one bath apartment area on the first floor. The kids loved the pool/hot-tub area. These hosts are everything you could want from a rental experience.

Jungle House w/Game Rooms Sleeps 17 "Whole Home"

ElizabethRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Really great to stay at Joy and Brandon’s Jungle House on the Big Island. Lots of space and bedrooms for a big family gathering and lots to do in the area around Hilo, the volcano park and the black sand beach. We had a great Christmas adventure there and were even able to cook up a turkey and ham with all the fixings with the amenities provided! We had a few issues with supplies and laundry but Joy and Brandon took care of everything quickly and had good advice about what to do right away. I would definitely go back and grateful for the great time my family had together and Joy and Brandon’s hospitality.

A bright yellow house is seen from above, surrounded by lush greenery. A wooden deck encircles the saltwater pool, which is flanked by tropical plants. Large glass doors on the upper level lead to a balcony, providing views of the scenic landscape.

JamieRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Diane's cabin was a very peaceful place to stay. She was very responsive and flexible. Diane was even kind enough to assist me in coordinating to receive time-sensitive mail while staying at her cabin. The place was clean and organized. You can tell that much thought was put into the layout and where things were placed/organized around the cabin. I would definitely stay at Diane's cabin again.

Peaceful Kehena Beach Treehouse Villa w/ Star Deck

CarlyroseRating, 5 stars1 month ago

The home is on a beautiful and quiet area of Pahoa. It was comfortable and cozy and had all the amenities we needed, the outdoor deck and the star deck was our favorite part!! The only thing that was a little bothersome was the fact that we had to walk outside of the first floor and around to go up to the 2nd floor, as they are not connected. I think it’s a great house for a family or two that want some privacy but maybe not so much for a group of friends who constantly want be aroundeach other. Would stay here again, the peace was worth it!
