About this house rental

Charming beach cottage with commanding ocean view of the best beach on the east side of Hawaii! Waiuli (Richardsons Beach) is the best for swimming, surfing, and snorkeling. What's the best thing about it? It's right across the street! Grab a mask and snorkel (there's plenty of fun beach gear at the house to use!) and go explore the cove! Wish to just relax and lay in the shade? There's a great area behind the house to hang out or bbq while watching the ocean. Perfect for families, groups or a nice couple get-away!

The place was nice landlord was sweet, needs new furniture. Couches upstairs are not comfortable to sleep on. Couch downstairs is in very bad condition. The other couch downstairs is pretty small for a couple. Just needs some TLC for Sure.noisy street lots of people hanging in front at night. But over all it was good. Cracks in the wood in bathroom need to be replaced. Too many bugs coming through the cracks

We stayed 8 nights at this small home. It was cozy, convenient to the beach and a quick ride to downtown Hilo which is a charming town. The hosts are friendly and welcoming and made the stay all the more comfortable. I highly recommend Waikiki Cottage as a vacation destination.

We loved our stay at Waiuli Beach Cottage - couldn’t get enough of sitting on that lovely screened front porch looking out at the ocean and Richardson’s beach park. This is a charming old style Hawaiian cottage - if you are looking for a high end condo with a dishwasher this may not be the place for you. Important to understand layout - only one private bedroom upstairs, other sleeping spaces are in main room. Downstairs unit is completely separate and you have to go outside to access it. This worked well for us as our two young adult daughters used that space, which is a large room with bed, couches and TV; bathroom downstairs is gorgeous. Beautiful live edge woodwork and stone counters in kitchen, which is simple but very functional. Lots of beach amenities available - water shoes, snorkel gear, surfboard, kayak. Outdoor shower. Beautiful yard with nice outdoor seating options. Walk across the street to swim and snorkel. Nice residential neighborhood with a multitude of beach parks in Keaukaha, but can be some noise from partiers on occasion. Just 10 minute drive into Hilo town. Owners live close by and are very responsive and friendly. They have provided most everything you could need - additional bedding, pack n play crib, bbq and accessories, washer/dryer, cooler, etc. We would move in if we could - it was perfect for us and we loved every minute of our very comfortable stay here. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend! Thank you Michele and Fuzzy :)

Great location opposite the water. Green sea turtles on the rocks! Very comfortable for two couples with our own bedrooms and washrooms. Just 40 minutes from Volcanoes National Park. A short drive to grocery stores. Very clean and comfortable accommodation. Great place.

Wonderful location with a spacious lanai that we thoroughly enjoyed. The kitchen is well stocked. The only way to get from the upper level to the lower level is by going outside. The beds were comfortable. There were geckos in the house on both levels. We also noted some bugs that appeared to be cockroaches. some of the window screens have gaps in them, so I can see how little critters can come in. We noticed that some areas of the place (under the beds, top of the refrigerator and window ledges) needed to be cleaned.
