About this house rental
WHY STAY ANYWHERE ELSE IN HILO BUT CLOSE TO BEACHES AND OCEAN WHERE THE WEATHER IS BEST!!!
WE'RE EXCITED TO NOW PROVIDE GUESTS WITH THE COMFORT OF A NEWLY INSTALLED SPLIT AC SYSTEM!!
Our islands have been experiencing the warmest and most humid weather we have had in years and while some guests prefer the tropical breezes by keeping windows and doors open with ceiling fans going, we realize some guests prefer and need the comfort of AC. In trying to make every guests stay the best, we have installed a new split AC system in both the upstairs and downstairs living areas and all bedrooms throughout the beach house.
Although our beach home is located a few minutes from downtown Hilo it is nestled away from traffic close to a quiet and secluded ocean cove. It provides an ideal location for visitors looking to visit all the sites on the east side of the island. The home is 5-8 minutes from the airport, shopping, restaurants, and Hilo’s popular Downtown Farmer's Market. The Hawaii Volcano National Park and waterfalls along the Hamakua coast are a 30 to 40 minute drive away. The world famous Arnotts’ Tours to the Volcano, Mauna Kea, and other famous vacation sites are less than a five minute walk from the home.
Our beach home is also a few steps away from the ocean and beach where guests can enjoy just lounging in the sun or swimming. Many of our guests enjoy exploring the ocean where they see turtles feeding along the cliffs and dolphins playing further out in the open ocean. A few minutes driving down the road there is a popular beach park Richardson's where guests also enjoy snorkeling, boogie boarding, and swimming.
Our three bedroom home is ideal for multiple couples or families with older children and grandparents traveling together.. It is a few steps from an ocean cove where you can explore tide pools, see turtles, dolphins, and whales or enjoy a morning or evening swim or stroll.
Families enjoy having morning and early evening meals on the upstairs large balcony overlooking the garden. There is also another large outdoor patio for dining, grilling, or just relaxing while listening to the sounds of the ocean.
The upstairs one bedroom unit provides a queen bed and a queen futon sofa sleeper, full bath, full kitchen, two living areas, wifi, open balcony, newly installed bedroom and living area AC's, and private parking. There is also a smaller lanai that can be exited from the bedroom.
The two bedroom one bath downstairs unit has a full shower bath, kitchen, dining and living area, and newly installed bedroom and living room AC. This is ideal for families with older kids, multiple couples, or grandparents who need extra sleeping, dining, bathroom, and relaxing accommodations.
Our beach home consists of two separate units. There is no indoor stair access between the upstairs and downstairs units. Each unit has separate entrances, kitchens, living/dining areas, and patios. For families with younger children that need nightly supervision the separate downstairs unit would not be appropriate and adult supervision at night would be needed.

The house and studio worked out perfectly for our family trip to attend our daughter's graduation from UH Hilo. The separate studio unit allowed grandparents a place to relax in while the younger adults utilized the gazebo. The outside bathroom and shower were super convenient when returning from the beach. This is our second time staying at this vrbo and would definitely book it again!

The house is lovely: immaculate, comfortable, quiet, and very thoughtfully appointed. The owners have thought of every detail, and we were even greeted with fresh flowers and a welcome basket. The outside space is fabulous, and the home is right down the street from a small beach. Highly recommended!

Nice clean property in Hilo
The house was super clean and I am super picky about cleanliness. The beds were comfortable and the owner was nice enough to leave cookies and rainbow bread for our arrival. It is small—but it was fine for 3 nights to see the sights in Hilo and Volcanos National Park. The upstairs unit is a separate apartment with a separate entrance. My 18 year old daughter stayed there and it was nice so we could have our own space. House is close to everything in Hilo but tucked away to feel private. It was about 40 minutes from Volcanos National Park.

Home away from home...with all the amenities
We had a terrific time at this vacation property, hosted by Claudia (which was her family's home at one point). We were greeted with fresh Hawaiian flowers in both units, and local breads (delicious). Made us feel right at home.
The vacation home is a 2 level unit with their individual front doors, but a staircase (outside ) that connects them. The upstairs has a real kitchen, while the lower level has a breakfast kitchen (no stove) but a great toaster and microwave. The bathroom in the lower level was very small, but the rest of the place, location, amenities made up for that 1 aspect.
Each level had all the amenities from cutting boards, rice cooker, and other kitchen items. Outside, they had beach chairs, tatami mats, noodles, water shoes in a variety of sizes, goggles, masks and much more.
There is an outside lanai that was our gathering spot, especially in the afternoon for cards. The bugs do come out around 5pm, so make sure to put on bug spray. Wait for the frogs to serenade you at night...and show up close to your door. The home is just 2 houses away from the water. And 5 more beach parks that offer snorkeling were within 2 miles of the house. It was very conveniently located.
My parents raved about the house, and kept comparing our next vacation spot to Claudia's home. Thank you Claudia for being such a gracious host and providing all the amenities we needed.

Hilo Holiday
Lovely tropical property. Very comfortable for our party.
The upstairs & downstairs aren't connected on the inside, so it adds a bit of privacy for couples traveling together. The is another studio on the property, so you may see other visitors during your stay & you share the washer/dryer with them.
Owner attentive to messages & requests.
Comfy mattresses (wobbly bed frames), nice kitchen set-up. Good seating arrangements.
Close to a lovely, rocky beach & good snorkeling down the road at Richardson Beach Park.

Relax in comfort
A lovely update to a classic older Hawaiian beach cottage. Very spacious with several outdoor living spaces. Comfortable furnishings, well-stocked kitchens, super clean, near downtown. And just a a couple hundred feet to the beach.

Cute, clean, charming.
All good. Short walk to beach.
Good hideaway place. Local food options are extremely limited, so plan accordingly.

Great place
This little house was perfect for our stay! We enjoyed the close walk to the beach and the beautiful outside. We have a 1&2 year old and even though they wanted to play and get into everything they loved It! Claudia was so sweet every time I talked about to her. If the tv isn’t working.. read the big sign telling you how to fix it! Learned this the night before we left but it was our own fault for not seeing the sign! Thanks again Claudia!

Had the best time in this very clean and updated house. It had all the amenities we could need and the fresh flowers and welcome amenities where a great touch to welcome us.

Nice House :-)
We enjoyed our stay and loved the house! Clean, well appointed and lots of cookware - spices in kitchen for cooking... Great porches and the covered grill shelter in back yard was perfect for eating and relaxing. Will definitely stay again on my next trip to visit my daughter, DZF

Outstanding beach house
When we opened the front door we were home!!! How often can you have breakfast on a lanai overlooking a pond with two wild ducks swimming around, or sit on a different lanai in the afternoon listening to the chirping of birds. Not to mention walking access to four beaches, one at the end of the street. The house itself was beautifully equipped and exuded warmth. The bed was very comfortable. Highly recommended.

Lovely beach house!
Very comfortable stay in this cozy home, close to many attractions in Hilo yet very secluded. Downstairs unit should have A/C or at least dehumidifiers ad it got very hot and muggy inside on rainy days, musty smell.

Ups & Downs
Couldn't get used to the frogs...…...the earplugs were helpful.
The downstairs unit was almost unbearable with the heat & humidity!!! The upstairs unit was better, but the AC really struggled to keep it tolerable.
The beach was very nice. And really enjoyed sharing the lanai with the Java Sparrows in the late afternoon!!

Hilo house
We should have read reviews which was our mistake. We did not know that the house was divided and had 2separate entrances.the one upstairs was ok but rest if house had no ac and was extremely hot. Impossible to sleep and basement was disgusting with mold and horrible smell could not go down there the noise from the crickets all night was deafening. The entire stay at this house ruined our trip and feel the owner should pay us to stay there

Great House near beaches
This little house is perfectly outfitted for a couple or small family of three to stay in Hilo. My daughter and I stayed two weeks while she worked nearby and the house is cute, clean and nicely equipped for all you could need. Close to everything, including some lovely black sand beaches, it served our needs perfectly. The landscaping is lovely, the kitchen well outfitted, great WiFi and tv viewing, plus great bbq and outdoor areas to enjoy. Comfy beds, nice owners and nice location. What more could you want?

Perfect Location in Hilo
A wonderful home with an outstanding location for family vacation while in Hilo. Especially enjoyed the outside grill and seating area for cooking fresh fish from the local market. Owner was very responsive and helpful!

Sweet and well- appointed
Claudia has made this rental a joy to stay at. The various lanais are so pleasant for breakfast or reading a book. The kitchen has everything you need. Plenty of towels and beach stuff - boogie boards masks and snorkels, beach chairs, water shoes. It is a very short walk to the ocean, but that particular area is not a great place to swim. I suggest driving further down to Richardson's. Very pleasant stay and the owner was very responsive to any questions.

Superb location and reasonably priced
You will love the short walks to the ocean and the proximity to Hilo's shopping centre. The host is there to cater to all your needs and help you with any suggestions for sightseeing. I would highly recommend this accommodation.

Hilo Adventure
Both upstairs and down stairs were tastefully furnished with lots of attention to detail. A welcome basket with fruit and Hawaiian bread greeted us on our arrival. There were toiletries for our use and lots of clean towels. We spent much of our time on the upstairs porch with a cooling fan making it very comfortable. It was great to have a “beach” so close to the house-watching the waves and hearing the sea at night was a bonus. The property is close to town which we found very convenient. There is no dining table in the upstairs unit; 3 bar chairs are available for eating. A few grumbles; there was a lack of comfortable seating in the downstairs area-chairs outside are good-guess we could have carried them inside. Bedrooms in the lower unit are very small so it is very hard to walk around the beds-difficult in the middle of the night but the beds are comfy. All in all a good stay-we would come back!

A stone's throw from the ocean, very comfortable, lovely balcony, gardens, and lanai with full barbecue - a true home-away-from-home.

Worth Going to Hilo Just to Stay Here
We felt from the moment we stepped in the front door that we were home! They thought of every little detail and not one thing was forgotten..from fresh Hawaiian flowers and a special bread from a local bakery to ear plugs to soften the delightful sounds in the night of the KoKi frogs. Sitting out on the lanai was a highlight and the surroundings truly made this paradise special!! Would highly recommended staying here and it’s obvious from the care of its owners that they care about making their guests feel very welcome here!! Looking forward to coming back someday...

Beautiful retreat
I loved this property. The yard was so amazing with its fruit trees and flowering plants. The covered patio/gazebo was massive with a built in grill. Our unit had two decks. Perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks. We needed more blankets for an unusual cold spell and the owner was there within a couple hours. Very well stocked and lovingly taken care off. Five stars all the way!
