About this house rental

Beautifully appointed historic (once King Kamehameha's private lands) 1930s estate in close proximity to beaches, Botanical Gardens, Akaka Falls, and everything HiloTown has to offer! Walk to the Wailuku River & the Hilo Bayfront in only a few minutes from our home. Also to note, New kitchen renovation as of July 2019!

Although within walking distance to Hilo town, our diverse and unique neighborhood, Wainaku, has a country feel, with lots of historic homes; it's also quiet and very private.

As we are on the magnificent Wailuku River, our property has a wonderful breeze at all times, and there are a number of beautifully stunning bird species that make our property their home, too.

Also to note: both adjacent neighbors are on 1-acre parcels, which makes our home very peaceful.

Enjoy New King and Queen Serta beds and Belgian linens, and plush cotton towels. Further toiletries include organic shampoo and unscented body lotion by Aveeno, cotton swabs, and cotton balls.

Other amenities include:

•55" LG OLED 4K HDR TV with 200+ HD movies on Apple TV, 400 MB WIFI
•High-end snorkel/beach gear for kids and adults.
•Laundry Center with LG Steam Washer/Dryer
•Two Ice Chests on wheels for BBQing and taking on day outings.
•Propane BBQ in the Screened Lanai

Over 2200 Square feet of living space with a 3/4 acre yard to relax and enjoy your Hawai'ian getaway.

Although we are on the Wailuku River with wonderful breezes, the house is also cooled with a whole house fan, and each room has a ceiling fan, too.

Mahalo.

Wonderful property. Three spacious bedrooms, with plenty of closet space. Two bathrooms with all the amenities. The basement bathroom, in particular, can function almost like a sauna after a day of exploring. Well stocked kitchen. My brother and his partner made an excellent meal - macadamia nut encrusted ono - without any trouble at all. Aesthetically, this property cannot be beat. Plantation era architecture, with hardwood floors and tons of built-ins, adorned with artifacts collected by the owners. And the grounds are amazing. Lush tropical plants in every corner. We spent several mornings sitting under the small garden gazebo listening to birds and watching the local fauna, including wild pigs and a mongoose. Also, there is a wonderful veranda to while away the evenings. Finally, this is a great lication for walking dowtown. The Friday Night Market and Saturday Farmer's Market market are within 15 minutes, as are countless restaurants. A few restaurants necessitate a drive (I recommend Kenichi's) but for the most part you won't need your car to eat or shop. If you twant your rental property to be more than just the place where you hang your hat, this is the place for you. Now for two hints: 1. Have bug spray. The house is well screened, but there are mosquitos in the garden, and you will want to enjoy it. 2. There is adequate snorkeling gear for a brief excursion to the beach. But if you want to make snorkeling a major part your trip, rent some from Hilo Ocean Adventures.

My family and I had a wonderful stay in this house. It was well-equipped with everything we needed for a weeklong stay in the Hilo area. We particularly appreciated the cooler, snorkel gear, and well-stocked kitchen. The lack of air conditioning was not a problem at all, as the whole-house fan and additional fans that were delivered during our stay helped keep the house very comfortable. Kevin was a wonderful host and very responsive. We would definitely recommend this house!

Quiet neighborhood, great home base convenient for walking into town or for exploring further afield. Extra touches of flowers, coffee, etc. were especially appreciated. We also enjoyed the eclectic collection of interesting objects/ art throughout the house. Impressive backyard lychee tree and associated wildlife!
