About this house rental
Aloha!
We are Keone and Yonnell Farias. We were both born and raised here on this wonderful island. We welcome you to our beautiful new home and would be happy to share with you our favorite places. Located in a quiet neighborhood of Waiakea Uka, we are a short 10-minute ride from the airport, 35 minutes to the Volcano, and just a few minutes from local grocery stores and eateries!
Waiākea Uka is translated as "the mountainside" of Waiākea. There are beautiful views of both Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa mountain. The University of Hawaii at Hilo is located in the Waiākea district as well. There are parks and convenience stores within walking distance to the house but a car would be more suitable.
Our house is your home away from home.
We want you to feel at home during your stay. We also respect your privacy. The keypad entry allows you to come and go at your convenience. We live nearby and are only a call or text away for any questions, suggestions, and housekeeping needs you may have.

Everything you need for a great family stay in Hilo. Just be prepared for the coqui frogs. Bring your love of nature or your earplugs at night! The hosts are responsive and accommodating.
4.9
Beautiful home, centrally located to everything we wanted to see/do on the east side of the big island. No AC was not a problem as long as windows were open and fans were going. Only had to shut them all the first night after a rain as the frogs were out in abundance! Other nights were fine. Washer/dryer and other amenities were very useful.
Enjoyed the fresh eggs from the chickens in the coop as well as the snack package you left us. Thanks!

Our family was here for a memorial service and arrived from Georgia, Ohio, Washington DC and Maine (7 adults). UhiWai was the perfect gathering spot for us. We were warmly welcomed by Yonnell and Keone and their home was comfortable with room to spread out. Every possible amenity was thought of and provided. I would happily return.
4.9
You have a very beautiful home. Love the cool air and the location was near everything I needed especially eateries and family. Definitely highly recommending to family and friends. If anything, we would love to come back!

The property is a great little place located in a middle class neighborhood. The location was perfect for all the things we wanted to do on the Hilo side of the Big Island. Volcano National Park and lots of other hiking trails are within a 30 minute drive. There are several beaches/lagoons in close proximity which provide swimming and snorkeling opportunities. This place has all the amenities we needed. There is no AC which made some us a little nervous at first because you’ll want to keep the windows open at night to get the cool breeze, but we ended up liking it because you get to hear the frogs at night and the roosters in the morning which made us feel more connected to the area. We loved Hilo!
4.9
Good location to take advantage of the Hilo area and the east side of the Big Island. Very clean and safe. Beautiful home. Had just about everything we needed during our stay. We would stay here again, book with confidence. Left us a nice welcome package and included a dozen fresh eggs. Very much appreciated. One little thing, there is a gas grill, but if you use it there is an additional cleaning fee. That should have been disclosed in the property description.

My wife and I stayed to attend our daughter’s graduation from UH. The location was perfect, close to everything you need. The house was clean with an open concept. Everything you needed for a perfect stay was provided! Great communication with the owner, what more could one ask for. Mahalo!!!

Very nice

Property is in a very quiet residential neighborhood a ten minute drive from downtown. Kitchen was well equipped and the owners left us a dozen fresh eggs from the coop behind the house.
House was clean and comfortable and you enter through the garage with a clicker so no need for keys or memorizing entry numbers.
Overall a nice place.
4.9
We had an amazing time in Hilo staying at this lovely house that exceeded our expectations. The house was equipped with fantastic amenities, making our family feel right at home. The kitchen had everything we needed, the living room was cozy, and the bedrooms were spacious and well-appointed.
The location of the house was perfect – a peaceful neighborhood close to Hilo's attractions. We could easily explore the town and enjoy its natural beauty.
The property management team was responsive and accommodating, making our experience even better. Overall, we highly recommend this house for a comfortable and convenient stay in Hilo. It truly felt like a home away from home, and we left with wonderful memories of our time in Hawaii.
4.9
Great modern home with comfortable sleeping spaces and open family space. Kitchen served us very well. Enjoyed preparing our own meals and eating at the house.
Great quiet location. Easy access to all the local sites.
4.9
It was a perfect location, as it was just minutes away from our conference location, eating locations, open market and shopping. The home accommodated 6 adult women with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Beautiful setting, very open for the beautiful scenery out the windows in the dining room, kitchen, living room and both bedrooms on the back of the home, with fresh and cool breezes, we were able to sit in the dining room and enjoy each other's company. Definitely a keeper.

Beautiful, nicely updated, clean home near downtown Hilo. The property is located in a quiet neighborhood, which we greatly appreciated. The house is well equipped with everything you could need. This property served as a great hub for exploring Hilo and the surrounding coast.
4.9
Our family of four enjoyed a comfortable stay at this clean, welcoming home. There was plenty of room to spread out, unpack and settle in for a week. We loved the ease of pulling into the garage and loading or unloading our van on our daily excursions. The quiet fans in every room and nice breezes that flowed through the open windows kept the home comfortable. Earplugs at night while the Coqui frogs partied, allowed us restful sleep.
Thank you Yonnell and Keone for welcoming us to Uhi Wai!

A very nice functional home in a quiet neighborhood. It had everything we needed

In addition to enjoying our stay at a great house in a lovely Hilo neighborhood, we were delighted to have beautiful views of Mauna Kea every morning before it was hidden by clouds.
4.9
This home is a gem. Its located in a very quite neighborhood not far from Hilo town. Easy access to the airport, grocery stores and lots of local eateries. This home beautifully upgraded, comfortable and very well taken care of. Having gone to Hilo for work it was beyond perfect after a long day. The property management was very professional and responded immediately to any of our needs.
4.9
My family and I had an amazing stay at Uhi Wai. The unit is so clean, the kitchen is well stocked and the owner was very communicative and easy to reach throughout our stay.
4.9
We stayed for three nights at this really lovely house in Hilo. It looks just as pictured. It's very well-located for getting into Hilo and to the surrounding areas. The host also gave us some oranges from her tree, and homemade malasadas (look them up!). She also provided umbrellas to borrow, a necessity in rainy Hilo. Bring earplugs for the frog noise--it is quite loud.
4.9
Very lovely property, very well kept. Had everything we could think of includung coffee, cookies and a nice backyard. It fantastic to have our first of coffee in the backyard with a view of Mauna Kea
4.9
Our stay at Uhi Wai was exceptional! The rental had everything to make our stay enjoyable. The check-in/out process was so simple. The location of this property was perfect as well, grocery stores, restaurants, the mall and gas stations were minutes away. Our family enjoyed staying at this beautiful well kept home.
4.9
The house was beautifully updated and immaculately clean, which made our stay in Hilo very pleasant. We were a group of 7, spanning 3 generations and had a very comfortable stay. The house was a great base for a trip to Volcanos National Park (45 mins away) and to visit the sights and attractions of Hilo. Big Box stores like Safeway and Target are within a 10 minute drive. Highly recommend this home for anyone wanting to visit Hilo.
4.9
Nicely decorated and furnished, the home had everything we needed. In a nice location where it was a short drive to get to the places we wanted to visit. Home owners were very nice people nd left us a small gift of local snacks.
4.9
We loved this home in Hilo! We found it to be just perfect for our family of four - we used the kitchen every morning and every night to make delicious meals. The neighborhood and house had a very welcoming vibe, and the view of Mauna Kea is spectacular!

A beautiful spacious home in Hilo located in a quiet neighborhood. The only noise that we heard were the coqui frogs at night.We could reduce their sounds by closing the windows.Yonell was a very gracious and considerate host. Everything was provided for a short stay incuding a washer/ dryer.The view was amazing from the backyard, we saw Mauna Loa on a clear day.We enjoyed our stay.

Perfect home for a weekend getaway
A total of 8 of us enjoyed our stay at this outstanding property. It was so clean and equipped with everything you could think of- includiing fresh eggs and a welcome bag of snacks! Communication with the owners was excellent. We initially wanted to stay somewhere close to Volcano but we were so happy we went with this location instead. Highly recommend.
4.9
GREAT STAY!!
Our family from Kauai and Oahu needed a place for 2 nights to attend our son’s graduation from firefighter recruit training. This VRBO was the perfect place for a local family like ours. Extremely well kept and clean. Yonnell was also a great communicator. I highly recommend Uhi Wai and would absolutely stay here again if ever coming back to Hilo.

Home away from home
Wonderful place to stay away from home. Great location puts it minutes from anywhere in Hilo. Owners were a pleasure to work with and communicated very well. They also anticipated most travelers' needs and had everything we needed on hand.
4.9
The rental house was great and met the needs of my family. Though we were not there much…there are so many things to do on Hawaii island, we enjoyed our stay there very much.

Memorial Day - Vacation
The property location is awesome, it is in the local hub of things and places. I love that the owners used sound proof windows because the croqui frogs get loud at night. The owners live behind you on the same lot. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with exception to the dining area. There is no privacy because no curtain was placed. The owners and their family can see what you’re doing if they wanted to, not that we were doing anything wrong. It’s just a privacy thing, especially when we dine with our family we wanted that. Mahalo to the owners for allowing us to stay in their beautiful home!
4.9
Loved the layout of the house, spacious garage, bathroom amenities, and views from the house! This is definitely a cozy home vibe, perfect as a base for the Volcanoes National Park and downtown Hilo.
4.9
This house was the perfect choice for our family. It was immaculately clean - floors, bathrooms, kitchen, everything. The house was incredibly well stocked - cooking essentials and extras, a cooler, beach towels, beach gear, and more. We even noticed that they had lots of things for people traveling with babies.
All of the beds were comfortable. Water pressure in the bathrooms was good. The washer and dryer are nice, full-size models. The kitchen appliances are also really nice and in excellent condition.
As Texans, it was an adjustment for us to leave windows open instead of having an air conditioner, but I grew to really enjoy the fresh air and the island sounds. Light sleepers might struggle with the local frog songs, but that seems to just be a part of life around Hilo. Closing the windows blocks the sound almost completely.
My entire family loved this house and agreed that it was the best place we stayed on the Big Island. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
