Great location near Hilo and Volcanoes National Park. Super communication with hosts and easy check-in and out. Well-stocked house and was very private. Would highly recommend if exploring east side of island.

We loved every part of our stay at this property. The house was equipped with everything you could possibly need. The beds were extremely comfortable and all areas of the house were perfect for both family time and just relaxing with a good book. The loft area was a bit warmer than the other areas of the house but were equipped with extra fans that came in handy. Best part of each day was the sunrise and set just relaxing on the lanai with a cup of coffee. The location is far enough away from the world but close enough if you want to go explore.

What an amazing stay! From the lovely welcome basket of goodies to the gorgeous ocean views, this stay had everything! The balcony views were a highlight…we enjoyed early morning sightings of spinner dolphins as well as amazing nighttime views of the full moon. This place had just about every amenity we could ask for. It was a great distance from both Hilo and Volcano and this was a perfect jumping off point for all of our outdoor adventures. Absolutely would stay here again!!

This is a wonderful home to stay in. When I read "fully stocked" in other reviews, I had no idea what they meant until I arrived. There wasn't one thing we needed that we couldn't find in a cabinet or kitchen drawer. It truly felt like we were visiting our friend's home, junk drawer and all! Tina and Dave even provide a computer, which we used to plan our day. The gift basket of soap, cookies, and coffee was wonderful and so thoughtful (and the cookies are fantastic). The views from the lanai were perfect - we saw multiple rainbows over the ocean, and a few nene birds. We spent a lot of time on the lanai, but it does get hot when the sun comes up as there is no shade at all. The house is a bit far from everywhere that you'll want to go, but it is centrally located between VNP and Hilo, which was nice. I don't think that there's any one location on the island where you can stay and not have to drive a lot, as it is definitely a "big" island. We tried to go to Kaleo's Bar and Grill in Pahoa, but they were closed - not sure if that was for the day or the season, but I would call ahead if you go there, as Google thought they should be open. The house is very peaceful and in a quiet location. If you turn off all of the lights in the house and look up at the sky, you can see an infinite number of stars. It's a great place to unwind and enjoy your vacation. Mahalo to Tina and Dave for inviting us into your home!

This house was everything we needed. We loved the area and hospitality.

We stayed here in July and just loved the house. Very roomy, comfortable and wonderful spot right on the cliffs overlooking the ocean. Beautiful garden, nice quiet neighborhood …. House has everything you will need for a relaxing stay.

Clean, comfortable, well appointed, ample supplies available, unbelievable views from the house and deck overlooking the ocean. We had a wonderful, relaxing stay. We had everything we needed at our disposal. Furnishings were very comfortable. We did a lot of sightseeing and it was great to come home to such a welcoming place. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Hilo.

We enjoyed our stay in this cute little house. It was very clean and well appointed. It is a little off the main tourist path so there was a bit more driving involved than we had expected, but nothing awful. All in all we were very comfortable.

This was a great property with an amazing view. I was a bit worried prior to staying because there was no a/c, but it really was manageable. The breeze off the ocean was incredible and air really moved through the house well to keep it comfortable. The house was very clean and well stocked. The owners were really great about keeping touch prior to and during out stay, they clearly want your experience to be good. They even left a little gift basket with water, soaps, and some cookies. Definitely would be staying here again!

We stayed here while checking out the big island as a new place to live and the home was perfect and really helped us fall in love with the area and the island. Tina was super helpful and immediately responsive with any questions. The house is gorgeous and definitely worth it.

Great location, the listing does not compare to actually experiencing the heavenly sounds and sights you are blessed with at this well stocked, clean, updated, safe place you are lucky enough to call home. Will definitely be staying here again. Can’t wait to be back.

We stayed at Hale Kailani for a month over Christmas 2021 and it was our perfect home away from home! It was even better than the pictures and we were very pleased to find it exceptionally clean when we arrived. We’ve also not ever seen such a well appointed VRBO. They really had thought of everything from extra toothbrushes, suntan lotion, most things you would want for cooking, and even umbrellas! Tina and David were super responsive and easy to communicate with and gave us lots of recommendations and things to see and do. The views from the lanai were amazing and we spent a lot of time on it searching for whales and spinner dolphins, or star gazing at night. We also enjoyed falling asleep to the sounds of the Coqui frogs! Overall, it was a fabulous vacation, and we would stay here again without a doubt!

Everything was perfect, no issues. House is as described, and is truly a lovely house. The lanai is not covered, so if it rains when you are there, you pretty much have to stay inside. It would be a bit close if 6 people were staying there and it rained a lot. Overall, we loved it and would like to stay again.

This house was the perfect Hilo house to stay. Amazing location right on the coast with amazing ocean view - pod of dolphins swam by one morning. The moonrise is spectacular from the deck. Everything about the house is top notch. The communication with the owners was great. Staying at this house made the trip that much better.

Well stocked with essentials, very homey; livability: comfortable and attractive surroundings. Living so close to the ocean is an awesome privilege.

This home is so much better than pictures and words can describe! The ocean view is breathtaking, everything was very clean, and so many amenities that are greatly appreciated. They have shampoo and conditioner in both bathrooms (plus much more), salt, pepper, and other condiments in the kitchen, which many vrbo homes have not had in the past when we've stayed. The decor is beautiful, and they even have aromatherapy pillow spray by the beds if wanted. We highly recommend this home!

This home is located in the most stunning location. I will never forget the views from the back porch of the lava rock coastline and waves crashing against it. The house has lovely, beach decor and feels modern. We had a great time here and would go back.

Beautiful view of ocean. Communication with owner was easy. Good location between Hilo and Volcano National Park.

The home had amazing views with an awesome sunrise. You might get lucky with some views of the moon on the water. Home was very comfortable when a good breeze came through with nice amenities. Everything was very clean.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. It was clean, comfortable, cozy and the view off the lanai is simply unbeatable. The beds are comfy and the house is pretty much supplied with everything. Just need your clothes, but hey, you are in Hawaii and don’t need much of that either. Thank you again for sharing your amazing house!
