I can’t say enough about the amazing plantation house! Our daughter and her family joined us for part of our stay. We spent evenings in the large screened in porch, enjoying the skies and all the fun night sounds. Even the frogs😉 loved the little black and white cat that visited us daily! The location was ideal for us as well. Able to drive to the volcano park easily. And along to coast to Waimea We would definitely recommend My Hilo House!

We loved staying at this lovely vacation home. It was clean, comfortable and cozy! So much Hilo charm. Huge space, especially loved the wrap around screened-in porch. We hope to return in the future.

A very spacious plantation house with character and charm. Well-equipped kitchen with lots of prep space. Little bit of noise from traffic on the road, but otherwise lovely and quiet. Pleasant outdoor lanai to enjoy the lush gardens. Minor suggestions: the grill could use a clean and some paintwork needs to be done in the kitchen and bathrooms. Overall, a great place to stay on the outskirts of Hilo with a view of the harbor.

The property was better than described, within walking distance of downtown Hilo. The 1926-built home has a gigantic front lawn and a screened-in gigantic patio with a view of Hilo Bay. Kitchen has all the pots, pans, etc you will need for any meals you decide to cook while you are staying....also a gas grill in a covered gazebo just off of the kitchen. Property was clean, well-maintained, & a fun place to stay. Had a question on keys that was answered quickly by the owner. I highly recommend this place for anyone spending some time in Hilo. As far as dining....read and follow Yelp reviews.

My Hilo Home was everything and more than we expected.It truly was our home away from home.Minutes from downtown Hilo but seemed miles away -peaceful,quiet and the grounds are lovely.We picked oranges and passionfruit from the yard.Fabulous place!

Our 2nd time staying in this wonderful home. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I stayed here for 4 nights during September whilst visiting the East of the island including Hilo and The Volcanoes National Park along with my wife and son and we all loved the place. The house is full of history and interest with its large open and airy rooms, tall ceilings and huge veranda and we really enjoyed staying here. The kitchen is huge and well stocked (though it takes a while to work out where everything is with so many cupboards). The main living room is huge and wonderful to spend an evening in and the bedrooms are large and all the beds we used were really comfortable.There is no air con in this house and getting home each evening the place was warm but we found that by opening windows and doors and turning on the ceiling fans the place quickly cooled down and was a very pleasent place to be each evening.We loved the garden, the views from the property and watching all the local wildlife and whilst the frogs were pretty noisy each evening we quickly got used to it and we all slept well each night.It was a pleasure dealing with Saltwater who have made the whole process very easy so thank you for that.All in all it has been a great experience to spend a few days at this lovely property and my family and I would thoroughly recommend a stay here if ever you come to East Hawai’i.Thank you.

Enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home with a fantastic view of Hilo bay. Property was close to all of things we wanted to do. This home will be on our list to stay again when we come back

Our family enjoyed the comfort and spaciousness of the home, especially the screened in porch. We spent our time between the porch and the kitchen when we were home. The reservation staff is very attentive and promptly responded to me when I reached out. Thank you, Kekela!! Everyone, especially my granddaughters, loved Betty, the cat. She is the sweetest. Enjoyed the various fruits on the property and occasional romps of the wild boar family. very relaxing home after daily beach time and sight seeing.

It was a lovely place and we really enjoyed our stay there and would be happy to recommend it to others.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at "My Hilo Home" was very pleasant and fulfilled all our expectations. The home is very spacious and comfortable. The seven of us had ample room. We enjoyed the well-lighted and well-appointed kitchen which had all that we needed to prepare meals. The covered and screened deck was a favorite place for the family to have our meals.We definitely recommend this conveniently located home as a wonderful Hawaiian rental.

Most of the time pictures on VRBO make the house look bigger than it actually is...not the case here! This place is great! Wonderful kitchen with fantastic view, awesome screened in porch and comfortable beds! Easy access to Hilo town and just a 2 mile run up to Rainbow Falls. We had such a relaxing time! Note: there is a really sweet kitty who apparently is not supposed to be fed but sure is a lover!

Beautiful place to stay.

Lots of room to spread out. We loved the Lanai💕

House was clean and well stocked but yard was overgrown almost to the knees. We had 4 children under 12 that could not play outside. Called the property manager who said she’ll request yard work but no one came. Our stay was for one week.

Overall we really enjoyed our trip to Hawaii, but we spent most of our time away from the house. Upon arrival, it was very warm inside, even with all of the windows open and fans running; after the first day, the weather cooled off a bit and got cloudier, which seemed to help with the indoor temperature for the rest of our stay. While some may very much enjoy the charm/rustic nature of this house, it wasn't exactly what we were expecting - the frogs at night were extremely loud, we dealt with flying termites and ants in the bedrooms and kitchens, and we encountered multiple geckos in the kitchen, which left their droppings on various surfaces (and if not cleaned up promptly, a stream of ants would soon be seen). A cat also came by every time we ate a meal in the home, which was a bit of a nuisance. On the plus side, it was located very close to downtown Hilo and Rainbow Falls, and it was about a 45 minute drive to Volcanoes National Park (which was awesome!). Overall it wasn't a great fit for us, and we would not stay again. However, if you're into more of a camping/rustic feel, I think you'd be quite satisfied.

We loved My Hilo home. It was very convenient located. My family and I loved to take breakfast at the kitchen nook and diners in the screen porch. It was truly a pleasure to be there. Thank you.

Lovely home and location. Would do again. Great for a family.

Our family and us all traveled from Texas to Hawaii to celebrate our wedding. This house was perfect for our needs and allowed us to all stay in one location together. We loved the fact the house had alot of charm and enjoyed the porch and views. We had to contact the house management a couple of times and they were easy to get ahold of and promply addressed our needs. They were very personable as well. Thank you for such a great experience.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is a really close drive to town but is nicely secluded.

It's secluded and quiet but very close to town. The house is clean and comfortable and has everything you need for a wonderful stay in one of the best cities Hawaii has to offer. Would definitely recommend!

Nice place but more essentials would be nice ie. Toilet paper, condiments, foil and the bbq was filthy and wouldn't heat up.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental property in a perfect location that was close to everything in town. The house had a lot of character and was very charming. It felt almost secluded with the location that it was in. Neighbors weren't to close and it was quiet. The only time we needed to contact the property manager for an issue she was on top of it and continued to make our stay very comfortable.

Very pleasant house, withe large rooms, with nice furniture. The kitchen is a bit old and there are only 2 restrooms in the bathrooms, for 8 person's it's not enough.

We appreciated staying at My Home in Hilo. Everything about it was excellent but especially the veranda and the kitchen. The location and ambiance of the space was perfect. So appreciated the super responsiveness of the management company. We have already recommended this space to others who we know visit the Big Island...and look forward to our own return.

This home was just what we were looking for, clean, very comfortable and in a great location. It had a great porch and plenty of space. We will be sure to visit again.

The house is truly remarkable - a historic gem that doesn't disappoint. The large kitchen has a wonderful view and you can spend a lot of time on the Lanai and soak in both old and new. Great place with lots of room and tons and charm!

This was such a great property. Our favorite part was the huge screened patio. The kitchen was perfect for our needs. We stayed their with our two adult children, two parents, and one boyfriend. We never felt crowded and all slept really well. Location is perfect. Just a few minutes from town but had a country feel bing out on a private farm road.

we enjoyed our stay at the house. it was very clean and the location was great. we had a problem with one of the toilets and it was resolved within a couple hours. we would definitely stay here again if we ever get back there and would highly recommend to friends and family. thank you for a great experieice.
