We got in early and the house was available for us, it was bringing a lot of memories back for us, we’re originally from Hilo house lot area. The house was very clean and the neighborhood is in an area to get around very easily. We’ll be coming back around March 2023, and hopefully the property will be available.

Went on a family trip. Visiting family and friends from mt view to paradise Park to paipaiko. The location for this was perfect, right in the middle. Living in hilo many years ago made it easy to navigate the triangle. The house was easy to find and easy to get back on the road for adventures.

Nice home with all the amenities. Comfortable beds, front room, dining room, kitchen. Very close to Hilo and saddle rd. Thom is very kind and extremely helpful. We look forward to next year.

The property is well kept and clean and it met our needs for the weekend. Thom was excellent. Only drawback the greenery needs to be cut back a little more on the right side. It is hard to see oncoming traffic when coming out of driveway. Other than that we enjoyed our stay here very much.

Stayed at this property for 4 nights. Plenty of space for a family of four. Great location in safe and quiet neighborhood.

The only problem I had is that I wasn’t aware that the shower in the house wasn’t working only the shower outside by the laundry room. Over all everything was fine and expected had no other problems.

Experience was great . Quiet and cool.

Convenient location, close to Hilo town. Great host communication. Comfortable accommodations.

The location of the property near the U of Hawaii was near all the conveniences, including a big grocery store and a short distance away from Liliuokalani Park which we was our "rave" (inside joke) spot every morning to start our day. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the conveniences which included a rice cooker (a must for some of us!). Thom the property manager was thoughtful, prompt, and went above and beyond to make sure that everything was in order and even provided us with brand new beach chairs in response to our question if the property had some beach chairs we could use. Also, having two separate bathrooms was a plus! As city folks, we weren't quite used to chickens/roosters screeching starting at 1:15 a.m., but eventually got used to them and wasn't a big problem. But, if you are a light sleeper, use the ear plugs that were provided.

We absolutely loved this place! The host was wonderful and kept in touch if we needed anything. Property is beautiful, clean, and has everything you need. Close to all Hilo entertainment and dinning options and plenty of parking for two/three cars. Large backyard, with grill and fruit trees. Thank you so much for sharing with us. We will be returning!

It was the perfect place. My daughter is attending UHH and it was literally down the street from the house. The house is conveniently located to a lot of the food hot spots and very close the the KTA grocery store. The owner is very accommodating and would always check up on us via text if we needed anything and to text him if there are any issues. He has such a big heart that he mentioned before we left not to throw any food because he feeds the homeless. I made spaghetti the other night and made too much. I too hate throwing food away and knowing that he was going to give it to the homeless just made our stay even more special.

The manager of the property (Thom) was extremely responsive and helpful during our stay. The property is centrally located for trips to Hilo, Volcanic National Park and Mauna Kea.

Charming clean fully equipped home. Comfortable nice neighborhood close to grocery store. Home away from home. Will definitely stay there again

We had a great time. My grandson lives in Hilo so he showed us all around Perhaps a little less rain next time but otherwise a good time was had by all

We loved the convenience of being in town and ease of getting to and from. One draw back was the street it's a major road with large trucks, and local traffic so reversing into the driveway requires skill and patience. We were grateful to spend time with my family and the house was comfy, had a large kitchen to cook, and the backyard was a perfect retreat. A great house to stay at in Hilo. We will definitely rent the property again when we come home to Hawai''i. Thank you Evolve, Thom, and VRBO.

Great vacation rental, perfect for my family and spacious enough for five. Centrally located and convenient location for traveling. Thank you!

This home was large enough to accommodate 4 adults and is very simple and homey. Loved the big yard and being able to sit out back and enjoy the birds and lizards. Didn't need an alarm clock in the morning as the neighborhood chickens made sure we were up. The home has everything one needs to make meals with an outdoor grill available. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to anyone that wants to be close to convenience and shopping.

Great place for our family. Everything was as described. One thing to note: the place is on a fairly busy and fast road which is something we're not used to and we noticed the noise. I'm sure lots of folks who are used to urban living wouldn't think twice about it.

This is a clean, comfortable, well-appointed home about two miles from the center of Hilo. The home sits on a nice lot with kitchen and small dining area, a comfortable living room, and three bedrooms that will sleep five comfortably. The only downside is it sits on a road that can very busy at rush hour, but this only a small annoyance. The furnishings are comfortable, the kitchen is well-stocked for cooking and serving complete meals, and the on-site washer and dryer are convenient. Most rooms have a modern, high-volume ceiling fan to keep air moving, but in the more humid summer months the afternoons will get warm. Thankfully, its upslope location catches the early evening breezes to cool things down. We travel often to Hilo to visit relatives, and this property will be on our short list of places we will look forward to returning to.

Our family of 4 had a great time at this very clean, bright, and convenient home! Loved having two bathrooms, being able to open the windows, usage of the fully-stocked kitchen, and new appliances. The house is so close to everything in Hilo- we enjoyed great snorkeling and swimming (Richardson and others), surfing (Honoli'i & rented at Orchid Surf Shop), shaved ice (Original Big Island truck down the street- don't miss it!), ramen (Tetsumen), sushi on a conveyor (Genki Sushi), the fishing shop (Takunagas), and the Hilo's farmers market! It was an easy drive up the coast, as well as to the Volcano. Such a great spot- in fact, this was my second stay! Highly recommend.

very nice

Thank you for the fabulous time in Hilo! it was my 1st time on the Big Island and I loved the local food, beaches, turtles and fish, farmer's market, movie theater, and Volcano! This island has it all. So does this home- loved the shower downstairs, the awesome fans, the breeze through the windows, and the chirping frogs at night. I can't wait to come back!
