Property was lovely and Claudia was extremely helpful. Multiple units made it the perfect place for our family trip. Great outdoor space and beach at the end of the street.

This property is better than the pictures depict. Lots of privacy and just steps away from the beach. Clean, comfortable and spacious. Our favorite parts were the singing frogs and multiple outdoor spaces. We plan to visit again.

The three separate living quarters were great. Having a common outdoor area to sit & talk or cook on grill or just sit alone to read was used by all. We had seven adults and each one were thrilled to have time to themselves or join in a group to walk five minutes to beach for great photo ops.

The photos did not do this property justice. We were blown away by the cleanliness, quietness and overall enjoyable atmosphere. We divided our family between this home and another in Hilo. We spent together time here on the patio for a reason. We will definitely recommend this home to anyone visiting Hilo. The Hamilton’s

Had a wonderful time with family here. So grateful that we found this place. Would highly recommend this place

Great for our party of 10 three families total had their own space and the outside area was a great gathering place. The home was clean and well maintained with close proximity to kid friendly beaches. The bread and bananas waiting for us were a big hit. The cove was peaceful and just a short walk from the house. Highly recommend this location especially if you need separate areas for multiple families. Only issue was the vacation was not long enough. Thank you Claudia for sharing your home.

Beautiful, well appointed property for large family or several smaller groups. We had 7 adults and two toddlers and rented all three units. Units were well decorated, comfortable and clean. Grounds were beautiful and very usable. Lots of comfortable spots to sit or eat outside. Property within walking distance of beautiful little beach park. Would definitely stay here again.

Claudia’s sweet home is a perfect place for a large family or a group traveling together. After a day of exploring the Volcano National Park or hiking in the rain forest to a beautiful coastal bluff it was so nice to come “home” to Hale Nani Ma Ka Lihi Kai. Lovely amenities both inside and out. The home is well stocked and has lots of beach equipment available. Sweet touches like taro bread and bananas left for guests. Thank you so much Claudia!!

The house is quintessential Hawaiian and perfect for our group of six adults with its three separate units (and outdoor private bathroom!). The grounds, full of coconut palms, papaya trees, pineapples and orchids, is idyllic. A small beach is just steps away, a beautiful place to take a dip during high tide or explore at low tide.

Really enjoyed the property, especially the outdoor space. The set up was perfect for our adult family, with 3 separate "units" for the family members to spread out and have a little room. Unfortunately we had rain our entire stay, but had it not, we would have taken advantage of the large lawn space more.

This house is immaculate. I highly recommend. It is in a fabulous location has all the amenities you need and the bread left for us was delicious and a nice extra touch. I would definitely stay there again.

This is an excellent VRBO. The house is very clean, comfortable, and well equipped without being fussy. We were a group of six and there was plenty of room, both to gather and to have your own area. The yard is beautiful and there is plenty of outdoor space. The location is great. The owners always responded promptly from booking through checkout.

We really enjoyed our stay at Hale Nani Ma Ka Lihi Kai! House was so immaculate and had everything we needed! We loved the studio and was happy that each family had their own space. We also loved the pavilion and how close we were to the beach! Claudia was so responsive to all our questions, check in was a breeze! We wish our trip lasted longer! Loved it all and hope we can return again in the future!

This was a great way for our family to be together while having our own spaces. It was just a walk to the end of the dead-end street to the most beautiful view of the ocean. Claudia is fantastic. When we arrived, our plane came in late, but she called when we landed to let us know that we would need to take a different route to get to the house. She's very communicative (unlike the other property we rented). We loved all of the outdoor spaces to have dinner or sit on the porch to have coffee first thing in the morning. I loved our stay here!

This house has everything you need. They provide plenty of towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkel gear, a beautiful space to grill. Volcano National park is just 30 min away and rainbow falls is only 15 min away.

Great property for staying in Hilo. A short walk to the rocky coastline with tidepools for keiki and a short drive to the extraordinary dining, shopping, parks, and beaches of downtown Hilo. There is a very nice outdoor covered patio area and excellent through the wall AC in all rooms. The upstairs1BR is quite nice and was our gathering place for inside meals and conversation. The downstairs 2BR is a bit cavelike - fine for sleeping but no one wanted to hang out there. The Studio we didn't get to see despite the info in the listing. Which brings me to the caveat. Nowhere in the listing does it say that you won't be given access to the entire property if you don't meet the owner's expectation on number of guests - she rented out the studio to someone else during our stay. We expected to put our eldest daughter in the studio. We had dreams of putting my wife's mom in the studio but didn't really believe she would be able to join us on the Big Island in these COVID ridden times until we met her at HNL. But when we arrived we found that our keycode didn't work on the studio. So our daughter very kindly slept on the sofa in the downstairs living room. I honestly don't know how you would book this property if you have 4-5 people and expect to get the entire place without other guests in the studio.

Beautiful place. Everything we needed. Grandkids had a ball. Beach beautiful

Vacation rental Was very comfortable and very well decorated. Especially enjoyed the gazebo. Also very quiet except for the frogs.

We had a really good time, very clean, gazebo was awesome to eat under in the evening rain. Grilled fresh fish from the market just a few minutes down the road. The owners checked on us a few times to make sure we had everything we wanted.

Location here was fantastic! You could walk to the close beach or drive very short distances to black sand beaches and fantastic snorkeling. It was close to town and farmers markets. We did volcano national park and got there in 40 min. The house had plenty of space with so many convenient appliances for cooking at home. The place was very clean. Communication with the owner was great and she was happy and helpful! I would definitely bring my family back!

Immaculate property with every amenity you can think of. So many patios and a/c coolers in every room. We loved catching toads and falling asleep to the Coqui frog sounds. The gazebo was amazing. Every switch in the house is labelled for clarity. Beach is easily accessible at end of street. Sea turtle seen swimming in nearby lagoon. Wish it hadn't rained every day but it's Hilo!

We were a group of 6 and it was the perfect location. The property had 3 different living spaces that perfectly accommodated the 3 groups of 2 that we had. We were able to grill each night in the gazebo and enjoy the beautiful weather. The beach is seconds from the house and we walked down each morning to watch the waves crash on the rocks. The neighbors brought us fresh fruit from their trees which was so kind. I loved this house and location would recommend it to anyone who wants a quite residential location with multiple living spaces, beach next door, and a 10 minute drive to downtown Hilo. Thank you so much, we are so grateful for the time and space provided!!

Property was perfect for our family. Layout was great. Property had all the amenities we needed. Mahalo

The home had every amenity you could think of, it was perfect for family gatherings. It rained daily while we were there, but watching the rain with a coffee or cocktail in hand from many of the outdoor covered areas was enjoyable. The property was filled with fruit trees, plants and flowers. The frog chirps came out in the evenings, and the geckos joined us outside daily, we enjoyed their company. According to our 5 and 8 year old grand kids, it was the "BEST Vacation home ever"! We all agreed, Mahalo!

This property is more beautiful in person. The hale is perfect for a relaxing getaway!

I booked this place for my family visiting. They enjoyed their stay here and said “ better than the resort in Kona”. There is a wonderful BBQ gazebo here. Hilo has nice rainy weather sometimes but no problem, you can have BBQ anytime. There are beautiful beaches around the place. Only few steps to take to the nearest one! The units are clean and comfy, the yard is well maintained. I would like to recommend this place for other people too.

This property was perfect for our group of 7. Everyone had there own unit with a kitchen yet we could congregate at the outdoor bbq area for dinner. A small beach was a two minute stroll with lots of shade. Very close to old Hilo. We loved it !!

we enjoyed the stay very much. Good access to the beaches, nice yard and grill. I enjoyed hearing something of the history of the house. to he beaches

So much attention to detail and thoughtfulness goes into this home. It had everything we needed and more. The beach toys along with coolers were a huge blessing. Really enjoyed our stay and the location. Great beaches within minutes. Highly recommend!

Our family of 7 enjoyed our stay at this property very much. The check in and out process was easy, the property was immaculate, the kitchenettes were well stocked, the beds were so comfortable, and everything was in working order. The grounds are beautiful and the beach park across the street was breathtaking. Thank you Claudia for allowing us to stay in your beautiful Hilo haven. (And a very special thanks for quickly coming to our rescue when we accidentally locked ourselves out).

The property owners have though of and provided everything visitors could possibly need to make our stay a comfortable and enjoyable experience. This house truly felt like a home away from home. Transactions were seamless, and it was a pleasure to do business with Claudia.

Nestled in a quiet location with easy access to the beach, Hilo and the airport. Our family used and enjoyed all three units . We especially loved the decks and covered patios, the short walk to the beach and nearby restaurants. I highly recommend this property, even if you need only one of the three units. It is nicely decorated, clean, comfortable and beautifully landscaped.
