Beach house vacation rentals in Hilo

Michael’s place is very accommodating with all the amenities described. My family travelled from several different locations to be together here and it all worked perfectly. I was bummed that the other visiting guests not staying there could not use the pool, but I understand the liability and respect the rules. All in all, it was a wonderful trip!

The place was gorgeous, we enjoyed the pool and lime tree!! Would stay again. great location to visit my brother.

Beautiful home and wonderful host. We had everything we needed or could ask for. Mari was a perfect host answering any questions, providing many local recommendations and even met us at checkin to show us her home. The view was magnificent, opening the doors in the morning and sipping on coffee on the deck watching the sun rise was my daily ritual. It was a nice surprise to have chairs and snorkeling equipment available to us. Grocery and Walmart minutes away for quick pickup items. The must see sights were just 10-20 minutes away. We visited the caves, snorkeling in the bay, national park and the gardens.

We have been to Hawaii 15 times and this was our favorite home to enjoy. Everything from the spacious, beautifully landscaped yard and comfy lanai (even with a fan!) down to the soft cotton sheets and towels was so enjoyable and made us feel so cared for and simply in paradise. I also appreciated the condiments in the fridge, coffee and soy sauce in the cupboard. It was lovely having Michelle across the street and we enjoyed some coconuts from the property. The ocean was a 5 minute walk and was spectacular. We will surely return. Thank you, Michelle! Aloha!

Beautiful, quiet property with stunning ocean views. It was perfect for our family of 5 and has great access to many of the activities on the east side of the island.

This was the perfect house for our stay on the west side. Well-furnished, comfortable beds & linens and so much space for our family to spread out and relax. The property was a quiet retreat, yet still a great location to enjoy hiking and other activities. Do not pass up the opportunity to stay here!!

Our group of 10 stayed here for 5 days and had a great experience. The house was super spacious, clean, and comfy—plenty of room for everyone to relax without feeling crowded. The full kitchen and washer/dryer were big pluses and made the stay feel easy and homey. The neighborhood was quiet and full of nature, with long roads perfect for a morning jog—I loved running along the scenic volcanic coastline. Communication with Diana was smooth and friendly, a big contrast to a previous host I’d contacted. She even had someone meet us to give a quick tour, which was really helpful. The pool and jacuzzi were awesome bonuses, but what really sold me was the space and thoughtful amenities. Highly recommend!

Beautiful home on the peaceful Hamakua Coast. Our family enjoyed a wonderful and quiet staycation - the pool was delightful and temp was just right with the cool ocean breeze. Kitchen was stocked with basic essentials making cooking easy. Very comfortable sleep spaces - cool breeze at night with windows open. Loved every minute! Suzy was very friendly and responsive. The grounds were so beautiful - lots of flowers and fruits surrounding us. I highly recommend this home as your next getaway. I will stay here again. Thank you Suzy and Peter!

Lovey decor, beautiful flowers, great location!

Perfect place for our family of six spanning three generations. Great spot to explore the south and east side of the island. Volcano Nat Park was close by and Hilo definitely is a foodie paradise! More rain equals more vegetation and beautiful flora and fauna. Brian’s place manages to incorporate the amenities of modern luxury living with the surrounding natural wonders seamlessly.

We had a party of 6 which included a 6 and 9 year old. The home was clean, especially the bathrooms and kitchen you felt right at home. Although no AC it was still comfortable with the fans and we would be out during the day where it was hot the most. The tv was available and the kids enjoyed it. Loves how there was lots of sitting space and layout of the house. Two bathrooms helped so much with the 6 of us. The outside porch was terrific too. Labels on the light switches helped and were thoughtful. A very convenient location. Thankful for airbnbs available like yours !

Pali Hale was pure magic. Perched on a cliff with breathtaking ocean views, the energy of the waves made for a serene, unforgettable stay. The home was spotless, with fresh sea breezes and subtle Hawaiian scents setting the perfect tone. Reading and meditating on the patios was a dream, and the hosts were incredibly responsive, providing great local guides. Thoughtful touches like music on arrival made it even more special. An ideal retreat for family—truly unforgettable!

We had a wonderful stay! The location was fantastic and the views were absolutely stunning. The space was beautifully decorated, cozy, and well thought out. The host was very communicative and made everything easy from start to finish. We’d love to come back!

Joe & Cindy’s home was absolutely breathtaking. Photos cannot possibly do justice to the beautiful view and immaculate home. Our hosts were very responsive and friendly. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful house across the toad from Kehena Beach. The rooms were beautiful and the bathrooms were immaculate. Kitchens were stocked with dishes, glasses and utensils and much more. Loved sitting on the lanai. Beautiful view of the ocean. Walking distance to the drum circle on the lawn. Just a fantastic stay!

An amazing house in a beautiful part of the island. We loved the shared and separate spaces. Would definitely stay here if we are in the area again. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend it!

What a great place! Very easy to get to, spacious, comfortable, and well appointed. Gabriel is a gracious host who really wants to ensure his guests make the MOST of their stay in the Puna district. His recs are spot on, and the home is a great home base for a couple or family (or a group of girls!) exploring the area. The garage is a welcome feature - we all know it rains a lot on the east side of the island but not needing to dodge raindrops while bringing in luggage or groceries or returning after a long day of exploring is really ono. We enjoyed nights on the lanai, breakfast too. A short walk to the cliffs (and one more block over to see a cool sea arch) to see Kanaloa battle Pele each morning is a mana-filled way to start each day. Mahalo nui loa! Until next time…

The grounds are stunningly beautiful, and so is the house. We had lovely ocean views in some of the bedrooms, and having air conditioning in the common area was appreciated with our group of mostly middle-aged women. The beds were super comfortable, we loved the private bathrooms in each bedroom, and the house was well appointed. The check in and check out process was easy peasy. We interacted with two women (Moon and June), both of whom were lovely and very responsive–especially June. There were a couple issues with some of the appliances, and we weren’t able to use them during our stay. But June and Moon made up for it in other ways. The house does smell a bit of mold, which is to be expected for an older home in a humid environment. While it did bother my sensitive lungs, fortunately, none of the rest of our family noticed. Overall, we had a wonderful time and very much enjoyed our stay at this property–we’ll definitely come back next time we’re on the Big Island!

If I could give 10 stars out of 5 I would. I had to book last minute and Jon was so accommodating. While he couldn’t help me with same day booking he gave me a nearby recommendation and when I asked if I could adjust my booking for the next day he helped me do so. The space was very peace and beautiful. The balcony was great for birding, relaxing, and eating our meals. It was the perfect respite we needed. Jon also had such a kind and relax presence about him that made you feel great about being on his property:)

The place was very nice. It looks like a vintage house but fully remodeled with all the amenities of a new house. It would have been a challenge to find using a map app but Jeff provided detailed instructions and we found it easy to navigate to the house. The house is near the end of a quiet lane so there was no traffic. There were a variety of wildlife outside the house including geckos, lizards and little chirping frogs to add to the experience.

The place was great. The neighborhood was quiet and easy to find. The place was very clean and was very roomy. We loved the balcony! The host was easy to get in touch with and very friendly. The only drawback is that because of the speed limit and route it was further from Hilo and Volcano national park than I expected. The drive was extremely pretty thought so overall it was a great place to stay!

Great little place in the jungle absolutely loved it!!!!! The space was perfect for me (the upstairs unit) and there was good air flow and lighting with proper fans. It was a little cooler than I expected and had to grab a small blanket from the closet. Grace let me extend my stay for an hour due to a yoga class I was attending ending later than expected. She was very kind and communicated with me as I arrived via text making getting acquainted much more peaceful. I felt safe and would highly recommed

This house is a delight! From the beautiful decor to the view of the ocean, the sound of the waves and the perfect location. Can’t wait to come back! Yes please!

We had a great stay at Fawni’s house. The location is spectacular - right by the water in the lava flows, offering a completely unique Hawaii experience. The house was the perfect base for exploring the Big Island, with a full kitchen, laundry, and screened-in porch that made us feel right at home. What made it truly special was walking to the water for sunrise and sunset - unforgettable moments we'll treasure forever. Despite no AC, fans and nighttime breezes kept us comfortable. Highly recommend for travelers seeking authentic Big Island beauty and a peaceful oceanside escape!
