House vacation rentals in Hilo

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

The view alone is worth the price! Everything was so lush and beautiful! We felt like we were in our very own private resort. We enjoyed the spacious house itself and the outdoor area. The pool was great and the beds were super comfortable! This was a great base to explore the entire Big Island of Hawaii! I would recommend this home to anyone! Just book it already!

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 enjoyed the private and peaceful location and it worked out well for our brief stay on that side of the island with a reasonable drive to some areas that were just too far from the west side of the island. The bed was comfortable and we appreciated the AC as my husband gets hot and sweaty at night without it. The frogs were loud at night but the fan helped cover the noise so we appreciated it. We didn't get the chance to meet our hosts but had a great stay overall and would happily stay again in the future.

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!

Very large 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 decks off the beaten path. Linens and robes were very soft, and slippers included. I appreciated the quintet of coffee brewing methods: French press, drip, percolator, and pour over.

First trip to Hawaii and Big Island. Jessica’s place was perfect for our trip. We were family of 4 with two adult kids - bedrooms were perfect and the apartment across the driveway was essentially its own little home. The view is incredible - worth it for the sunrises alone. We watched turtles in the surf every day. The pool, hot tub and grill were all great - we only wish we had more time! Kitchen had everything needed to cook. It’s about 30 mins to downtown Hilo but an easy drive. Easy to get to Volcano National Park and other sites. Some of cabinets and doors are a little tired but this did not affect our stay at all. Would 100% stay again and sincerely hope to return.

A lovely getaway! So grateful for the warm hospitality and to spend a couple nights in this quiet corner of paradise.

Stay here if you’re looking for: - Conveniently located - cute space with plenty of room - quiet, private location - everything you need for a restful trip I promise you won’t miss the ac with the lovely breezes and the fans, or the tv as there is plenty to do near by. Now, we did have some geckos who snuck inside, and humidity issues with drying clothes washed in the washer, but there was a dehumidifier we used in the small space that dried everything quick and we named the geckos Florence and Gail and we lived peacefully together for 4 days.

Everything was as described and we enjoyed our stay at the property - it was between Hilo and Volcanoes which worked well for us. Cooling the bedroom down does take some time, as the A/C is only in the living room and the cool air doesn't get into the bedrooms very easily, combined with the slat windows not sealing so some of the cool air leaks out of the house. However, the house was very clean and comfortable, and we really enjoyed our stay there.

The property was wonderful. It was clean and in a quiet location with amazing views.

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!

Beautiful house with tasteful furnishing. A bit cramped if the tv is pulled out because the tv is set up on a rollable cabinet but still very beautiful and comfortable place to use as base for exploring the volcano national park. Host is friendly and communicative.

Great location and as described! Always responsive host

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!

Lovely home! 2 adults, 3 kids age 12-19 stayed for a few nights. Amenities for all. Nintendo a hit. Yoga mats a treat, ping pong fun, beautiful back deck view. This place is in a quiet residential neighborhood and was a garden sanctuary to rest and relax with our family after a day of exploring. The first day of our trip we didn’t even get out until 3pm because we felt so at home! Nice kitchen, well stocked. Great laundry room. Easy drive to town. Got a bunch of interesting fruits at the Saturday farmers market in Hilo and feasted on them outside on the back deck table watching the birds. Garden paradise. Peaceful and relaxing home. The frogs are loud at night, we loved it.

The place was very nice and tidy, check in was flawless and it was spotless. The location of the place was quite secluded besides the other place next to it but still very private. The star viewing was spectacular and the hot tub is a very nice add on.

We loved our stay! Very peaceful. Emily addressed all of concerns regarding the active volcano and was very informative. While the place is secluded, her instructions given to us made it very easy to locate. Took her recommendation of getting a vehicle with 4WD and very thankful we did! The pigs and chirping frogs were an added bonus!

This place is probably one of the most unique and beautiful places I’ve ever stayed. The inside and out are decorated beautifully. You can see the ocean from the front porch and the lush vegetation surrounding the place is magical. No dishwasher and no A/C but with the windows open and fans provided in each bedroom, it was perfectly fine. The sound of the coqui frogs was also delightful at night. Just know that you will be driving about 20-30 min to get places but it is so absolutely beautiful - it is worth it to stay there. Michael gave us a tour of the property and was very responsive any time we needed anything, which wasn’t often. Highly recommend this place as long as you are willing to drive a little ways to get to things. Make sure to do the scenic red road drive, which is close by.

Words really don’t do a good job of describing just how beautiful this home and property are. So peaceful and serene. A true treasure. You will not be disappointed. Easy and straightforward check in. Great communication from Brenda. We look forward to returning.

Absolutely gorgeous views, we enjoyed them morning, noon and night!! Plenty of space!! Extremely clean! Well stocked kitchen for cooking. Great hot tub! Would stay again!

Loved our stay here. Was perfect for checking out the National Park. It did get chilly at night since the house is up a mountain and we appreciated all of the amenities provided to keep us warm. The visitors guide with restaurants was also very helpful. We had a great time here!

Iliahi gave us instructions and recommendations, also prepared the place well before our arrival. They were friendly and helpful. The place was exactly like what was shown on the site. It is right in front of the ocean. We enjoyed the stunning ocean view right from the balcony. Thanks, Iliahi!

If you want to be one with nature, this is the place! Waze took us right to it without any problem. It is DARK so the stars are amazing but bring a flashlight or headlamp. Stock up on groceries before you arrive. We prepared most meals in the well equipped kitchen and enjoyed our peaceful stay very much. There are some great hikes, beaches (with sea turtles!) and hot pools nearby.
