Oceanfront Gated Estate Celebration Suite - Horses

JanetRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had such a wonderful time with Chad and Jennifer. The property was so much more than we even thought. The property is so beautiful and well maintained. Truly unique property with unparalleled beauty. Chad and Jennifer are such gracious, informative hosts. We will definitely look to stay again. Highly recommend. This is a special experience and stay, far beyond what can be described. The pictures, although beautiful, don’t come anywhere near to describing it.

Modern Suite-Polynesian Retreat

JimRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Great location as it’s near the beaches in Hilo, near all the major roads to go up and down the coast. Everything that they advertised was true. Quiet and friendly atmosphere. Also, very good communication by the owners. We will definitely stay again if we are on the big island.

Perfect condo air bnb for our 2 night stay in Hilo! Wish it were longer. One of the most well equipped rentals I’ve had. Roku TV, pool, fridge, oven, microwave, coffee pot, and clean fluffy towels. Nice studio on the ground floor. Jungle feel to surrounding grounds. Close to all the prime Hilo spots. Easy in and out. Clearly Vivian aims to please! Thanks for a great stay!

Hilo Waterfall House at Kikala Lodge

EricaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Great host and great place to stay. If you’re looking to be right in the Hawaiian rainforest with a waterfall in your backyard this is the place! It so peaceful, relaxing, and beautiful! Axel had a lot of extras (beach chairs, beach towels) which came in handy for a day spent at the ocean. I would be lucky to stay here again!

Waterfall and private swimming hole cabin

ColtonRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Exactly what was expected. Beautiful scenery and with a wonderful river/pool right nearby, plus an amazing waterfall a little ways down the river. Other than that, it is a simple cabin. Very small, not much furniture and its very easy to bust your shins on the sides of the bed. Dont expect luxury and be prepared to walk in the woods, its a bit of rough terrain but nothing terrible by any means. Overall, we would happily stay here again.

A gray futon is centered in the living area, adorned with decorative green and blue cushions. Light wooden coffee table is positioned in front, featuring a small white cup. Two framed botanical prints hang on the wall, complementing the natural decor.

Hilo studio with pool and balcony in Waiakea Villa

4.59 out of 5 average rating, 92 reviews3 weeks ago

Super nice place to spend a couple nights while exploring Hilo/Waterfalls/Volcanoes! It’s a bit tough to find but Maggie’s instructions were proactive in letting you know how to get to the right parking lot (make sure to not rely on GPS alone). The public lagoon park is a short walk away and was absolutely gorgeous - some of the most impressive trees you’ll ever see, neat wavy footbridges, and some humbling memorials and statues. The unit itself was nice and comfortable, and overlooks an adorable small creek stocked with koi and a waterfall that lulls you to sleep each night. All different kinds of birds to observe out on the spacious lanai. The pool was large and the common areas were clean and landscaped, despite the buildings themselves being a bit aged. Bar across the parking lot is open late, but other nearby food options close early. Phenomenal location and unit overall for a cheap couple’s getaway on east side Big Island. Recommend!

Hale 'Io Waterfall Cabin

4.53 out of 5 average rating, 30 reviews24 months ago

Axel's place was super beautiful, peaceful and nice! We loved it and absolutely good value. Its a cute cabin and a perfect off the grid location with just the right amenities. Theres also a beautiful waterfall just behind you, incredible. Make sure to bring ear plugs as the bugs out there can be quite loud at night! Great spot for people who want a nature oriented stay but a cozy cabin.

Unwind at your Perfect Jungle Retreat

AnnemarieRating, 5 stars3 months ago

A unique experience! We loved feeling like we were living in a private jungle – the plantings are stunning and offer a great sense of privacy even though the neighbors are actually nearby. You will hear the sounds of the island (frogs, chickens, music) but for us that was a plus. This location gave us great access to some places we hadn't explored on previous trips. Definitely take care with any food or crumbs left out in the kitchen, as the tiny ants arrive quickly : )

Ocean Bluff Home on Hamakua Coast - Hale Hamakua

CathiRating, 5 stars3 months ago

The home was so beautiful and peaceful! The view from the Lanai is unforgettable! We watched the sunset every morning and the stars every night. The AC in the rooms was amazing after a hot day on the beach. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our Hawai’i adventure!

A covered lanai features a dining table set for four, surrounded by tropical plants. Two comfortable seating areas with cushioned chairs are positioned nearby, and a ceiling fan enhances airflow. The open design allows for natural light to illuminate the space.

Stunning Ocean and Mauna Kea Views

KristineRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Large beautiful house that looks exactly like the pictures. Great space for 6 adults. The company was very friendly, responsive, proactive and helpful. I was impressed with them. Fantastic place if you just want to get away somewhere private. The porch and widow’s watch were fantastic. But be advised there are no shades on the windows, no AC and loud roosters that get started waking up the neighborhood around 5am. So plan to get up early since you won’t have a choice. You’ll need to get out early anyway since this area is pretty far out of the way and it’s a 30-60 minute drive to tourist activities.

Minutes from Downtown Hilo, Sleeps 6

SadiaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We enjoyed our stay at Hawaii Life Rentals! Downtown Hilo was a short drive away and the place was quiet and peaceful. The 6 of us were comfortable in this rental and we also cooked a couple of meals during our stay here. Would recommend this place for families visiting Big Island

Home with Ocean Views Along the Hamakua Coast

LindaRating, 5 stars32 months ago

We absolutely loved staying here. Lots of wonderful, thoughtful touches to make our stay relaxing and memorable. After staying in Maui for two weeks, it was perfect to get a true island experience on the green lush Big Island. We were so sad to leave, the home was so comfortable and perfect for a family vacation.

The Jewel Box - Kehena Beach

LauraRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy and well-appointed home! The highlight was undoubtedly the stunning tropical ocean view—we even spotted whales and dolphins right from the deck! The location is fantastic, just a short walk to a breathtaking black sand beach (clothing-optional), though swimming is best for strong swimmers. The home is comfortable and has everything needed for a relaxing stay. As expected in the tropics, the environment can be a bit tough on materials, but that’s just part of the charm of being in such a beautiful, natural setting. The host communicated really well and has done a great job keeping the space welcoming and well-equipped. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway immersed in nature, this is a fantastic spot. We would absolutely stay again!

The exterior of the two-story home is showcased, featuring a green metal roof and multiple levels. Lush tropical landscaping surrounds the property, with palm trees and various plants visible. A covered parking area is available beneath the house, providing shade.
