Apartment vacation rentals in Orchidlands Estates

The place was just what we expected. It was clean and tidy upon arrival and suited our needs perfectly. Location is close to downtown so it offered plenty places to eat. The kids enjoyed the pool, which was a plus. Overall it was a nice place that we’d use again.

Nancy is very proactive when it comes to this rental and just an overall great host. She had everything put into it so it had a lived in feel even though this was its first rental. I was impressed with the coffee waiting for us, the full assortment of cooking oils and utensils, plates and even a half gallon of milk in the fridge as well as a starter water jug, paper towels etc. I could go on and on with every detail that was right but you get the idea. Also she went out of her way to ask how things were going. I had a couple of gfi circuit blowing issues while I was there but she arranged to have those fixed as soon as possible with an electrician who upgraded the circuit and that seemed to solve the problem for good. The bed was really good and I have a really bad back. I was surprised since it was an airbed but I had zero problems with sleeping on it. There is a brand new futon and fold out bed/couch in the living room but I never used it. It was good for sitting on to watch tv. The directv was a really nice touch. I thought the apt was much bigger and nicer than the photos showed. The shower in particular was much bigger than I was expecting. Kudos too on the really hot water! I like it hot and it was perfect with a giant hot water heater for the whole place. Most places always seem to keep the water to cool for me but yours was ideal. The laundry was a big added bonus too and saves a lot of time, money and hassle. The dual window ACs is a rare feature of this apt too. It made sleeping really nice and could cool the place down in minutes. Even in the winter there I liked having the option to cool off quickly on a warm day. No other place has that in this price range and I would gladly go back and stay again.

Fantastic little spot in Volcano! We were minutes away from the park and woke up early to see the eruption. Make sure to bring in drinking water, as we forgot but luckily found a spot in town to buy some :). I’d definitely book again!

Such a cute place and really close to volcanoes national park!

Great spot in the heart of Hilo + AC! Samuel and team were a great help and made the trip even better.

Mo’s place was everything I look for in an Airbnb. Quiet, private, easy to find. A five minute walk away from the nearest beach! Other beaches are only a little bit farther away. I didn’t have a rental car for most of my trip but the Bus stop is also five minute walk away. I felt like I was in the jungle, there was so much tropical greenery around! It is near an airport so there was airplane noises overhead but you only hear it once or twice a night and it comes and goes quickly. I had a great stay and would stay here again!

Second time staying at this property and it’s a lovely experience and lovely area off the beaten path. Very quiet and clean. I’m appreciative of the hospitality that both Sharon and Stephen showed me. Will be going back for a 3rd time in the future.

5 Stars! Jenny was an absolute lifesaver and such a kind host! She accommodated us last minute without hesitation and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Her place at Hilo Lagoon was spotless, peaceful, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests. The location was perfect, and her warm hospitality really made our trip extra special. Highly recommend staying here—mahalo nui, Jenny!

Aloha Jada & Emily. We loved staying at your place...we felt right at home. We will always look to book a stay whenever we're in town. Mahalo for everything!

This is a great, clean place to stay! It’s close to so many fun things in Hilo and the check in and out processes were very easy. I would stay again and would recommend to others!

it was a convenient home base for lots of hiking, snorkeling, and volcanoes!

Amazing quiet place to stay very close to town and easy to get to and from . Would have loved to stay longer but will rebook on my next visit.

After staying at quite a few AirBnb's for work and vacation, I feel very lucky to have encountered such amazing hosts. Francis and his wife are no different. They are absolutely wonderful people who are very helpful and friendly, and offer a very nice place to stay right around all the fun things to do in Hilo. There house was very clean and well outfitted to make for a very comfortable stay for my colleague and I. There was ample parking, and the apartment was very spacious, with a huge kitchen and living room area. The two big bedrooms felt very comfy and there was lots of room to spread out. Francis and his wife asked if there was anything they could do for us, and his wife even brought fresh fruit from the trees they had near the house! It was a wonderful experience, and was exactly what my colleague and I needed to work and have a good support site from which to base our needs. Thank you again to both hosts for such an enjoyable experience!

Beautiful area, so close to Volcanoes NP, cooler temps very welcome compared to lower elevations. Lots of birdsong (including some roosters) and frogs. Far enough from the highway that noise was not at all intrusive, but super easy to get to the highway. Close enough to Volcano Village for gas/shop/food, and close enough to the park for quick trips (early morning, or night trip to watch the lava glow - or, if you are very lucky, an eruption). Owners very nice and made great neighbors. Do be sure to bring your own drinking water - most places in the area catch rainwater for non-drinking use.

This was our second visit to the property. Location was good for all of our adventures. Clean, well stocked and new gas grill was a plus. We hope to bring our family to the island in the future and utilize one of their larger properties.

Great old Hawaiian B&B. We had a fairly plain room, which we expected for the price, but it was clean, and the main rooms with the delicious breakfast and the beautiful surrounding garden made up for it. Perfect location minutes from Volcano National Park.
