Amazing Oceanfront Condo- Hilo Monthly Rental
The apartment was amazing! Clean, quiet and comfortable with a view you can't beat!

Tropical Garden Condo with Pool, Kitchen, and A/C!
Conveniently located in Hilo. Easy to find and access rental. Hosts were very fast in communication and very friendly. I would recommend this place if you are staying in Hilo.

Sunrise FarmStay W/ 180 Degrees Ocean Views
Beautiful property! If you have binoculars bring them, the ocean is so amazing to watch and the sky at night is amazing! I loved the little ducks and chickens running around. Fruit trees -> AMAZING. The chickens in the coop area are so nice and friendly. It was breezy but it was so refreshing especially in the evenings coming through all the windows. 10/10 would stay again!

Magic Skies Top Floor Dream
They were very helpful and kind from the moment I booked and the place was sweet! Highly recommend.

Hilo Retreat - Views, A/C, Pool
We've stayed in this condo complex last year for Merrie Monarch and really like the location. The view was amazing! Walking distance to restaurants/coffee shop we frequent. Everything was clean and we appreciated having access to netflix, etc, when relaxing at night. We never cooked, but noted that the kitchen was well stocked. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely stay in the unit again.

Ocean View Suites B: Kehena Black Sand Beach!
People come to Puna for the community, for Kehena Beach and for getting away from the resorts and crowdds of "regular Hawaii". Scott's place puts you right where you want to be to experience this part of the Big Island. Location is as perfect as it gets for Kehena beach, no worries about parking, just walk across the road! the unit is huge with a patio, private parking, big living space and kitchenette with full size fridge. lots of space all around. I couldn't recommend more if you know the area and know the best place to be!

Newly Renovated Cozy 2Br 1Ba Apt in Waiakea Villas
The perfect place for a quick trip to Hilo. We would stay there again.

Incredible View in Hilo - Pool, A/C, Remodeled
Amber and Terry were so helpful providing great recommendations. We had the best French Canadian soup at a restaurant she recommended with a view of the bay. (And we are Canadian!). The place was a perfect place to stay while we explored all that Hawaii had to offer. To top it off, they went out of their way to ensure that our last day on the island was memorable.

Barefoot Beach House at Richardson Beach
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 - Epic Hawaii Oceanfront Experience
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!

Oceanfront Oasis
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!

Kahikole Oceanfront 2 BR Endless Ocean Views
Wonderful home for a vacay on the east shore. This home is so unique, built with 12 sides, it’s a clever design that keeps the home cool. We enjoyed our time on the lanai the most.

Kahoa House at the Honolii Headlands
Randall's place was amazing - starting with the views! It doesn't get any better in Hilo. The home was beautiful with a picture window that looked out into the ocean. It was such a dream - not to mention that Randall accommodated us at short notice! The home was super spacious, with three spacious bathrooms for each room. If you love old Hawaiian charm - this is it! If you love an amazing view and amenities that go above and beyond - this is it! Mahalo nui Randall for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home! We will definitely be back!

Mana House - Fun Rainforest Oasis w/ Ocean Views
The house is absolutely amazing! We had a marvelous time relaxing in the house and exploring the island. Everything was as described and even more beautiful than we could have imagined. The tranquility of the place together with the ocean sounds is just purely relaxing and inspiring. The house is in great condition and offers everything we needed for our stay. Theresa and Justin are wonderful hosts that were always were kind and helpful and prepared the house with great love.

Oceanfront Bali House w/ Hot tub @ Kehena Beach
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!

the Cliff House Ohana at Kaloli Point
WOW! I'm not sure I have the appropriate words to describe this home. We slept with the windows and doors open (screens were closed) every night and listened to the ocean crashing on the rocks, the critters that lived nearby and the rain. It was like nature's own sound machine. Everything was as described. We would definitely recommend. Susan was great to work with, as she allowed us to drop our bags off before check-in. If you are staying in the warmer months, it is warm and there is no A/C.

Steps to Shops 2BR Oceanview | Pool | Elevator
We had a issue with the shower head on arrival. Vacasa and their team were so quick to address the issue. The gentleman who manages the entire property was so wonderful. He met us on checkin and made us feel very welcomed from the start. They were repaving the parking lot and he had an entire plan in place for parking guests as we arrived if our spot was affected by the current paving. The place was quiet and relaxing. Would recommend this location to anyone wanting to use it. We had a small child and the hosts have thought of everything there were even some kids books there :)

Oceanview Mauna Loa Shores #201 Beach Park & Pool
This place was fabulous. Everything I had hoped it would be and more. The cove right at the condo was amazing. We walked out at night and got see the turtles. My favorite place so far. The host was awesome too. Hope we get to come back here someday.

Panoramic View of Hilo bay and Hamakua Coastline
I was there with my boyfriend for the week. The location was great! Within walking distance g distance to great restaurants and the best farmers market I’ve ever been to. The views are absolutely stunning. Watching the sunrise in the morning was so beautiful. We felt right at home. I would definitely stay there again! Thank you so much Carla and Joe! It was a little slice of heaven there.

Hilo studio with pool and balcony in Waiakea Villa
Maggie was very responsive and helpful. She had great recommendations and was flexible when I needed to add a night to my trip. The room has a great location and the balcony was amazing. It was very clean the bed was comfy and the fan combined with the AC kept it very cool. The pool was really big and had fresh water which makes a big difference. Overall a great experience A+ Mahalo Maggie!

Charming apartment with pool/pond Gardens Hilo
We truly enjoyed our stay at Qin's place in Hilo. It was a lovely spot for our night there. Although there wasn't any air conditioning, the fans made it manageable and we felt comfortable overall. The location was incredibly convenient for exploring the area, with easy access to shopping and dining. Qin’s co-host, Mandy, was absolutely fantastic, ensuring that our check-in and check-out experience went smoothly. Every aspect of the space felt unique and special, and we genuinely look forward to returning when we come back to Hilo.

Epic Oceanfront Penthouse with Best Views in Hilo!
Beautiful views of the lagoons, ocean, volcano and jungle forest firm thus corner unit. Access to Carlsmith Park and lagoons was about 209 yards. Swam with a Honu on the first day I arrived and enjoyed snorkeling in the protected lagoon. The lack of air conditioning was nit a problem in April as the breeze was lovely. The location was a 10’ drive to downtown and very close to the airport. There were a few things missing, like pepper and hair conditioner, but easily obtained. Mindy was the in site manager of the unit and she was very responsive. She was able to download Hawaii News Now so that we could watch the Merrie Monarch competition live. I would definitely stay here again in the Sprung, Fall ir Winter, though I would guess summer might be a bit warm without air conditioning.

Swim with the turtles, watch the whales. RELAX.
I have stayed in a lot of Airbnb accommodations. This condo is the best. It it's perfect for one or two people it they aren't sharing beds. I love sitting on the balcony and watching the waves. I have been here multiple times and I am very comfortable here. Restaurants, market, and beaches are close and easy to access. I love staying here. Thank you!
