Thank you for sharing your beautiful Uli Kai house with us. We enjoyed everything about it. The sea view from the lanai was amazing. We even heard the crashing waves. The house was large clean and comfortable. We loved the pool and hot tub set in a beautiful back yard, Also, the local property manager was very helpful with all requests. We highly recommend this property.

This was the second time I had taken my high school basketball team to stay here in the past 3 years, and again, it exceeded all expectations!!! The team enjoyed everything about the house, from the bbq area, to the pool and jacuuzi (that was their favorite part) to the beautiful walks they were able to take along the beach. The house has a "homely" feeling that really made everybody feel comfortable. I would highly recommend this vacation getaway to anyone in need of some serious R&R!!!

Wonderful Stay in Hilo

We stayed at this property in March of 2011. There were 9 in our group including 3 children. There was plenty of room for everyone. The beds were especially comfortable. We loved getting in the hot tub at the end of the day. And the children enjoyed the pool, although it was a little too chilly for most of the adults. There was plenty to do in the area and we enjoyed the recommendations left for us at the house. We went to the black sand beaches around Hilo and swam with sea turtles. We loved watching the waves crash on the rocks across the street from the house. We were even lucky enough to see a whale while having coffee on the lanai! The house had all of the supplies we needed, including flashlights, bicycles, pool supplies and a fully stocked kitchen. The owner was very quick to address any question or problem that we had. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting a relaxing stay in an area full of friendly, helpful people, away from the more crowded areas of Hawaii.

Heavenly Uli Kai

Incredible Large Spacious Home offered more than enough for our party of four. We made use of the covered lanai for several of our meals. The pool area with it's attractive lava garden was a treat. Situated a few yards from the shore and in Paradise Park, as it was, the roar of the surf and the sounds of chirping frogs, toads, crickets. birds and geckos was delightful and made for one of our most memorable trips to Hawaii. Highly Reccommend this rental.

Owner response:Great review! My home will accommodate from 2 guests up to 15 guests. Private pool and jacuzzi.

Everything about the house was as-described. Clean, well maintained and only a few car drove by per day. The owner answered every question we had. Excellent kitchen and large enough for several people to be working at the same time. (Our cycle was breakfast at the house, lunch out exploring the island and dinner at the house. Our four year old granddaughter started calling it 'home' by the second day. "Are we gong to eat at home tonight?"

Wonderful, spacious home

What a nice place to stay in Hilo! We were so impressed with the cleanliness, spaciousness, the pool and hot tub, the gorgeous views and natural sounds (waves, birds, crickets, lizards), and just everything. There were lots of low traffic streets to go walking on, and it was wonderful to come back to the privacy of the home after going exploring every day. One night we watched the Geminid meteor shower from the lounge chairs in the back yard. It's somethign we'll remember our whole lives! Volcanoes National Park is close by, and swimming beaches are not far either. We all remarked that this was the most restful vacation we'd ever had. Thanks so much for renting us your little bit of paradise!

Great place to visit on the Big Island

My wife, son, and I visited this house on the Big Island in Hilo for three nights during September 2010. We live on Maui and needed an off island trip away from work and our stay was great. The pool was a nice cool off during the day and good fun for our boy while the two of us enjoyed relaxing in the jacuzzi in the evening. The property itself sits in a good central location. Within a short drive we visited Hilo Bay, the zoo, waterfalls, a naturally heated pool, and black sand beach. I also brought over my fishing poles, caught a few across the street, and BBQ's them for dinner one night. Overall a great trip and I would highly recommend this place to anyone.
