Hilo vibes at Richardson's!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Love the Hilo side! It's different. If you know, you know. Rain, humidity, and true island style living. Great location, and easy to walk to the beach. You feel like a true local. Hard to beat the location at Richardson's Beach.

The home was very nice in a very quiet area. If you are looking to relax and just unwind this could be the place. Close to restaurants and shopping.

5 star property!

We loved our stay. Property is well maintained and location is ideal. Just a few minutes walk to some excellent snorkeling. The owners were very responsive and attentive. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Wonderful home and location

Very cute cottage like home with great personal touches and great additions. Loved the sweet little cookies and drinks left for us, the towels and beach equipment were also great. Comfortable beds and great yard with greenery

Conveniently located

We took a short trip to Hilo to relax and do some touristy things. The accomodations were clean, comfortable, and nicely appointed. We particularly liked the food trucks a short drive away. The location provided wonderful access the many nearby beach parks, and great accessiblity (by car) to downtown Hilo and its environs.

Peaceful Jungle Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Peaceful setting but steps away from the most beautiful black sand beach in Hilo. The two floors were perfect for our group, with separate bedrooms and bathrooms. Kitchen and dining room were well appointed, just like home. Relaxing vacay!

Tropical Oasis!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: If you’re looking for a cozy home to stay in, away from the busy streets, with the sounds of the tropical forest, the rain hitting the tin roof and the crickets at night. This is your place! The home was on a very quiet street, (aside from the neighbours dog barking, on occasion) it was peaceful. The home had basic items, plenty of plates/cups. Coffee was not provided on arrival so we had to go back to the store to buy some. (Not a big deal though) Windows could have been cleaned, and a bit more housekeeping would have been nice. (There was beer caps in the cutlery drawer from the last guests). Otherwise, the home had many positives-cute furniture and decor, beach chairs, toys, patio furniture, etc. We were super thankful for the fans in the home too!

We had the most wonderful stay at Robert and Erin’s place in Hilo. Every detail was thoughtful, from the shampoo and conditioner available in each shower, to the snacks, to all the beach equipment, to the fully stocked kitchen, to the washer and dryer. There was nothing we needed that they didn’t have. They were quickly responsive to any questions we had. The house itself was perfect for our family of five - the two adults stayed in the bedroom upstairs, and the three kids shared the bedroom downstairs (and bonus-they had their own bathroom!). The neighborhood is quiet and a very short walk to Richardson’s beach. Carlsmith beach, just a few minutes’ drive away, was our favorite though, because that’s where we got to swim with sea turtles. The location was also ideal for all of our adventures - Punalu’u beach and the volcano national park were two favorites. Were we to visit again, we’d gladly stay in this house again. We were sad to leave it!

Thank you so much for leaving such a thoughtful review! We are so glad you loved the home and found all the amenities useful. We try to set the house up so our guests don’t feel like they have to immediately run to the store to buy the basics… we want our guests to ump right in to enjoying the space and the location as soon as they get there. Happy travels and that you for being such a wonderful guest! Robert & Erinn

Perfect Vacation House!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Amazing stay in quiet serene place. Everything we needed for our adventures was on hand. A quick easy trip for groceries completed it all. Short beautiful walk to Richardson beach and not far from some great snorkeling with many turtles and beautiful fish. I was even able to look some up that I didn't recognize in books that were provided. We made an impromptu trip at 3am to watch episode 26 erupt! Went spelunking in the lava caves and enjoyed shave ice and malasadas. Wonderful lanai for morning coffee and relaxing evenings. We love the fresh produce on trees in the yard and all the tropical sounds. Hilo Farmers market is a must. Highly recommended and we will definitely be planning our next stay here. Thank you!

This is a beautiful property and very convenient to one of the best beaches in Hilo. The owner is very helpful and responsive to all my questions. I gave four stars because there are missing amenities that are important to me and my family, such as a/c, dishwasher, blackout curtains. We had the fans on all day and night but not enough to cool down the house especially in the afternoon. The heat drained my energy on our first day. The neighbors dog barked a lot on our first night, we couldn’t close the window to lessen the noise because we needed to leave it open to keep the master bedroom a little cooler than the rest of the house. The next morning, we told the owner the noise issue, they contacted the neighbors and there were no more dog barking at night the rest of our stay.
