Great Stay in a Convenient and Clean Hilo Home

This vacation house was very convenient to all the attractions we visited. The KTA Super Store is just a few minutes’ drive away, making it easy to grab anything we needed. The room was spotless—clearly well cared for—and had almost all the facilities we wanted. Even without air conditioning, the fan was more than enough. Our family really enjoy a wonderful 3-day stay here!

Our Month in Hilo

The house was clean, comfortable and very well equipped but located between two busy streets, so there was a fair amount of traffic noise, not to mention an annoying dog across the street that often woke us in the early morning with his barking. The house is located in a very modest neighborhood at the south end of town about a 10-15 minute drive to the center of Hilo. All the appliances worked perfectly and the TV/wi-fi service was excellent. Vaughn was helpful and answered our questions promptly. All in all we have no complaints, but if you're looking for upscale living, this is not it.

Convenient clean gathering home

We chose this home focused on accessibility for a relative with difficulty with steps and use of wheelchair. Worked out wonderfully! Had 15 people over, very comfortable. Very homey, back porch with awning and BBQ grill. The open floor plan and single step to get in the house was great.

Entire process was pretty easy. Stay was goid. Only negative was the shower....although nice and stylish, it was a small walkin type with no doors/curtains so the entire floor outside of the shower was wet. Other then that, stay was good.

It was conveniently located with a supermarket nearby. We received a reminder about check-out procedure including sheets and towels which we did not see in the manual received in advance. It would have been better if it had been included in the manual sent before check-in.

Hilo adventure

The property is exactly as shown. Vaughn responded swiftly to any concerns. The house is quite close to a major roadway resulting in some traffic noise sporadically during the day, sometimes well into the evening. But this roadway is also the main route to much of the shopping and restaurants in and around Hilo, so we were OK with the trade-off. Vaughn also offered us some fresh fruit from trees on the property, which was very kind of him. Our thanks to him for allowing us to use the property for our extended winter stay, it was a trip we will long remember.

Would recommend

Great house, awesome spacious backyard with fruit trees. This house was the best stocked home we stayed in. Everything was nicely updated with everything you might need for your stay, they even had a small rice cooker. My kids loved the spacious backyard and they loved picking fruit in the mornings. The only negatives are the trash situation which you have to take your own trash to the transfer station but I guess it’s expected for the area. And you must clean up before you leave and strip all bedding and still pay a cleaning fee. But that wasn’t a big deal for me because I’m kinda a clean freak. Overall, I would highly recommend this house. It’s very spacious, it also has a covered laundry area and a covered patio. Vaughn was also quick to respond to any questions Don’t hesitate and just book it!

Who let the dogs out?

Some mention road noise as an issue, but it was not too noticeable most of the time. The real noise issue in this neighborhood are the sixty or seventy dogs that live across the street and bark all evening, but it turns out, this is something you can get used to. Sometimes a rooster wanders into the unfenced backyard around 3-8am and calls loudly as well, but also not a major issue for us. All of the check-in and check-out protocols are clearly defined and uncomplicated. No AC, of course, but even during a relatively hot stretch for Hilo, the ceiling fans kept things manageable. Would recommend against only for those highly sensitive to (dog!) noise, otherwise this is a solid rental.

Review Hilo

Property is very beautiful, house is upgraded with nice walk in showers, exception to the water splashing out of shower, gas stove is awesome. I did send a message when I noticed that the microwave did not have a glass turntable. I'm sure in order to keep this property well kept, guest need to follow the rules, unfortunately for me the check out reminder procedures were a little too much. I believe I left the property looking exactly how we checked in. But, Why did I have the cleaning fee? especially if I needed to take the pillow cases and linens off the bed. Emphasizing "Put back everything in it's place", Not all guests are the same. I also noticed that an additional fee was also charged for 4 adults and 2 children, is that a normal additional fee that is charged for 6 guest? Although we only had 4 adults stay, but not sure why the extra charge. I fully understand the House Rules is put in place so the property is well taken care of, but I was feeling a bit stressed on following check out procedures. Also when stating to put all recently used dishes in the dishwasher, which I did. All others were washed and put away after each use. But to instruct to put dishes in dishwasher and run it, sorry there was no instructions on how to start and what soap or where it goes. Not all guest know how to use a dishwasher. So I hope I don't get an extra charge for this. The yard had delicious oranges that we enjoyed eating. Other than that, it is a beautiful property and may look into future use again, and hopefully we can spend more time there. We came back late in the evening and left early the next day. Thank you.

No Place Like Home, Except Here

Our visit to Hilo has never been so relaxing and comfortable until we got to stay here. It really felt like being at home. The location was perfect, close to the airport, KTA, our friends and family. We could even see Mauna Kea from the backyard. From the laundry room, kitchen and bathrooms, everything you needed was there. It was very well supplied with what you would expect in your own home. The kitchen and barrooms were upgraded with modern lighting and fixtures working perfectly. The winds kept the house cool but having the ceiling fans in every room made it even more comfortable. Every bedroom has adequate hanging space and luggage stands. Even the toilet paper and paper towels were of high quality. I spent a lot of time at the home so I enjoyed the quiet patio deck and the large, well cut backyard with the fruit trees. I will definitely look forward to staying here again in my future trips to Hilo.
