Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Hilo

Very friendly host! The house was awesome. Thanks to Liza and team.

John was a great host! He was super nice and welcoming. The place was clean and nice and spacious. He left us bottled water and made sure we settled in.

Love the location to go be down by the water all day. Really relaxing jungle treehouse.

This was our second time to the island but first time with 2 toddlers. We wanted something more peaceful on the more rural side. This home did not disappoint! The directions were really easy to follow to get there and unlocking the place. This was a perfect size for our family. We were so happy to see a screened in Lanai that was attached to the living room so it opened up into one long room. Kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. Its very close to Volcanos National Park (we got to see it erupting on the 24th). 30-ish minutes from Hilo If you are looking for island time (slow paced, family, go with the flow) kind of stay book this place! .

We had an incredible month-long stay at Tamara’s place in Pahoa! Her home was spotless, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Tamara was an excellent host, always quick to respond and resolve any requests. The location is truly magical—nestled in the heart of a lush rainforest with friendly neighbors, it’s a peaceful and unique setting. The proximity to Hilo and the Kalapana area was fantastic. We loved visiting the vibrant Uncle Awa’s night market on Wednesday evenings and the lively Sunday drum circle in Seaview Estates which is just a 15-minute drive away. Pahoa itself is a charming town with welcoming and helpful locals. It’s also a great base for exploring the island: Volcanoes National Park is only 40 minutes away, Mauna Kea about 45 minutes, and even Kona is in drivable distance. A delightful surprise was the two adorable stray cats that often visited—they added so much charm to our stay. Thanks Tamara for making our stay so memorable!

Lucky to grab this location for a few days. Accommodations were great for three parties of folks. Especially great one couple could bring their dog. Unfortunately, we missed the volcano eruptions, which started the day we checked out for home. They seemed to have everything you might need and super cozy, including the reclining couch sections were comfortable enough to sleep in!!

One of my favorite AirBnB stays ever! It was a magical place, designed so thoughtfully. I felt deeply connected to the beautiful tropical farm and natural garden surroundings, yet had all of the conveniences to be totally comfortable. It was such a pleasure to wake up to a chorus of birdsongs and gentle warm breeze blowing through the loft windows. The garden shower was also amazing. Melissa and Jeff were so friendly, and I felt at home instantly. I cannot recommend this place more for a retreat in nature!

The view! What an amazing location. We saw whales in the bay right outside our lanai a few mornings. The space worked perfectly for our group of 7 girlfriends. Plenty of beds and bathroom space. The home is quite old, but we loved the character and evident history. Everything was very clean and tidy and well stocked. Really nice updated kitchen was wonderful. We were close to everything we wanted to do and enjoyed relaxing at the house in the mornings and evenings while enjoying the view. Though right across from a public beach, the house felt quiet and safe. Richard’s recommends ahead of time were spot on and helpful in making plans in advance. Thank you for a fabulous stay! We’d love to return someday!

We loved our stay here! The house was spotless when we arrived, and the view is absolutely unbeatable. Kendi was incredibly helpful leading up to our trip. She shared great tips and ideas for things to do in and around Hilo and the Eastern side of the island, which made planning easy. Our family felt at home here and wish we could have stayed forever.

This house is just as tranquil and majestic as it looks in the photos. We loved falling asleep to the sounds of frogs and birds, drinking our coffee outside in the morning in a jungle oasis, and dipping in the hot tub in the afternoon. It’s a short drive to Volcano National Park and was the perfect home base while we were explored the area. We will definitely come back and would recommend to all!

Great stay! Perfect location right by Hawaii Volcanoes National Park! Enjoyed the hot tub on the cool evenings!

It's a very nice place and if you're looking for adventure you'll love it. In our case, we were looking to rest, but due to the noises in the environment we couldn't. Access to the cabins was also a little complicated because there is no light at night. But overall it's very nice.

One of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed. Janice was so kind and communicated great with us. The view is even better in person and the house was bigger in person too! Everything pictured is better than you can imagine. We saw turtles from the cliff every day! Hot tub was fun and so were the games. Neighborhood was great for walks and everyone is so friendly. We did not want to leave!

Great location and available amenities for our party of 6. We would definitely stay at Julie’s place again whenever we are near Hilo.

We loved our stay! It was very private and quiet, we felt right at home the moment we checked in. Jonas was very helpful and gave us great suggestions, always checked in with us to make sure everything was okay. Timber was also very sweet and super cute, We’ll definitely be rebooking next time we’re in town! Mahalo Jonas for your hospitality.

Beautiful spot in the jungle near the volcano. Super private, jungle hottub was definitely the star of the stay. Communication was great.

just as described. located next to the secret hot springs and the nude beach! a quiet peaceful neighborhood with so much Beauty. A very responsive host and wonderful attitude! and don't forget the stars at night, amazing!

The house was amazing. The amenities were an extra plus. Everything you needed and more. Everything was fabulous and we look forward toto staying there again.

Overall, the host is extraordinary receptive and reactive of a host - what you'd like for in an Airbnb host, especially with all the selection there. Location is can't beat, and the ease of everything also stood out. I didn't like the outdoor screen on the porch (it was molded and badly broken, surprising considering it wasn't caught previously). The host had it fixed brand new within 24H. I would say the unit is smaller that photographed (I was surprised, but it was comfortable for one person). Would be tight with two. You should also know it appears to be an addition onto the back of the garage (although the finishings are top notch). That just means there are two other units that you'll need to be aware of from a noise perspective. Private ish yard area by a quaint outdoor porch. Really appreciated the touch and proactive nature of the host. Made the 3-week stay in the end a 5-star stay despite early challenges. Well done.

It was beautiful. Peaceful and relaxing. Well stocked, clean very nice all around

Kelly was AMAZING! What a beautiful place. It was quiet and peaceful. The horses were so sweet. We loved hearing all the birds chirping in the morning. I would absolutely recommend this home to anyone. Thank you Kelly for sharing your home with us. We will be back.

Great experience staying here, felt like on Bali a bit considering the semi-open house architecture and a garden full of fruit trees. The house is large, spacious and we loved especially the outside part where we spent most of the time exercising in the morning, having meals, reading, taking photos of colourful birds passing by and in the night stargazing accompanied by a symphony of forest noises! Absolutely wonderful. We met also the owners and had a nice chat, learning about the best spots to visit in the area. last the local guide book we found on the table was extremely useful!!! All-in-all we had a great time here! Fully recommended!

James’ place is great for families! It’s a nice quiet area and the kitchen amenities are great. Highly recommend!

Larry was incredibly responsive and kind! The house is tucked away from central kea'au and hilo, the neighborhood is very quiet. Parking is available. There are many roaming chickens around the property but that is just Hawai'i in general. The stay was very enjoyable :) the place is definitely cabin vibes but it was nice to retreat after the busy festival weekend.
