Hilo Retreat - Views, A/C, Pool

SharonRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!

SaurabhRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Very nice place if you like to stay away from the main city. There's no cell signal around, but this place has good wifi that you can get on some part of the street as well. Scott is great and always available. Only considerations would be that: The laundry is not in building, it's in the next door nieghbors place with time limitations and the sink in the kitchen is a bit small. Apart from that great.

Incredible View in Hilo - Pool, A/C, Remodeled

AngelaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
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

NancyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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 !

the Cliff House Ohana at Kaloli Point

TempieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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.

Epic Oceanfront Penthouse with Best Views in Hilo!

EdwardRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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.

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!
