Comfortable house with tasteful upgrades. Beds very comfortable. Only downside was dogs barking in neighborhood and street noise from busy street one block away.
Clean, comfortable, big backyard, had all the necessities you would need for - kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, beach, puzzles even and best of all quiet - only heard a few coquis each night
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!
The house is super convenient, cute and comfy. We met our son from Oahu in Hilo to do some hiking and it was perfect for our needs. Great large shared space, we cooked and played games!
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.
Perfect for our family. Quiet neighborhood, close to shopping. Everything for food preparation was available. Washer/dryer available also. Our second time at this property.
Very comfortable and clean house. We didn’t use the kitchen, but it appeared to be well stocked. The use of the washer/dryer was a bonus. We enjoyed our stay!
The property was very nice and tidy. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and the closeness to everything. We stay 10 days for the IVF Va’a World Sprints and it was a great place to stay and chill out after racing.
This house was perfect for my mom who ambulates with a walker. We chose it because of the bathrooms, which were perfect for her. The location is perfect, the house has many remodeled areas, and is quaint, comfortable and makes you feel like home. Overall a great place to stay, we all enjoyed our stay.
quick, W was friendly and
Large kitchen, dining table, living room and bedrooms. House is in excellent condition. We didn’t cook but there was everything you could possibly want if you did cook.
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.
The house was spacious, clean quiet and well equipped for all our needs. It was close to shopping and restaurants.We will definitely use this property again in the future.
The property was everything we could have asked for. Quite possibly the BEST stocked kitchen we've ever seen in a VRBO! We loved our stay and have added this place to our short list for our next trip to Hilo. Mahalo nui
Great location, close to stores, shopping...right in Hilo town. Clean house.
Good location to stay to experience the Hamakua/Hilo/Volcano/Kau side of the Big Island. The house was clean and well equipped with everything you need (kitchen with appliances and all utensils you'll need, washing machine, dryer, well stocked restrooms, etc). The bedrooms were nicely cleaned and extra linens were available if needed. This was a good house to relax before and after a day of exploring the beautiful Big Island. We would stay at this house again.
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.
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.
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!
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.
