About this property

Minutes from Downtown Hilo, Sleeps 6

Welcome to Hilo Hale Kaumana! Minutes from Downtown Hilo, this home has everything you need for that getaway to the Big Island. Sleeps 6

This fully renovated and beautifully decorated 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is the relaxing retreat you’ve been seeking. The quiet neighborhood in part of historic Hilo backs up to a greenbelt on a dead-end street. Rainbow Falls is just a short drive, as is downtown Hilo and Bayfront.

The kitchen is easy to work in and of course has all the amenities that you’ll need to cook up those scrumptious island meals. Eat inside or dine outside on the screened-in lanai!

The living room is comfortable with a smart TV for streaming (no cable), and the house does have high-speed wireless internet through Spectrum.

The master bedroom has a queen bed and ensuite bath with tub/shower combo, and the guest bedrooms have a queen and a full/double bed. There’s also a full guest bath also with a tub/shower combo. Both bathrooms have combination tub/showers.

From this convenient location, explore old Hilo town with its great farmers market, historical museums, wonderful restaurants and more. Don’t miss Richardson’s, Carlsmith or Onekahakaha Beach Parks! Also discover beautiful Akaka Water Falls Park, the 4-mile scenic loop at Onomea Bay, and the Old Mamalahoa Highway - the original highway built back in the 20’s that took you from Hilo town to the beautiful horse country of Waimea.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: house was great, neighbors were fantastic. very accommodating location. House was clean and inviting. LR Furniture expired and uncomfortable. Main bedrm needs new mattress that doesn't slope to middle and not have to cling to edge. Fry pans were shedding teflon coating, not good. Lanai good. Frogs loud at first, guess you get used to them.I am property manager and appreciate feedback. Hope you feel the same. Few upgrades could definitely improve the experience.

we enjoyed our stay, enjoyed the neighborhood. It was a peaceful and comfortable home base for exploring the big island. Minor note to the management people: There is a leak from the roof in the lanai by the door (over the rug).
