Five-Star Stay with Stunning Hilo Bay Views!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful property with stunning views of Hilo Bay. We rang in the New Year watching spinner dolphins from the deck, truly unforgettable. Rain or shine, (it is Hilo after all), the home felt warm, welcoming, and added to the experience. The house was immaculate and fully equipped with everything we needed. Check-in and check-out were effortless, and the owners and staff were wonderful to work with. We would absolutely stay here again!

Gorgeous views, clean home, quiet community. Home was well-appointed, had even more than what we needed or wanted. Definitely need a car, though, since all amenities at least several miles or more away. Overall…Just what we needed!

House good, customer service not so good

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house and gounds were nice and well maintained. Easy to find and drive to. There was a hot water heater issue that cause a few minor problems but we worked through those. My biggest issue was the check-in emails. I got one from VRBO butbthere were no specifics for door/lock codes. The morning of the day we were to check-in, I had to contact VRBO for points of contact for those codes. That was very disappointing.

What an amazing stay! From the lovely welcome basket of goodies to the gorgeous ocean views, this stay had everything! The balcony views were a highlight…we enjoyed early morning sightings of spinner dolphins as well as amazing nighttime views of the full moon. This place had just about every amenity we could ask for. It was a great distance from both Hilo and Volcano and this was a perfect jumping off point for all of our outdoor adventures. Absolutely would stay here again!!
