Great property in Hilo

We stayed at this property for the Hilo portion of our big island trip. We had 2 kids, 3 adults and the house was perfect. The kitchen is very well stocked with dishes, pots pans, storage containers, etc. I was impressed with the quality of kitchen ware. Note: there is no dishwasher, but it was not too much of a hardship to hand wash uo the few dishes we used.The collection of beach supplies was appreciated. Including snorkeling gear, boogie boards, towels, chairs, etc.

Home away from home

This house was perfect for our family. My wife and I, and our two children (9 and 12), enjoyed our stay at this wonderful home. Had everything we needed, AC worked well, house was clean, location was central to all sight seeing spots in Hilo, close to other shopping centers for supplies. Communication with owners and check in/out was a breeze. Highly recommend ! We would definitely stay here again and are already planning our next trip to the big island. Thank you guys so much.

Fantastic home

Two friends and a teen stayed here for our vacation to Hawaii while we checked out the Hilo area and Mauna Kea. It was nice each having our own room. Comfortable home with nice amenities. Only issue we had was a fuse blew out and knocked out power to the three A/C units but that got resolved quickly. Very friendly hosts. Enjoyed an orange from the tree out back. Only suggestion is to add a strainer to the kitchen wares (maybe there was one and I was too sleepy to find it to strain my OJ). :-)

Hidden gem

There are not many listings or hotels in Hilo especially for family of 5. This place was right in the heart of Hilo, only 7 minutes from the airport. It was very nice and well appointed property and would been excellent for a longer stay. We loved the one night we were there and the communication with property manager was excellent.

Beautiful place, use the earplugs

Loved the property- clean, beautiful, private and safe. After the first night we opted to use the earplugs for bedtime as the next door neighbor has roosters and the other neighbor has barking dogs. We didn’t find that a huge issue but mention it as this was not in any of the other reviews. Owner was kind and prompt and left instructions to contact neighbors if dogs barked but I didn’t feel comfortable doing that every morning at 6am, personally.

Hale Leilani a lovely place to stay

The property was exactly as described. We did have two issues. The first issue the property owner has no control over. The house next door has a barking dog. Our last night there it woke us up at midnight and continued to bark until 3:15 am. We never went back to sleep. The other problem was the steep driveway. We parked on the street due to the incline. My husband is disabled and walks with a cane. He held onto the railing and I held onto his other arm and walked him down. Then I walked each piece of luggage down one at a time. It is a very steep incline to walk up the drive. I go to the gym five times a week and am physically fit, yet it was difficult for me to walk up the drive. This was the only negative about our stay. Therefore I would not recommend anyone with a mobility problem to stay there.

Everything you need if staying in hilo

House was perfect for us. Nice yard for kids to play in and a nice neighborhood. Kitchen was stocked nicely with cookware and supplies. So nice they supply beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and a large cooler. We had a blast and appreciated all the extras the host provided.we had a minor issue with the toilet and they were fast in responding and addressing it. Would highly recommend staying here for families.

Hilo neighborhood stay

The property was exactly as listed. Lots of pros - it was very clean, a stocked kitchen with anything you would need to cook or pack a lunch for the beach, large living room, comfy beds and a nice bathroom with extras like cotton balls and q-tips. There was even welcome gifts. I was nervous about the reviews of the barking dog next door, but it wasn't an issue for us. Overall, a central location for a stay in Hilo. I would suggest you stop Hawaiian Style Cafe and Cupcakes, Boom! (both within walking distance). We also ate at Cafe Pesto in downtown Hilo which was excellent. Thanks for a great stay!

Great set up

The bedroom arrangement was nice with two on one side of the bathroom and one on the other. The living area was large with a big comfy couch. The bed we were in was too firm for our liking so the couch was a good alternative for my partner to sleep on. The shower has a rainfall shower head and modern drainage and tile work. The overall decor was very tasteful. The only negative was car noise, an occasional plane overhead, close neighbor with large barking dogs (but the neighbors control quickly). We didn’t see a sign behind the kitchen door about a tenant below us and were shocked the first time we saw someone so perhaps this should be mentioned in the property description. One of the friends used a wheelchair and could get around the house but he did have to climb three steps to get into it. Still, it worked out nicely for us.

comfortable and convenient

The location was great for us with access to many groceries and local food shops. Our stay was definitely too short, and if we could have stayed longer, I would not have tired of this place. Yes the frogs are noisy at night and the dogs do bark (they sound very close and big!!) but everything calmed down as we wandered off to sleep. I did not mind the rooster in the morning because it reminded me of my old neighborhood in LA. So if anyone is a light sleeper beware!! I did notice that the host left us each had a pair of earplugs with the shampoo. I did not need them. The decent from the street to the house on the driveway is quite steep and the first few times I could hear the bottom of the car scrape as we descended down and we ascended up the driveway. After that we figured out how to avoid that so beware if you are driving a low to the ground vehicle. You can avoid that altogether if you park on the street. I would definitely would rent this place again. This was my first time in Hilo and I hope to return soon.

Good location, in downtown hilo

The house is perfect. Very cute. It has a very steep driveway down to the house so we almost drove past it the first time. It is located in a downtown so it's close to everything. There wasn't ripe fruit in the trees, my husband was sad about that. The frogs were so loud we didn't get any sleep the first night. The neighbor German shepherd dogs barked until midnight. We bought earplugs and you could still hear the frogs, they are that loud. They left a number to call the neighbors about the dogs. I did text her the second night when we couldn't sleep and the dogs were quiet after that. So not a lot the homeowner can do, I don't hold that against them. Just a hard situation.

Our own bungalow lifestyle vacation

This home is absolutely charming and cozy (not small kine cozy). The location is perfect for going in any direction and finding adventure. There were only two issues that we came across. It took more time than usual to start the smart oven and a couple of neighbors believe its pau Hana every day. We did find we kept ourselves busy and the result was utter exhaustion by the end of the day. The coqui frogs had the same effect but the random and rhythmic timing of the calls was tolerable and we all went right to sleep. The experience was terrific and this house was more than we could have expected

Good location in Hilo

The rooms were clean and the beds comfortable. The host had coffee and cookies for us when we arrived. The host also provided a lot of information about the surrounding area. The kitchen had a lot of pans for cooking and that was helpful. The actual location was near the downtown area, restaurants and grocery stores. However, the neighbors were loud late at night.

Great Leaping off point

Enjoyed our stay here. It was the perfect spot to go north towards Waipio Valley or to Volcano National Park or just hang around Hilo. It is in a neighborhood and need windows open for air (which was refreshing) but if your not used to night sounds you might need some ear plugs. Loved the welcome gift of local flavors. Overall great place to stay.

Pleasant comfortable home

Pleasant, comfortable home, nicely set up for guests. It is in the city, so a bit noisy: barking dogs, one night the neighbors had a party, roosters in the morning, and coquis at night. Light sleepers should pack earplugs. I was visiting friends in Hilo, so the location was convenient. We also used it as a base to explore Volcanos Park and the coastline to the south. We enjoyed our stay here.
