Hilo Vacation Rental

The on site staff was qmazing and kind. Highly detailed and did his job very well. If i visit the big island again i will be staying at this rental again partly due to the staff.

Pros: 1. The House is Very Clean, Spacious and Affordable. 2. The House is close to downtown Hilo i.e., The Hilo Farmer’s Market, Stores, Bars and Restaurants. Cons: 1. The House is along Kaumana Drive, a very busy thoroughfare especially on weekdays at the early hours of the morning. We read other people’s review on the House concerning the Noise. We thought they were highly exaggerated. They were not. The House did provide earplugs in the room. 2. The House has cameras in the Common Areas. This was disclosed in the description of the House and in the Rental Agreement. One evening, my shoes were moved from one level of the shoe rack to another less than an hour of arrival. We were reminded via text to turn-off lights when leaving a room/space. We have no issue with shoes being moved or being reminded to turn-off lights. However, it left us with the feeling that our actions and movements were being watched and monitored constantly. In our opinion, it felt creepy! In conclusion, will we ever stay in this place again? No.

It is on a busy road so it is noisy. They did provide ear plugs. Air conditioning works well. The shower is large.

The general location of this house was great. Close to Hilo shoreline (not really walkable though, walkable to some sites like rainbow falls) and easy to get anywhere you want. Checking in was incredibly easy and check out was not demanding. The interior was what I expected for the price, comfortable. You also have access to general living areas which include a full shared kitchen. They also had some on-site parking. The main issue I had was with the noise. Although it is only a two-lane road outside it is loud. And since there is no A/C (which is normally no problem in HI) you have to have the windows open to stay cool. Although they did provide ear plugs I ended up having to sleep with my noise-cancelling headphones. So if you are a light sleeper be prepared. Overall I was satisfied with the experience and would stay again

If you're a heavy sleeper or can sleep through anything this place will be right up your alley. If you're a light sleeper you may have a problem.The property is on an incline and cars, mostly trucks are gunning it loudly and there's also these coqui frogs that make loud noises most of night. And the neighbors cause it's in a residential neighborhood. Otherwise it's ok

The room was spacious, quite noisy at night due to the main road, the carpet was a bit dirty and needed to be stretched. The toilet was loose, the shower had some moldy tiles, a giant water stain on the ceiling, and the bottom of the sink cabinet was rotted (big hole), but other than that, the view from our room was spectacular. The bed was very comfortable, though.
