Waterfront vacation rentals in Hilo

The place was exactly as described. It was very clean and well organized. All the stuff in the unit were high quality, all worked well. Really only issue is development is under some construction and some of the front parking was sort of closed off while the back by the unit was under construction as well. Very minor and I would recommend to anybody to stay there.

Beautiful location! Faces and oversees the ocean. There's a small mart nearby (a two minute drive) from the farm that has most things you'll need without having to drive out to a city. Owners supplied the majority of what we needed, including pots and pans, utensils, and some spices. They also provided us with a half dozen of farm fresh eggs! Lots of farm life, including chickens, geese, geckos, etc. Highly recommend this location!

Great spot! Comfortable space that had everything we needed. It was especially nice watching the sunrise over the park every morning. The location worked well for us. Centrally located, walkable, and easy to stop by between activities.

Scott's place is a little remote area tucked away in Kehena. Walking distance is a beautiful black sand beach that was honestly the most beautiful one I visited during my time in Hawai'i. The accommodation itself was well maintained, and Scott was such a pleasure. He's so friendly and would chat me up and check in whenever he saw me walk up to the property. This is overall an excellent spot. Tip: Be a little prepared on your journey here -- depending on your provider you might not get service, so GPS is hard to come by. I also could not make calls or check texts, which wasn't so much an issue once I settled in. The Big Island is also, well, big, and it takes more than an hour to get to places from Scott's, but with a little planning, you can get by just fine!

The perfect place for a quick trip to Hilo. We would stay there again.

Excellent location, very quiet with amazing views from the window/balcony. Comes with dedicated parking space, instructions are inside the apartment along with the pass. The apartment itself is clean, bright, plenty of the space for two people. The kitchen and bathroom are old, but that’s not a negative, everything worked and clean, just not seen a 1980s dishwasher in a long time! Would highly recommend for staying in Hilo

Sierra has put a lot of thought and effort into making this a beautiful and comfortable place to stay while exploring Hilo and the Big Island, or just relaxing. The covered screened porch, with a pair of comfortable chairs, was lovely, and especially welcome the day the it rained hard all day. There is everything needed prepare your own meals, but restaurants are only a few minutes away. Arriving and departing were easy.

The Whale House was even better than advertised! The location was easy to find and so beautiful! We used this as our home away from home to explore Volcanoes National Park, Punalu’u Black sand beach, Volcano winery, and multiple waterfalls. Our family also enjoyed relaxing, reading, and napping on the lanai and in the hammock swings. The garden out back was a delight to explore. The lava cliffs were also very cool!! David & Chrystal provided everything we needed and more! The kitchen was well equipped- we made several meals. The cooler and beach equipment came in handy when we visited the black sand beach. The bikes were also a nice bonus. We really never wanted to leave and would love to come back soon!

Robert and Erin were great hosts and communicators. The house is located across a beautiful park/beach. Even though the park was busy it didn’t fell intrusive at all, we loved having our coffee on the front porch in the mornings and unwinding in it at night. We have young boys who loved all the chickens and lizards in the yard, and seeing the sea turtles across the street. Overall the house is in great shape and met our expectations!

One of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed. Janice was so kind and communicated great with us. The view is even better in person and the house was bigger in person too! Everything pictured is better than you can imagine. We saw turtles from the cliff every day! Hot tub was fun and so were the games. Neighborhood was great for walks and everyone is so friendly. We did not want to leave!

Shiva's cottage was absolutely wonderful. We loved everything about it...the deck that practically overhangs the ocean, the house layout, the design-we especially adored the kitchen floor-the whole house was beautifully decorated, with thoughtful touches throughout. Shiva was a pleasure to work with-very welcoming and great communication. The area is quiet and peaceful, which is just what we were looking for, after a busy week in Kona. Thank you Shiva for an amazing stay-we can't wait to come back!

This house is a delight! From the beautiful decor to the view of the ocean, the sound of the waves and the perfect location. Can’t wait to come back! Yes please!

Wonderful home for a vacay on the east shore. This home is so unique, built with 12 sides, it’s a clever design that keeps the home cool. We enjoyed our time on the lanai the most.

We stayed 4 days here with extended family in the smaller home on the same property and it was great. The kitchen was well stocked, there was plenty of space for our family of 5 (larger group was 10 total) to spread out. The best part was the beach across the road with good snorkeling (stronger currents so be careful) and lagoon with turtles. Plenty of outdoor gear to borrow- SUP, kayaks, small boogie boards, water shoes and snorkel/fins. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location as it’s near the beaches in Hilo, near all the major roads to go up and down the coast. Everything that they advertised was true. Quiet and friendly atmosphere. Also, very good communication by the owners. We will definitely stay again if we are on the big island.

We had a issue with the shower head on arrival. Vacasa and their team were so quick to address the issue. The gentleman who manages the entire property was so wonderful. He met us on checkin and made us feel very welcomed from the start. They were repaving the parking lot and he had an entire plan in place for parking guests as we arrived if our spot was affected by the current paving. The place was quiet and relaxing. Would recommend this location to anyone wanting to use it. We had a small child and the hosts have thought of everything there were even some kids books there :)

I was there with my boyfriend for the week. The location was great! Within walking distance g distance to great restaurants and the best farmers market I’ve ever been to. The views are absolutely stunning. Watching the sunrise in the morning was so beautiful. We felt right at home. I would definitely stay there again! Thank you so much Carla and Joe! It was a little slice of heaven there.

This condo was beautiful and spacious. She left soooo many amenities we were blown away. Like sunscreen if you needed it, woman products, creamer in the fridge, chips and macadamia nut treats. Truly a wonderful well stocked condo, not to mention the stunning view from the deck. We will stay here again for sure! Mahalo for having us

Luxe was very responsive, friendly, proactive and understanding. The apartment is beautiful and the scenery and proximity to the ocean and great snorkeling cannot be beat

Will definitely book with this host again. Very understanding and accommodating.

I have stayed in a lot of Airbnb accommodations. This condo is the best. It it's perfect for one or two people it they aren't sharing beds. I love sitting on the balcony and watching the waves. I have been here multiple times and I am very comfortable here. Restaurants, market, and beaches are close and easy to access. I love staying here. Thank you!

Sonja and Alex are exemplary Airbnb hosts! They are thoughtful and attentive. We could not have asked for more! If you are going to the Big Island, do yourself a favor and stay in this beautiful oasis. My husband and I had an amazing time, Sonja and Alex left chocolates and fresh island fruits in our space and made us feel 100% at home. Future visits to Hawaii (big island) will be spent here. Gorgeous views and peaceful surroundings. I cannot imagine finding better accommodations. Beautiful, peaceful, perfect. Mahalo Sonja and Alex, MUCH ALOHA. <3
