About this property

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.

Decent stay at Hilo

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The vacation rental was located close to Hilo downtown and made it easy for us to visit the attractions around Hilo and Volcanoes national park. The property itself was a little dated. They didn’t have basic supplies like shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. Apart from this had a decent experience!

Explanation for my 4 star rating

My family and I were very impressed with this home. the reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating was because the yard needed to be mowed, and weeding needed to be done especially around the entrance and front yard. Also, there was a little musty smell in the house. Everything else was excellent!

Loved the area! House was clean. Funny part was when a neighbor asked if we seen a goat running around. I guess someone lost their pet goat. Would definitely stay at this property again!

sweet house

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).

Excellent for a short time stay. Nice quiet neighborhood.

A pleasant Hawaiian type house. We loved it, but if you want TV and air conditioning, this is not your place. Inconvient to have to take trash because of an early morning flight.

It was fine.

It wasnt filthy, but it could have been cleaner. Everything was neat & tidy. There were cockroaches, like a lot of them. We kept no food out. But for example after washing the dishes and letting the drain there were tons of roaches on the counter in the sink on the dishes that were just washed. Other than that it was decent. Was in a convenient location to the places we were visiting, nice quiet neighborhood. Wouldnt recommend really cooking due to the roaches.

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: We enjoyed our stay at the Hilo Hale Kaumana during our recent trip in January 2023, to visit family members who live nearby, and still have our own place with other family who came with us. It was great to have 2 full bathrooms along with 3 bedrooms, a full kitchen w/dishwasher, oven, stovetop, microwave, washer and dryer (right in carport) and lanai. Very nice place to stay, close to downtown Hilo and nearby beaches, and other sites. Would definitely rent this house again! Mahalo! :)

Quiet and charming, right down to the morning chicken parade and the peeping toads at night. Highly recommended for those looking for R&R.
