The location was fantastic. There were plenty of beds for a large family. We really appreciated the paddle boards and kayaks. This trip will definitely be one the kids remember!
Beautiful ocean views from the balconies, very roomy and comfortable. Our group of 12 fit nicely around the large dining room table.Steps away from the tide pools and beach across the street.
This house was amazing. Everything we needed for the baby was there and there was so much room even with 14 people and 4 generations. The beach parks right across the street were amazing and everything we could want for playing in the water was at the house. Spectacular experience.
This location was perfect for all of our family to stay in one place while exploring the Hilo area. Lots of bedrooms, bathrooms and a large gathering area. We didn't get to use any of the water equipment available to us because it rained most of our stay, but there's lots there to use and great tide pools and protected areas across the street.
Had a great time, house is gorgeous and the view is amazing. We had a group of 11 people and had so much room. Everyone loved it, would definitely recommend it! Thanks
Spacious home with plenty of room for everyone. Wonderful location with ocean views. We saw sea turtles at the nearby beach park. Lots of beach items for use. We especially enjoyed snorkeling and getting up early to see the sunrise.
This home made my 30th Birthday a dream come true. It was clean, beautiful and was in the perfect location. The BEST snorkeling is literally right across the street. We saw so many turtles! Book this home if you want a serene vacation surrounded by nature.
This home had everything we needed for a wonderful week of family fun!! Perfect location right across the street from two beach parks and easy drives to local attractions. Amazing views! So much room for our four generations to spend time together and yet have separate time when needed. The host was very responsive. The house was well supplied.
Beautiful house and great location. Appreciate all the little touches (first aid kits in the bathrooms, plenty of beach towels and beach supplies, extra blankets/pillows etc). Owner was responsive and kind. Will be returning.
We stayed at this location with 10 persons, and had a wonderful time. House was clean, had everything we needed for cooking, recreation and of course the location was fantastic. Had a wonderful time, highly recomend. Only minor complaint was that discription said there was AC, which is true, just not in the bedrooms, things turned out ok becuase we had cool nights. Regardless great house.
We had 3 generations together for the holiday and this house was perfect for us. Lot's of Bedrooms (6), bathrooms galore, 2 kitchens, 2 Washer/Dryers, 2 nice family rooms, a great open air deck for everybody to hang out and watch the ocean. It had everything we needed. The only thing we missed was we would have liked to watch one big rain storm like you always hear about in Hilo, but in 11 days it only drizzled for a couple hours :)
We are a party of nine, three generations, and we all enjoyed our stay so much! The spaces we have is more than what we need as the house can sleep up to 16. Check in was easy. There were plenty of amenities provided. We walked every morning exploring the beach and snorkel every afternoon and evening. Thank you so much for opening you house to us.
We had 3 families, 11 people total, 2 children 3 & 8. The ability to have our own family spaces and the adult children their own beds, was so valuable. We joined together when desired and could be on our own as desired. The patio windows that opened up completely to the lanai was where we always gathered. Beautiful view from the lanai, just like the picture on vrbo. So impressed with how well everything was stocked and such variety of items available to us from the kitchen tools to linens, including first aid kits in every bathroom. This was so much like home, and we certainly didn't want to leave. The beach items available kept us constantly entertained. Thank you for such a wonderful place!
Great location with best snorkeling ever, just across the street. House was large and provided great views. Property manager is very accommodating and responsive. Hilo and area is amazing.
Hilo is very very humid, we had 84% humidity and 80 degrees most days so it is MUGGY during months with higher temps. When searching for rentals we required air conditioning as one of our search screens and this home pops up. There is one wall unit for a very large house. Has no impact on cooling. Things are a little moist inside. Just be careful in hot months. Otherwise we really liked the place.

The house has a 3.5 ton unit for the upstairs living room. It is the right size for 1,800 sq. ft (the total upstairs), but it obviously would require one to close all the windows. I'm guessing that wasn't done. Of course, if you come home and it is open and hot inside, it will take time to make a difference. But it is not an undersized unit. But I agree, Hawaii in summer is hot and humid, similar to south Florida.
About the host
Hosted by Richard Standke
I own 5 of the 10 homes across from Richardson's Beach Park, the most sought after spot in the Hilo area if you want to stay near the ocean. Renting and maintaining the homes is what I do full time. Let me know what you are after and I'll suggest the right house for you.
Why they chose this property
This is the nicest house in the Hilo area. Built to be a vacation rental with sleeping for up to 16, a very large living room and dining room table with views across the Pacific. This house is only 3.5 miles from downtown. Be careful of properties that are far away from Hilo. Most of the activities are in the Hilo area. Visit my hilovacationhomes site for all my homes and the best list of activities separated by driving direction.
What makes this property unique
Enjoy the beach park across the small street with complimentary kayaks, stand up paddle boards, boogie boards, shorkeling gear and booties. Enjoy the best snorkeling on this side of the Island by walking across the street. The beach park is home to a black sand beach and many Green Sea Turtles.
