Like other reviewers have said, this place is truly idyllic. The beauty of the setting, the comfortableness of the home (and beds), and the peace of the location make it a wonderful place to restore and really soak up the island energy. It's close to so many beautiful things if you want to ever leave the property. There's everything you need in the kitchen and the best view right from the house or patio as you enjoy breakfast, cocktails, whatever. The hosts could not be more gracious. They made everything easy and upon learning our daughter loved animals made time in their busy days to include her in some animal interactions that were among her highlights of the whole trip.

Gorgeous setting offering views and peaceful quiet. Wonderful combination of both being "away from it all" and offering comfort and upscale accommodations. Hosts could not have been more welcoming and accessible when needed.

Amazing property and amazing stay! Aldene and Eddie were perfect hosts. We started our stay with an ATV tour of the property and loved feeding the sheep. The waterfall on the property was beautiful and listening to it was mesmerizing. And the view of Hilo Bay was magnificent. The house was comfortable and provided alot of space for our family of 5.

Amazing property!

I can not say enough good things about this place. The house is comfortable & clean with lots of space. The property and the view are truly breathtaking. If you are looking for an "off the beaten path" true Hawaiian experience away from the resort scene, this is it! Eddie and Aldene are the most gracious hosts and even took us around the property. This is by far my favorite vacation rental we have ever stayed in. We will definitely be back!

Fabulous hosts

Group of 6 women stayed for 11 nights competing in an outrigger canoe event. Our hosts, Eddie and Aldine were fantastic, so friendly and accomodating, 100 out of 100. Nothing was too much trouble and they certainly went the extra mile. Views are amazing and an easy 20 minute drive to Hilo township. We would definitely recommend.

perfect house in the middle of paradise

This house was perfect for the group of six. The house is open and welcoming, with one huge bedroom plus two smaller ones. The living room and kitchen are functional and user friendly. There are two terraces, one big and accommodating six, the other small, good for contemplation by one or two. The outside is perfect, including the waterfall and the lake below it.

A Magical Place to Stay!

This VRBO lived up to its beautiful picture! The waterfall was right outside the terrace and my grandsons made the trek down to it twice a day to swim, dive off the rocks, and hunt prawns. The views of the ocean and the countryside were gorgeous from every window and outside seating area!The house itself was so comfortable and convenient for our group of a grandmother, a dad, and two teen-age boys. Close to Hilo but still secluded and private. The hosts were amazingly kind and took us on a fun ATV ride of the 20 acre property, showing us the sweet potato fields, the macadamia nut orchard, and the chickens, goats, and sheep. They gave us some great tips on local sites to visit. I HIIGHLY recommend this VRBO!

Paradise on the Big Island

This place could not be any more perfect! Absolutely gorgeous setting on a macadamia nut farm with a view over Hilo Bay. Each day we were there I had my coffee on the patio watching a gorgeous sunrise with Mauna Kea behind us. The house is beautiful, stocked with everything you need. It’s a quick drive into Hilo and the hosts are fantastic! Eddie and Aldean are so sweet, gave us a tour of the farm and an amazing hike/scramble down to the waterfall below the house. This is one of the most amazing places I’ve ever stayed!

Paradise just outside Hilo.

This place was great. Just what we were looking for. The waterfall in the back yard was a nice surprise. Loved the relatively close proximity to downtown Hilo. Only complaint was for the birds outside the bedroom window, if we could put a muzzle on them at night that would be great... Haha.

Unforgettable

I really want to write a bad review, so I can keep this rental for myself, but I can’t. We are a family of 6, and the property fit us all comfortably with extra room to spare. The beds were great and the views were breathtaking. The real reason for my great review was Aldene and Eddie. They were fabulous hosts. They were welcoming and informative. We experienced a lot of the hidden gems on Hilo because of them. We now consider them Ohana because of this stay. They treated my family like their own and made sure we felt at home. The sunrise was awesome from this property! The attached pictures don’t really capture the property’s true beauty.

Magical Hideaway in Hilo Staying at this unique rental in Hilo was an unforgettable experience. Nestled in a beautifully remote location, the home offers breathtaking views of the ocean and a stunning waterfall right outside your patio—it’s like waking up in a dream.The property itself has so much character, and one of our favorite memories was listening to the rain rhythmically dance on the roof at night. It was serene, powerful, and incredibly peaceful. The home is not a luxury setup, but it's nonetheless extremely comfortable and well appointed. What truly made our stay exceptional were the hosts. They were kind, welcoming, and generous with their time. They gave us a personal tour of their incredible farm, and even gifted us fresh eggs from their chickens—such a special and thoughtful touch.If you're looking for a stay that connects you with nature and offers genuine hospitality, this place is it. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already dreaming about our next visit.

Beautiful Serene Location near Hilo

It sounds odd to say, but of all the things we did on our beautiful Hawaii vacation, I will remember this VRBO the most. The location is absolutely gorgeous! We arrived at night, so imagine our surprise the next morning to find a stunning view from the back porch and a waterfall below the back yard. The hosts are very friendly and attentive and help you with any needs and even extras. This is not your typical VRBO. It's not an impersonal condo unit or a house on a neighborhood street. The cabin-like house is up a dirt road and off by itself on a secluded farm. The hosts are on-site and always available to help. It has a few lighting issues, but it is clean and bug-free. One drawback is that the sixth bed is a fold out and does not have a room of it's own, so it is difficult for an adult to use. There is no air conditioning or wi-fi. We just left the windows open and enjoyed the cool air and sounds of nature. The cell service is good enough to run a hot-spot if needed. If you like the outdoors and are looking for the most unique and beautiful place you've ever stayed, than I would suggest this for you.

Loved the property. Truly heavenly.

Oh my gosh, this house and grounds are truly beautiful. All is as they say it is..... The only changes I might suggest are a bit larger eating table as we were crowded with 6. And, the one other thing was that with the light outside, it was difficult to watch daytime television.........which is only needed for sporting events of course...........suggest blinds that pull down on the two windows behind the tv. When we do visit the big Island again, we will want to stay here when in Hilo.

Awesome views, clean, off grid living, beautiful wood beams, and quiet. They also had a telescope to see the stars. The stars are beautiful because the city lights are far away. They even had a rice cooker and blender. Lots of towels and extra blankets. They have a washer dryer so you don't have to over pack. Hilo town is about 10 minutes away. Their welcoming package was the cherry on top.

Amazing

This place is outstandingly beautiful. With its rich overtones of green brushes and trees surrounding the home, there is a balance between relaxation and revitalization. Call it what you will, a confluence of grandeur and perseverance, this place is no less than pure awesomeness. Tucked away in the Onomea Farms on a 20 acre lot rests a little (okay not so little) home of pure happiness. Yes there is a waterfall. Yes, they have tiki torches. Yes, no wifi (and that is a good thing). Screw the Turtle Bay Resort or the Four Seasons, this my friends is the five star you've been waiting. No butlers here, no waiting staff or concierge and in truth, you'll be glad you didn't stay at the Ritz or Fairmont Orchid. Did our family enjoy the Hilo outings? Yes. Did we enjoy the volcano tour? Of course we did. But knowing in the back of our minds, we looked forward to returning home (for a week any way). Oh we cooked everyday there (though we loved Ken's Pancake House). Stopping at the local KTA gave us pure enjoyment as we searched for the best spam musubi or poke. No Wholefoods here, KTA has everything. The view from home (and yes I call it home) feels like we stopped in time. Taking it all in no less. And I for one, have lots of time to soak in.

Beautiful peaceful House with great view

We stayed 4 nights in this wonderful house and it was a pity that we could not stay longer. Our 3 sons (14, 17, 19) and we enjoyed this very special place above Hilo with great sunrises in the morning, beautiful (slightly hidden) views to Mauna Kea, great views to Hilo Bay at night. There is a "private" waterfall right next to the house with very relaxing sounds. The sound of the tree frogs is special but we even enjoyed that. This property is just perfectly prepared and breakfast outside was one of the highlights for our family. Lots of things to see in close distance (Volcano National Park, Akaka-Falls, Tropical Botanical Garden, Rainbow Falls. We saw Turtles and white spottet rays on the coconut Island and enjoyed to swim in the ocean there. It was a pity that because of those many things to see, we could not spend more time on this property. We would definitely come back, if Germany would not be so far from Hawaii. Thank you so much, Beth and Kevin for the wonderful flowers and welcome basket and that you have shared this place with us! Klaus and family

Solitude Paradise

We decided to rent a home for this trip since it was a family affair. We specifically wanted to come stay on the Hilo side due to its greener and lush atmosphere. While thumbing through the list of houses to rent, this little jewel came across my path. My friend Rick who was helping me find places, stopped dead in his tracks and said this is the one I should rent to spend time with my family. Best decision made! Nestled away in the midst of a macadamia farm, it was a so private, serene and peaceful. The view of the bay from the patio is just mesmerizing while the sound of the waterfall and the Coqui frogs at night felt as if the natural habitat around sings in concert to welcome you to the environment. The welcome basket with goodies was a pleasant surprise. While the open concept of the home allowed for everyone to be in incommunicado with each other, the outside grounds had ample lush green grass for kids to run around and enjoy. We definitely made memories of our family vacation at this little private paradise. We definitely hope to return again for another family event. After showing pictures and sharing our experiences on our return, a co-worker stated it was exactly what she would like to experience with her family. So, there you go Keith and Beth, future renters for next summer. Ps. Thank you Keith for the fresh pineapple right off the plant.

Tranquil beauty

We had breakfast on the front porch while we listened to the waterfall and birds, breath in the clean tropical mountain air, viewed the beautiful blue ocean, and laughed loudly in our privacy. My husband and I stayed in the Ohana which gave us lots of privacy. Our Children enjoyed the luxury of the main house which is just beautiful with all the amenities of a modern home but the peace and beauty of the island environment. the macadamia trees, the gokey frogs, etc were a part of the great experience, especially for our grandson. We absolutely loved this place and would recommend it 100%!

Paradise

We absolutely loved this place! The house itself is so open and roomy and had everything we needed to make our stay so enjoyable. And the view is absolutely amazing-the pictures don't do it justice. We loved spending our evenings sitting on the back deck enjoying the view and listening to the incredible waterfall. It truly is a special place that we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Hilo.
