Situated in Hilo, this charming entire house for £354 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. Aloha!
We are Keone and Yonnell Farias. We were both born and raised here on this wonderful island. We welcome you to our beautiful new home and would be happy to share with you our favorite places. Located in a quiet neighborhood of Waiakea Uka, we are a short 10-minute ride from the airport, 35 minutes to the Volcano, and just a few minutes from local grocery stores and eateries!
Waiākea Uka is translated as "the mountainside" of Waiākea. There are beautiful views of both Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa mountain. The University of Hawaii at Hilo is located in the Waiākea district as well. There are parks and convenience stores within walking distance to the house but a car would be more suitable.
Our house is your home away from home.
We want you to feel at home during your stay. We also respect your privacy. The keypad entry allows you to come and go at your convenience. We live nearby and are only a call or text away for any questions, suggestions, and housekeeping needs you may have.
We're sad to add this to our message to guests but care about your security and hard-earned money: We are a legally registered property, all bookings are only done on rental sites, we would not solicit through social media messaging. Please do not book or send money through them.

Nov 2019Yonelle and Keone provided a wonderful home and personal experience for us while in Hilo. It was wonderful to “come home” after a busy day and be able to relax, fix dinner, or visit in comfort.
The first night we arrived we had trouble hooking up to the internet. Even though Yonelle was out of town and Keone had guests, Keone was here in minutes to help us remedy our problem.
They were wonderful hosts.
One suggestion is to not have such a high fee for using the grill. We had planned to grill fresh fish one night but did not want to pay $25 to grill one meal.
We wish them well. Mahalo. Read more

Jul 2022Wonderful place to stay away from home. Great location puts it minutes from anywhere in Hilo. Owners were a pleasure to work with and communicated very well. They also anticipated most travelers' needs and had everything we needed on hand. Read more

Jul 2021What a tremendous stay in Hilo.
This home was in the perfect location. Close proximity to Volcano, downtown, Rainbow Falls and others.
The home is pristine. SPOTLESS. Clearly the owners take great pride in their property. We had everything we needed. From laundry detergents to extra towels and fresh eggs from the chicken out in the backyard.
Our family and friends enjoyed this stay and will definitely be back again if we find our travels in Hilo. Read more

Apr 2022We stayed for two nights and saw many waterfalls off the highway and turtles at Hilo ocean spots. This was a clean, comfortable home to use as a base camp. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. The frogs were very loud at night but that was also part of the fun. The owner provided a bunch of delicious fresh eggs from their chickens. It’s in a neighborhood so occasionally we’d hear some barking dogs. It was nice to be able to park in the garage. Thanks for sharing your home. Read more

Mar 2019We only stayed 2 nights but thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was easy to find in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of room. Loved the ‘night sounds’ of frogs, etc. Yonnell and Keone had fresh eggs from their chickens and some fruit from the citrus trees. Everything was perfect! Read more

Feb 2019We had a wonderful time staying at this house. Very quiet location -- except for the comforting sounds of exotic birds and frogs, which I already miss -- yet only a little over 10 minutes from "downtown" Hilo. Very nice accommodations with everything we needed. I arise earlier than the rest of my family and I really enjoyed sitting on the couch in the living room, drinking coffee, reading, and frequently looking out the back window to see Mauna Kea - very enjoyable (the mountain is often obscured by clouds since, after all, this is the "wet" side of the island, but still we saw the mountain many many times since, after all, these clouds are not relentless as they are in Seattle, my home town). We had a couple of needs that the owners, Yonnell and Keone, quickly took care of, and they had some great suggestions for places to go and things to do in the area. I would have no hesitation in renting this place again. Read more

Mar 2021This property is so perfect for anyone looking to stay and experience Hilo. Communication with owners was above and beyond and they did everything to make us feel welcome and at home. We are used to island living and some of the challenges that come with trying to keep unwanted critters out, but this house was impeccable. The owners even shared some fresh eggs from their chickens that made a delicious breakfast for our family. They have thought of everything and added beautiful touches throughout the home and the rooms are amazing with plenty of space to unpack and an enormous garage offering privacy and security for your belongings in your rental car. I can’t emphasize how much we enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend to anyone looking to enjoy Hilo. Well done! Read more

Oct 2021This property is centrally located - so close to restaurants and shops, around 40 mins from Volcanoes National Park and just 10 mins to the airport. The house is clean and perfect for a family of 6 adults. Appreciated the attached garage especially during rainy days. The owners are responsive and quick to help out with any issues. I highly recommend this place and will definitely come back here on our future trip to Hilo. Read more

Jul 2018This is a lovely, modern house. The house is very bright with beautiful floors and modern appliances. I appreciated that that master bedroom is across the house from the two additional bedrooms, providing plenty of privacy. It has a large garage, making it easy to park, and a nice kitchen. The home is a few minutes outside Hilo downtown in a residential neighborhood. You can get downtown in 10 minutes.
A couple of things I would have appreciated. The BBQ requires an additional fee to use which was a disappointment. We ended up cooking our burgers and chicken on the stovetop to avoid the fee. Also, it would be nice to include a full jar of olive oil. We ran out of oil which made cooking challenging. Other than that, this place is wonderful and great for a family or friends! Read more

May 2022This house was the perfect choice for our family. It was immaculately clean - floors, bathrooms, kitchen, everything. The house was incredibly well stocked - cooking essentials and extras, a cooler, beach towels, beach gear, and more. We even noticed that they had lots of things for people traveling with babies.
All of the beds were comfortable. Water pressure in the bathrooms was good. The washer and dryer are nice, full-size models. The kitchen appliances are also really nice and in excellent condition.
As Texans, it was an adjustment for us to leave windows open instead of having an air conditioner, but I grew to really enjoy the fresh air and the island sounds. Light sleepers might struggle with the local frog songs, but that seems to just be a part of life around Hilo. Closing the windows blocks the sound almost completely.
My entire family loved this house and agreed that it was the best place we stayed on the Big Island. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Read more

Aug 2018This house is wonderful for a family or small group staying in Hilo; everything visitors need is a short drive away. The layout of a master bedroom with a bath as well as two bedrooms with a bath on the opposite side of the house seems like it would work well for a variety of groups. The common area accommodates the whole group comfortably. Additionally, the house is very clean with most items a traveler would need to get started. We would definitely stay again! Read more

Mar 2021This house has everything you could possibly need - sand toys, snorkel gear, flashlights, and fresh eggs! The hosts are a delight to communicate with and the house is stylishly decorated. We ventured to Volcano National Park for a day and also checked out Rainbow Falls and Richardson’s Beach Park. We also went to the Hilo farmer’s market - the house is close to so many cool things! And we enjoyed the games and books at the house in the evenings when we returned from our adventures. We had an amazing time and would definitely stay here again! Read more

Jun 2022The property location is awesome, it is in the local hub of things and places. I love that the owners used sound proof windows because the croqui frogs get loud at night. The owners live behind you on the same lot. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with exception to the dining area. There is no privacy because no curtain was placed. The owners and their family can see what you’re doing if they wanted to, not that we were doing anything wrong. It’s just a privacy thing, especially when we dine with our family we wanted that. Mahalo to the owners for allowing us to stay in their beautiful home! Read more

Jan 2019Our family of four stayed at this lovely house as we explored the east side of the island. We had a wonderful time: the beaches and parks in Hilo which were fabulous, the drive to Volcano National Park is scenic and easy, and the caves & waterfalls in Hilo are beautiful. We saw sea turtles as soon as we got to the beach on our first day! The house is very clean and comfortable: we slept well, we ate well, and we were very sad to leave! Read more

Jul 2022Our family from Kauai and Oahu needed a place for 2 nights to attend our son’s graduation from firefighter recruit training. This VRBO was the perfect place for a local family like ours. Extremely well kept and clean. Yonnell was also a great communicator. I highly recommend Uhi Wai and would absolutely stay here again if ever coming back to Hilo. Read more

Dec 2017One always wonders what condition their vacation rental will be in. Will it be comfortable, clean, enjoyable and nice? Uhi Wai fits all of the above and MORE!!! This home is truly your home away from home! Well furnished and new, it was always a delight to come back to at the end of an active day. You couldn't ask for a more well stocked kitchen, very clean and spacious. From the beautiful dining table, we enjoyed lovely, full views of Mauna Kea. I grew up in Hilo so I know Hilo. This home is in a nice neighborhood that's quiet and safe and very much within the proximity of Hilo town. It's situated above Hilo where the mountain breezes keep it cooler than Hilo town itself. I enjoyed walks outside with my grandson every morning. We appreciated that the master bedroom is on one side of the home, separate from the other two bedrooms so there is lots of privacy when you're traveling with another couple, which we were. We left very happy with our stay and highly recommend Uhi Wai to you. You won't be disappointed. Thank you , Yonnell and Keone for welcoming us with a lovely gift bag and sharing all the comforts of your wonderful, inviting home of Uhi Wai! We'll be back again!! Read more

One of the better appointed kitchens we've had in a rental - a shame we were only there for two nights. Located in a pleasant and quiet neighbourhood, only a short drive from shops/groceries, a little longer to downtown Hilo. Clear instructions and communication from the hosts - they even left us a lovely welcome gift. Read more
