About this house rental

Enter the home onto the grand lanai (porch) which is fully screened in and offers a view of the manicured acre with Hilo Bay views in the distance. Through the front doors you'll be greeted by our huge living room. The original hardwood floors and plantation era architectural details are unique to Hilo homes from the 1920s and 1930s. This huge living area books on history and art of Hawaii, a large flat-screen TV, high-speed Wi-Fi internet and luxurious lounging area big enough for your whole family. NOTE: there are no TV channels so bring your streaming login info!

There are four bedrooms and two bathrooms in the home that are artfully decorated with historic representations of 'old Hawaii'. The kitchen at the back of the house is bright and full of windows to take in your Hawaiian landscape. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you may need to cook a big meal or heat up your restaurant leftovers. Seating for 8 at the dining table and seating for 6 at the kitchen table with additional seating on the lanai.

My Hilo Home is planted with lots of tropical fruiting trees and plants. Enjoy juicy pineapples from our pineapple patch in summer months, tangy lychee from our ancient lychee tree in spring and citrus in the winter. There is also a breadfruit tree for those adventurous travelers who want to try a unique starch (please follow in-house instructions on preparing the difficult fruit!).

Four comfortable bedrooms line one side of the private home. Three of the bedrooms have queen size beds and the fourth has two twin beds (max occupancy is 8 guests). Each of the two bathrooms has a marble shower and one bathroom has a small bathtub. A pack-n-play is available for our guests with babies. The kitchen has an electric cook-top, electric oven, dishwasher, refrigerator and washer/dryer for laundry. All kitchen dishes and small appliances are available for your use. The house is immaculately cleaned between guests (at check-out) and mid-stay cleaning is an optional add-on.

Book with confidence—this is a licensed, legal vacation rental managed by professionals with decades of local experience. Always double check that you are booking a place that is operating legally in Hawaii - no surprises, just aloha!

What a beautiful house to share with my ohana. House was big enough for multiple generations to stay and feel comfortable. My 75 yr old mom’s favorite start of the day was walking around the yard, watching the sunrise and then using the fresh fruit as part of our breakfast. For the younger generations, it was close enough to walk to downtown and go to the shops, down town concert, and farmers market. Loved our stay.

Beautiful property very close to Hilo Town. We loved exploring the variety of fruit trees on the property and watching wild life from the lanai. Our friends and family said it was a trip to remember.
