Relaxing stay in quiet neighborhood, short distance from Hilo
We enjoyed our stay in the Keau house very much. I love staying in this area because you're so close to so many great attractions (hot springs, volcano ntl. park, and Hilo). The owners were very responsive and provide everything you need with detailed instructions. The property has a ton of great plants and fruits and has a great country feel to it. The back lanai is an excellent spot to relax. We'd definitely look for availability in the future!

Hilo Paradise Park
This rental was easy to locate, very easy to rent, with a quick response from the owners to guide us through the checkin process. It was located within a few miles of the local convenient store and town centres (Hilo and Pahoa), which had multiple restaurants and shopping, by locally owned. A short drive to many sites/walking trails while in Hilo. Only 40 miles to the Volcano National Park. The property itself was very neat, clean, organized and comfortable. Complete with a carport for guest parking, as it was raining when we arrived. We were extremely grateful nothing got wet as we unloaded the car. (A very huge bonus to the accommodations). The garden on the property was a nice additional feature, as the owners left us help ourselves to their garden. The bed was very comfortable and there was laundry on site. The host were amazing and made sure we had everything that we needed, and made sure the football games was on the TV as it was Super Bowl Sunday, (upon arrival). The host were very kind and considerate. We will be renting from them again.

Wonderful hosts and property
Lester and Susie were fantastic hosts. So generous and kind. The property was clean and instructions for everything very clear. The property itself is a gem. Our kids enjoyed exploring and looking for geckos and frogs. The set up was great for our family of two adults and two kids. They shared the pull out couch and it worked great. We would definitely recommend a stay.

Perfect location
We enjoyed the beautiful landscape (including the organic garden). The location was close proximity to everything including volcanos, lava tubes, beaches, shopping center, etc.The host and manager ( on site) were wonderful. We were traveling with young children and the space was what they needed to explore(vs a hotel/resort). We will definitely come again. Thank you for the hospitality!
