Beach house vacation rentals in Hilo

the beach is a block away, it's beautiful and comfortable

Perfect place for our family of six spanning three generations. Great spot to explore the south and east side of the island. Volcano Nat Park was close by and Hilo definitely is a foodie paradise! More rain equals more vegetation and beautiful flora and fauna. Brian’s place manages to incorporate the amenities of modern luxury living with the surrounding natural wonders seamlessly.

We had a party of 6 which included a 6 and 9 year old. The home was clean, especially the bathrooms and kitchen you felt right at home. Although no AC it was still comfortable with the fans and we would be out during the day where it was hot the most. The tv was available and the kids enjoyed it. Loves how there was lots of sitting space and layout of the house. Two bathrooms helped so much with the 6 of us. The outside porch was terrific too. Labels on the light switches helped and were thoughtful. A very convenient location. Thankful for airbnbs available like yours !

Pali Hale was pure magic. Perched on a cliff with breathtaking ocean views, the energy of the waves made for a serene, unforgettable stay. The home was spotless, with fresh sea breezes and subtle Hawaiian scents setting the perfect tone. Reading and meditating on the patios was a dream, and the hosts were incredibly responsive, providing great local guides. Thoughtful touches like music on arrival made it even more special. An ideal retreat for family—truly unforgettable!

We had a wonderful stay! The location was fantastic and the views were absolutely stunning. The space was beautifully decorated, cozy, and well thought out. The host was very communicative and made everything easy from start to finish. We’d love to come back!

Beautiful home, the waves put me to sleep every night as well is the comfortable mattress. Kids enjoyed playing Pac-Man and watching the Nena from the back deck. Coffee and the sunrises were the best. Thanks a lot!

Beautiful house across the toad from Kehena Beach. The rooms were beautiful and the bathrooms were immaculate. Kitchens were stocked with dishes, glasses and utensils and much more. Loved sitting on the lanai. Beautiful view of the ocean. Walking distance to the drum circle on the lawn. Just a fantastic stay!

An amazing house in a beautiful part of the island. We loved the shared and separate spaces. Would definitely stay here if we are in the area again. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend it!

Michael’s place was incredible! Every detail was thoughtful and lovely. We enjoyed coming back and relaxing everyday after exploring the beautiful island. It was clean and so comfortable, we loved every aspect of it!

The place was gorgeous, we enjoyed the pool and lime tree!! Would stay again. great location to visit my brother.

We had a great stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location was perfect—close to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The host was friendly and responsive. Would definitely stay here again!

This has been my family’s favorite Airbnb so far! We had such an amazing time for my son’s 5th birthday! Michelle and her husband made our trip so memorable with their stunningly clean home. They had everything we could have thought of and more, I loved every thoughtful touch and the beautiful decor! They were both so accommodating and flexible with check in and check out and we will be returning again asap. Thank you again you two are amazing hosts and we are so grateful for the time you gave to our family in your beautiful home!

Very nice homes on the ocean cliffs. The pool was very warm and refreshing. It was nice waking up to the beautiful view.

Such a beautiful, peaceful and private property. Postcard views everywhere you look. Clean, comfortable, and well appointed. It was hard deciding each day if we should head out and see the various sites or stay and enjoy the house. By far the quickest responding hosts we've ever had the pleasure of staying with. Our stay couldn't have been any better. We can't recommend this place enough!

Our group of 10 stayed here for 5 days and had a great experience. The house was super spacious, clean, and comfy—plenty of room for everyone to relax without feeling crowded. The full kitchen and washer/dryer were big pluses and made the stay feel easy and homey. The neighborhood was quiet and full of nature, with long roads perfect for a morning jog—I loved running along the scenic volcanic coastline. Communication with Diana was smooth and friendly, a big contrast to a previous host I’d contacted. She even had someone meet us to give a quick tour, which was really helpful. The pool and jacuzzi were awesome bonuses, but what really sold me was the space and thoughtful amenities. Highly recommend!

Beautiful home on the peaceful Hamakua Coast. Our family enjoyed a wonderful and quiet staycation - the pool was delightful and temp was just right with the cool ocean breeze. Kitchen was stocked with basic essentials making cooking easy. Very comfortable sleep spaces - cool breeze at night with windows open. Loved every minute! Suzy was very friendly and responsive. The grounds were so beautiful - lots of flowers and fruits surrounding us. I highly recommend this home as your next getaway. I will stay here again. Thank you Suzy and Peter!

What a great place! Very easy to get to, spacious, comfortable, and well appointed. Gabriel is a gracious host who really wants to ensure his guests make the MOST of their stay in the Puna district. His recs are spot on, and the home is a great home base for a couple or family (or a group of girls!) exploring the area. The garage is a welcome feature - we all know it rains a lot on the east side of the island but not needing to dodge raindrops while bringing in luggage or groceries or returning after a long day of exploring is really ono. We enjoyed nights on the lanai, breakfast too. A short walk to the cliffs (and one more block over to see a cool sea arch) to see Kanaloa battle Pele each morning is a mana-filled way to start each day. Mahalo nui loa! Until next time…

The grounds are stunningly beautiful, and so is the house. We had lovely ocean views in some of the bedrooms, and having air conditioning in the common area was appreciated with our group of mostly middle-aged women. The beds were super comfortable, we loved the private bathrooms in each bedroom, and the house was well appointed. The check in and check out process was easy peasy. We interacted with two women (Moon and June), both of whom were lovely and very responsive–especially June. There were a couple issues with some of the appliances, and we weren’t able to use them during our stay. But June and Moon made up for it in other ways. The house does smell a bit of mold, which is to be expected for an older home in a humid environment. While it did bother my sensitive lungs, fortunately, none of the rest of our family noticed. Overall, we had a wonderful time and very much enjoyed our stay at this property–we’ll definitely come back next time we’re on the Big Island!

Wonderful home with lots of charming character. We were very comfortable from toddler through grandparents. Quiet location away from the hustle but still close to other amenities.

Great little place in the jungle absolutely loved it!!!!! The space was perfect for me (the upstairs unit) and there was good air flow and lighting with proper fans. It was a little cooler than I expected and had to grab a small blanket from the closet. Grace let me extend my stay for an hour due to a yoga class I was attending ending later than expected. She was very kind and communicated with me as I arrived via text making getting acquainted much more peaceful. I felt safe and would highly recommed

Very close to Kehene, which is ideal! Big place. View from the balcony in the morning is very nice. Very clean. Andre was accommodating and responsive! I would definitely stay here again.

The house is lovely inside and the lanai space and view are great. Neighbors walking past were always friendly, and the drum circle on Sunday was a fun extra. As stated in the description, it is a drive to get supplies, so stock up on coffee, toiletries and toilet paper. We had a little problem with water pressure while there, but Dawna and Andy responded and it was fixed as soon as we reported. The frogs croaking was a nice evening soundscape and we loved the geckos. We were lucky to witness Pele's power as she erupted, as it was an easy drive to Volcanoes National Park. We explored all around Pa' Hoa one day and found off the beaten path beaches and scenic drives up the coast with lava flows, state parks and the small city of Hilo with all its pocket beach parks. It was a nice base for eastern Hawaii wanderings.

We had a great stay at Fawni’s house. The location is spectacular - right by the water in the lava flows, offering a completely unique Hawaii experience. The house was the perfect base for exploring the Big Island, with a full kitchen, laundry, and screened-in porch that made us feel right at home. What made it truly special was walking to the water for sunrise and sunset - unforgettable moments we'll treasure forever. Despite no AC, fans and nighttime breezes kept us comfortable. Highly recommend for travelers seeking authentic Big Island beauty and a peaceful oceanside escape!

The most incredible AirBnB stay we have ever had. T was very communicative and helpful throughout our entire stay. We have never felt such peace and security. Beautiful home with the friendliest cats, Franny and Smoothie! T designed and built additional parts of the home and we can see the love put into it. We enjoyed the croaking of the frogs at night, the cuddles from the kitties, the spaciousness of the house, and the convenience of the washer, dryer, and kitchen. We are definitely inspired to live more sustainably and had a great time checking out T's recommendations for us. Looking forward to another stay in the future.
