Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Hilo

Beautiful home. Liza was very nice to work with. I would definitely stay here again if the need arises.

John was a great host! He was super nice and welcoming. The place was clean and nice and spacious. He left us bottled water and made sure we settled in.

Love the location to go be down by the water all day. Really relaxing jungle treehouse.

This was our second time to the island but first time with 2 toddlers. We wanted something more peaceful on the more rural side. This home did not disappoint! The directions were really easy to follow to get there and unlocking the place. This was a perfect size for our family. We were so happy to see a screened in Lanai that was attached to the living room so it opened up into one long room. Kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. Its very close to Volcanos National Park (we got to see it erupting on the 24th). 30-ish minutes from Hilo If you are looking for island time (slow paced, family, go with the flow) kind of stay book this place! .

We had an incredible month-long stay at Tamara’s place in Pahoa! Her home was spotless, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Tamara was an excellent host, always quick to respond and resolve any requests. The location is truly magical—nestled in the heart of a lush rainforest with friendly neighbors, it’s a peaceful and unique setting. The proximity to Hilo and the Kalapana area was fantastic. We loved visiting the vibrant Uncle Awa’s night market on Wednesday evenings and the lively Sunday drum circle in Seaview Estates which is just a 15-minute drive away. Pahoa itself is a charming town with welcoming and helpful locals. It’s also a great base for exploring the island: Volcanoes National Park is only 40 minutes away, Mauna Kea about 45 minutes, and even Kona is in drivable distance. A delightful surprise was the two adorable stray cats that often visited—they added so much charm to our stay. Thanks Tamara for making our stay so memorable!

Our stay was literally magical! From the jungle sounds all day and night to the beautiful surroundings to the fresh fruit basket. The weather was perfect. The place was so spacious! Janelle was always responsive and made us feel right at home. We're hoping to come back with the whole family next time!

Lucky to grab this location for a few days. Accommodations were great for three parties of folks. Especially great one couple could bring their dog. Unfortunately, we missed the volcano eruptions, which started the day we checked out for home. They seemed to have everything you might need and super cozy, including the reclining couch sections were comfortable enough to sleep in!!

One of my favorite AirBnB stays ever! It was a magical place, designed so thoughtfully. I felt deeply connected to the beautiful tropical farm and natural garden surroundings, yet had all of the conveniences to be totally comfortable. It was such a pleasure to wake up to a chorus of birdsongs and gentle warm breeze blowing through the loft windows. The garden shower was also amazing. Melissa and Jeff were so friendly, and I felt at home instantly. I cannot recommend this place more for a retreat in nature!

We absolutely loved this house for our week long stay in the Hilo area. The house had everything we needed and then some. The cliff and ocean are literally right there, you can hear the waves crashing against the rocks 24/7. We used the wonderful hot tub after our long hikes. We really appreciated that beach towels and coolers were available for our use. It is about a 25 minute drive to Hilo and 25-30 minutes to Volcano National Park, it was so worth it to us because of the privacy and beauty!! Make sure you take the recommended hike to Shipmans Beach. The trail head is 4 miles from the house, the hike is 2 1/2 miles each way but so worth it. It’s a sandy beach and there were several sea turtles swimming all around us. Kendi was great, she checked in to see how we were doing and was available for any needs we may have had. I would book this again if we ever return.

This house is just as tranquil and majestic as it looks in the photos. We loved falling asleep to the sounds of frogs and birds, drinking our coffee outside in the morning in a jungle oasis, and dipping in the hot tub in the afternoon. It’s a short drive to Volcano National Park and was the perfect home base while we were explored the area. We will definitely come back and would recommend to all!

The only thing that made me uncomfortable was the shower drain button. Water kept accumulating, and I had to keep pressing the button constantly to let it drain. But that’s an easy fix. Everything else was absolutely 5 stars—thank you so much for hosting!

It's a very nice place and if you're looking for adventure you'll love it. In our case, we were looking to rest, but due to the noises in the environment we couldn't. Access to the cabins was also a little complicated because there is no light at night. But overall it's very nice.

Off the beaten path kind of location. Not in a commercial area, so very quiet location. Beautiful views all day! Place has been well kept. Slept to the sounds of waves every night and woke up to sunrises. Janice strives to make you feel right at home. place had games, beach stuff (boogie board, chairs, mats, beach games, cooler). These are the tropics so expect some bugs; no escaping that. Host is very responsive and takes care of anything that may happen.

Great location and available amenities for our party of 6. We would definitely stay at Julie’s place again whenever we are near Hilo.

We loved our stay! It was very private and quiet, we felt right at home the moment we checked in. Jonas was very helpful and gave us great suggestions, always checked in with us to make sure everything was okay. Timber was also very sweet and super cute, We’ll definitely be rebooking next time we’re in town! Mahalo Jonas for your hospitality.

Beautiful spot in the jungle near the volcano. Super private, jungle hottub was definitely the star of the stay. Communication was great.

just as described. located next to the secret hot springs and the nude beach! a quiet peaceful neighborhood with so much Beauty. A very responsive host and wonderful attitude! and don't forget the stars at night, amazing!

The house was amazing. The amenities were an extra plus. Everything you needed and more. Everything was fabulous and we look forward toto staying there again.

Overall, the host is extraordinary receptive and reactive of a host - what you'd like for in an Airbnb host, especially with all the selection there. Location is can't beat, and the ease of everything also stood out. I didn't like the outdoor screen on the porch (it was molded and badly broken, surprising considering it wasn't caught previously). The host had it fixed brand new within 24H. I would say the unit is smaller that photographed (I was surprised, but it was comfortable for one person). Would be tight with two. You should also know it appears to be an addition onto the back of the garage (although the finishings are top notch). That just means there are two other units that you'll need to be aware of from a noise perspective. Private ish yard area by a quaint outdoor porch. Really appreciated the touch and proactive nature of the host. Made the 3-week stay in the end a 5-star stay despite early challenges. Well done.

Very quick to respond. Very nice place. Will definitely stay in the future.

Kelly was AMAZING! What a beautiful place. It was quiet and peaceful. The horses were so sweet. We loved hearing all the birds chirping in the morning. I would absolutely recommend this home to anyone. Thank you Kelly for sharing your home with us. We will be back.

Great experience staying here, felt like on Bali a bit considering the semi-open house architecture and a garden full of fruit trees. The house is large, spacious and we loved especially the outside part where we spent most of the time exercising in the morning, having meals, reading, taking photos of colourful birds passing by and in the night stargazing accompanied by a symphony of forest noises! Absolutely wonderful. We met also the owners and had a nice chat, learning about the best spots to visit in the area. last the local guide book we found on the table was extremely useful!!! All-in-all we had a great time here! Fully recommended!

Larry was incredibly responsive and kind! The house is tucked away from central kea'au and hilo, the neighborhood is very quiet. Parking is available. There are many roaming chickens around the property but that is just Hawai'i in general. The stay was very enjoyable :) the place is definitely cabin vibes but it was nice to retreat after the busy festival weekend.

We really enjoyed our stay at this house in Hilo. It’s a very nice home, classic Hilo style, and was extremely well appointed and stocked with everything we needed: soap, coffee, paper products, beach towels, and more. The host was exceptionally friendly and helpful. He really went above and beyond. We had a great time and would happily stay here again.
