Hilltop Vacation Rental

Such a beautiful and spacious property Friendly staff and nothing was a problem We relaxed whilst either looking at Mauna Kea or Hilo and the ocean Very convenient to Hilo Ate at restaurant recommend. It was great

Easy in, easy out. Clean little place.

My second time there and won’t be my last.

Great views of the ocean and surrounding greenery. The property is well maintained and the communal area with pool table and games Is a great touch. Jade and the team went to every effort to make sure our stay was amazing. A 5 minute drive Into Hilo town but beware if you choose to walk it, the 20 minute walk back is all uphill.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The property was located close to the city of Hilo but high on a hilltop which made it feel secluded and private. The grounds were very nice and there were many places to sit outside and enjoy the weather and/or other's company if you choose. The only thing that I saw that needed attention was the koi pond, which I am sure did not have koi in it because the water was very murky. Parking was easy for us, but if the units were fully booked, I could see how it could become a problem due to a small parking area, and the area for overflow (down the hill next to the stone wall) was not adequate for mid-size to large vehicles. Would I stay here again: Yes Would I recommend this place: Yes

We had an amazing stay at the Hilltop rental! The host was amazing and all communications were timely and extremely clear. The unit was quiet, very clean, and well-equipped... and the host provided whatever else we needed. The view overlooking Hilo and Hilo Bay was breathtaking and it's just a short walk to town. We enjoyed the Hilo Farmer's Market which sells amazing local fruit, produce, and foods 7 days a week... and on Wednesdays & Saturdays is extended to include local artists and other vendors. I'm recommending the Hilltop Vacation Rental to all my relatives and friends... also to my friends in Hilo so they can recommend it to their visitors. Mahalo for a memorable and relaxing stay!

Amazing location with fantastic hosts, but not the most comfortable lodging. The hosts did a fantastic job of making us feel at home and were incredibly responsive at addressing an issue we had with the AC unit. We also the location: the view is fantastic and the house has a beautiful indoor/outdoor common area - complete with a few adorable and friendly outdoor cats. Unfortunately, my wife and I never really managed to get comfortable in the room because of the heat, humidity, noise of the AC unit, and awkward layout. The hosts replaced the AC unit partway through our stay, which helped a bit, but we still never got a full night of sleep. We enjoyed our time in Hilo and the friendless of the hosts (and their cats!), but we wish the room was a bit more comfortable.

This place has only one positive, the view sunrise over Hilo Bay. But it has several negatives for a tourist that are not disclosed while booking for obvious reasons. The parking situation is dangerous and requires you to reverse your car at side of cliff. They have some weird neighbors who don’t allow using driveway and have dogs barking in the night. You also have to haul your bags up large stairs. There were several insects and lizards in the room.

everything liked Thank you

It was a lovely location with a great view of Hilo Bay.
