Comfort of home
Keaau is south of Hilo and very convenient to Volcano National Park. Home has lots of amenities to provide a comfortable stay. There is a large TV but operating instructions were very complex and we did not attempt to view. Overall I would recommend this rental.

Inside was very clean. Kitchen was very modern. Outdoors the yard was unkempt and had tall weeds, surrounded by unmaintained bushes and trees. It was not a pleasing outdoor environment. Indoors was good and worth the price we paid. We would not sit outdoors given the condition of the yard.

Great East Side Stay on the Big Island
Nice clean updated home near Keaau (Hawaiian Paradise Park). Quiet neighborhood. Centrally located between Hilo and Volcano National Park made for a great place to explore the east side of the island. Hilo Farmers Market was worth checking out. Rainbow Falls was nearby as well. Volcano National Park was an awesome experience. Shopped at local grocery store and cooked on the grill on the back porch. If you're planning a trip to this part of the Big Island, I can recommend this property. Check out Wailuku Brew Works in Keaau for some excellent offerings.

Derek was a great host with great communication and a wonderful place to call “home” while visiting the big island. Everything was updated, clean and functional. We even enjoyed the supplied outdoor gas grill :) Great location to get to Hilo.

Truly paradise!
We absolutely loved our stay at Paradise. The house was very clean and very comfortable. The host had excellent communication and was helpful in locating the property and anything we needed to know about the house. We couldn’t recommend it more. It was the perfect spot for our family to enjoy and explore the tranquil side of the big island. We hope to come back again someday!

Easy access to Hilo and Pahoa
Great location! We used the house as home base to get out and see the island. We were back at the house in the evenings. The rooms were very comfortable. As with most places in HPP, there is no AC. The overhead fans in each room kept it very comfortable while sleeping. Communication was awesome!

Paradise Captured couldn't have a better name!! The house, location, and amenities were perfect!! This was my husband's first time to Hilo (Hawaii as well) and it was everything he wanted (relaxing, peaceful, and tranquil)!! We'd definitely stay here again and highly encourage others to stay here as well!!

Great property, Derrick answered all our questions quickly. Would have liked to have an ice maker in the refrigerator, maybe add that detail to the property listing so guests can plan accordingly.

Fabulous VRBO had everything we could ask for!
Great location to allow us to get to Hilo or the volcano national park. Our family of five adults found everything to our liking and were sad to leave. One unexpected surprise; the people in the neighborhood were super friendly. You could feel the aloha spirit whether you were driving or walking.
