About this property

Classic Country Home Near Hilo with Room to Roam

  • Summary:

    Classic country style home on Hawaii Belt Road near Hilo



    The Space:

    Welcome to Hale Ohana home away from home! This charming and classic three-bedroom 50’s rural home is just outside Hilo (four miles to the edge of downtown), making it a reasonable accommodation for a family or group of friends. Conveniently located on the Hawaii Belt Road, this home is very close to the start of the four-mile scenic drive. The Hawai’ian Tropical Botanical Gardens and Onomea Bay are just over a mile away. It is ideally located for people visiting the Hamakua Coast (Akaka Falls, and even the Waipio Valley).





    Back at home, guests have access to a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a washer/dryer, WiFi should you need to plug in, and Cable TV. The sound of the stream flowing below the hillside can be heard from two of the bedrooms while the neighbor’s goats and cows frolicking in their expansive yard to the south set the scene for the home's rural environment. And not to mention, the coqui frogs singing their symphony every evening. The cozy living room offers comfortable furnishings and is the perfect place to retreat after a day of adventure.

Big house, great location, but plastic covers on mattresses?

Great location, near Hilo, but doesn't get it's traffic. Property is dated (which isn't a bad thing), but clean. Huge space, room for my family to spread out which was great. The only reason for less than perfect score was all the mattresses were wrapped in plastic. Like a plastic case that was intentional, not like saran wrap that they forgot to take off. For a place that had no AC it made for some uncomfortable and sweaty nights.

The house was charming. The property was amazing. It has three nice bedrooms. We only use two, but there is only one bathroom that is a drawback, but we made it work between the four of us. Also, there are no USB or seaport plugs anywhere in the house so make sure and bring an adapter I didn’t get a chance to use the bathtub, but it was wonderful. The shower is a little bit small overall this property was a dream.

Great plantation home outside of Hilo

The home was very easy to find and just a short drive outside of Hilo town. Entry into the home was easy however the inability to unlock the front door did have me worried that I would end up locking myself out. The home itself is super cute and filled with just about every amenity you could think of. The only fault I found while at the home was that because I am a light sleeper, did walk up when vehicles drove by but would definitely stay here again.

Great place for the price!

Property was clean and accommodating. The kitchen was stocked with appliances and everything we needed. There were fans in every room. The only bathroom had a tub and a shower. The house was dated with a few cosmetic issues that could be repaired. Overall great place for the price!

Quality Time

We love the set up, the house accommodations make you feel that you are at home and the nights are relaxing listening the the nature and the rain make it better, we would love our time, Hilo down town is a Hawaii small town setting. also we found a lot of local people selling Coco's within 3 minutes from the house, and 10 minutes from the farmers market. this was a perfect vacation and relaxation,

A really good week

This home is older with some upgrades completed but it was roomy, great bedrooms, lots of common area for the 7 of us, and all that we needed for a great stay. When the stove needed an electrical fix, they were out the next day to solve it—a couple of other minor glitches were also fixed promptly. The Vacasa people couldn’t have been better to us!

nice clean basic home north of Hilo

We had short stay here. The house is spacious and was clean. Only one bathroom for 3 bedrooms, and there is no Lanai but there is green vegetation all around. it is located on a busy road so not as soothing but if you like to have an easy place to crash and like to be out and about as well, this house does make sense as a base to explore.

Loved it!!

I was pleasantly surprised with the spacious room in the house, especially dehumidifier in our bedroom (very nice accommodation to have) & beautiful artwork on the walls. Not to mention privacy, didn’t have to hear neighbors maybe just cars passing every now & then but otherwise it was totally fine. Was great to have that washer & dryer, boogie boards & umbrellas helped us a lot on outings!! The cookies was a nice touch, so thanks for that. Overall, I miss that place compared to the next place we had to move to, but will definitely remember it if coming again.

Spacious house, good location, but it is a jungle out there

The house was clean and spacious. It has a well-equipped kitchen and it is close to key attractions such as Akaka falls. In general, the house is well-maintained, although on window could not be fully closed. The managing company were very responsive. The house is adjacent to a Hawaii' belt road, so it can be somewhat noisy. Also, it is in a jungle area, so while very pretty, the night noises were extremely strong. If you're a light sleeper, do not come to this place. Otherwise, the place is great.

Just what we needed!

If your family is like ours, and you are used to the country, this is a wonderful place to stay! The bedrooms were large and the kitchen was well equipped for us to be able to cook a variety of meals with a full-size refrigerator, oven, and stove. The washing machine and dryer were also appreciated for our family and kept us from over-packing, so we were able to just do carry-on for our flight. While there is some road noise, it is easily drowned out by the river and frogs outside and a fan (as well as the rain!) each night. Very conveniently located just outside Hilo. Expect to make friends with the house geckos, relax, and enjoy! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

A old house

The location of the house is good and only 8 minutes to Hilo downtown. And it has a lot of space in the room. But the house is too old and smell bad. There is always big noise from outside for the bedroom where we slept. Only one day before we left, we found it is because one of the window behind the blinds cannot be closed and there is a note on the window that says the window is broken. Many other windows do not work. It is a very old house and need to be updated.
