Hawaiian Life Property Managers were great to work with and very responsive. The house is lovely! It was very clean and in a nice neighborhood. The kitchen had everything needed to cook holiday meals. We had a wonderful time.

The home was generously decorated with Hawaiian inspired art and crafts. The French doors bring in the tropical breezes.

We absolutely loved our stay. The accomodation was the most well equipped rental we have stayed in having everything we could possibly need. The beds were incredibly comfortable as was the sofa and arm chairs. The rental agency were fantastic and easy to contact when we couldnt figure out how to turn the showers on (pull the tap down) and came and provided us with emergy water and torches and checked on us before the storm to make sure we had everythinv we need. 5** from us. Thanks

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a very nice stay at Hale O Makani. Walking in the door it was immediately clear that the home is well taken care of and very clean. The kitchen was well equipped. The only drawback is that there is no dishwasher, which we did know ahead of time. There was no need for us to buy water, as the water from the tap tasted good. The home felt very spacious. The primary bedroom was huge. I have to say that the bed was very comfortable. Normally, I find that beds in rental homes are very hard. This bed was just right. My daughter, who stayed in one of the other bedrooms, agrees. The breezes cooled the house nicely. After being away during the day, the house was warm from being closed up, but in a matter of minutes, it cooled down because of the cross-breezes. The lack of air conditioning was not an issue. The property was beautiful. It’s on a low traffic street, which was nice. I would definitely stay there again when visiting the Hilo area. Mahalo to the property managers, who were responsive to our questions.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at this house!! We went down for a funeral and had to book something last minute and quick. This house had everything we needed and felt very homey.Me and my family stayed from 4/5-4/12/22. After I booked the house I had not read about all the cameras that were installed until scrolling through the description and comments but was to late. Im the type of person that likes my privacy but understand that the owner of the house is just being safe. If I knew about the cameras before, I would not haved booked at all to be honest. But If you dont mind cameras watching you then I recommend this place.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Please do not rent this property due to the owner watching you from the security camera all the time.

The home was very nice and comfortable. The kitchen has everything needed to make family meals. Plenty of towels, etc. However, there are several outdoor security cameras that were not disclosed ahead of time. One of which was pointed directly at the back (otherwise private) patio. For those who value their privacy, Beware!
