Rental Details

Property Overview

Enjoy this basic but remodeled sugarcane plantation-style home, 5 minutes from downtown Hilo. This is the perfect place to come with family and friends as there are 2 homes available on the property. The homes are just off the beaten path, away from tourist areas, in a local camp neighborhood. Wonderfully situated to explore downtown Hilo and the gorgeous Hamakua Coast. Please note that there are neighborhood animal (dogs and roosters) noises that we cannot control. Earplugs are provided for your comfort.

Gorgeously remodeled home! This home has two lovely bedrooms with one double bed and one queen size bed, a queen-sized sofa sleeper and one bathroom. This home is equipped with TV, wifi, and off-street parking. Other amenities include a BBQ to enjoy while relaxing after a long day of exploring the island. There is plenty of room outside to run and play. An assortment of recreation equipment (ex. soccer ball, volleyball & net, badminton, lawn games though exact equipment varies) are provided in case you need a break from sight-seeing and want to just have some fun around the house.

This place was perfect for us- we rented both cottages. They used to belong to our family and we were in town for a graduation luau, and the house next door was the central house. So we could walk right over! Houses are nice and comfortable - but they are vintage and in the local neighborhood- so if that’s your jam, this is a good value.

The home was older than the photos. I'm a person of color; wifi password was "whitemeat###". Will not go to this place again.

Comfortable house with good space for a family of 4. Location on the main road was noisy with lots of vehicle traffic.

Nice little house. Its very close to the Hinoli surfspot. You can hear the highway and airplanes, which is a little bit sad. Also it was not completely clean. Would go again.

The property was fine, basic. It met our needs as we were gone all day. I really appreciated that there was coffee available and some beer in the refrigerater thanks!

One of the blankets look like someone blew their nose on the under side of it, a yellow discharge, sent pic to manager. A rat in the attic particles falling through the attic entrance onto the bathroom floor, sent pic to manager. Sleeping can be a little difficult, Kochi frogs at night and roosters start crowing at 3:00 am till Evening So I said Welcome to the Rooster Inn.
