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.

Comfortable house, comfortable beds. Communication was amazing. Only issue we had at first was getting the door open due to the long code; other than that great place to stay!!

Entry to the property is bizarre at best. Arrived at night and missed the driveway twice. See Google Earth for details.
Difficulty with initial entry. Had to make at least four attempts before the lock worked.
Was immediately hit with a heavy musty odor. The house could benefit from a couple more dehumidifiers.
Two irons, no ironing board
The stove stopped functioning.
While using the griddle, blew a breaker. The entire kitchen is daisychained so everything in the kitchen went out. No access to the breaker box. Luckily, Vacasa earlier in the day supplied as with a 50 foot extension cord. Otherwise, the food in the refrigerator Would have spoiled.
Was told that the issue with the stove is ongoing with the owner refusing to replace it.
The house is charming enough, and had we not had the problems that we did, we would have given this a much better review.

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.

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.

I was worried there may not be enough room for all of us. This was the last rental available in the area we needed for a very busy weekend. Upon arrival we were absolutely delighted!! Super private home, lots of yard/garage space. Living room was a great size with nice large windows for natural light. The bedrooms were big and each had awesome big closets and built in dresser/vanitys. Bathroom was also big, shower and a separate bath, another built in vanity area. FULL kitchen, dining table to eat at and open laundry room with a back door to the garage. We love a big vintage home! They also had a coffee maker, toaster, waffle maker, all the hardware for cooking and baking. Perfect home away from home. The stream or river next door was also just SERENE. We loved having the windows open to let air & nature feels run through out. Fans/ac units were available but we didn't need to use them at all. We love Hilo & we loved this home. There was 5 of us but you can definitely have at least 3 couples + folks/kids staying in the living room. The living room sofa bed needs a new mattress/spring but I slept on it anyway okay. Aside from that SO AWESOME. Thank you!! This was definitely one of the highlights of our stay.
