Enter the home onto the grand lanai (porch) which is fully screened in and offers a view of the manicured acre with Hilo Bay views in the distance. Through the front doors you'll be greeted by our huge living room. The original hardwood floors and plantation era architectural details are unique to Hilo homes from the 1920s and 1930s. This huge living area has a game table with board games available, a large flat-screen TV and DVD player, high-speed WiFi internet and luxurious lounging area big enough for your whole family. NOTE: there are no TV channels so bring your streaming login info!

There are four bedrooms and two bathrooms in the home that are artfully decorated with historic representations of 'old Hawaii'. The kitchen at the back of the house is bright and full of windows to take in your Hawaiian landscape. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you may need to cook a big meal or heat up your restaurant leftovers. Seating for 6 at the kitchen table with additional seating on the lanai or at the living room game table.

My Hilo Home is planted with lots of tropical fruiting trees and plants. Enjoy juicy pineapples from our pineapple patch in summer months, tangy lychee from our ancient lychee tree in spring and citrus in the winter. There is also a breadfruit tree for those adventurous travelers who want to try a unique starch (please follow in-house instructions on preparing the difficult fruit!).

Four comfortable bedrooms line one side of the private home. Three of the bedrooms have queen size beds and the fourth has two twin beds (max occupancy is 8 guests). Each of the two bathrooms has a marble shower and one bathroom has a small bathtub. A pack-n-play is available for our guests with babies. The kitchen has an electric cook-top, electric oven, dishwasher, refrigerator and washer/dryer for laundry. All kitchen dishes and small appliances are available for your use. The house is immaculately cleaned between guests (at check-out) and mid-stay cleaning is an optional add-on.

This is a Hawaii County licensed short term rental.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife, two sons, & their wives spent a wonderful 8 nights over Thanksgiving at My Hilo Home. The property was better than described, within walking distance of downtown Hilo. The 1926-built home has a gigantic front lawn and a screened-in gigantic patio with a view of Hilo Bay. Kitchen has all the pots, pans, etc you will need for any meals you decide to cook while you are staying....also a gas grill in a covered gazebo just off of the kitchen. Property was clean, well-maintained, & a fun place to stay. Had a question on keys that was answered quickly by the owner. I highly recommend this place for anyone spending some time in Hilo. As far as dining....read and follow Yelp reviews.

My Hilo Home was everything and more than we expected.It truly was our home away from home.Minutes from downtown Hilo but seemed miles away -peaceful,quiet and the grounds are lovely.We picked oranges and passionfruit from the yard.Fabulous place!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I stayed here for 4 nights during September whilst visiting the East of the island including Hilo and The Volcanoes National Park along with my wife and son and we all loved the place. The house is full of history and interest with its large open and airy rooms, tall ceilings and huge veranda and we really enjoyed staying here. The kitchen is huge and well stocked (though it takes a while to work out where everything is with so many cupboards). The main living room is huge and wonderful to spend an evening in and the bedrooms are large and all the beds we used were really comfortable.There is no air con in this house and getting home each evening the place was warm but we found that by opening windows and doors and turning on the ceiling fans the place quickly cooled down and was a very pleasent place to be each evening.We loved the garden, the views from the property and watching all the local wildlife and whilst the frogs were pretty noisy each evening we quickly got used to it and we all slept well each night.It was a pleasure dealing with Saltwater who have made the whole process very easy so thank you for that.All in all it has been a great experience to spend a few days at this lovely property and my family and I would thoroughly recommend a stay here if ever you come to East Hawai’i.Thank you.

Our family enjoyed the comfort and spaciousness of the home, especially the screened in porch. We spent our time between the porch and the kitchen when we were home. The reservation staff is very attentive and promptly responded to me when I reached out. Thank you, Kekela!! Everyone, especially my granddaughters, loved Betty, the cat. She is the sweetest. Enjoyed the various fruits on the property and occasional romps of the wild boar family. very relaxing home after daily beach time and sight seeing.
