This property was great for our stay on the Hilo side of the island. It was clean and well stocked. The host was great and responded to any question we had, before or after arrival. With 2 teenage girls on the trip, it was nice to have 3 bedrooms. We will definitely consider staying again if/when we get to come back.
Ideal place if you appreciate quiet and the ambiance of a local neighborhood. Kitchen is well-supplied. Bathrooms & showers are roomy. Very clean
We loved this house! Two sisters and their husband’s stayed here, ages 67-74. The house was comfortable, spotless, well equipped and our check in instructions and info about the house were impeccable. We enjoyed the back patio area for morning coffee and enjoying the sun. The heavy duty blender helped create some delicious daiquiris! The beds were very comfortable and we all slept well.The landscaping was primitive but the gardener in me delighted in the treasures we found- pineapple, blooming anthurium and several trees and bushes, including a very tall cactus at the driveway edge. We would definitely choose this place for another trip to Paradise!
The 3 bedroom rental was perfect for us three ladies and the distance from the airport to the host rental is similar to my home island of Kauai, from my house to the main town of Lihue.I would recommend my friends if they are looking for a place during the week of the Merrie Monarch festivities, they should look into this rental property listed on VRBO.

Clean property,well maintained. A/C was a big plus.
Central location for trips to Volcano National Park, black and green sand beaches, waterfalls, Hilo restaurants. Clean, comfortable stay!
Great vacation! We weren’t at the house much because we were always exploring, but good location and place to sleep and shower!
Sweet little house, my family really enjoyed it!
Comfortable beds, excellent batroom and kitchen facilities, centrally located for what we wanted to do. We would definitely stay here again!
Beautifully renovated house. Perfect for a family with its 3 bedrooms. However you must use your car for all your travels as Paradise parc 20 minutes from Hilo and there are few services nearby. Owner Derrick is easy to reach and his communications are clear and to the point.
This was our first trip to Hawaii so we had no idea about the area or what to expect about anything at all. We enjoyed every last moment, and this house was the perfect home base for us. We found the house just as described, very clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was peaceful and lovely. There was plenty of shopping and restaurants close to us, though we did make a few trips to the Kona side of the island for some activities, not that there wasn’t plenty to do on the Hilo side. That was a bit of a ride, but the island is so beautiful it’s really not a problem! I would definitely stay at this property again.
I rented this property for my daughter and her family would have a comfortable place to relax. My daughter stated that there was plenty of room for her family and everyone had space to relax in. Property was easy to find and was away from busy streets and yet still close to many places of interest and shopping. When my family comes in the future I will definitely rent this house again.
This house was perfect for us and friends to stay at while vacationing in Hawaii!! Great location and the house was perfect with updated appliances and bathrooms.
Home was in a good location in a quiet & beautiful neighborhood. The size of the house was perfect for our group of 7 people and very clean. I loved that they had extra items for their guests like flashlights, coolers, games, etc. We stayed in August and it got quite hot without AC. The host has fans in every room to help combat the heat which would probably help more in months outside of summer. Overall this is a great place to stay on the Hilo side.
The property is as described. It’s clean and fonctionnal. The beds and linens are brand new and comfortable. The absence of air conditionning was however an issue for us. It does become cool at night with the windows opened and the fans in fonction, but it was very hot during the day when we came back at the end of the afternoon to get ready for dinner. Also, take note that the washer and dryer are in perfect condition, but they are situed outside in the carpot which is less practical. Nice stay overall.
In a few words….our stay was not long enough. Great, clean, well equipped, quiet, comfortable home.
I just want to say thank you for the three days. If I had seen the listing I would’ve booked it for the two in a half weeks we were staying. This is a great place to stay with your family they provided everything which was great. The beds were comfy, the house is clean and great. Location was easy to find but we are from Hawaii so that could be why it was easy. 10/10 recommend.
We stayed for 4 nights on this side of the island to go to the national park and explore around Hilo. This house is very clean and in a nice quiet neighborhood. The fans cool it off in the night fairly quickly, but it can get pretty hot in the day without an AC. Great communication from the owner leading up to the trip.
We chose this property due to it's proximity to Volcanos NP. It was also a great "jumping off" point for lots of places on the island. Close to Hilo for restaurants and groceries. The property itself wad exactly as described. I was concerned that there would be no AC, but there are ceiling fans in every room and with the windows open, it was the perfect temp. Would definitely recommend.
Keaau is south of Hilo and very convenient to Volcano National Park. Home has lots of amenities to provide a comfortable stay. There is a large TV but operating instructions were very complex and we did not attempt to view. Overall I would recommend this rental.
Nice clean updated home near Keaau (Hawaiian Paradise Park). Quiet neighborhood.
Centrally located between Hilo and Volcano National Park made for a great place to explore the east side of the island. Hilo Farmers Market was worth checking out. Rainbow Falls was nearby as well.
Volcano National Park was an awesome experience.
Shopped at local grocery store and cooked on the grill on the back porch.
If you're planning a trip to this part of the Big Island, I can recommend this property.
Check out Wailuku Brew Works in Keaau for some excellent offerings.
Derek was a great host with great communication and a wonderful place to call “home” while visiting the big island. Everything was updated, clean and functional. We even enjoyed the supplied outdoor gas grill :) Great location to get to Hilo.
We absolutely loved our stay at Paradise. The house was very clean and very comfortable. The host had excellent communication and was helpful in locating the property and anything we needed to know about the house. We couldn’t recommend it more. It was the perfect spot for our family to enjoy and explore the tranquil side of the big island. We hope to come back again someday!
Great location! We used the house as home base to get out and see the island. We were back at the house in the evenings. The rooms were very comfortable. As with most places in HPP, there is no AC. The overhead fans in each room kept it very comfortable while sleeping. Communication was awesome!
This VRBO home has everything you need to stay in comfort. Kitchen cooking is complete and the beds are amazing comfortable. Owner Derrick has great communication and instructions for everything we needed to know.
Great property, Derrick answered all our questions quickly. Would have liked to have an ice maker in the refrigerator, maybe add that detail to the property listing so guests can plan accordingly.
Great location to allow us to get to Hilo or the volcano national park. Our family of five adults found everything to our liking and were sad to leave. One unexpected surprise; the people in the neighborhood were super friendly. You could feel the aloha spirit whether you were driving or walking.
Paradise Captured couldn't have a better name!! The house, location, and amenities were perfect!! This was my husband's first time to Hilo (Hawaii as well) and it was everything he wanted (relaxing, peaceful, and tranquil)!! We'd definitely stay here again and highly encourage others to stay here as well!!
