This place is amazing. The moment we walked into the space we decided we would stay in for meals and enjoy the oasis. The pictures do not do it justice. It is so beautifully done. Manicured garden, awesome outdoor patio area. Fun outdoor shower and best of all is the private hot tub! It was perfect! Wish we had been able to stay longer!

We had a wonderful stay at Gregory and Dana’s Rivendell Oasis in Hilo! While touring the Island of Hawaii, we chose this property based on its fantastic location near key sites — and it completely exceeded our expectations.This was hands down the cleanest VRBO we’ve ever stayed at. Every detail was carefully thought out to maximize comfort and relaxation. After long days exploring and visiting the Hilo Farmers Market, the hot tub was the perfect place to unwind. The koi pond and beautifully designed backyard landscaping created such a peaceful atmosphere — we found new details to admire each day.The home strikes a perfect balance between classic Hawaiian cottage charm and modern luxury. From the soft-close microwave to the high-end fixtures, everything felt brand new and thoughtfully curated. The outdoor kitchen and gorgeous lighting made evenings extra fun, and the outdoor shower was one of the nicest we've ever used — better than many indoor showers!Thank you, Dana and Gregory, for a short but truly lovely stay. We hope to return again!

We have done many VRBO's & Air B&B's and this was by far the best place we have stayed. Absolutely immaculate & comfortable with no amenities missing. You have a gorgeous backyard with a stream fed goldfish pond, seating area, jacuzzi, bbq, and snorkeling equipment. Great location, five minutes to Hilo and central to all the exploring you want to do. Far better than the pictures can convey. If we ever go back to Hilo, this is where we will stay!

The neighborhood was quiet, and the home was lovely and private. The backyard was also fantastic to sit outside. The bed was extremely comfortable which was perfect after being out all day and wanting a good nights sleep for the day ahead! Fantastic hosts as well. They were quick to respond if anything is needed. The location was also perfect to get to several different areas easily!

My wife and I enjoyed every minute here and would come back again. You have everything you need including a private hot tub and patio. It is convenient to Hilo and was in a very nice neighborhood that was quiet at night. Mahalo!

We liked the stay so much last time (21') that we hunted down the property for our visit this year. The layout is really nice for two and has everything you'll need. Hosts are great as well, very friendly / approachable. Final notes: LOVE the outdoor stove for cooking and the hot tub is a treat after a long day of exploring the island.

This is our second time staying at this lovely property. We came over from Kona side for World Sprints time trials for outrigger canoe and it’s the perfect spot for resting and relaxing after a long day of paddling. So cozy and peaceful. The hosts are so gracious, the accommodations well thought out and the hot tub is the icing on the cake. This is now our go-to spot when staying over this side. Looking forward to our next visit. Mahalo!

Gregory & Dana have created such a unique and beautiful space. We were able to disconnect during our stay just as we wanted.
Everything was working as described. The indoor and outdoor kitchen were completely equipped and when we couldn't find something they got back to us very quickly.
Thanks Gregory & Dana!

This is a thoughtfully and tastefully designed private apartment situated in one of Hilo's most beautiful and exclusive areas. The Kaumana forest is about 15 easy minutes from downtown Hilo and offers a cool and relaxed setting. The amenities are excellent, featuring a professional quality grill, first class Jacuzzi tub and two well-equipped kitchen areas, indoors and out. The waterfall provides a calming backdrop to a Zen-like retreat, and the outdoor shower is an added delight. Access to the Saddle Road is easy if you want to see the mountains or drive to Kona for the beaches. The hosts are very gracious and available for any questions. This "ohana" style guest house is highly recommended!
