My family and I really enjoyed this property! The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of fans for added comfort. Richard was a excellent and receptive host. Our favorite things about this house is of course the location! We swam and snorkeled and got to see plenty of wildlife including sea turtles! I would happily stay here again!

Great position, accommmodated 9 of us ranging from 3 to 72 yrs really well. House is a little rumpty but we loved finishing our active days with pre dinner drinks at the pools over the road and cooling off with an easy dip in one of the many pools. Richard was a really helpful and easy to contact host. Well equiped kitchen.

Great friends & family place!

11 people from 5 different households stayed in this house - everyone had a room, except my son slept on the convertible couch, and we had good space for visiting in the mornings and evenings. The house had plenty of towels including beach towels and all teh necessities that we needed to enjoy the beach and other places that we explored. The host sent great materials ahead of time and communicated quickly during our stay.

Hilo Rental

If you are looking for super fancy, this might not be what you want. For my family, however it was perfect. Plenty of room, the things we needed in the kitchen and with kids we were so glad for washer and dryer. Exactly what you would expect from a beach house. Best things...the view and the location. Would book again.

Great location to lots of beaches

We had a family stay at the home with one infant. The house was in a great location to the beaches and we could enjoy the yard out front or cross the road and hang in the water. The house is older, so very warm and was hard to keep cool with the fans with so much sunlight. But was beautiful. Lots of bugs outside, so wear bug spray!

We loved Hilo

Really enjoyed our stay in the house. Especially great location for early morning and late walks near the water. We made good use of the kayaks and appreciated the life jackets and water shoes. Noticed a few previous reviews made comments about tropical bugs, but we didn’t see anything like that! We stayed cool in the house in late July. Hope to be back.

Celebration of Life for my Dad Nelson

We decided to rent a beach house to house a few family members who flew over from Catalina Island to come to my Dad's Celebration of Life! Both my Aunt and Uncle from Catalina Island are 87 and 90 Years old. The house was very comfortable and easily accessible with a cane. Although we did experience some rainfall having the rocks embedded in the entrance floor and stairs made it easy for them to go up and down the stairs. My mother and I took advantage of the Kayaks and stand up paddle board one afternoon and it was so nice to be right there across from the beach! Mahalo and will recommend to others.

Richardson’s Beach house

Wonderful location! Across the street from a great snorkel beach and beautiful lagoons, close to Hilo.House is old which we liked, BUT is in extreme need of maintenance, fresh paint and deep cleaning.House has NO A/C!!! This would not have been a problem, but the screens were broken, filthy, torn and hanging loose. Many of the shades were broken or completely missing, especially on the hot west side. The fans were inadequate. Two windows would not slide.The house’s VRBO posting description should clearly state that there is NO A/C.We were a family of 8 in a house that sleeps 12. We were charged 500 extra and told this occurs when more than 4 people stay. This policy should be clearly stated in the VRBO posting.We were comfortable and had fun, and appreciate being given an early check in.

The condition of the house

The house is not secure due to screens, windows, kitchen door slats, and main door not being securely tight, sealed or in lockable condition in some cases. We had to catch lizards and take them outside. The light fixtures, furniture and windows were dirty. Our bedroom screen was held by duct tape. The kitchen was stocked nicely, bathrooms were good, beds were comfy and the location was great. The washer was so loud we had put in laundry then go. For the amount of money charged to us we feel there should be updates. We also did not know the lower level of the house had a separate entry. I do have pictures of you are interested. Also, the bikes had flat tires with unusable air pumps.

Nice, but not what expected

My filters had for an air-conditioned home. This house has no air-conditioning. If you are hot natured, you will not be happy here except a few nights . Even with fans, the house was very warm and extremely damp the entire time. The dryer did not work.. It is an older home, so it does show a little bit of wear, but a beautiful location, beds were comfortable, sofas sink badly when sitting. could use a board under the cushions. Would be great for a large family, but again, very hot and humid. Could not use the kayak as it was full of water, nor the bikes, as there was no way to pump up the tires.

Best location in Hilo!

This place was perfect for our family. The host was very easy to get a hold of and the house had everything we needed. We only had to walk across the street to see sea turtles! Its a great spot just slightly out of the busy area of town. I would highly recommend staying more then a day in Hilo. You can find so many places to get away from crowds.
