Hilo Paradise

Loved our stay at this property! Perfectly located in a quiet neighborhood, 20 minutes from downtown Hilo & one block from the breathtaking ocean front! The property was super spacious & comfortable, allowing a lot of privacy for each room, while still feeling cozy! We adored the outside lava rock shower! I would plan stay again & highly recommend the property!

We love this house! We stayed here 13 years ago and found it to be almost exactly the same!

Clean, well stocked with beach towels and cooking utensils. The pool is a blast and the layout of the home is perfect for a family with school age or older kids. The host was great and responded promptly when we had a question. Would stay here again!

Beautiful Hale! Everything you want or need!

Beautiful, landscaped property with 2 master suites and a pool kept two families feeling relaxed and at home. Located in the tropical Puna section of the Hawaii, it was a nice place to retire each night when we finished a days exploration of the island. We will definitely be back to this enchanting island and will stay in this beautiful hale when we return.

Great way to appreciate Hilo

Stopped here to hit Volcano National Park, which is 30 minutes away. We were a short walk to the cliffs where you cannot swim but are amazed by the power of the ocean and the natural beauty of the island. I have been to Hilo before but never appreciated this aspect. The cliffs are dangerous with young kids so keep your eye out for crashing waves. The home was a perfect place for us to take some quite time after being in hotels and play card games and cool off in the pool . Beds were very comfortable. If you are an AC person or not comfortable with mother nature coming into your living quarters this is not the location for you. We loved it and appreciated the attention to detail that the owners put into the home.

House of Paddles

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed here for three nights on a family vacation. The house was very clean and comfortable. I would say that it is a little “bare bones” when it comes to extra linens and cookware. When they say bring in everything you need to cook, they aren’t kidding. Some very basic things are missing from the kitchen (cooking sheets, salt) towels are limited to one set per guest. They were very helpful in bringing extra towels when called. The pool was very clean and my family enjoyed the back patio and pool area.
