Guesthouse vacation rentals in Hilo

Kerrine was an absolutely fantastic host! From the moment we arrived, she made sure everything was perfect. The space was spotless, cozy, and exactly as described. She was super responsive and gave us great local tips that made our trip even more special. You can tell she really cares about her guests having a great experience. I would 100% stay here again and highly recommend booking with her if you get the chance!

Everything was clean and organized in this place. Actually turned out to be more spacious that we thought. While the place is clean, people staying should expect to sweep once a day simply because of the location and if you like to have the windows open as we did. Again, not a complaint or reflection on the host, simply what is needed in the country area! Our stay was perfect. Oksana was always east to get ahold of and always accommodating. Kitchen was great, beds are nice and washer/dryer setup is quite new! We definitely recommend to anyone wanting to visit Hawaii, experience her beauty and enjoy sleeping quietly outside of "tourist" hustle and bustle. Lastly, the stars are absolutely stunning as well as the moon over the ocean!

This place is a gem when visiting Volcanoes national park. Totally quite at night and gorgouse by day. About 23 min to the park. Super cute and totally what we love about tiny houses in Hawaii.

Roby and his wife were wonderful, welcoming and friendly! Very lovely hosts. We loved their dog Ike as well. The place was cute, quiet, and clean, and the beds were incredibly comfortable! We also loved the natural “white noise” of frogs and birds.

Had a lovely stay at Mark and Sharon’s. Was there for a 12-day cleanse at nearby Angel Farms. It was quiet and comfortable. The only caution I would offer is that the internet connection is hit or miss. Which wasn’t a big deal for me. But if that is something that is critical for you, then maybe this isn’t the best spot. Otherwise, 5-Stars!

David and Kevin's guest house was amazing! Perfect size for 2 people to comfortably enjoy. Spending time on the lanai drinking a morning coffee or eating a meal while enjoying the landscape is something you don't want to miss. David and Kevin are awesome hosts, anything we needed was either in the guesthouse or they had it to share. Thank you David and Kevin for your hospitality!

I've stayed at Carol's place at least 5 times, and it never disappoints. If you're going to the Big Island, want to get away from the stale resort experience, and are looking for something unique, this is the place for you. Great price and great experience.

I would stay here every time I come to Big Island, was my fav place to stay at -close to everything, furnished well, private, and affordable

We had a wonderful time staying at Beverly’s guest house! Beverly and Gerry are great hosts. We loved visits from their friendly dogs, Zack and Tibbey, walking down to see the goats, chickens and cow and just exploring their 44 acres. The personal touches of fresh eggs, pancake fixings, snacks and chocolates were so thoughtful. Being able to pick lemons and oranges was also a plus! Surrounded by natural beauty of the property, views of the ocean and Mauna Kea made it truly feel like paradise!! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax. Thank you Beverly and Gerry for a marvelous week and can’t wait to come back for a longer stay!

We had everything we needed and were very comfortable at Syd’s place. We would recommend Syd’s place to anyone looking for a comfy studio with a full kitchen.

My stay was magical - exactly what I was looking for. Her place is simply an amazing location - a very undeveloped area in a rainforest right on the ocean. The sleeping accommodations were wonderful, and the kitchen had everything that I needed for my stay. I spent 11 memorable nights there. It was a definitely a "glamping" type experience - perfect if you are looking for a quiet, reflection-filled nature immersion experience or retreat.

Absolutely beautiful setting. Lush gardens, tropical plants, private, great lanai for morning coffee. It's a small one bedroom cottage with twin beds that was perfect for our stay. It was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. Keeping this one on our list for a future stay!

This place was AMAZING!!! The location was perfect, place was roomy, spotless, and so many details in the unit. Jordan was always available to communicate with and everything went super smoothly. Very happy I chose Jordan’s place over anything in town. Close enough to groceries, cafes, and Volcanoes National Park but so private and quiet. Having the trailhead to Shipman’s Beach just steps away was the icing on the cake. Definitely would stay here again and highly recommend booking it!!! Thank you Jordan and family and májalo

We had a wonderful time at Cynthia's place. The hostess was always very responsive. The pool was awesome. Everything was exactly as listed. We enjoyed having a full kitchen and laundry. Location wise the house is private and close to many great activities. Would highly recommend!

This place was spotless and had everything we needed for our stay. Easy access to Volcanoes National Park.

Stayed for a couple days to be close to the park and was totally worth it! Under 10 mins allowed us to come back for lunch and go back out to explore! We had three days full of rain but the overhead deck with fire place made it all cozy!

It is a compact unit with everything you need. The nearby coast is beautiful with some good exploration around.

Carolyn and Mike's Air BnB is absolutely stunning! I think it's even nicer than the photos. I loved opening the window by the bed at the end of the day to let the cool breeze in. The bed is so comfortable, the living area is lovely, and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The bathroom felt luxurious and the shower was wonderful. There's plenty of closet space too. Overall, it's very private and serene. There are so many decorative touches throughout the space that make it so charming and cozy. Carolyn and Mike were very friendly, generous, and kind, they felt like Ohana. The complimentary breakfast was lovely! She helped me pick out some of her beautiful handmade jewelry to bring home as gifts. They're very caring and responsive. The location of the rental is right near Volcano National Park and there are several really good restaurants nearby as well. The Farmers Market in the Village was a lot of fun to go to too! I would definitely stay at Carolyn's Air BnB again!

This was exactly what we were looking for -- a place that felt remote, but was still close to downtown Hilo, and a place with animals! It was such a perk to be able to interact with the cows, chickens, birds, and dogs. Gathering snacks from the fruit trees was also a bonus! The property is serene, and the house cozy but spacious. Lots of extras are provided, if needed, such as coolers and boogie boards. The beds were comfy and the showers were 10/10! Debbie is also super accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!

What a dream! This soulful studio cottage is a private jungle oasis—immersed in lush greenery and a symphony of birds. Some highlights include the kitchen’s luxurious hand-hewn wooden counter with copper sink, hot showers, a comfy bed, reliable Wi-Fi, a little cooler with ice packs, and much more. Sarah is a kind, responsive communicator and offered a delicious list of services that I didn’t have a chance to enjoy but hope to in the future. This stay is a safe and welcoming slice of paradise that I’m so grateful and heartened to know exists!

We had an amazing stay at Gigi’s cottage! It was the perfect home base for exploring the national park, and felt very private. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and we loved keeping the windows open and waking up to all of the rainforest sounds. Can’t wait to come back!

This is our 3rd time back to Charles's place and we are always so happy to get there. Everything is as promised and super clean. We really enjoy using the BBQ, the 2 lanais and there is lots of room for everything. Charles & Kathy are very welcoming & friendly hosts and we can't wait to come back again!! =)

Gorgeous view! Good space for my group. The pull out couches were great, amazing to wake up to the view and the sun rise.

We had a very good experience during our stay. Our hosts were welcoming and gave us lots of tips on what to do and were to go. Joe even came one night to gave us the full coconuts preparation experience. The place was very nice and the outside deck is definitely a highlight. We recommande the place. Simply be mindful that the free running roosters present in the neighbourhood will let you know the sun is up 😉 Merci Michelle and Joe !
