Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Hilo

This was a good stay. Everything was fine, but the place is a bit old. Carpets were dirty and old, and window blinds were outdated. Otherwise fine. I appreciate the snacks they gave us and coffee! It's a good deal for the price and location is about 30 mins from Volcano National park and Mouna Kea.

We had a wonderful stay at Dara’s place! The house was in excellent condition—clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed, including a washer, kitchen appliances, and toiletries, making our stay very comfortable. The surrounding environment was absolutely beautiful, with lush greenery and a peaceful natural setting that provided a relaxing atmosphere. It truly felt like a getaway in nature. The location was also great for exploring the Big Island, especially the eastern side. It was about 55 minutes to Volcano National Park and around 1 hour and 50 minutes to Mauna Kea, making it a good base for visiting these major attractions. Additionally, Hilo and many of the island’s eastern sights were within easy reach. Grocery stores and dining options were just a little over 20 minutes away, which made it convenient for getting supplies and meals.

This place is incredible for staying on the Island. Panoramic view of the ocean. Lots of space and furniture outside to enjoy the entire day on location. The grounds are amazing with something new to see or explore each day. From hammocks surrounding the deck to fire pit sitting area to relax in day and night. The host's manual has complete instructions to make the stay as comfortable as if you were living there. We went to 5 different locations as suggested in the book, so glad we did. There are plenty of bikes and outdoor gear available to use too. Private, but friendly neighborhood allows for walking, biking, and exploring at any time during the day. The stars are beautiful at night and wonderful sunrises in the morning.

Had an amazing stay at Moris's home! The place was exactly as described—spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and in a great location. Moris went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed and was super responsive and welcoming. Highly recommend this host for anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay!

Suzy is an awesome host! The home is in a lovely neighborhood. The home itself has everything you need and is in close proximity to Hilo, which is nice.

Absolutely outstanding experience in every way! The house is absolutely charming and the property stunningly beautiful! Tisiphonie is friendly and terrific! My only advice to new folks coming to this property: Don't trust your GPS when you turn onto the gravel road and look for Tisiphonie's driveway: GPS will likely bring you too far down the road to another person's private driveway. Follow Tisiphonie's instructions carefully so you turn down the correct driveway.

This location was perfect. Peaceful and beautiful. Hearing the birds in the forest was so calming. Everything was listed just the way it was advertised. Easy check in and checkout. Highly recommend for families lots of space to move around inside. The only thing that we encountered was in the master bathroom shower, wasn’t able to figure out how to turn on the shower there was no button or switch. Otherwise everything was perfect.

Loved this place so peaceful

exactly as shown in the picture, Gustavo and Chan were very nice and accomodating

We really enjoyed staying here. The place is very spacious and well appointed. It worked well as a jumping off point for Puna sight seeing as well as just chilling on the lanai. The beach across the street (one of the only swim friendly beaches in the area) was convenient and the breeze and views from the second floor unit lanai were great. Scott was friendly, provided good recommendations and responded to communication quickly. He’s also quite easygoing and nothing is complicated. The place was close (in between) to the 2018 lava flow sites. Having seen the volcano erupting a few days earlier, it was quite something to see up close the magnitude and power of Pele and how the landscape is actively changing due to volcanic activity. Recommend as a very comfortable and convenient place to stay.

Great place. Very quiet neighborhood. Sam is very kind and responsible. Will for sure to come back if visit again.

Fantastic stay — definitely a location we’d love to come back to. Tulpe was an excellent host in all facets.

Thank you, Kristin! We enjoyed our stay. We especially appreciated the bagels & yogurt for breakfast. I highly recommend this host, especially if you are looking for a reasonably priced, clean accommodation near Volcano NP.

This place is for those who have country in their soul. It is located on a 1 Acre lot in Keaau in what I can best describe as supersized suburbs. The AirBnB is essentially an ADU connected to the main house via a giant lanai. You are not wanting for privacy. You only share the laundry facilities, otherwise, the rental is totally self contained. The outside and inside details are fascinating with appointments from Joy and Mike's many sojourns overseas. We chose this place because of it's proximity to places the family prefers on the East side of the island. Hilo is close enough (20 min) to be convenient but far enough not to be annoying. The best aspect of this place are the hosts. They are the most respectful, helpful, sociable, and friendly folks we've met in our Airbnb'ing experience. Joy is a great cook, baker, gardener, and designer. In Mike I found a kindred spirit. A fellow vet, diy'er, I will forever remember the early morning chats we had, with our cups of coffee

Tony and his wife were wonderful, gracious hosts. The place was super cute, clean and quiet, with the exception of the coqui, which I didn't mind because they reminded me of spring. It was an easy walk to downtown which was convenient for dining and shopping. If you are staying in Hilo, I highly recommend this place.

everything was great. very friendly and helpful. having a washer and dryer right next to us was a plus. close to lots of food and beaches. anywhere from 15 min away to an hour away you choose!!

Great locations right next to the beach! The condo was as advertised and we had no issues during our stay. Condo was clean. Would definitely stay there again when in Hilo

Great place, literally paces from a BEAUTIFUL lagoon and beach filled with turtles and fish. Nice quiet road dotted with 4 or 5 beaches/parks, and about a 3 mile drive to the shops/grocery stores to keep the kitchen stocked. Also had a French press so we could enjoy our fresh Kona coffee every day.

I was there with my boyfriend for the week. The location was great! Within walking distance g distance to great restaurants and the best farmers market I’ve ever been to. The views are absolutely stunning. Watching the sunrise in the morning was so beautiful. We felt right at home. I would definitely stay there again! Thank you so much Carla and Joe! It was a little slice of heaven there.

Concierge service amidst a natural lagoon setting with all the amenities one can just enjoy a worthwhile experience from the two lanais!

Our guest apartment was beautifully furnished, clean and so comfortable! The view of Hilo Bay was spectacular. Carrie’s instructions, follow-up, and suggestions for activities and restaurants were right on. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! And thank you to Hugh for giving us a tour of your property/farm!

Loved the place especially the lanai and view.

Lovely and spacious for my 3 month stay for work. All the amenities that I needed for cooking and cleaning, communal laundry in bldg, good wifi coverage. Safe and walkable to downtown which I loved. Small amount of noise with neighbours and ants/insects which are expected to some degree being in an apt bldg, in the tropics. I would definitely stay there again:)

This place is so cute! So comfy and nice and the pool is great. A lot of amenities in the apartment and close/convenient to the airport and shops. And they’re so nice.
