Looks a lot fancier than it is.

My wife and I spent our honeymoon on Hawai'i, and this was our third stop. The place is located on a cliff with nice views of the ocean. Overall the estate must have been very luxurious at some point of time, but it appears like it hasn't been very well maintained in the last few years. It is located some 20 minutes off Hilo, which is also the closest place to find a grocery store, restaurant or bar. We arrived in the afternoon around 4 PM and were welcomed by a full nude photo shoot in the garden. I am sure some people would pay extra for this (probably unintended) service. Overall the place is well equipped, has a large shared kitchen with anything one might need and each apartment has its own set of microwave, fridge and coffee maker. The apartment we stayed in was huge (two bedrooms, two bathrooms, two balconies) and could have comfortably fit two families. As an additional easter egg our last night was 'overbooked' and we had to move to another place in 'downtown' Hilo for the last night. But overall the property manager is a very nice chap.

Great Villa with great view

This property is amazing with great view, just as in picture. It is a shared villa so it feels clean enough and the bed is very comfortable but there are some touch that is missing for me to give 5 stars: 1) Carpet in the room smell a little due to humidity of Hilo, it would be much better to have fake wood floors or anything different than carpet 2) kitchen supplies are very ruined and dirty, it does not make you to want cook in there 3) Walls paint in the room is little off and there is some mold due to humidity. Overall we enjoyed our stay, especially for the price the Villa is fantastic!

Classic Hawaiian "Estate"

A beautiful and classic Hawaiian "Estate" and its grounds await you. Views of the ocean through palm tree silhouettes are unobstructed, meeting high expectations! Rooms are spacious and airy. Quirkiness of some facility details must be expected due to the age of the building.

The house is impressive but massively in disrepair, all the iron doors are rotting and falling apart. Bathrooms had other people’s shampoo bottles in the tub half used and just laying in the window. Shower curtain looks terribly dirty and needs replaced. Not one bathroom rug. Bathroom vanity has dirty cleaning rags left inside it. Rice cooker was dirty and still had water in it along with being scratch and missing Teflon. All the trim, baseboards, walls, light switches, windows and frames, bathtubs, toilets need cleaned they are unsanitary. White bedding has stains all over the sheets and bed protector. Carpets need replaced very stained and pattern worn. Wood floor is water damaged in several places and needs replaced. Entrance is dirty,both stair cases. No manager on duty. Kitchen had dirty silverware and plates. Had to wash everything to be able to make any attempt at food prep with only a electric skillet and no other pots, pans measuring cups or mixing bowls. No cutting board for kitchen fridge was dirty and frosted over. No extra bedding or pillows Walls need cleaned and painted Ac drips on to balcony tile making it very slick. Outdoor lights for balcony have water dripping from them on to balcony. Christmas tree still up in main entrance in March.

It was nice that we had the place to ourselves most of our time there and even when other guests showed up, we never really ever heard or saw them. The pillows were not the best but we just went to Walmart and bought a few that we left behind. Maybe the future addition of a pool would be nice since the property is away from a lot of things. Otber than that we really enjoyed our stay and the owner was very nice.

Gorgeous view from the lanai on second floor. It is private and quiet. Great for couples. Nice that it has air conditioning and a big comfy bed. But it only had two small pillows so we had to call for two more. We also had a little trouble finding the entrance after dark. There is a small sign on a rock wall about 14 miles west of Hilo on your right. Overall very very nice. Jade was very helpful.

Schöne villa mit ein paar zimmern (kein hotel)

Villa mit ein paar wenigen zimmern und einem wunderschönen garten. Eine Rezeption gibt es nicht. Wir haben am check-in tag per mail und sms einen code für die eingangstüre und das zimmer erhalten. Das hat tiptop funktioniert. Leider waren jedoch die tücher nicht sauber, teils nicht einmal trocken und in der dusche hatte es einige haare. Eine richtig gereinigte dusche würde anders aussehen. Wenn die villa die sauberkeit erhöht, könnten wir die unterkunft aufgrund des guten preises und der ruhigen lage mit gemütlichem und gut gepflegten garten für 1-2 nächte empfehlen. Für leute die kein gewöhnliches hotel suchen und einfach ein haus am meer geniessen wollen evtl. sogar länger. Bei unserem Aufenthalt war max. Ein anderes zimmer besetzt.

To put my comment into context, I am a solo traveller relying on public transport or taxis to get around whilst at a destination. Unfortunately, I didn’t realise at the time of booking how remote and isolated Oceanfront Vacation Rental is if you do not have your own car. I have communicated to the owners that the property is more suited to families or groups who have their own transportation. For me, the property was completely unsuitable and wish I knew this beforehand, so I’m writing this for future solo travellers. If you fall into that category, simply do not book! Stay in Hilo instead. There is nothing at the oceanfront vacation rental (no food, drinks (apart from chilled water from the fridge), restaurants, shops...nothing!) It was difficult to get a phone signal and Uber does not come out this far. Once there, you’re stuck there if you’re not willing to pay around $50 taxi to get back into Hilo. The rooms themselves are dated and worn. The seating is old, mouldy and ripped. The bed was comfortable enough but I don’t know why it was about 4ft high...don’t fall out! Dust on everything which suggests poor cleaning. There are fans but no air conditioning. The bathroom was fairly clean but out dated. I suffered about 15 insect bites in one night of sleeping there. The phone number to contact the management did not work. In the end, I had booked three nights but only stayed one. The management did not offer a refund.
