Great Fun!

The great room was a great place to gather for meals, games, & laughs. We loved the gazebo, lanai, & sunroom for morning yoga. How fun-tastic to come back “home” after daily excursions to play in the pool! We look forward to a return visit. :)

Packed with enchanting details

This rental made such good use of the one-acre lot - we enjoyed the mirthful pool and garden area, the garden, ocean and starlight views from an assortment of decks, lanais and gazebos. We felt like we hardly had to leave the property. But just a few minutes up the road were rocky beaches for whale-viewing, bamboo forests with waterfalls, and a cascading stream with refreshing swimming holes. Cannot wait to return to Honomu House.

Quiet house with a fun backyard

We booked this place to stay closer to volcano national park. The place was a bit out of town in a nice quiet little hamlet with an amazing back yard pool. My friends and my kids had a great time in the pool and on the water slide.

Return guest!

We've stayed at this Big Island gem twice now & already dream of returning! The property itself is a paradise for families, with plenty of space to spread out and relax. While the pool (a major highlight!) could have been cleaner upon arrival, it didn't dampen our overall enjoyment. We hope to see continued improvement on this aspect for future stays.

Lovely vacation home

We had a great time in this lovely house. It is located in a little quiet village with easy access to the main highway to Hilo, and is pretty close to Akaka falls. The house has a nice yard with fruit trees and a large pool with a slide. Our children would have just stayed in the pool all day if they could!

Disneyland in Hawaii

Our two grandkids, ages 6 and 9 played in the pool and had a blast on the slide from sunup to sundown. The slide was better than the rides at Disneyland with no waiting! There was an abundance of everything we needed, towels, toys, kitchen items, etc. We had a fantastic time!

We had a very enjoyable family staycation. My teenagers lived in the pool our entire stay. They had a blast on the water slide. The kitchen and bedrooms were clean and spacious. We also loved Tiger the neighborhood cat who would come up to us on the patio for pets and treats. Anthony was a pleasure to work with, always so accommodating and easy to get in touch with.

Great family vacation house

10 people ranging in age from 4 to 78. We all had a wonderful time. Our only difficulty was that we were unaware that the host was out of town. His neighbour helped us but when we arrived he just initially introduced himself as Anthony's friend. Later in the conversation, we realized he was there to greet us and show us around. I did send Anthony a message during our stay and he got back to me right away.The house is lovely and spacious. The kitchen is very well equipped and easy to work in.The pool area is spectacular - we all really enjoyed the waterslide. The pool man came during our stay to maintain the pool.The grounds were very neat and tidy. There was some fallen fruit but that is to be expected as the trees were laden.I would certainly stay here again if travelling in a large group.

Hilo Parade

It was a resort experience without having to share any of the space with other guests. My children enjoyed the pool and slide to the fullest. If they had not visited anywhere else they would have been happy to stay in the pool all day every day. The home was clean beyond my expectations. There was plenty of towels and toilet paper. We did not have to worry about basic needs they were taken care of. What I thought was going to be a challenge was the disposal of trash but it turned out to be very simple and close to the property. I would recommend this home to any who want a resort experience without having to share the space.

Hilo playground

Our family enjoyed a long awaited Christmas reunion at this lovely home in Hilo. We were a group of 13, which included two infants, two three year olds, and two 5 year olds. The family hadn't been altogether for 4 years due to the pandemic, and part of the family lives in Australia, so the location of the gathering was an important choice. We chose the right one! The house is roomy and offers many areas for relaxing, playing games, conversation, and beautiful views. The kitchen is fully equipped to cook up meals for any large group. The kids enjoyed many hours in the pool. We had a photographer come to take our family photo in the beautiful yard. Anthony was a considerate host who immediately responded to any question.

Absolutely loved this house and grounds. Was met by Susan and she went over how to work the pool and other things. The main reason I rented this house was my 3 1/2 year old and 15 year old grand daughters picked out this house when I was looking to book and the pool was so worth it!! Tony even called to check on us the next morning. They really go beyond what most rentals do, bottle of wine waiting and the girls receive Hawaiian flower barrette. The only negative is it says the home has ac, it does not. Normally it would be a big issue with my health but the lower level with fan was ok. I would definitely book this house again. Thank you Tony and Susan!!

WiFi ok, Not available in all the rooms. Maintenance people showing up at all hours. One day three times in one day, morning, noon and nite. Odd pool hours 9am-5pm.Pool slide never just worked. Always an issue turning on or off.Hot tub never worked.Odd and uncomfortable pool house bedroom made of cinderblocks and one opening window, fold out couch, air mattress and super thin top bunk mattress with plastic all over it. Must remove all your trash before you leave. SummaryWould rent in this neighborhood again but not this property.
