Holiday houses in Hilo

Joshua had thought of everything. The welcome gifts and fruit were a lovely touch. The flashlights and binoculars made our night walk to see the lava glow. Rain shower was a new experience. The extra food in the cupboard meant we didn't have to go back out for supplies when we forgot on the way in, thank you! Mosquito punks and bug spray...everything we needed was there. My wife was hopeful for a hair drier and maybe a camp toaster would be good for the gas stove--I only mention these because this host I bet is the kind who would want to continuously improve. It's a little out of the way but a great experience and much easier to get up to the park than from Hilo. Aloha from the Chapmans. What a brilliant, beautiful spot, you've obviously taken great care, and it shows. Ngā mihi. Ka pai!!

Suzy's home was perfect for our annual ohana girls' trip to Hawaii Island. We especially loved the spacious lanai from sipping coffee, listening to the birds in the morning to evening dinner made enchanting by the decorative lighting.

This is the place to stay if you want to feel more like a local and less like a tourist. Absolutely beautiful location, wonderful host and close to great restaurants in Pahoa. The property itself also had beautiful trails to walk with steam vents on site, truly a tropical paradise. Jacqueline was absolutely wonderful and her pup was great at public relations! Will definitely come back if we get a chance!

We had a great stay, nice home to come back to. Easy trip to Volcano National Park which we took advantage of several times!

Scott’s place is a peaceful retreat just steps from the beach, with stunning ocean views right from the balcony. The surrounding area is beautifully natural and serene—perfect for relaxing and unwinding. While it’s a bit removed from restaurants and services, having a rental car makes exploring the area easy and convenient. Inside, the apartment is exceptionally well organized—everything is thoughtfully arranged, easy to find, and feels welcoming. Overall, a wonderful place to stay. Highly recommended! – Terry

We loved our stay at this peaceful home in a tropical forest. It had everything you could need and was so comfortable. Peggy was great with communication and instructions and any questions that you may have. It was perfect being so close to Volcano National Park. We hope to stay here again in the future! Thank you for such a great experience.

We are so happy that we chose Volcano Hidden Cottage for our home while we explored Volcanoes National Park! The cottage is gorgeous, and the setting is idyllic- completely private and quiet. The only sounds we heard were from the wildlife, who lulled us to sleep each night. We enjoyed spending time out on the large deck, surrounded by lush greenery. The cottage is very comfortable, and we slept so well! We feel lucky to have been able to stay at such a wonderful place that is just minutes from the park entrance. Thank you, Brenda!

Mahalo for everything. I felt at home with Delia & Kim from the very beginning. Their loving nature and the effort they put into everything is extraordinary. I'll never forget the Big Island for several reasons, and staying with Delia and her family is definitely one of them. The location is worth its weight in gold for anyone seeking peace and quiet. Best, Rick

Peaceful neighborhood, everyone was nice and it was really close to the beach - exactly what we were looking for!
