Loved our stay at this property! Perfectly located in a quiet neighborhood, 20 minutes from downtown Hilo & one block from the breathtaking ocean front! The property was super spacious & comfortable, allowing a lot of privacy for each room, while still feeling cozy! We adored the outside lava rock shower! I would plan stay again & highly recommend the property!
Stopped here to hit Volcano National Park, which is 30 minutes away. We were a short walk to the cliffs where you cannot swim but are amazed by the power of the ocean and the natural beauty of the island. I have been to Hilo before but never appreciated this aspect. The cliffs are dangerous with young kids so keep your eye out for crashing waves. The home was a perfect place for us to take some quite time after being in hotels and play card games and cool off in the pool . Beds were very comfortable. If you are an AC person or not comfortable with mother nature coming into your living quarters this is not the location for you. We loved it and appreciated the attention to detail that the owners put into the home.
5 stars for Beautiful. No stars for amenities unless you consider 4 adult rain coats amenities. The beds in 3 of the rooms are great, not so in the laundry room. Property manager is stingy with paper products and trash bags, but they are quick to respond to fix what should have been working when you arrived. Luckily Walmart is a half hour away. The kids loved the 4 ft deep pool and that is mainly why we rented it. Door lockbox is difficult to open.
We love this house! We stayed here 13 years ago and found it to be almost exactly the same!
Clean, well stocked with beach towels and cooking utensils. The pool is a blast and the layout of the home is perfect for a family with school age or older kids. The host was great and responded promptly when we had a question. Would stay here again!
Absolutely beauitful property would thoroughly recommend this venue. House spotlessly clean on arrival a pleasure to stay there. All that stayed loved the facilities the ambience beauitful setting Kekelea a pleasure to deal with any issues dealt with promptly. Thank you House of Paafled
Beautiful, landscaped property with 2 master suites and a pool kept two families feeling relaxed and at home. Located in the tropical Puna section of the Hawaii, it was a nice place to retire each night when we finished a days exploration of the island. We will definitely be back to this enchanting island and will stay in this beautiful hale when we return.
We visited House of Paddles with a group of friends and kids. The house and space was beautiful. Plenty of room for everyone. Property was as listed. The only downside we experienced was just with the cleanliness of the pool. I think it would help to have the pump running for more than four hours a day, especially with a group of people using the pool and all the plant matter around. The lack of AC wasnât an issue for us, but if youâre sensitive to heat know that this place is warm! You can get a nice breeze though at night, but we were blessed with calm warm days. And if you get warm, just take a dip in the pool. Thank you for a beautiful vacation. Will definitely return!
The house is beautiful but not dusted very well. The dish washer leaked all over the kitchen. The smoke detectors werenât in the living room or off-suite. The pool was awesome for the grandkids to use everyday.the permits on the door for renting are expired. The headboard in the first bedroom has the metal coming off and is very sharp (someone tried taping it but it is not a great fix). Location is great and would use the house again!
Very beautiful wood used through the home. The pool was wonderful to cool off in after a day exploring the Hilo side of the island. Loved the ohana bedroom!
We only spent 3 nights here, but it was fabulous! The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We loved having a private pool and opening up the doors and windows to enjoy the breeze and all of the sounds at night! Thank you again!
We visited the Big Island for our sonâs Senior graduation trip! This house was perfect for our family! The pool was a nice addition, especially on the days we wanted to just relax! My husband and I stayed in the separate suite with the lava shower and it was perfect! I would highly recommend this property!
Great place for a family to stay. This is in a quite neighborhood, peaceful. House is as advertised. There is a house next door, quite close, but there was no noise or issue for us with that. Not an issue. Really enjoyed sitting by the pool enjoying the weather.
Beautiful home and pool with an easy walk to the cliffs. However, the recently build property next door looms directly over the pool area, and the living room if the doors are open. The neighbors tend to spend a lot of time on their lanai smoking cigarettes. All the plants and trees on their property had been clear cut and not yet replanted. Itâs an unsightly mess, and not private. It might be a great place to return to in 5 or 10 years when foliage has returned and a sense of privacy is restored. Until then, look someplace else.
House of paddles was designed to provide our family with fun, enjoyment, and an opportunity to chill. Our four year old granddaughter loved the pool. I loved the lanai overlooking both pool and open living area.
Great Beautiful, peaceful location. True Hawaiian experience
The property in beautifully decorated and the pool is refreshing after a day of touring the island. My family was happy spending the day out and about or staying in and just relaxing.
This is a lovely property about a 30 minute drive from Hilo. The two main bedrooms and great room open onto the lanai and pool. The pool is a big plus. The house was spotless and equipped with everything you need. As noted in earlier reviews, there is a new house being built next door which overlooks the pool area, and the owners are working on additional privacy.
Weâve stayed here twice and each time found many things needing repair and/or general maintenance. Our last trip resulted in injuries due to the large amount of slippery mold/mildew on tiles around pool. As much as we like this property and its location weâll be looking for a safer place to stay.
We had An amazing stay! Love the home and the checkout list was really short!
Iâd stay again hands down, and recommend to anyone! The home is a bit out of the way, itâs at least 30 minutes to hilo, and our teens were bummed they couldnât just go into town and hangout without us. The home is perfect for lounging and eating in and enjoying the pool! The cliff is only about 5 minute walk, no beach swimming but an incredible view, truly magnificent! Grateful for the pool, Hawaii afternoons get a bit warm and humid, and many homes have no AC.
We spent a lot of time with hilo ocean adventures, and Carlsmith beach is perfect for smirking! Whether you have your own gear or there is a good stash at the house! We really loved hilo overall!
