Welcome to Hale Ohana home away from home! This charming and classic three-bedroom 50’s rural home is just outside Hilo (four miles to the edge of downtown), making it a reasonable accommodation for a family or group of friends. Conveniently located on the Hawaii Belt Road, this home is very close to the start of the four-mile scenic drive. The Hawai’ian Tropical Botanical Gardens and Onomea Bay are just over a mile away. It is ideally located for people visiting the Hamakua Coast (Akaka Falls, and even the Waipio Valley).
Back at home, guests have access to a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a washer/dryer, WiFi should you need to plug in, and Cable TV. The sound of the stream flowing below the hillside can be heard from two of the bedrooms while the neighbor’s goats and cows frolicking in their expansive yard to the south set the scene for the home's rural environment. And not to mention, the coqui frogs singing their symphony every evening. The cozy living room offers comfortable furnishings and is the perfect place to retreat after a day of adventure.

Summary: Great location, near Hilo, but doesn't get it's traffic. Property is dated (which isn't a bad thing), but clean. Huge space, room for my family to spread out which was great. The only reason for less than perfect score was all the mattresses were wrapped in plastic. Like a plastic case that was intentional, not like saran wrap that they forgot to take off. For a place that had no AC it made for some uncomfortable and sweaty nights.

Summary: Entry to the property is bizarre at best. Arrived at night and missed the driveway twice. See Google Earth for details. Difficulty with initial entry. Had to make at least four attempts before the lock worked. Was immediately hit with a heavy musty odor. The house could benefit from a couple more dehumidifiers. Two irons, no ironing board The stove stopped functioning. While using the griddle, blew a breaker. The entire kitchen is daisychained so everything in the kitchen went out. No access to the breaker box. Luckily, Vacasa earlier in the day supplied as with a 50 foot extension cord. Otherwise, the food in the refrigerator Would have spoiled. Was told that the issue with the stove is ongoing with the owner refusing to replace it. The house is charming enough, and had we not had the problems that we did, we would have given this a much better review.

Summary: I was pleasantly surprised with the spacious room in the house, especially dehumidifier in our bedroom (very nice accommodation to have) & beautiful artwork on the walls. Not to mention privacy, didn’t have to hear neighbors maybe just cars passing every now & then but otherwise it was totally fine. Was great to have that washer & dryer, boogie boards & umbrellas helped us a lot on outings!! The cookies was a nice touch, so thanks for that. Overall, I miss that place compared to the next place we had to move to, but will definitely remember it if coming again.
