Zero privacy

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: To get any airflow into this room you have to open the curtains and if you open the curtains, it’s look right on to the walkway, so zero privacy. Tv is tiny and they need to check remote operation. Otherwise it’s a nice location.

Perfect holiday retreat

Hale Kai is simple but has all the necessities for a comfortable stay. The views were beautiful from the lanai and the pool with ocean view was an added bonus. It is the perfect location to explore Hilo.

Amazing views and relaxing vibes

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an incredible stay. The room was quite spacious, the bed was very comfortable, the breakfast was delicious. We loved the sunrise wake ups each morning and falling asleep to the ocean waves and salt breeze. The tropical vibes of all the floral and greenery around the place helped make it more and more like paradise found! We only stayed a couple of days because we opted to try both sides of the island for the different "vibes" but we were actually disappointed to leave and try something else because we knew it couldn't be "better"!!! It was nice to stay somewhere without the touristy feel. We highly recommend and would for sure return for another stay!!!!!!!!!

Excellent Location! Free breakfast

Loved staying in this room. View to the ocean was spectacular. They would stock the fridge with fruits and yogurt for breakfast every day. Room has no AC and bathroom gets Hot but no big deal. Bed was super comfortable. There’s quite an amount of stairs to reach the roo.

Great space next to the ocean

We had a nice stay at this space. The only cons were the hot tub didn't work, and our door wouldn't lock from the outside with the key provided, but the space was secluded and we felt very safe despite. We would certainly stay in this beautiful space again. Mahalo!

This is our first B&B and we were very impressed. Great fresh breakfast provided every morning. Beautiful surroundings and sunrise. Not too far from town and excursions. We highly recommend this place and our wonderful host who was always available when needed.

Property is great, you can hear the ocean, great views, tucked back in a little neighborhood that is close to all the Hilo town activities. Great home base for Volcano exploring and other Hilo activities.

Love this place! Made our Hilo stay absolutely amazing!

We arrived late but the location is amazing, only about 5-10 mins drive to Hilo downtown but the best part is the ocean view in the morning when you have your breakfast. The included breakfast was really good (egg, yogurt, fresh fruit, pastry) and the location was quiet so you can fall asleep to the wave sounds.

Quiet, beautiful, home base to explore the Hilo area

My wife and I spent three nights in the Moana Room as we explored the Hilo area and it was perfect for our needs. The room was spacious and clean and boasts an amazing view overlooking Hilo Bay. We made use of the pool and hot tub and loved listening to the crashing waves below while drifting off to sleep.

We really enjoyed our stay. Being right on the ocean with the beautiful garden out front and a bistro table to enjoy meals on was a favorite aspect. It was easy to find and good location from town. Wonderful fresh fruit daily. Thank you for everything!

Location

Quiet road. A short drive into town. Able to watch surfers at Honoli'i Beach. Saw whales from the lanai. Continental breakfast was filling. The driveway is quite steep. If reserving Moana, you might want to back in.
