Beautiful view and beautiful pool. Hosts are very friendly and courteous, loved the stylish decor and the thoughtful touch of welcome chocolates and beers.
Jun 27, 2019Very lovely place with friendly host who was willing to help with any local info he could provide
Jun 27, 2019Beautiful scenic drive to the property just minutes from Downtown Hilo. We enjoyed our stay at the pool house. Loved the vibrant teal colors, the gorgeous ocean views, cleanliness and coziness. It was so quiet, peaceful and was just as pictured in the photos. Mahalo Kalani and Lisa!
Jun 27, 2019Not only is the location beautiful, Kalani and Lisa were both very kind and welcoming. It was wonderful being 15 minutes from Hilo International and 5 minutes from the beach. The volcano and some really cool hot springs are also less than an hour away. Their puppy Iwa was one of the highlights of our stay, she was always so happy to us! I definitely plan to visit again.
Jun 27, 2019This was our first airbnb experience and it went flawlessly. Loved the location, the accommodations, the hosts... everything we could have hoped for and more. Would do it all over again in a heartbeat!
Jun 27, 2019Kalani and Lisa are very kind. The house is great. We had wonderful experience here!
Jun 27, 2019Cute puppy!
Jun 27, 2019A very safe choice.
Jun 27, 2019Great place, great location, excellent hosts and great atmosphere. The pool house is stylish, private, elegant, functional and it's few minutes from Downtown Hilo. Kalani and Lisa are excellent hosts and we strongly recommend staying at their poolhouse.
Jun 27, 2019We had a great stay at the Pool House! It was clean and modern, and the hosts were very friendly and very responsive with communication. Thanks for having us!
Jun 27, 2019Great Ohana with comfortable beds, awesome pool and hot tub. We had an excellent overnight stay while working our way around the Big Island. Enjoyed good conversation with Lisa and Kalani and would recommend their place anytime.
Jun 27, 2019Beautiful place, amazing hospitality! Want to come back ASAP!
Jun 27, 2019Would stay here again in a heart beat.
Jun 27, 2019The house is quite close to Hilo so it’s very convenient. And I really like the color style of the entire room.
Jun 27, 2019This beautiful pool house is the perfect home base for exploring Hilo and this half of the island. Lisa and Kalani were wonderful hosts and recommended walking to a secluded beach nearby. A very clean, modern space with an ocean view.
Jun 27, 2019Good location and very clean. We would definitely stay here again next time.
Jun 27, 2019Beautiful spot close to Hilo but secluded enough to enjoy the peace and serenity of the rainforests that border the area. Beautiful walk through the forests with bridges and waterfalls brings you to beach access. Great spot for surfers and beach lovers alike. Hosts are very sweet and the puppy love (they have an adorable Cairn Terrier) makes the stay all the better!
Jun 27, 2019Beautiful spot! Was exeptionally clean and well taken care of, we didn’t have time to use the pool or hot tub but both looked amazing! Location is very close to Hilo airport. Kalani is very friendly and quick to respond, and let us borrow some snorkeling equipment for the day. Also their little dog Eva is so precious! Had a great stay, definitely recommend.
Jun 27, 2019We recommend this lovely retro cottage. Hosts are very responsive and a new puppy in the main house can visit if you need an animal fix. Out of the busy downtown - but easy to drive the short distance to Kona, or take an Uber as we did. Mahalo!!
Jun 27, 2019The place is awesome. Thank you so much for this wonderful place
Jun 27, 2019Beautiful home!
Jun 27, 2019Very well kept! We loved Evalani, the little puppy watch your Slippas! ;) We had a great time thank you.
Jun 27, 2019Kalani & Lisa are amazing people; they embraced us into their Ohana immediately. Awesome place, great pool, and close to everything in Hilo. Lisa gave us great advice about activities and ensured we were armed with local knowledge. The ocean view and pool/hot tub are incredible. Mahalo!!!
Jun 27, 2019We would have liked to stay longer (we had three nights at Kalanis & Lisas pool house)! Highlights: The beautiful surrounding with the nearby beach, the pool, the hot tub and the friendly host-family with their puppet. Thumbs up! Great place!
Jun 27, 2019We had a nice stay at the pool house. Kalani and Lisa are lovely people and the place is exactly how it is described on the listing.
Jun 27, 2019We stayed 2nights. The place is about 10minutes away from downtown and very close to surf spot. We enjoyed the view from the room! Beautiful sunrise and ocean!
Jun 27, 2019This pool house is super nice ! You can be 4 adults easily. Definitely a place I will recommend :)
Jun 27, 2019Super-cute spot minutes from downtown Hilo. Right next to some truly beautiful forested gullies and a view of the water. We really enjoyed staying here.
Jun 27, 2019Property is clean but very basic with no TV, microwave, stove, etc.
Jun 27, 2019Really clean and comfortable space for our family of four. The kids loved the pool. Would definitely recommend!
Jun 27, 2019A very clean home, we felt very comfortable, the communication was top notch, we even got some eating utensils we needed for breakfast.
Jun 27, 2019Close to town yet out of the traffic. Also convenient to good surf spot viewing. Loved my morning swim in the pool and appreciated restaurant and activity tips.
Jun 27, 2019Kalani and Lisa were excellent hosts. The pool house was renovated and it felt very chic on the inside. We were very pleased with the accommodations and the tips our hosts gave us. We would recommend this place for anyone wishing to set up in the Hilo area.
Jun 27, 2019A very nice, clean and simple place. Wish we had time to stay a few nights longer.
Jun 27, 2019The pool house itself was clean and stylish. Shampoo and conditioner were provided however, soap was not. The puppy is incredibly cute and friendly. We wanted to use the hot tub, however, it didn't seem clean so we opted not to.
Jun 27, 2019Super cute pool house! Really close to downtown Hilo. Host was very nice and accommodating
Jun 27, 2019A nice airy guest house away from downtown and up in the hills. Great beaches within a 15-20 minute drive. The pool was fantastic and the hosts were super friendly (so was the dog Eva!).
Jun 27, 2019Der Aufenthalt war super schön und gemütlich. Das Pool Haus ist sauber und sehr modern. Die Gegend ist ebenfalls sehr ruhig...man ist jedoch schnell in der Stadt hilo und auch sehr nah am Strand. Wir können diese Unterkunft jedem weiterempfehlen!
Jun 27, 2019非常棒的房子,很親切的屋主! 喜歡大自然的你這是最棒的選擇。
Jun 27, 2019This is a great spot to stay close to Hilo! The guest house is very clean and modern and a great place to recharge after a day of exploring.
Jun 27, 2019what a lovely place to stay, loved it even if it was just for one night.
Jul 27, 2019Highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Hilo! My husband and I stayed here two nights. The private room/house was just as described! There were great views of Hilo from the house (including a distant view of the lava). Home location was not impacted at all by the volcano; very safe distance away. The house was also very close to downtown Hilo, an easy 10 minute drive down the street. Kalani and Lisa are fantastic hosts! They will give you great tips on things to do. Thanks for a great stay!
Jun 27, 2019We loved staying here with Super hosts Lisa and Kalani! Especially the little puppy Eva, who was a friend to our children during the stay. Everything that we need to say has already been said by previous guests so no need for us to repeat it because it was all greatDefinitely book this place if you're looking for a fun family oriented experience for any length of time in Hilo!
Jun 27, 2019There was nothing not to love about Kalani and Lisa's place! They are beautiful people with a beautiful home in the most beautiful location on the Big Island! Our trip to the Big Island was better than I could have ever dreamed or imagined! Kalani and Lisa's is the place to be!
Jun 27, 2019The place was clean and nice. Matching colors for a stylish cozy place. Views of the Kilauea, especially at night.
Jun 27, 2019This was a wonderful little getaway spot. We hope to able able to stay again one day.
Jun 27, 2019This was a great place to stay! It was very clean, adorable, the host was very helpful and communicated with me quickly, quiet, an adorable puppy that was quiet, and there was an amazing view. I would definitely recommend staying here!
Jun 27, 2019Planning to stay here again!
Jun 27, 2019Great location! We were able to see orange glow of Puna lava flow at night. Awesome pool and hot tub!
Jun 27, 2019We had a very nice time at the Pool House. It was beautiful with a lot of space. The view is amazing. The swimming pool is a plus. And the puppy is so adorable ! Thanks Kalani & Lisa !
Jun 27, 2019We stayed at Kalani and Lisa's place just one night but it would be perfect for a longer stay in the Hilo area as they're close to town. The space is cozy and impeccably arranged, and we found it very comfortable. I was able to meet Kalani and Lisa, who are lovely people - kind, quick to respond, and quite flexible, they made us feel very much at home. They also provided recommendations for running routes and even let my wife borrow a surfboard to check out the local surfing spot! We have been missing our own dogs on this trip so it was a delight to get to spend some time with their puppy Iwa. Definitely recommend this Airbnb for your stay in Hilo!
Jun 27, 2019Simple place with great amenities in a great location. The hosts are very respectful and kind. The dog Iwa is awesome and fun to watch chase the dragonflies around.
Jun 27, 2019Pool house molto confortevole e splendida posizione se si ha una macchina a disposizione (ca 5 min di macchina dal centro di Hilo). Ci ritorneremo sicuramente se ritorniamo a Hilo.
Jun 27, 2019We loved our stay here. Kalani and Lisa were responsive, friendly and inviting - made us feel right at home. There place is amazingly decorated, with a lot of character. It is secluded and quiet and yet super close to Hilo with its shops and restaurants. It is also easy access heading north as well towards Waipi’o Valley. We would definitely stay here again.
Jun 27, 2019Nice place.
Jun 27, 2019Super Haus mit toller Lage. Kannst abends in den Pool hüpfen und den Sonnenuntergang sehen. Kann ich nur empfehlen, hammer Unterkunft!
Jun 27, 2019Nice place well located near Hilo. The pool house is clean and looks newly renovated with a nice mini fridge and a coffee maker. We were definitely happy to be able to use the pool at the end of a hot day. Plus, we could even see the lava glow at the horizon at night.
Jun 27, 2019Kalani and Lisa were welcoming and the space was clean and beautiful. We enjoyed our stay!
Jun 27, 2019New, pretty & very clean ...I would recommend this place! There was also an adorable and well-behaved puppy.
Jun 27, 2019the pool was nice and cool with great night lighting as well as having the ability to view the lava glow from the pool deck area.
Jun 27, 2019We stayed 3 nights at Kalani & Lisa's pool house and had the most amazing time there. The views on the ocean, the pool and hot tub : perfect combo to enjoy Hilo and the whole east coast of Big Island ! I absolutely recommend this place !
Jun 27, 2019Perfect place to stay to explore Hilo, Volcanos, and the Hamkua Coast. It's close to town and convenient. Simple and clean and private --- with a pool and a beautiful view of Hilo Bay. It's delightful.
Jun 27, 2019We could not have had a better experience. A beautiful home in a very convenient location just minutes north of Hilo. A great family! From the pool you have views of the Pacific ocean with great surfing just right around the corner. The guest house is nicely updated and well kept. We highly recommend this location! Great hosts and wonderful little dog!
Jun 27, 2019Aloha, the room is beautiful and beds are very comfortable. We didn't use the pool because of the rain but it's big and clean. Kalani and Lisa are very kind. We recommend their pool House.
Jun 27, 2019Pool house was very comfortable, super cute! Excellent location, close to town. Fast internet!
Jun 27, 2019Check in was a breeze and in a great location. We were greeted by they’re sweet pup Iwa who my little one loved and got plenty of puppy kisses. Lisa and Kalani were just the nicest people and made us feel comfortable and welcomed in their home. It was spacious and clean and had everything you needed in arms reach! Their view from the pool is also breathtaking! Really enjoyed our stay!
Jun 27, 2019Kalani and Lisa have a cool pool house. Two great comfortable beds instead of the usual sofa bed/1 bed combo which was a treat. They have a friendly playful dog who will keep you amused. A lovely beach within walking distance that surprisingly avoids the highway. Such a pity Hurricane Lane prevented us from making the most of the place, though I definitely enjoyed an early morning dip in the pool when we still had the lovely ocean view!
Jun 27, 2019Very clean accommodation well located and with the necessary amenities for a perfect stay.
Jun 27, 2019Location good for Hilo, Botanical Gardens and waterfall exploration. Cute puppy to greet you.
Jun 27, 2019The location of this stay was absolutely perfect for us! Close enough to run in to Hilo for a meal, but far enough out that we didn’t feel like we were in a city. There is beautiful, lush landscape in this area, that made us feel like we were sleeping in a dream. Information for our stay was incredibly quick and thorough, especially as we book the afternoon of our arrival. I would definitely recommend this spot to others.
Jun 27, 2019Loved this spot! Close to town without all the busy traffic. The pool and hot tub are a bonus.
Jun 27, 2019Nice host
Jun 27, 2019I surely recommend Kalani and Lisa pool house ! We spend two night there and everything was great. There’s a nice surf spot near by their place. They are super nice and helpful.
Jun 27, 2019We had a great stay at the pool house of Kalani and Lisa. It was very clean and modern. The pool is awesome and we had some time to relax there and enjoy our last day there :)
Jun 27, 2019We stayed for 2 nights and the place is amazing. Great location, quick communication, clean and private. As a bonus there is a cute puppy. I definitely recommend.
Jun 27, 2019Great spot with a view of the Hilo waterfront. Quiet area but only a few minute drive to downtown. Would stay again!
Jun 27, 2019This house has a lot of style and personality! Me and my girlfriend really enjoyed staying here. The pool and jacuzzi are a welcome addition.
Jun 27, 2019Bon logement pour passer quelques jours à Hilo. , Le logement est bien malgré son vis à vis sur la maison des hôtes. La vue est superbe et l’emplacement est top.
Jun 27, 2019This space is amazing! The pool house is spacious, the bed were super comfy, and everything is clean and updated, but still feels very retro. The pool space and views were beautiful. I was able to explore lots of the Big Island, and looked forward to calling this home, even for just a few nights.
Jun 27, 2019The House is really nice and comfortable. Evertything was clean. Good located as it is only a short drive to Hilo.
Jun 27, 2019Kalani and Lisa’s place was lovely! Views of Hilo from the pool and the cutest dog ever. There was easy access to the pool house with a super comfortable bed and lovely sitting place. We’ll definitely be back to stay!
Jun 27, 2019Très agréable séjour chez Kalani & Lisa. Le logement est proche d'Hilo et accessible. La chambre était parfaitement propre. Nous vous le conseillons sans hésiter !
Jun 27, 2019What a great space! I loved staying in Kalani and Lisa's pool house. It was just as described, super cute and comfy, simple but very clean, and we loved being able to use the hot tub and pool - what a wonderful bonus. And they have the cutest dog ever! I will definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.
Jun 27, 2019高台に建つ一軒家の敷地内にあるコテージ。オーナー宅のプールサイドに建ち、寝室を一歩出れば、すぐにプールで泳ぎジャグジーで温まることができる贅沢な環境です。広い庭は柵で囲まれていて、犬が自由に遊んでいます。とても人懐こい犬なので、一緒に外に出てしまわないように注意。キッチンはなく、冷蔵庫のみ、食器はグラスのみなので、買ってきたものを食べるなら紙皿やお箸があると便利。
Jun 27, 2019Cute little casita , great and quiet location . Hosts were helpful with local info and pool/jacuzzi easily accessible. Puppy was adorable and a great babysiter for our 7 year old.
Jun 27, 2019Good location just to the north of Hilo. Pretty view oft the town, especially in the evening. Didn’t used the pool or hot tub, but really nice to have access to.
Jun 27, 2019The guesthouse was very cute and clean. We really enjoyed the space! Bring eye masks if you’re sensitive to light because it can get bright in the morning. We didn’t have time to use the pool or hot tub but they looked inviting!
Jun 27, 2019super clean and fun atmosphere. wonderful views of the ocean. hot tub was great at night. classy hosts. easy to check in and out. felt like I was a local.
Jun 27, 2019A quaint pool house with views over Hilo Bay. We enjoyed our stay here. Host were friendly, but not intrusive. it is a few minutes out of Hilo, so a car is a must. Some noise in the evening from local wildlife (frogs maybe???), but was a calming sound - I suspect this will be the same wherever you stay in Hilo.
Jun 27, 2019Beautiful place very close to Hilo. We enjoyed our stay very much. The place is clean, safe and beautiful. We would definitely come again!
Jun 27, 2019We loved our stay and appreciated the hosts' quick responses and helpfulness when asked. Would stay there again in a heartbeat. It's a gorgeous home and really convenient location. Loved the jacuzzi and the views. Thanks :-)
Jun 27, 2019Overall, we had a pleasant stay at Kalani & Lisa's place. However, we were a bit unfortunate with the timing of our stay at Kalani & Lisa's place. They happen to have had contractor work on the deck being done the day that we arrived so we did not have access to the great pool (for the first day) and hot tub (for our stay). Kalani and Lisa were responsive to this issue and had worked to address some of the problems. Otherwise, everything was great. Close to Hilo and the beach were a big bonus.
Jun 27, 2019This cozy cottage was perfectly located close to Honolii Bay and downtown Hilo. We both got a great nights sleep as it was quite and comfortable. Very clean and stylish, we loved the vintage frig.
Jun 27, 2019It was nice- but a littlebit less privacy
Jun 27, 2019Spacious, comfy, and the best location to experience what Hilo has to offer. I grew up in Hilo and returned for a visit and this place really made a memorable trip. Walking distance to the beach and waterfalls. 5 minutes to downtown for shopping and food. Convenient location, loved the hot tub option and pool was so clean and refreshing. Will definitely stay there again.
Jun 27, 2019It is quiet. Where you can hear the sounds of nature at night.
Jun 27, 2019This is a lovely spot, Lisa & Kalani’s pool house is delightful. I arrived in the dark after a long day and night of traveling and so what a lovely surprise to wake up to the sun rising above the ocean from the bedroom window. The pool and hot tub are the perfect place to relax and unwind and the location is great for Hilo and other towns close by. I did not meet Lisa & Kalani however all instructions given fo check in were clear and easy. I definitely recommend staying here.
Jun 27, 2019Its a great location and very clean. We really enjoyed the jacuzzi with a great view. It was a stylish room with basic amenities, good for a short stay.
Jul 27, 2019Very nice and clean. Decorated nicely. Very cute dog! Close to downtown Hilo and lots to do that side.
Jun 27, 2019A very pleasant stay during our visit to Hilo. I
Jun 27, 2019Great location!
Jun 27, 2019Kalani and Lisa are very helpful and quite responsive. This is a handy place to stay near Hilo with comfortable beds.
Jun 27, 2019Très propre et très bien situé! Le jacuzzi en chauffe vous y attend à votre arrivée! Un vrai volcan! :) Parfait pour vous relaxer de votre journée de route!
Jun 27, 2019Lisa & Kalani's converted pool house is an awesome place to stay in Hilo. Gorgeous ocean views, very clean and stylish interior, a pool and hot tub (!!) for visitors' use, and very convenient location to Hilo downtown. Our hosts were excellent in communicating and with check-in instructions and directions. I highly recommend this Airbnb for anyone visiting beautiful Hilo!
Jun 27, 2019Great location, bring utensils, very comfortable sleeping, and some occasional outdoor bugs so don’t leave food out for ants. Amazing sunrises that wake you up if you leave the blinds open. Excellent communication and hospitality! :)
Jun 27, 2019We loved our stay.
Jun 27, 2019The location was good with a view to the ocean, the place had a modern look with nice turquoise accents in its interior.
Jun 27, 2019Spacious, excellent location, easy to find, close to Hilo, beautiful evening view, and accommodating hosts. Bonus pool and hot tub, for a relaxing evening after a long day!
Jun 27, 2019Amazing experience! Great location and breathtaking views! Lisa and Kalani were great hosts and communication with them was super fast and easy. Definitely a great deal!
Jul 27, 2019This pool house is terrific! Perfectly located with a beautiful view, this guest home has all the modern touches along with maintaining its original charm and architecture. The guest quarters had ample space-and while it is disclosed in description, it is worth noting that there is only a coffee maker and mini fridge in the room itself. We ate out most meals, so this was perfect for our needs. But, considering there are two beds in the house, if you have a family, there isn’t a microwave/toaster or way to keep warm foods warm-didn’t pose an issue for us. Also, there is no TV (again no problem for us, we just happened to be exhausted on our last night and opted to stay in). We had a laptop so we were able to connect to wifi and watch hulu/netflix on our last night-nice and relaxing. The hosts are super friendly, very very communicative and gave us wonderful tips and recommendations during our stay. We were beyond grateful for the pool and hot tub-It was the key factor in selecting this house versus others, and it didn’t disappoint! We highly recommend this property for the amenities and location.
Jun 27, 2019This place was clean but it was noisier than expected and way too much light entering room at night time if that type of thing bothers you.
Jun 27, 2019The houses is beautiful! Location is good!
Jun 27, 2019awesome place, with a great view and close to town location.
Jun 27, 2019The house of Kalani and Lisa is very well located and very nice. It has a wonderful pool and a jacuzzi. You can easily reach everything from the house by car. Everything was very clean. And you even have two beds. A big compliment also for the friendliness and the quick reaction. A big recommendation! Thank you for everything. Mahalo !!
Jun 27, 2019Lisa & Kalani's place is well located a few miles north of Hilo in a quiet neighborhood. They have a nice pool & hot tub. Lisa & Kalani were very responsive and generous hosts (let me borrow one of their surfboards) and went out of the way to make sure we were comfortable - they provided us with extra linens when we requested them, and were kind enough to invite us to share dinner with them on Valentine's Day. I definitely recommend their place.
Jun 27, 2019The property was clean and well presented. When we asked for crockery it was provided.
Jun 27, 2019Best value and view in hilo town!
Jun 27, 2019The pool house was nice and cozy.
Jun 27, 2019Convenient location and very clean! Bugs/birds were a little loud but not too bothersome. Thanks!
Jun 27, 2019A beautiful pool house with an amazing view and waterfalls within a 2 minute walk!
Jun 27, 2019Kalani’s place is great ; very clean and stylish. There is a jacuzzi and swimming pool outside. We really enjoyed staying there with my friend ! I highly recommend their place. Thank you !
