Everything you need for a great family stay in Hilo. Just be prepared for the coqui frogs. Bring your love of nature or your earplugs at night! The hosts are responsive and accommodating.

Beautiful home, centrally located to everything we wanted to see/do on the east side of the big island. No AC was not a problem as long as windows were open and fans were going. Only had to shut them all the first night after a rain as the frogs were out in abundance! Other nights were fine. Washer/dryer and other amenities were very useful.
Enjoyed the fresh eggs from the chickens in the coop as well as the snack package you left us. Thanks!

Our family was here for a memorial service and arrived from Georgia, Ohio, Washington DC and Maine (7 adults). UhiWai was the perfect gathering spot for us. We were warmly welcomed by Yonnell and Keone and their home was comfortable with room to spread out. Every possible amenity was thought of and provided. I would happily return.

The property is a great little place located in a middle class neighborhood. The location was perfect for all the things we wanted to do on the Hilo side of the Big Island. Volcano National Park and lots of other hiking trails are within a 30 minute drive. There are several beaches/lagoons in close proximity which provide swimming and snorkeling opportunities. This place has all the amenities we needed. There is no AC which made some us a little nervous at first because you’ll want to keep the windows open at night to get the cool breeze, but we ended up liking it because you get to hear the frogs at night and the roosters in the morning which made us feel more connected to the area. We loved Hilo!

Good location to take advantage of the Hilo area and the east side of the Big Island. Very clean and safe. Beautiful home. Had just about everything we needed during our stay. We would stay here again, book with confidence. Left us a nice welcome package and included a dozen fresh eggs. Very much appreciated. One little thing, there is a gas grill, but if you use it there is an additional cleaning fee. That should have been disclosed in the property description.

Property is in a very quiet residential neighborhood a ten minute drive from downtown. Kitchen was well equipped and the owners left us a dozen fresh eggs from the coop behind the house.
House was clean and comfortable and you enter through the garage with a clicker so no need for keys or memorizing entry numbers.
Overall a nice place.

We had an amazing time in Hilo staying at this lovely house that exceeded our expectations. The house was equipped with fantastic amenities, making our family feel right at home. The kitchen had everything we needed, the living room was cozy, and the bedrooms were spacious and well-appointed.
The location of the house was perfect – a peaceful neighborhood close to Hilo's attractions. We could easily explore the town and enjoy its natural beauty.
The property management team was responsive and accommodating, making our experience even better. Overall, we highly recommend this house for a comfortable and convenient stay in Hilo. It truly felt like a home away from home, and we left with wonderful memories of our time in Hawaii.

It was a perfect location, as it was just minutes away from our conference location, eating locations, open market and shopping. The home accommodated 6 adult women with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Beautiful setting, very open for the beautiful scenery out the windows in the dining room, kitchen, living room and both bedrooms on the back of the home, with fresh and cool breezes, we were able to sit in the dining room and enjoy each other's company. Definitely a keeper.

Our family of four enjoyed a comfortable stay at this clean, welcoming home. There was plenty of room to spread out, unpack and settle in for a week. We loved the ease of pulling into the garage and loading or unloading our van on our daily excursions. The quiet fans in every room and nice breezes that flowed through the open windows kept the home comfortable. Earplugs at night while the Coqui frogs partied, allowed us restful sleep.
Thank you Yonnell and Keone for welcoming us to Uhi Wai!

This home is a gem. Its located in a very quite neighborhood not far from Hilo town. Easy access to the airport, grocery stores and lots of local eateries. This home beautifully upgraded, comfortable and very well taken care of. Having gone to Hilo for work it was beyond perfect after a long day. The property management was very professional and responded immediately to any of our needs.

We stayed for three nights at this really lovely house in Hilo. It looks just as pictured. It's very well-located for getting into Hilo and to the surrounding areas. The host also gave us some oranges from her tree, and homemade malasadas (look them up!). She also provided umbrellas to borrow, a necessity in rainy Hilo. Bring earplugs for the frog noise--it is quite loud.

The house was beautifully updated and immaculately clean, which made our stay in Hilo very pleasant. We were a group of 7, spanning 3 generations and had a very comfortable stay. The house was a great base for a trip to Volcanos National Park (45 mins away) and to visit the sights and attractions of Hilo. Big Box stores like Safeway and Target are within a 10 minute drive. Highly recommend this home for anyone wanting to visit Hilo.

Communication with the owners was excellent. We initially wanted to stay somewhere close to Volcano but we were so happy we went with this location instead. Highly recommend.

Our family from Kauai and Oahu needed a place for 2 nights to attend our son’s graduation from firefighter recruit training. This VRBO was the perfect place for a local family like ours. Extremely well kept and clean. Yonnell was also a great communicator. I highly recommend Uhi Wai and would absolutely stay here again if ever coming back to Hilo.

The property location is awesome, it is in the local hub of things and places. I love that the owners used sound proof windows because the croqui frogs get loud at night. The owners live behind you on the same lot. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with exception to the dining area. There is no privacy because no curtain was placed. The owners and their family can see what you’re doing if they wanted to, not that we were doing anything wrong. It’s just a privacy thing, especially when we dine with our family we wanted that. Mahalo to the owners for allowing us to stay in their beautiful home!

This house was the perfect choice for our family. It was immaculately clean - floors, bathrooms, kitchen, everything. The house was incredibly well stocked - cooking essentials and extras, a cooler, beach towels, beach gear, and more. We even noticed that they had lots of things for people traveling with babies.
All of the beds were comfortable. Water pressure in the bathrooms was good. The washer and dryer are nice, full-size models. The kitchen appliances are also really nice and in excellent condition.
As Texans, it was an adjustment for us to leave windows open instead of having an air conditioner, but I grew to really enjoy the fresh air and the island sounds. Light sleepers might struggle with the local frog songs, but that seems to just be a part of life around Hilo. Closing the windows blocks the sound almost completely.
My entire family loved this house and agreed that it was the best place we stayed on the Big Island. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We stayed for two nights and saw many waterfalls off the highway and turtles at Hilo ocean spots. This was a clean, comfortable home to use as a base camp. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. The frogs were very loud at night but that was also part of the fun. The owner provided a bunch of delicious fresh eggs from their chickens. It’s in a neighborhood so occasionally we’d hear some barking dogs. It was nice to be able to park in the garage. Thanks for sharing your home.

So clean. So quiet. Felt very welcomed by the owners. Fresh local fruit and eggs waiting for us upon arrival. Beautiful property both inside and out. Comfortable beds. Nice bathrooms. Good location...being on the ocean isn't everything. Tropical rainforest scent was amazing. Wish we had booked it for more nights.

What a tremendous stay in Hilo.
This home was in the perfect location. Close proximity to Volcano, downtown, Rainbow Falls and others.
The home is pristine. SPOTLESS. Clearly the owners take great pride in their property. We had everything we needed. From laundry detergents to extra towels and fresh eggs from the chicken out in the backyard.
Our family and friends enjoyed this stay and will definitely be back again if we find our travels in Hilo.
