Stunning views at a reasonable price
We absolutely loved sitting on our balcony throughout our stay. It was definitely the highlight of this room, with stunning views and peaceful breezes (except the crowing roosters).
The location of this property gave us easy access to everything we wanted to do in the Hilo area, which was a big plus.
The price was more than reasonable and the hosts were helpful. The only downside was substandard pillows and a hard bed (which someone else might not mind, but I found uncomfortable).
All in all, I would recommend this location.

This is a very economical but charming place to stay. It has more of an Airbnb feel to it. The setting is quite wonderful. I think for it to be convenient it helped a lot to have a vehicle. Good small refrigerator, small microwave and a Keureg coffee maker, but not much else for food preparation and eating. I enjoyed the chickens.

Absolutely perfect. My husband and I reserved the room with the king-sized bed for a week and it exceeded all of our expectations. The property is gorgeous, the ocean view is breathtaking, and its walking distance to downtown Hilo. The parking space is tight but the house and room with a private balcony made up for it. We had a small fridge wich was great and the wifi was strong. Jade (the owner) was flexible with our reservation and just so great to work with.

The property had great views and good birds. Parking was a bit tricky but there are designated spots for the guests. Had to drive to get to restaurants and stores. The frogs and roosters were noisy but we got used to them. I gave an average rating for staff and service because we never saw the staff which was good but we did hear some noise from mowing and weeding and tree chopping.

Very comfortable bed and air conditioning when needed made room easy to have a good temperature for sleeping. Beautiful lanai and living area. Water pressure could be better and it varied during the stay. It’s the only thing that could improve. The rooster was a very good alarm for us because we did need to get up early, but for people who needed to sleep in, may be problematic. Really easy check in and check out with good security system.

Great place to stay in Hilo, cozy and quiet and yet still right off a main road down to Kamehameha avenue. Would highly recommend to anyone, though do note that parking is extremely tight.

We loved our 7-night stay at Hilltop vacation rental! We had the economy room with a view of the ocean and it was very cool to wake up to the sun rising. The room was clean, there was a shower and bathroom and all of the necessary essentials for our stay—coffee maker, small fridge, etc…The parking was a bit tight, but our rental Jeep fit into the parking spots! It was a quiet and peaceful stay. Would definitely recommend!

We had an relaxing one-night stay at the hilltop retreat! The host was incredibly kind and accommodating, making sure every aspect of our experience was top-notch. The ocean views were breathtaking, and the sounds of the tropical rain throughout the night created a magical ambiance. The king bed was super comfortable, and I loved the creative floor plan of the unit—it added a unique charm to the whole experience. Five stars all the way for this charming and relaxing getaway!

OK for a 1 night stay
My wife and I spent one night at Hilltop as part of our 4 day trip to the BI. We stayed in the largest king bedroom . The house itself is impressive, especially the exterior and grounds and it is well located near downtown Hilo. I recommend you ask the owner to turn on the air conditioner at least 2-3 hours before arriving. We arrived to a sweltering bedroom. The only TV was in the downstairs shared common area which has no AC. And as others have noted, parking is a problem in a small driveway area. Expect to hear several roosters crowing right outside the bathroom window throughout the night. And don’t expect plush, fresh smelling hotel quality bathroom towels. At least that is not we were provided. Hilltop was ok for a one night stay, but I can’t recommend an extended stay here unless the owners make some improvements.
