Home Brought Back to Life Hidden Off One of Hilo's Main Streets.
Aloha! We are Keone and Yonnell Farias. We were both born and raised here on this wonderful island. We welcome you to our beautiful re-done home and would be happy to share with you our favorite places. Located in a quiet neighborhood of Waiakea Uka, we are a short 10-minute ride from the airport, 35 minutes to the Volcano, and just a few minutes from local grocery stores and eateries! Like the house we grew up in..3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, open living room, nostalgic family room, kitchen opens to the dining room, huge yard with fruit trees, and beautiful local garden. A flag lot off one of Hilo's main streets leaves easy access yet privacy for your getaway. There is a nice story behind Maunaleo, Keone would run pass this home from teen years to adulthood, he would always admire the fruit trees in the yard. One day a year ago, he saw it was for sale. We quickly called the realtor and put in a bid for it. We were blessed to get it. For a year we called it our "new, old house", our "work in progress". We talked to many of the neighbors who gave us the history of the place, we decided to keep some its nostalgic beauty. We put a lot of love, a lot of hard, long workdays, and it finally got to where it is. Now we'd like to share it with you! We're sad to add this to our message to guests but care about your security and hard-earned money: We are a legally registered property, all bookings are only done on rental sites, we would not solicit through social media messaging. Please do not book or send money through them.

The home was in a quiet neighborhood. Having all of the “extras” like a cooler, ice packs, cooking equipment, beach chairs, comfortable beds and the large living room space made it an enjoyable stay!
Wonderful and comfortable home with good vibes. It was very rainy one of the days we were in Hilo and it was great to have a spacious place to hang out, play board games, watch a movie and chill.
Our second time there and just as awesome the second time around. Keone and Yonnell made it easy to check-in and out. Very convenient location, clean, cozy and comfortable stay in a nice neighborhood. Well-maintained, well-supplied, everything we needed for a good stay. We're glad it was available.
The property was exactly as advertised and extremely clean and well-kept. The location was a little tricky, but the host’s instructions helped us find it easily. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and we had a great weekend stay.
Generally we are happy with our staying of 3 nights. The house is neat , clean and quiet. Owner provided a lot of cooking essentials our family is able to make simple meals.
We had a wonderful stay at this house! The property was clean, check-in was easy, and the property had everything we needed. It was our first time on the island, and this home made our stay in Hilo a memorable experience!

This property immediately gives you a sense of HOME upon walking in. Our family lives in Kona and we often travel to Hilo for the drag racing as my daughter races. This labor day weekend was a jammed packed 3 day racing event and the hotel prizes were OUTRAGEOUS!! Having the opportunity to stay at this property made our stay less stressful with the comforts of a home, we were able to cook and being conveniently close to downtown made it EXTRA sweet!! Already looking to book the next race with a stay here!! Mahalo to Keone and Yonnell who both were amazing with communication!
We enjoyed the accommodations! It worked well for our two night trip to explore the Volcano National Park and the town of Hilo. Everything was as stated. Thank you for opening up your home to us. We would definitely stay again if in the area. Mahalo

Absolutely great home away from home! Fully functional home with amenities. Beautiful property with citrus trees, lots of chirpy frogs, and great access to all of Hilo. No air conditioning, but there are tons of windows and the cross breeze is so pleasant. Being in a neighborhood, there are quiet times which is so nice!
We enjoyed our stay here. The backyard is large enough for the kids to run around and see around. They enjoyed pick up fruits and eating it. The house is well maintained with all types of tools provided. I really appreciate the small stool offered, just like the one we have at home. That allowed my young daughter to reach to higher space/areas as she does at home without calling for lift all the times. The house is very spacious. My old one enjoyed reading quietly in the sun room by himself without being interrupted.The location is great, too. Close to the downtown and the rainbow falls, but very quiet most of time. The owner is nice and quick in reply messages. We also appreciate the welcome bag full of special Hilo snacks.

Such a lovely home located close to shopping and restaurants. Large bedrooms enough to accommodate my family of 5 adults more space if needed. The home was very clean, the kitchen well equipped.
We liked the covered vehicle carport. A plus on a rainy day.
The host communicated well answering questions and concerns. We would stay here again in the future.
We really enjoyed our stay here. It accommodated our family of five with plenty of space. The kitchen amenities and washer and dryer were great. It is set back off the road so we did not have any road noise. It does not have air conditioning but does have fans. With the windows open, there was great air flow and we did not need the AC. You can hear the frogs at night but we enjoyed it and it never kept us awake at night. The location was close to Walmart, restaurants, shopping, and a central location to explore the island. The owners promptly responded to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again.
this property is ideally located, neat and has all that is needed for a comfortable stay.

Great property in a convenient are for activities around Hilo. Owners were great with great communication. House was very clean, had everything we needed Would definitely stay there again.
Thank you Yonelle and Keone for welcoming us into your house! It was the perfect location, close to town, beaches and UH Hilo to visit our daughter! Super clean & comfortable. They expressed concern with people picking form their beautiful mango tree, which we completely understood, but they were so generous to bring us fresh sliced mango! Our kids were so happy! Yonelle gave us different ideas of things to do on the island, and everyone had a great time. -They had everything we needed, from kitchen condiments to beach chairs and coolers. Definitely hoping to come back again soon. Thank you so much!
This house is much nicer than the pictures portrayed. Super clean. Kitchen well stocked. Lots of room for a family of five. Would definitely stay here again. Close to Downtown Hiko….as well as waterfalls and Volcano National Park.
