Excellent view

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view here is everything! The staff that brings breakfast and takes care of getting you clean towels if you need them also excellent. I would suggest maybe a check list for items you'd like for breakfast because one day they brought melon for the fruit and I don't like melon so it was wasted. I felt bad. My husband suggests replacing the ceiling fan in the bedroom because it did rattle some. We loved that it was close to town. We also liked watching the surfers every day.

Perfect Hilo Area Spot

Just a quick drive North of Hilo. Wonderful views of the surfing on Honoli'i Beach. Clean, comfortable, great pool with views. Everything you need. Great jumping off point for Hilo, the Hamakua Coast, the Volcanoes area, etc. Highly recommend!

Amazing location for scoping the surf from condo balcony and then surfing Honolii (better to drive as walking lanes narrow. Pool area is perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Sunrises are incredible. Comfy bed, good bathroom, and kitchen had everything you need including blender, electric plug-in stovetop cooker, mini fridge/freezer, and pots/pans/utensils. Starter coffee provided for drip coffee maker. Parking on a steep incline but it’s easy to get in and out. Awesome breakfasts w diverse fruit. Friendly family staff. Minor issues: No AC so nights can feel stuffy, bedroom fan noisy on high setting, sliding patio screen and glass door need a tune up (cleaned, silicone spray, new wheels) as tough to use. Would rate a solid 9 out of 10 and could be a 10 w minor fixes. Mahalo for our stay to all involved!

Great week long stay on the Big Island!

We chose to spend our entire week with Pele at Hale Kai as our center of operations; couldn’t have been more pleased. Comfortable accommodations, great breakfasts provided, easy access to everything in Hilo, and a fantastic setting. Would do it again without hesitation.

This place was perfect for us! The views from the outdoor patio and pool area couldn't be beat. Amazing sunrise every morning and were able to see whales. The unit itself was comfortable, had everything we needed. As mentioned there is no AC but it was still very comfortable with ceiling fans and a portable fan available. The breakfast was tasty with good variety each day. We would absolutely stay here again!

Short stay in a beautiful location

The views were gorgeous, loved sunrise and watching the surfers from our deck. The property was a little dated but that’s what I expected, so no surprise. Quite a bargain for the location and views and breakfast included.

Wonderful

This was our first time staying at this property and loved it. The view was spectacular. Such a peaceful location just a few miles from downtown. I was a little nervous about there being no AC but it was not a problem at all despite the high temps during the day. The only downside was someone parking in our spot. The situation was eventually remedied. Definitely recommended. Will see if this place is available next time we visit Hilo.

My wife and I spent the weekend at this quaint getaway. Location is fantastic. Just north of Hilo and a beautiful view of the ocean and the most popular surfing location in the area. Owner is fantastic with communication and texted me on the day of my arrival. Sunrises were amazing while enjoying a modest breakfast provided daily. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Loved the pool and jacuzzi too!

Hilo vacation

Loved the Pele suite. lots of room and the view is fantastic. Sitting outside over the pool watching the surfers is great. Very quiet and the grounds are lovely. Breakfast of muffins and fruit fresh every morning was a nice touch. Pool and hot tub are nice and since only 4 rooms here always empty. Only 5 min from downtown Hilo and all the shops and food choices.

Great 2 night stay

Great location to do a few days of site seeing around Hilo. Pool and hot tub were great. Enjoyed the views of the surfers from the balcony. While it was not hot and we were comfortable, I did miss the ac. Since we were not hanging out all day at the condo it worked perfect for a base for all we needed to do. The sunrises were amazing. I don’t have any objections to recommending anyone to stay here.

Great views of Hilo & surfers!

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: The Pele suite was great. Had it's own little porch with great views down to the surfing action at Honoli'i Beach and across to Hilo. It is not an entirely private porch since the walkway to the 3 other suites runs between our sliding glass door and the porch, but the only traffic would be another guest leaving or arriving for the day. Very minimal. The suite was simple and clean, nothing fancy, it was great. The views to the ocean and Hilo were what it was all about. Thanks for a great stay!

Great Views and cozy accomodations

The property is very nice and cozy. Not fancy, but very workable and clean. Appreciated the daily breakfast muffins and the coffee. View from the patio is great and the pool is just big enough to cool off. The hot tub was set way too high at 104, so we did not use it. The bed was comfy. Overall a great place to stay for the value. Aloha

Ocean views

Nice little apartment with a fantastic ocean view for whale watching. We enjoyed the complementary fruit / breakfast which is stocked in the fridge each day. It's nice and close to Hilo, but not quite walking distance. Furniture, bed, etc. are well thought out.In terms of compromises: The bathroom was OK (a fair amount of small bugs / ants; a bit small); there are a lot of frogs at night in this area which might annoy light sleepers; there is no proper kitchen. We were fine with these compromises for the great view.
