We are Keone and Yonnell Farias. We were both born and raised here on this wonderful island. We welcome you to our beautiful new 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! Waiākea Uka is translated as "the mountainside" of Waiākea. There are beautiful views of both Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa mountain. The University of Hawaii at Hilo is located in the Waiākea district as well. There are parks and convenience stores within walking distance to the house but a car would be more suitable. Our house is your home away from home. We want you to feel at home during your stay. We also respect your privacy. The keypad entry allows you to come and go at your convenience. We live nearby and are only a call or text away for any questions, suggestions, and housekeeping needs you may have. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the mountains - Near a zoo ### Things to do - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![House (2 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94470000/94460400/94460377/13a71ccd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hilo Home w/ Private Deck + Stunning Ocean Views!

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. ##### Chris S.

The house is as described and more! After a busy day out sightseeing, it was always comforting to come back to a house that complemented our visit. We appreciated the usage of the garage with the garage door remote especially on those rainy Hilo days. The owners took much care and thought in making this house so welcoming! Just the little details such as a welcome gift and a dozen eggs from their backyard chicken coop was a sweet gesture. Our only regret was not being able to stay longer but we are looking forward to staying at this home again. ##### Kevin T.

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. ##### Carissa M.

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. Mahalo - ##### Laura Lei K.

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! ##### Dan G. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ---
