Our stay at Hilltop Vacation Rental was comfortable overall, and we stayed in Room #1. The room offered a wonderful view with plenty of livable space, and the adjoining patio was definitely a great perk. The location was convenient and provided easy access to town, which made getting around simple. The host was very courteous, and the key entry process was flawless. We also enjoyed the common area, including the indoor pool room. And if you enjoy a bit of local character, there are roosters roaming around the property. We didn’t happen to see the famous cat that many other reviewers mentioned, but we’re sure he was out making his rounds. There were a few drawbacks worth mentioning. The bathroom did not include washcloths, and towels were somewhat limited, with one bath towel and one hand towel provided per person. However, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner were available. The room itself is quite dated and could benefit from some upgrades. The property is large and has a lot of potential, though the exterior could use a good spring cleaning and pressure washing to freshen things up. Overall, we did enjoy our stay and would recommend it based on our experience. We would rate it a 3.5 out of 5

Stayed in the Legacy Suite and loved every minute of it! Didn’t want to leave. Can’t beat the views. Really appreciated having our own porch area off the bedroom. Photos show that yes the bathroom is a tad dated, but the house is nearly 100. Cmon. It was LOVELY. Everything worked. Our hosts were very communicative. I know some commented about the “signs everywhere with rules”… I don’t know. It did not feel overdone and I personally appreciated the notes so I was able to respect their home and have minimal to no misunderstandings. The detailed messages were so helpful for us. Very detailed, clear and easy to understand. The driveway is a bit tight, but maneuvering it gets easier. The property is unforgettable!

It was a great, safe location, only 1mile to Hilo downtown. Great patio and outdoor views. Had a wonderful charm of an older home. Very spacious bedroom. Very close to all Hilo outdoor attractions! Loved our stay
