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.

We stayed in room 3, the Panoramic suite. Despite what the photos showed, there is no dresser in the room. In fact, there was no closet, dresser, wardrobe, clothing rack or clothing hooks. For the 4 days and 3 nights we stayed, we were forced to live out of our suitcases and deal with wrinkled clothes. I got so desperate I began hanging outfits from curtain rods. The bed was large and comfortable but oddly enough there is only one nightstand. I slept on the side without a nightstand and therefore had to put my phone and beverages on the floor as there was nowhere else near the bed to put it. The air conditioner in the room photos showed it inside of the bedroom but it’s since been moved to the opposite end of the suite in the kitchenette. The kitchenette is surrounded by single pane glass that heavily leaks the air. This meant the kitchenette was cooler but there was zero air circulation or fan inside the actual bedroom. This made it very uncomfortable and muggy to sleep. The walls and floors are very thin and we could hear people talking, dogs barking, doors shutting…etc. it wasn’t terrible but also not ideal. There is a rather large 2-3” gap under the door to the room. This made us very uncomfortable as literally anyone could look underneath or film with their cellphone. We ended up rolling a towel and placing it in front for privacy. The shower had decent water pressure but it only came in two temperatures. Melt your skin hot, and scalding hot.

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.

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.

Hilltop Vacation Was so wonderful, country like Home with very beautiful breathtaking views, quiet, country like atmosphere with chickens, a cat, romantic garden and more importantly: Everyone here at Hilltop Vacation make us feel so welcome and safe as well as helpful in any way! The gentleman from downstairs was very nice and helpful and greeted us with a nice smile! Thank you all for being so kind and for the beautiful Clean House!!! I will most definitely look forward to continue booking Hilltop Vacation and my family and friends will be considering it the first choice when they come to visit Big Island!! I LOVED IT THERE!!!

The check in process was ok. The living room of the house and the front yard are stunningly beautiful. However once we got to our rooms we were kind of disappointed. It seemed like maximal effort was put into the first floor of the house but a bare minimal effort was put into the room. The bathroom walls were unfinished and the water pressure of the shower very low, the faucet was loose and barely hanging. The bed was too soft and uncomfortable that my spouse and I had a hard time sleeping. I have to give the hosts a point for providing earplugs though because the wild life is very loud in the morning when you're still trying to sleep. If only the interior of the room matched the living room. A pity! Location is great though.

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!

The home was once beautiful, a Bauhaus style architecture where a portion of the house was turned into nightly rentals. The view is gorgeous and gardens still show the original style. Although improvements were made in our bathroom, the suite was basic and could use some updating, as well as the large living room available to guests.
