Have stayed here twice over the past year in two different rooms. The bed could use an upgrade, it was a little too soft and the pillows small.

The property sits on a hill which was lovely for being in a quiet area and for privacy. The house, room, and bathroom was clean and we felt safe.

Check in was easy- note there are some fairly steep stairs leading up to the front door, as well as stairs within the house. I was very comfortable in my efficiency room, and especially appreciated the water, condensation, and diamond bakery cream crackers which were a much needed snack during my Merrie Monarch adventures! A great location and a comfortable place to stay for any Hilo vacation. ##### Jennifer Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Benjamin N.

Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Judith Sep 24, 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities the property was loud, fake birds chirping loudly all night, dog would bark a lot, can hear people in adjoining rooms. Ear pods but can't sleep with anything in my ear. only received housekeeping 2x with 6 night stay. Towels smelled. AC was not well equipped for sleeping area. One last night there someone tried to get into room at 11pm by using pin code on door. Didn't feel safe there. Big gap under all rooms. ##### Judith Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nuo Jul 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The house is very clean and beautiful, the owner enthusiastically gave us the guide of checkin, if there is an opportunity we will consider living again :⁠-⁠) ##### Nuo Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ajanth Anilkumar Jun 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We absolutely loved the location and the beautiful common areas at Hilltop Legacy — peaceful surroundings and stunning views! The host was very friendly and even took time to chat with us and share some great local recommendations. The bathroom didn’t have a vent, so it could get a bit musty after use, and we missed having a microwave and an iron. Also, if you’re a light sleeper, the hens cooing through the night might be a bit disruptive. Overall, a charming place with a lot of character and hospitality! ##### Ajanth Anilkumar Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Gina Dec 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities The king suite is an end unit with a wonderful balcony. The studio apartment has a large area with the king bed, sitting area and large picture window with a beautiful view. Bathroom is spacious and includes a separate area with a lit vanity with a bench. At check-in, the room was clean and very well prepared. Parking is tight, but there is a system in place that makes it work. The only issues we had were that housekeeping didn’t replenish the coffee and tea supplies (even after 3 requests were made). Also, we received a morning message that the room was ready, but it was not. Not sure what happened there in terms of the communications on those two issues. Minor issues, but they knocked my overall rating from a 5 star to a 4 star. Overall, I highly recommend the king suite (other rooms may not be as spacious and do not appear to include a balcony, which is important to us). Very cool converted “old” house with a nice common area that includes comfortable seating, TV and pool table. This area would provide a nice meeting place if you are booking with multiple people/multiple rooms. Great job!! ##### Gina Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Summer Mar 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is so cute and well kept, there was a pool table and the owners greeted us and made us feel right at home.

The property is well maintained and the communal area with pool table and games Is a great touch. Jade and the team went to every effort to make sure our stay was amazing. A 5 minute drive Into Hilo town but beware if you choose to walk it, the 20 minute walk back is all uphill. ##### sacchin Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim Dec 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities View from the house is beautiful especially sunrise in the morning. Walking distance to Hilo downtown. Property is at decent conditions. No elevator then if you don’t mind to carry luggages upstairs. ##### Kim Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Rachel Jan 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Amazing view from the king suite! Charming character and appreciated keurig with coffee pods and creamer, silverware and paper plates, etc. Walls thin and had some disturbance from one neighbor. Parking is difficult and steep. ##### Rachel Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter Nov 5, 2024 This is a very economical but charming place to stay. It has more of an Airbnb feel to it. The setting is quite wonderful. I think for it to be convenient it helped a lot to have a vehicle. Good small refrigerator, small microwave and a Keureg coffee maker, but not much else for food preparation and eating. I enjoyed the chickens. ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrey May 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### Andrey Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Apr 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### John Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Hotel Moloka'i](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaunakakai-Hotels-Hotel-Molokai.h37170.Hotel-Information) > - [2BR Ocean Views W/Large Lanai - Molokai Shores](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaunakakai-Hotels-2BR-Ocean-Views-WLarge-Lanai-Molokai-Shores.h90740705.Hotel-Information) > - [2417 at Lihue Oceanfront Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Lihue-Hotels-2417-Lihue-Oceanfront-Resort.h10333273.Hotel-Information) > - [ALOHA OceanFront Condo w.A/C, Molokai, Hawaii Watch whales Dec-April.](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaunakakai-Hotels-112night-Special-Ocean-Front-Condo-Molokai.h24414008.Hotel-Information) > - [Hanalei Ohana, The Ultimate Hanalei Home TVNC #5128](https://www.expedia.ca/Hanalei-Hotels-The-Ultimate-Hanalei-Home-TVNC-5128.h57940677.Hotel-Information) > - [At the Crater's Edge](https://www.expedia.ca/Volcano-Hotels-At-The-Craters-Edge.h1872668.Hotel-Information) > - [House of Paddles, POOL, Ocean close in Keaau, Hawaii, near Hilo](https://www.expedia.ca/Keaau-Hotels-House-Of-Paddles.h59959466.Hotel-Information) > - [Hanalei Bay Resort 1 Bed/1Bath Condo, Award Winning Pool, 5 Minutes to the Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Princeville-Hotels-Hanalei-Bay-Resort-1-Bed1Bath-Condo.h74725559.Hotel-Information) > - [Hawaii Life Rentals Presents Puu Poa 302](https://www.expedia.ca/Princeville-Hotels-Hawaii-Life-Rentals-Presents-Puu-Poa-302.h82376007.Hotel-Information) > - [Bay Club 2 bedroom Villa the heart of Waikoloa Village Beach-Kailua-Kona Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Villa-THE-BAY-Club.h60617308.Hotel-Information) > - [Fairway S Waikoloa J21 2 Bedroom Villa by RedAwning](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Fairway-S-Waikoloa-J21-2-Bedroom-Villa.h51675670.Hotel-Information) > - [Kolea 14F Pool, Gym & More!](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Kolea-14F-At-The-Waikoloa-Beach-Resort.h61619355.Hotel-Information) > - [Ocean View Room, Spectacular Beachfront Resort, 4 pools, Restaurants on site](https://www.expedia.ca/Lihue-Hotels-Spectacular-Oceanfront-Resort.h72394458.Hotel-Information) > - [Single-story Shores Golf Villa 19 - 3 Ensuite & Loft](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-The-Shores-19-3-Ensuite-Loft-At-The-Waikoloa-Beach-Resort.h71123125.Hotel-Information) > - [Rare Top-Floor Oceanfront Privacy – No Shared Walls](https://www.expedia.ca/Princeville-Hotels-Sealodge-F9-Top-Floor-With-Oceanfront-Views.h25797977.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Ocean Tower Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Ocean-Tower-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h28763131.Hotel-Information) > - [Oceanfront Kauai Beach Resort 75 foot waterslide, 4 pools, Jacuzzis, restaurants](https://www.expedia.ca/Lihue-Hotels-Oceanfront-Kauai-Beach-Resort-75-Foot-Waterslide.h91772367.Hotel-Information) > - [3br w/so many extras!
