Amazing property
We had a great stay here, the hot tub and pool were great, lots of toys and things for our kids to play with in the pool. The house was amazing right from the attached garage to park in to the pool table and bedrooms, i would highly recommended staying here. I talked to the property owner and asked if there was a pack and play for our baby to sleep in, he said no but he ended up buying one just for us. Great service altogether.

Serene, Magical Week!
6 of us…three couples all over 65. We came to Hilo for the Merrie Monarch Festival Everything as described. Incredible setting. Beautiful home. Huge kitchen, large outdoor pavilion. One minor inconvenience…We had some issues with water pressure the first night when we went to take showers. We called property manager first thing next morning and WOW…she was on it. Got it fixed fast and efficiently. (The PM Yevette was incredible at her job! ) Pre visit owner Juan was very responsive and professional too. Thank you for letting us enjoy this beautiful property

Enjoy Hawaii like Local
This is a well-maintained property, although it does suffer a couple of (understandable) natural issues, given its proximity to the ocean. Very spacious, there were nine of us total including a year old baby, a five year old and seven adults. We were never crowded. We had rain every day, but the house is designed nicely to accommodate outdoor activities even when the weather is not cooperating.
The pool and spa or wonderful, although the spa needs some maintenance, it has sharp edges on the steps that got us a couple of times. We had never done a VRBO, previous stays we’re at resorts when we’ve come to the islands, so this experience was new to us. While I missed having service professionals to see to all needs, a very happy stay was enjoyed by all. Be aware that the house is in a residential area that is well off the beaten path, and you’ll need to plan ahead regarding grocery shopping and restaurants, etc. and Hilo. I found a ‘local’s only’ market very close by, and made several trips to it over the week to get treats. When we return to the Big Island, we’ll look to stay here again. Highly recommend.

Big Island Adventure
We rented this property because the cost was reasonable for the time of year, compared to an equitable home on Kona. We found the house fit the needs of our family of 10 very well. It is spacious, beautiful, and clean. The pool, hot tub, and outdoor kitchen were great in the evenings when we returned from our adventures.
We will note that despite being here at the end of December, it was still pretty hot in the house despite all windows open and fans running. It cooled off nicely by 12:30/1:00am. I imagine the summers here are very hot since there is no AC. The house manager was awesome, giving us tons of tips and things to do if we were looking for more. Overall, a great place!

Well stocked place to stay!
7 of us recently stayed at the Villa Paraiso and it was a nice, quiet, relaxing enclave. There's tons of space to spread out - we did not feel crowded at all. Everything was as-advertised and clean. Very well stocked, from every possible kitchen item you'd need (including spices), to all the beach accessories you'd need for a day on the beach (umbrellas, chairs, cooler, etc). There are also several bikes for use, and an extensive library of DVD movies. A whole chest full of pool toys for the pool. Not a far drive from Pāhoa or Hilo. A good central starting point to get to the aforementioned towns, Volcanoes National Park, beaches, parks, etc. Pool, spa, lanai great to come home to and relax after a day of exploring.
Communication with both the owner and the on-island manager was great. Check-in instructions were clear and easy.
We were greeted by the manager on our first morning and she had some great recommendations for local things to do and see.
My only complaint is that we should have stayed longer!
Don't be alarmed if there are a few bugs, it's part of life on the island.

Open & relaxing
After two weeks at resorts we loved being able to settle our family into a house to relax & cook for ourselves. No hitches in getting into the home & caretaker was a nice source of information & easily reached. Great location to easily drive to everything we wanted to see on this side if the island. Kitchens both indoor & outdoor are great & I personally enjoyed after resort food. No A/C in house but that is no problem once you get the house opened up & breezes come through. If we get back to Big Island again this house will be a repeat if available.

Fantastic Rental!
Loved staying at Villa Paraiso in Keaau, HI! The property was magnificent and perfect for our group of 10. Plenty of room for everyone to enjoy their stay. My grandchildren loved the pool and we spent many hours seating out on the lanai. Not enough can be said about how great the kitchen was and it allowed us to serve most of our meals in a relaxing manner. Hated to leave at the close of our 10 day visit.

A slice of heaven off the beaten path
Our family of 4 (myself, my husband and our two boys 6 and 9) stayed at Villa Paraiso for 8 days. We were looking for our own place removed from town and the touristy spots, and it did not disappoint. The house is a good 15 minutes from a local market and 20-30 minutes from restaurants in the area, but if you’re ok with being a little farther out and getting that true local feel, this is the place! Juan, the owner, was more than accommodating. So much so that he was willing to buy a small stand up AC unit for the downstairs bedroom (I was a bit nervous renting a house in Hawaii in June with no AC). I do have to mention that there were a few nights that were very hot and uncomfortable (the upstairs bedrooms have a bamboo floor so AC isn’t possible there) but we are also from Colorado and not used to humidity. There were also a few nights where it cooled off nicely and the breeze from the ocean made it much easier to sleep. Definitely something to consider if you’re thinking about visiting in the summer though.
That was the only downside to the house. The pool and hot tub were amazing…we spent the majority of our time there (the pool toys for the boys were a huge hit). The house itself is lovely and spacious, perfect size for our family and would accommodate more people easily. The kitchen is huge and well stocked. Juan also has an extensive movie collection so we enjoyed family movie nights and my boys also enjoyed playing PlayStation games and riding the bikes around as well (when they needed a break from the pool).
The property manager Yvette was also a big help. She met us our first day at the house to go over everything, and ended up being a great resource for us throughout the trip.
All in all it was a great stay…a true slice of paradise!

Fabulous place!
We had 2 families with kids (6-8 year olds) and grandparents. We all enjoyed the house, especially the pool and hot tub and all the pool toys! The adults enjoyed the lanai; and the BBQ grill was a plus. There were plenty of things to do on the island that we didn't have enough time to do everything the house has to offer. Next time, we need to stay longer, so that we can enjoy the billiard/room and the large flat screen TV with video games. The house was clean and updated; kitchen was large and spacious for multiple people to prep and cook; even grandpa who's a chef was impressed. Ice maker was a plus; and they had plastic ware for the kids and were placed in a low cabinet for the kids' reach. Both the owner and on-site manager were very responsive to all our questions and needs. We will definitely return! Mahalo, Juan and Yvette!

Plenty of fans to keep the air circulating. The outdoor area, pool and spa were great. It was so nice to have a washer and dryer in the garage to clean our wet beach clothes.

Hawaii Vacation
Our group of 3 couples and 7 kids (ages 7-13) reserved this beautiful house for 6 nights as part of our Hawaiian vacation. The three bedrooms were perfect for the adults, while the kids had no problem crashing in the living room (they didn't want to leave the huge TV anyway). The location was good for seeing the Hilo side of the island, and we loved relaxing in the pool/hot tub after a long day of touring. Also, the kitchen is amazing! The property manager was very responsive when we couldn't figure out how to open the driveway gate to get out. We'd definitely recommend this house to others travelling to the big island looking for a relaxing get-away.

We absolutely loved our time here. If you want a place where all your needs are thought of and provided for prior to your arrival, book this one. Two ice machines to fill the provided cooler for your adventures every day. A beautiful kitchen with all the items you could possibly need if staying home to recover from your hike to green sand beach the day before. I suggest firing up the grill and utilizing the beautiful outdoor lanai next to the pool and hottub whilst plotting for what adventure or hike you seek tomorrow. We couldn't have hoped for a better place or time, only wish it could've lasted a bit longer, no doubt you will feel the same.

Fantastic property!
We had a group of seven including 4 adults and 3 children between the ages of 8-12. From the start, Juan was very responsive and great to work with. We had very high expectations of this property and it did not disappoint.
The property was very clean and well appointed. The checking directions were very easy. Also, Yvette the property manager was very nice and easy to work with. We especially liked that there was laundry detergent, toilet paper and other kitchen items provided, which makes it much easier when renting a place away from home.
The pictures were very accurate and we found the space to be wonderful for the size of our group. We especially loved the outdoor area including the pool, hot tub and outdoor kitchen. The location was great as we were looking for a true Hawaiian experience away from the resorts. One of our favorite things to do was to walk down the street to the cove and watch the waves.
The house was a good location from many attractions in the area, such as downtown Hilo, volcanoes national Park, rainbow falls and akaka falls.
We definitely felt the Aloha and a piece of paradise at this property. I would definitely rent it again!

Excellent property, location and host
Juan and Yvette were responsive and accommodating. The seamlessness at every point made us able to enjoy our first time on the big island right away without concern. The place was as advertised - spacious and clean. We will work with them again on any return trip to the Hilo area.

Wonderful home for a pleasant vacation!
My family and I had a great stay at Villa Parasio. The house had everything we needed for a great stay and plenty of room for everybody. The house was very clean and well kept, and a great outdoor space that everybody was able to enjoy. We found it very conveniently located for exploring the eastern side of the island.

Wonderful house with plenty of space indoors and out
The house is a great place to stay with a large group. The pool and outdoor area is awesome and the fact that you can hear the ocean from there is such a nice bonus. You can walk about 5 minutes to the water. Inside the staircase is really beautiful and there were plenty of amenities like a big tv, games, books, and a billiards table. The indoor kitchen is large and has a sizable ice maker and multiple sinks. There are plenty of fans for the bedrooms to have good airflow since there is no AC. Both the owner and local contact for house are responsive and helpful.
If you need a house for a large group on the east side of the Big Island this is an excellent choice.

Larger than life villa
We had a great stay at Villa Paraiso. The house itself and the grounds are enormous. There was plenty of room for our group to spread out. The interior of the house was in pristine condition, and the landscaping around the house is fabulous. We spent a lot of time by the pool and on the lanai. The kitchen is enormous, which worked out great for cooking. Juan and Yvette were also super responsive throughout the process. Overall, great trip!
