Aloha! We are Keone and Yonnell Farias. We were both born and raised here on this wonderful island. We welcome you to our beautiful re-done 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!
Like the house we grew up in..3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, open living room, nostalgic family room, kitchenopens to the dining room, huge yard with fruit trees, and beautiful local garden. A flag lot off one of Hilo's main streets leaves easy access yet privacy for your getaway.
There is a nice story behind Maunaleo, Keone would run pass this home from teen years to adulthood, he would always admire the fruit trees in the yard. One day a year ago, he saw it was for sale. We quickly called the realtor and put in a bid for it. We were blessed to get it. For a year we called it our new, old house, our work in progress. We talked to many of the neighbors who gave us the history of the place, we decided to keep some its nostalgic beauty. We put a lot of love, a lot of hard, long workdays, and it finally got to where it is. Now we'd like to share it with you!
We're sad to add this to our message to guests but care about your security and hard-earned money: We are a legally registered property, all bookings are only done on rental sites, we would not solicit through social media messaging. Please do not book or send money through them.

    This property immediately gives you a sense of HOME upon walking in. Our family lives in Kona and we often travel to Hilo for the drag racing as my daughter races. This labor day weekend was a jammed packed 3 day racing event and the hotel prizes were OUTRAGEOUS!! Having the opportunity to stay at this property made our stay less stressful with the comforts of a home, we were able to cook and being conveniently close to downtown made it EXTRA sweet!! Already looking to book the next race with a stay here!! Mahalo to Keone and Yonnell who both were amazing with communication!

    Such a lovely home located close to shopping and restaurants. Large bedrooms enough to accommodate my family of 5 adults more space if needed. The home was very clean, the kitchen well equipped. We liked the covered vehicle carport. A plus on a rainy day. The host communicated well answering questions and concerns. We would stay here again in the future.

    Absolutely great home away from home! Fully functional home with amenities. Beautiful property with citrus trees, lots of chirpy frogs, and great access to all of Hilo. No air conditioning, but there are tons of windows and the cross breeze is so pleasant. Being in a neighborhood, there are quiet times which is so nice!

    The home was in a quiet neighborhood. Having all of the “extras” like a cooler, ice packs, cooking equipment, beach chairs, comfortable beds and the large living room space made it an enjoyable stay!

    Wonderful and comfortable home with good vibes. It was very rainy one of the days we were in Hilo and it was great to have a spacious place to hang out, play board games, watch a movie and chill.

    We enjoyed our stay here. The backyard is large enough for the kids to run around and see around. They enjoyed pick up fruits and eating it. The house is well maintained with all types of tools provided. I really appreciate the small stool offered, just like the one we have at home. That allowed my young daughter to reach to higher space/areas as she does at home without calling for lift all the times. The house is very spacious. My old one enjoyed reading quietly in the sun room by himself without being interrupted.The location is great, too. Close to the downtown and the rainbow falls, but very quiet most of time. The owner is nice and quick in reply messages. We also appreciate the welcome bag full of special Hilo snacks.

    Thank you Yonelle and Keone for welcoming us into your house! It was the perfect location, close to town, beaches and UH Hilo to visit our daughter! Super clean & comfortable. They expressed concern with people picking form their beautiful mango tree, which we completely understood, but they were so generous to bring us fresh sliced mango! Our kids were so happy! Yonelle gave us different ideas of things to do on the island, and everyone had a great time. -They had everything we needed, from kitchen condiments to beach chairs and coolers. Definitely hoping to come back again soon. Thank you so much!

    We enjoyed the accommodations! It worked well for our two night trip to explore the Volcano National Park and the town of Hilo. Everything was as stated. Thank you for opening up your home to us. We would definitely stay again if in the area. Mahalo
