Aloha!
We are Keone and Yonnell Farias. We were both born and raised here on this wonderful island. We welcome you to our beautiful new 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!
Waiākea Uka is translated as "the mountainside" of Waiākea. There are beautiful views of both Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa mountain. The University of Hawaii at Hilo is located in the Waiākea district as well. There are parks and convenience stores within walking distance to the house but a car would be more suitable.
Our house is your home away from home.
We want you to feel at home during your stay. We also respect your privacy. The keypad entry allows you to come and go at your convenience. We live nearby and are only a call or text away for any questions, suggestions, and housekeeping needs you may have.

Beautiful home, centrally located to everything we wanted to see/do on the east side of the big island. No AC was not a problem as long as windows were open and fans were going. Only had to shut them all the first night after a rain as the frogs were out in abundance! Other nights were fine. Washer/dryer and other amenities were very useful.
Enjoyed the fresh eggs from the chickens in the coop as well as the snack package you left us. Thanks!

Our family was here for a memorial service and arrived from Georgia, Ohio, Washington DC and Maine (7 adults). UhiWai was the perfect gathering spot for us. We were warmly welcomed by Yonnell and Keone and their home was comfortable with room to spread out. Every possible amenity was thought of and provided. I would happily return.

You have a very beautiful home. Love the cool air and the location was near everything I needed especially eateries and family. Definitely highly recommending to family and friends. If anything, we would love to come back!

The property is a great little place located in a middle class neighborhood. The location was perfect for all the things we wanted to do on the Hilo side of the Big Island. Volcano National Park and lots of other hiking trails are within a 30 minute drive. There are several beaches/lagoons in close proximity which provide swimming and snorkeling opportunities. This place has all the amenities we needed. There is no AC which made some us a little nervous at first because you’ll want to keep the windows open at night to get the cool breeze, but we ended up liking it because you get to hear the frogs at night and the roosters in the morning which made us feel more connected to the area. We loved Hilo!

Good location to take advantage of the Hilo area and the east side of the Big Island. Very clean and safe. Beautiful home. Had just about everything we needed during our stay. We would stay here again, book with confidence. Left us a nice welcome package and included a dozen fresh eggs. Very much appreciated. One little thing, there is a gas grill, but if you use it there is an additional cleaning fee. That should have been disclosed in the property description.

My wife and I stayed to attend our daughter’s graduation from UH. The location was perfect, close to everything you need. The house was clean with an open concept. Everything you needed for a perfect stay was provided! Great communication with the owner, what more could one ask for. Mahalo!!!

Property is in a very quiet residential neighborhood a ten minute drive from downtown. Kitchen was well equipped and the owners left us a dozen fresh eggs from the coop behind the house.
House was clean and comfortable and you enter through the garage with a clicker so no need for keys or memorizing entry numbers.
Overall a nice place.

We had an amazing time in Hilo staying at this lovely house that exceeded our expectations. The house was equipped with fantastic amenities, making our family feel right at home. The kitchen had everything we needed, the living room was cozy, and the bedrooms were spacious and well-appointed.
The location of the house was perfect – a peaceful neighborhood close to Hilo's attractions. We could easily explore the town and enjoy its natural beauty.
The property management team was responsive and accommodating, making our experience even better. Overall, we highly recommend this house for a comfortable and convenient stay in Hilo. It truly felt like a home away from home, and we left with wonderful memories of our time in Hawaii.

It was a perfect location, as it was just minutes away from our conference location, eating locations, open market and shopping. The home accommodated 6 adult women with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Beautiful setting, very open for the beautiful scenery out the windows in the dining room, kitchen, living room and both bedrooms on the back of the home, with fresh and cool breezes, we were able to sit in the dining room and enjoy each other's company. Definitely a keeper.
