Frustrating

The condo was fine. Clean. No water view because the trees have grown and block the ocean. Access to the condo was a nightmare. Contacted Vacasa, as instructed, and got partial instructions. If not for a resident of the building that happened to walk by and saw our frustration that he stopped to give us instructions on how to open the lock. Ran into another couple who had the same problem with Vacasa. They said they had to call Vacasa several times before they received total instructions on how to enter their rental. Never again using Vacasa.

Great location

We found the unit to be well located, clean and well equipped. Didn’t take full advantage of amenities due to rain but look excellent. Check in was difficult due to 10 digit key code not functioning. After over an hour Vacasa gave us a code to and emergency key.

Great location! Keypad to enter and lock condo. Super challenging.

We loved our stay. It was clean and. Great location. Details for check in were great. It would have been nice to have at least salt and pepper already there. Further, the keypad to enter the property took several tries to make it work. Not fun. Low battery? This needs to be addressed ASAP. Otherwise. Loved it. Thanks!

What’s advertised is not what you get.

Unit is not clean, fridge was dead, they had a small bar fridge so obv they knew it wasn’t working. Horrible check-in as we had gone to Costco. VACASA property management really hard to get a hold of. Had to push to get a working fridge. Unit was not clean. Sand on the counters in the bathroom. Beach chairs were old. No cooler so we had to buy one. Absolutely no stock of cooking oils (usually there is some). Unit has a bad smell so you have to keep windows open all the time.

No repeat

Not as comfortable as other units we've stayed in at the same address. Map of parking stall helpful, in rain and dark. Double check entry code- both didn’t work. Utensils greasy, washed everything we used 1st. Patio slider needs service. Master B/R blinds not acceptable. No instructions for TV. Fridge doesn't work. Replacement mini fridge leaks. Extra kitchen towels helpful. Location great if you want peace & quiet, right on water. We'll return again, but not to this unit. Property Mgt needs to upgrade unit owner's responsibility to his guests.

Really enjoyed Emerald Key 203! Sat on the balcony and watched the dolfins while we drank our coffee and took photos of great sunrises and sunsets!! We met super nice people and enjoyed how quiet it was. We would rent this condo again and again!!! We did a lot of cooking and would suggest some new frying pans.

Good location by a swimming beach and tidepools.

This was a perfect base for our week-long stay in Hilo. Was clean and everything worked in the unit. We enjoyed looking down at the ocean tide pools and "jungle" from our deck and windows. The pool was clean and fun for our 7-year-old daughter. We didn't get much communication from the management company until a couple days prior to our arrival, but then there was a flury of info from them.
