Photos and Description of the Hilo vacation house rental
1 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom, Sleeps 2

Aloha and welcome to Mika Mizu, serenity in Hilo. Here you will experience a unique and memorable Hawaiian vacation. Mika Mizu is a spacious one bedroom cottage. We suggest 2 guests but it will accommodate up to 3. This beautiful cottage is located in a soothing and natural setting on an estate with two waterfalls and abundant flora and fauna. It is less than one mile to historic downtown Hilo, yet you feel far removed. The cottage is stocked with amenities such as spices and cooking staples in an efficiency kitchen with a full size refrigerator, a built-in 2-burner stovetop, a microwave/convection oven, a toaster and a gas BBQ grill for outdoor cooking. Also provided are both high speed internet/WiFi and cable TV. It has been tastefully furnished in a casually elegant style, creating a very congenial ambiance for your comfort and enjoyment. At these extremely low rates, you will be amazed at this wonderful vacation find.

Note: Mika Mizu is not appropriate for children under 8 years

About Jamie Phillips

The picture says it all - we are happy to have a wonderful home in Hawaii, and we love the Big Island, its many sights and its friendly people..

Why Jamie Phillips chose Hilo

Hilo gives one the chance to get a feel of the "real Hawaii." The Farmers' Market in town is a riot of color from the many exotic fruits and flowers. There's just a special feeling one comes away with after exploring this unique area.

100% Happy Review

5 of 5
Submitted: May 5, 2013 Stayed: May 2013
Excellent accommodations! We had stayed in another VRBO place in Kona to soak up the sun and waves before heading to Hilo. The Kona location was nice but the condition and feel was no way close to the "at paradise" feeling Mika had. The rain on the roof with the wonderful music Mother Nature created nightly was priceless! Location to waterfalls, parks, museums, and attractions (like lava flow) was a real plus.

Great condition!
Super clean!
Extra nice accessories (flashlights-used for our 9 mile hike to watch lava, binoculars - to watch all the amazing birds right outside the front yard & the lava), and nail polish remover!
Super soft linen (bed, bath and beach)
Great ceiling fans- who needs or would want AC?

Wished We Had Stayed Longer

Submitted: March 18, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
After we left the lovely Mika Mizu, Dick and I spent three wweeks at Kona. We now wished we had spent more time at Mika Mizu, even though the weather was a bit better in Kona. We rented a very nice condo in Kona within a 10 minute walk into town, however it did not have the same "feel" as Mika Mizu. After talking about the differences we decided that Mika Mizu had the "Aloha Spirit" while the Kona condo did not. when our firends and family ask about our vacation, we immediately talk about Mika Mizu. If we travel to the Big Island again, we will definitely book with you.

How easy it is to give a 5 star rating for Mika Mizu! My husband and I vacationed here for a week and the whole experience was fantastic. Hosts Jamie and Noi went out of their way to ensure that our stay would be memorable. From providing countless valuable tips for our visit to surprising us with a lovely welcome basket upon arrival; the hospitality and care we received made this our all-time favorite rental experience! The cottage itself is a well-appointed oasis, surrounded by beautiful, lush rainforest. The setting is nothing short of magical. Morning coffee on the large lanai was a perfect way to start the day and we truly enjoyed returning after a day of exploring. Relaxing to the soothing night song of the jungle is one of our favorite memories! Thanks again to Jamie and Noi for sharing this precious gem with us and mahalo to caretaker Adan, who made sure our stay was as comfortable as possible!!!

OMG perfect!

We've been staying at VRBO's around this diverse big island thos past week and must say when we opened the front door and looked through the casually elegant living area to the expansive deck overlooking the tropical ravine, plus heard the jungle sounds of waterfall, frogs and birds, we both turned and looked at each other with our mouths open! It is indeed a wee bit of paradise...from the convection oven and crystal to the Egyptian cotton and well-stocked pantry! The Prosecco gift basket was a lovely generous act of kindness, so appreciated after a long flight and drive, thank you! The comfortable and thoughtful decor is good contemporary, Asian influenced design that lends itself to serenity and peacefulness. The 4 sweet kitties also stole our hearts and seemed grateful for the cat food we discovered and that we left each day. Every need was anticipated...the dressing area was lovely, kitchen bright and really well appointed, and the bed and pullows ultra divine. The waterfall below was enticing but the weather we had was wet and cool so we just hibernated and loved it. The Wed farmers market was the best we've ever been to, organic and reasonable! Crafts across the road were interesting and the fish market was a bonus. Mahi Mahi tempura on a stick around the back was a treat! The owners must be congratulated for offering unique Mika vacation homes that are just ideal. And when we complained about the wifi being down, they handled it immediately. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Honeymoon Experience

5 of 5
Submitted: December 18, 2012 Stayed: December 2012
My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights of our honeymoon, and we loved it. All of the pictures are accurate and you find much more that you didn't expect. The condo is so well-stocked that we didn't have to buy much beyond our main ingredients in order to make a nice meal at the house. We enjoyed keeping all the windows open and feeling like we were in the jungle, with all the amenities of a being inside a beautiful home. The shower looking out into the jungle was one of my favorite things, as well as the lanai. It was hard to leave the morning sun on the deck in the morning to head out on the adventures we planned. The owners are also excellent to work with. If we ever make it back to the Big Island, we will definitely try to book this condo again.
