Nathan Lee Parada, 31, was convicted of first-degree attempted residential burglary and faces up to three years in prison when he is sentenced on June 29, said a district attorney's spokeswoman.
Hilton testified about her and her boyfriend being awoken early on August 24 after Parada banged on one of her windows with the butt of a knife.
Her boyfriend, Cy Waits, detained Parada at gunpoint until police arrived. While being interviewed by detectives, Parada said he wanted to steal as much as he could from the house and planned to move to a deserted island after the burglary, according to testimony in the case.
A defence attorney told jurors that Parada had left a halfway house days earlier and had not taken his antidepressant medication for several days.
