Rental Details

Property Overview

WHY STAY ANYWHERE ELSE IN HILO BUT CLOSE TO BEACHES AND OCEAN WHERE THE WEATHER IS BEST!!!

WE'RE EXCITED TO NOW PROVIDE GUESTS WITH THE COMFORT OF A NEWLY INSTALLED SPLIT AC SYSTEM!!
Our islands have been experiencing the warmest and most humid weather we have had in years and while some guests prefer the tropical breezes by keeping windows and doors open with ceiling fans going, we realize some guests prefer and need the comfort of AC. In trying to make every guests stay the best, we have installed a new split AC system in both the upstairs and downstairs living areas and all bedrooms throughout the beach house.

Although our beach home is located a few minutes from downtown Hilo it is nestled away from traffic close to a quiet and secluded ocean cove. It provides an ideal location for visitors looking to visit all the sites on the east side of the island. The home is 5-8 minutes from the airport, shopping, restaurants, and Hilo’s popular Downtown Farmer's Market. The Hawaii Volcano National Park and waterfalls along the Hamakua coast are a 30 to 40 minute drive away. The world famous Arnotts’ Tours to the Volcano, Mauna Kea, and other famous vacation sites are less than a five minute walk from the home.

Our beach home is also a few steps away from the ocean and beach where guests can enjoy just lounging in the sun or swimming. Many of our guests enjoy exploring the ocean where they see turtles feeding along the cliffs and dolphins playing further out in the open ocean. A few minutes driving down the road there is a popular beach park Richardson's where guests also enjoy snorkeling, boogie boarding, and swimming.

Our three bedroom three bath home is ideal for multiple couples or families with older children and grandparents traveling together.. It is a few steps from an ocean cove where you can explore tide pools, see turtles, dolphins, and whales or enjoy a morning or evening swim or stroll.
Families enjoy having morning and early evening meals on the upstairs large balcony overlooking the garden. There is also another large outdoor patio for dining, grilling, or just relaxing while listening to the sounds of the ocean.

The upstairs one bedroom unit provides a queen bed and a queen futon sofa sleeper, full bath, full kitchen, two living areas, wifi, open balcony, newly installed bedroom and living area AC's, and private parking. There is also a smaller lanai that can be exited from the bedroom.
The two bedroom one bath downstairs unit has a full shower bath, kitchen, dining and living area, and newly installed bedroom and living room AC. This is ideal for families with older kids, multiple couples, or grandparents who need extra sleeping, dining, bathroom, and relaxing accommodations.

Our beach home consists of two separate units. There is no indoor stair access between the upstairs and downstairs units. Each unit has separate entrances, kitchens, living/dining areas, and patios. For families with younger children that need nightly supervision the separate downstairs unit would not be appropriate and adult supervision at night would be needed.

Wonderful Hawaiian house in a great location. Walk a couple of minutes to the water! Convenient to sites, restaurants/food, downtown, airport (but NO airport noise) but tucked away with a beautiful private yard to relax in. House was very clean with nice Hawaiian decor - the perfect set up for us and our adult kids. Well stocked with the basics - very comfortable. Loved having breakfast on the lanai. Great place to spend some time in Hilo and the Big Island.

Our family really enjoyed our Hilo stay. The property is in a quiet neighborhood close to the water and a 5 minute drive into Hilo. We were impressed with the condition and efficiency of the home. Everything we needed (and more!) was available in the home, plus beach gear outside. We’ll be back!

The house and studio worked out perfectly for our family trip to attend our daughter's graduation from UH Hilo. The separate studio unit allowed grandparents a place to relax in while the younger adults utilized the gazebo. The outside bathroom and shower were super convenient when returning from the beach. This is our second time staying at this vrbo and would definitely book it again!

The house is lovely: immaculate, comfortable, quiet, and very thoughtfully appointed. The owners have thought of every detail, and we were even greeted with fresh flowers and a welcome basket. The outside space is fabulous, and the home is right down the street from a small beach. Highly recommended!

The house was super clean and I am super picky about cleanliness. The beds were comfortable and the owner was nice enough to leave cookies and rainbow bread for our arrival. It is small—but it was fine for 3 nights to see the sights in Hilo and Volcanos National Park. The upstairs unit is a separate apartment with a separate entrance. My 18 year old daughter stayed there and it was nice so we could have our own space. House is close to everything in Hilo but tucked away to feel private. It was about 40 minutes from Volcanos National Park.
