About this property

Experience a side of Hawaiʻi few visitors get to call their own from your private oceanfront ʻohana with its own entrance. Thoughtfully designed by an interior designer, it's a beautiful, comfortable place to settle into island life. Wake to sunrise over the Pacific, sip coffee to waves crashing below the cliffs, and walk to the beach without leaving the neighborhood. Minutes from downtown Hilo and perfectly positioned for Big Island adventures.

We're here to help! Whether it's through messaging, texting, email or a phone call.

The Neighborhood

Honoli‘i is one of Hilo’s favorite neighborhoods. Perched along Hilo’s scenic coastline, this home offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful residential setting with dramatic Pacific Ocean views, a 4-minute walk to the beach, and downtown Hilo just minutes away. Wake to the sound of waves below the cliff, then spend your day exploring local cafés, farmers markets, waterfalls, the volcano and beautiful beaches before returning home to your own peaceful slice of the Pacific.

The full bathroom is stocked with soft waffle-weave towels and everyday essentials to make mornings and evenings effortless.

✨Kitchen + Living Area

The open living space is framed by sweeping views of the Pacific and Hilo Bay, with expansive glass doors and oversized windows that blur the line between indoors and out.

The living room pairs comfortable modern furnishings with curated original artwork, abundant natural light, and spectacular ocean vistas. During Hawaiʻi's winter whale season, you may even spot humpbacks passing offshore.

As evening falls, settle in with a glass of something cold, watch the changing colors over the Pacific, or curl up for a movie on the Smart TV after another unforgettable Big Island day.

✨Work + WiFi

Need to mix a little work with island time? High-speed fiber internet and a dedicated workspace make it easy to stay connected without sacrificing the view. Take a video call, tackle a creative project, or map out tomorrow's waterfalls, beaches, and volcano adventures from your own peaceful corner of Hilo.

✨The Feeling

This isn't a generic vacation rental. It's a thoughtfully designed cliffside retreat built around one of Hawaiʻi Island's most captivating backdrops.

Perched above the Pacific with unobstructed sunrise views, it's a place where mornings begin with the sound of waves below and the sun rising over the water. Walk down to Honoliʻi to watch the surfers, spend the day exploring waterfalls and volcanoes, then come home to your own quiet perch above the sea.

It's a place to slow down, reconnect, and experience the greener, quieter, more soulful side of the Big Island
