Escape to a charming traditional Hawaiian home, elevated on post and pier for enhanced airflow and privacy. This unique blend of classic architecture and mid-century design features an open-concept great room, complete with a sunken living area, dining space, and kitchen, all adorned with stunning vaulted wood ceilings.
The spacious primary bedroom invites you to unwind on a luxurious king-size bed, complete with a private en-suite bathroom featuring a shower. Enjoy the convenience of a double closet, TV with Chromecast, and a dedicated workspace. Step out onto your private balcony to take in breathtaking views of the sunken garden, highlighted by terraced lava stone walls and lush tropical fruit trees.
The second bedroom is equally inviting, featuring a California king bed, TV, and ample storage. The spacious second bathroom includes a full-size tub and is stocked with complimentary toiletries, a hairdryer, and beach towels for your adventures.
Gather in the sunken living room, designed for relaxation and entertainment, with comfortable seating for six and a sleeper sofa that accommodates two. Oversized windows frame picturesque views of the vibrant gardens, making it a perfect spot for movie nights or cozy conversations.
Cook up a feast in the fully equipped kitchen, seamlessly integrated into the great room. It features a full-size refrigerator, electric range, double sink, microwave, toaster oven, and coffee station—all the essentials for culinary creations. We even collect organic waste for off-site composting in our lovely garden.
Embrace the spirit of outdoor living in the spacious carport, which doubles as a dining area, laundry space, and gathering spot. With a dining table for six, washer and dryer, and a clothesline, you’ll have everything you need right at your fingertips.
This home has been thoughtfully updated with new paint, doors, flooring, and fans, ensuring a fresh and inviting atmosphere. While you may spot the occasional friendly insect—an endearing part of island life—the home is professionally treated for your comfort.

Loved our stay!
Down n dirty
Wins
Location , park like yard, en-suite, dishwasher, big main bath, so many extra outside beach gear, high end comfy bed, option for air (not needed, see below), privacy, labeled lights/remotes
Opportunities
Washer 10$/load, should be listed so renters don’t count on using it
Updated toaster oven
Labeling cupboards/drawers
Cooler, ice packs
4 ⭐️ for cleaning, was fine but not up to our normal standards
Hubby n I flew in to Kona so we had to drive across the island & hence We checked in very late in the dark but thankfully the car port was light up and made it easier to find (since Google stops you next door!).
At first we were concerned that the air wasn’t on and everything was open but we soon found out air was not needed. The fresh air and cool breeze was perfect with the ceiling fan.
The master bed n pillows were so comfy. The small porch off the master was great to sit on and enjoy coffee and the beautiful yard. We loved the beautiful vibrant colored geckos who came to visit us on the porch and we wanted to tape the frogs so we could play it all night at home! So peaceful.
The place is definitely big enough for 2 couples or family of 4.n Plenty of seating and large bathroom n shower with good pressure.
Neighborhood was quiet and it was perfect location for us because we wanted to see the volcano park and the Hilo attractions and it was smack in the middle. Gas n groceries nearby.
Host very responsive n helpful.

After spending 10 days in the business of Oahu, this was the perfect, most peaceful house to relax at. My only regret is we didn't get to stay longer. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and the living room has a comfortable sleeper sofa as well. Check-in and house instructions were clear and the entire property was beautiful. The house is also located in a quiet neighborhood away from busy streets. This is a great house for families and we hope it's available next time we're back on the Big Island! Thank you!

Loved having space to spread out in this home. Being from Texas we enjoyed the opportunity to sleep with windows open (the house has an A/C unit) but we opted for the natural breeze. We miss the coqui frogs serenading us to sleep and loved them so much we recorded them! Arthur was great with communication and even made it possible for us to check in early. It was an easy drive to Hilo, the Volcanoes National Park and Mauna Kea. We even drove down to Punalu’u black sand beach and South Point. Would definitely stay there again!

Great place equipped with everything we needed for our short stay in the area. Loved looking out the windows at the lush vegetation. Conveniently located in between Hilo and Volcano and bear other local places to eat.

Great home for us to use for 2 nights (family of 4 with 2 teenage kids). Windows open the whole time we were there (70's to 80's). Great beach amenities for us to use in the garage. Appreciated Arthur chatting with us one morning and offering us some ideas to see locally and sharing tropical fruits from his trees. Hiked to Shipman's Beach (about a 2.5 mile hike one way and tough terrain) but worth it as we saw turtles swimming in the lagoon and one was up near us on the beach.
Noticed the home was a little musty when we first arrived and some dusty windows and cobwebs. Not a deterrent at all but that's why we gave a 4/5 on cleanliness.
