Hilo Ocean View 2-Unit Vacation Retreat

Very unique property—like staying at a private resort, this listing is for TWO units on the same property with separate entrances. Located within minutes from downtown HIlo in a very quiet neighborhood, a short walk to a surfing beach and swimming river park… it’s everything for a group getaway.

Both upstairs and downstairs have full ocean views, with relaxing lanai furniture. Full kitchens in both units, washer and dryer on site… with stocked amenities.

A 3-minute walk takes you to watch surfers at Honoli'i Beach or to jump in the adjoining river for a refreshing swim. Explore the Big Island from the convenience of Hilo, or treat your stay like a resort vacation with the swimming pool just steps from your door.

The upstairs is airy and grand with unending ocean views; the downstairs is a more modest but also spacious fully stocked unit.

Together there are 3 bedrooms and 2 sofabeds.

Kitchens: Full-sized appliances, microwave and toaster oven, garbage disposal. Amenities and supplies cover basic needs, and we can also help with special requests if you can give us advance notice.

Living rooms: Each with a sofabed that sleeps two, 55-inch TV with digital channels (Spectrum) and internet connection to let you sign-in to your streaming services.

Dining area: Comfortably seats 4, as well as a breakfast counter in kitchen, and remote-controlled fan/light.

Lanai (porch): seats that look to the pool or ocean.

Pool: remodeled in October 2021, has a bahama (seating in shallow water) area and plenty of poolside lounging areas. Guests are given priority and exclusive use of pool (not shared while guests present).

Yard: very expansive grassy yard with unblocked ocean views. Guests are given priority and exclusive use of pool (not shared while guests present).

We provide linen (including beach towels), basic bathroom amenities, and can provide a pack-n-play, high chair or bbq grill upon request. Parking is available in our gated driveway that we share with our guests. We do recommend a local car rental company if you plan to explore the Big Island (they aren't kidding when they say big).

We encourage guests to research and expect that we live on the ocean in a tropical climate--Hilo is the more humid side of Big Island, which we love for the soft air, but can mean more rainfall. Birds, geckos and insects are common and will occasionally sneak close to the house. Though they are harmless, we take great pains to keep our house pest-free and pride ourselves on keeping a clean home. Coqui frogs are now a characteristic of HIlo, they are never seen but gently sing every night for a few hours starting at dusk. and every day is a chance to watch the sun start a new day if you want to wake up that early!
