The house is beautiful and was perfect for our family, the newlyweds got the room with the seperate entrance and the 4 of us slept on the main floor. Everything we could have needed was provided and we left some extra water shoes and snorkel gear for future renters. Coming from the AZ dry heat it did take a night to acclimate to not having AC in the house but after that we had no problems and really enjoyed the breeze from open windows. The cats would come by often and were well loved by our kids.
We will gladly rent from you again! Thank you Richard!

We loved the location of this property. Walking across the street to snorkel at Richardson was wonderful. We enjoyed the ocean breezes inside and also spent time outside on the deck with its great view of the ocean.
The two cats were welcome (outside!). One night they received a treat of leftover Ono fish from the Hilo Bay Cafe. We now have cat friends for life!

A deep clean of the full place should be done. The inside of the kitchen cupboards were not clean. The screen door to the deck should be replaced as you had to fight to open & close it. Needs some TLC.

Surfrider house is exactly as advertised. Clean bedrooms and comfortable beds, and excellent access to Richardsons Beach as well as within walking distance to other amazing parks along the road. The owner is quick to respond to any inquiries, and accommodated both our early arrival and late departure. The clean kitchen and clean bathrooms are stocked with everything you need. Did I mention this place is clean?! (Kudos to the housekeeping staff!!) Note the second bathroom and third bedroom are a separate entrance, not connected to the main living area. It was an added layer of privacy! We absolutely appreciated the well-stocked snorkel gear, booties, beach chairs & toys. So many positives about this sweet place! Perhaps my favorite was the ease of check out…“feel free to start a load of towels, or don’t. This is your vacation after all!”

Very much enjoyed this house. Especially loved sitting on the lanai looking at the lush foliage and the ocean and listening to the frogs which we thought were birds. Just lovely.

Photos and description were misleading; furniture throughout was different than pictured, kitchen/dining room floor plan changed. The Surf Rider has potential but is MAJORLY lacking in its current state. The worst problem was cleanliness. We were asked to take off our shoes when entering; however, our feet were filthy after walking around inside the house. Fans were caked with filth and it was horrible under the beds. Several windows could not close. Blinds in basement bedroom were dirty and broken. No TV in basement. Prior updates/repairs were very poorly done. Sliding doors were rusty and difficult to open/close. Lighting poor. NO SMOKE DECTORS ANYWHERE ON MAIN FLOOR! Location across from Richardson's Beach was convenient. Would NOT stay here again.

Our family of 6 adults stayed at the Surf Rider house across from Richardson's Beach Park and had the trip of a lifetime. The house was clean, had everything we needed, and was very comfortable for our group. The house was the perfect place from which to explore the east side of the island, and we took several scenic drives, ate at great restaurants, went to Pahoa, and to VNP. But the best part was watching the waves and whales from the porch. A week wasn't long enough, and we hope to return soon. Richard was an excellent host!

This house is in a stellar location with the captivating view of the ocean. And the home is well-appointed (everything you can think of, and more) with any item you’ll need or want.
The large kitchen is beautiful and easy for more than one person to be in there. And it has a gas stove, with quality pots & pans! We loved being able to cook and eat on the patio overlooking the ocean.
We encountered a small issue and Richard quickly responded and instructed us how to resolve it.
The washer and dryer on premises was such a blessing! And all supplies were neatly provided (detergent, basket, etc).
The beds were comfortable and the location was so quiet. It’s a gem. We still dream of our stay at this house!
Our stay was very comfortable and smooth.
It felt like we were borrowing a good friend’s house!
Thanks Richard!
