Our Tropical Retreat Guest House is a luxurious 1 bedroom, 1 full bath resort-style guest house located in one of Hilo’s premier subdivisions. Our guest house is truly a tropical paradise with a very spacious living area. The guest house opens up to a beautiful manicured tropical garden on over an acre of lush tropical gardens with numerous fruit trees, and indigenous plants found only in Hawaii.
The guest house is equipped with an air-conditioned, uncommon for vacation rentals in the area, and full-size shower-tub. The property also features a fully equipped kitchen (including gas stove with electric oven, rice cooker, blender, air fryer, toaster, coffee maker, washer and dryer, cooking utensils, drinkable filtered water system, etc), a queen size pull out sofa bed, house phone, high-speed internet, and a 50” LCD High Definition TV with Hulu live TV, Hulu on demand, ESPN, Disney+, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. The living room TV is also connected to a High Definition Surround Sound System, BlueRay player, and a Nintendo Wii Console. The 32” LCD TV in the bedroom is equipped with Hulu live TV, Hulu on demand, ESPN, Disney+, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. The guest house is also equipped with smart locks, smart smoke/carbon monoxide detector, fire extinguish, baby proof outlet covers (available when needed), and recycling station. Finally, for guest traveling with babies and infants, we offer a clean and extremely well maintained Pack-N-Play and high chair.
The guest house has its own private gated driveway, parking, and it is protected with 24/7 security monitoring for the protection of our guest and our property (there are no cameras inside the guest house or on the private back yard).
When in season, trees are loaded with bananas, Kau orange, lemon, loquat, mountain apple, coconut, tangelo, rambutan, lychee, mac nut, lime, star fruit, tangerine, breadfruit, avocado, grapefruit, and more. Not to mention a large variety of beautiful palms (Royal, Fan, Rica, Foxtail), tropical plants, and flowers. There is a screened garden house with a table and chairs in the middle of the garden for guests to enjoy a relaxing fresh air snack. The guest house is located on a gated property approximately three miles from downtown Hilo. It's more than a beautiful place to stay, it’s a lifestyle. You'll experience charming “Old Hawaii” where life is slow and easy. Our property allows you to relax in style or pursue a variety of adventures right outside. Amenities include a secluded beautiful outdoor garden. The landscaped grounds and naturalistic setting capture the tranquility and beauty of the islands where travelers can relax and experience the true Hawaii where the locals live.
Your host resides just a couple minutes up the road, and can be available in person at anytime when requested. Your host will be happy to answer questions you may have, assist you with any special needs and help you plan your stay. Your host is also happy in sharing tips on where to visit, how to get there, where to lunch and favorite local dining spots.
The property is within walking distance to a very picturesque area of East Hawaii surrounded by streams, waterfalls and off a quiet street perfect for walking or jogging. A private serene opens up to views of the garden below for ultimate relaxation. Our Retreat is a perfect Hawaiian getaway for couples celebrating their special occasion and is centrally located making it an ideal home...

We loved the cleanliness and layout of the space. Plenty of outside area to explore, private entry, and fantastic response when we contacted the host.

It’s all you need and more in a very quiet and convenient location. I will stay there again if applicable when we come back to Hilo. Perfect location in an amazing part of Hawaii.

Lovely little guest house in a safe and well kept neighborhood ten minutes from downtown Hilo. Our host Raul was readily available to answer any questions. The property is very secure with a combination operated gate, although there was no indication that it was necessary. The property was clean and comfortable, and one could easily prepare meals there (we did) if tired of eating out (we were). We would stay here again. It’s the perfect size for a couple.

As usual Raul's rental was very clean and secure. Unfortunately we happened to be there when there was a huge storm that brought down many trees on the roads. No power for 6 hours but Raul brought over flashlights so we could see our way around. No Internet until after our stay ended. Raul offered to move us to another of his rentals which had internet.

The property was amazing! The place was immaculate and looked brand new. The host provided everything we would need along with details about local restaurants and tourist sites. It was perfect for us. You’ll need a car as it’s not walkable to the things you’ll want to see and do but getting around is easy.

This was the nicest place we ever rented. The bed was so comfortable. The kitchen was so well stocked. The linens were so comfortable; the towels are plush! We had lots of room to spread out, unlike a hotel. They even have an orange and avocado tree in the back yard. We would definitely stay here again. The hosts were amazing to work with. I hate to leave.

Raul’s property was immaculate, extremely comfortable, and amazingly well equipped. He has thought of EVERYTHING a traveler could possibly need. The reference materials were very helpful, and the location was perfect for visiting waterfalls and exploring Hilo. I can’t recommend this property enough. I would definitely stay here again if available on a future visit to Hilo.
