UNIQUE Two story home built over a pond that has both freshwater and saltwater fish plus turtles swimming together. Walk into the pond from the steps on lower level, very unique. Tastefully renovated home. 3 bedrooms/ 3 baths upstairs plus living area, large kitchen and open deck with great views. Downstairs has 2 bedrooms, laundry room with air bed, living area and covered lanai. Open and airy, room for everyone. Four TV's, stereo system, games and card table for family/friends time. Greatest bar-b-q setting in Hilo.

SPACIOUS AND COMFORTABLE:
Classic 2-story Hilo home updated and modernized. High ceilings, lots of windows, spacious and airy. Enter over the bridge, past the banana grove and pineapple field, and up the stone steps to large front porch. Note that this home is not ADA compatible. Enter double glass paned doors into living and dining rooms, with kitchen and office on the sides. Three well appointed bedrooms (one master) and three baths towards back (bayside) of home, with three entries onto large deck with great views of the Ice Pond, framed by mature and fruit-bearing mango, avocado, coconut and banana trees. Truly a tropical delight. Feel free to eat the fruits in season. A very, very enjoyable setting, fantastic for bar-b-q's or just hanging out.

Downstairs is a finished basement built literally over the on-property pond, with the fish swimming right under your feet. Two bedrooms, a laundry room, a gaming area and a boathouse open onto the covered back lanai and backyard. The one downstairs bathroom has an outside access and an outside shower, it is entered from the backyard. Note that access from upstairs to downstairs is at both the front and rear of the house, but it does NOT have interior access.

Within easy walking distance of a dozen restaurants; five bars; four beach parks; Queen Liliuokalani Park & Gardens (30 acres donated by a Queen and the largest Japanese Garden outside of Japan); the 9-hole golf and Frisbee golf Naniloa Golf Course; Moku ola (Coconut Island, accessible via a small pedestrian bridge); and Hilo's three main hotels with shops. About one mile to Hilo International Airport.

This home is in the urban core of Hilo, or at least as urban as Hilo gets. Note that there is some airplane noise from the airport; some road noise from the main street in front of the home; and some ...

This was our 2nd time staying at this beautiful property! Location is GREAT, house is WONDERFUL, and Very CONVENIENT. We absolutely love the older plantation style homes, lots of space for everyone! Richard was very responsive and helpful with allowing us to check in a little earlier. We love ice pond in the back and the yard, with the bbq and a beautiful park thru the back gate. We definitely would be staying here again as we go to Hilo at least twice a year Thank you Richard for your hospitality

Old style plantation house. Very spacious. The decks are great for hanging out. Direct water access with all kinds of water toys available. The koi pond and downstairs is beautiful. The only things that weren’t ideal were that the locks and door handles are old, so you have to make sure you turn the knob back to ensure it’s closed. Not ideal for a 1 year old who was able to push through all the doors, and there were red ants on the koi railings, poles, and some areas downstairs which bit a few of us. But overall amazing. We will be back.

There's alot of positives about this house. Great location, big kitchen. Plenty of bathrooms. Kayaks and paddle board, right on the pond. Downstairs bedrooms were very damp and musty. House could use a good cleaning.

If you read all the reviews, you will have an unferstanding of what you are getting yourself into. We enjoyed the house, the property and the location. At night, the coqui frogs can sound loud. We only heard 2 but we have been on properties were there are 100's. The trucks across the street can be lound also. But ear plugs can fix both of them. The scenery and access to the pond outweighs the noise. We kayaked every day and swam right off the back porch. The house was warm when we entered but quickly cooled off once windows were opened. We didnt use the down stairs rooms but the did smell musty, but that would probably disappear once windows were open. Both down stairs rooms have air conditioning. In conclusion, you are not paying for a high class resort, you are paying for the location and access to the pond and ocean, and because of that i felt it was worth it and would return. Check in/out procedures could have been better, as we didnt receive instructions and had to ask minutes before our arrival.

A wonderful place for our family to get together! Large kitchen, beautiful furniture, great places around the house to hang out. AC kept everyone comfortable. A dip in "Ice Pond" and the use of the kayaks and stand-up paddle board was fun. Loved feeding the large Kois and Turtle. Mahalo for allowing us to stay in your home. Ohana
