    This extraordinary property is across the street from the most beautiful beaches in Hilo. This property, with multiple Ka Wai Ola, (Living Springs) offers you all that Hawaii Island has to offer. Once only a place for Hawaii's royalty, we offer this very special property with historical and cultural significance. Beautiful ocean, offering wonderful views and the sweet sound of waves breaking on the rocks. The pristine ponds on the property rise and fall with the tide where you can swim and lounge in privacy.

    Newly remodeled, and renovated, designed by Keala Wolf, and maintaining the look and feel of the "old Hawaii", there's no better place to experience what it means to be part of the Hawaiian culture. Immerse yourself in a magical place, and find the peace only available by the ocean in Leleiwi on Hawaii island.

    The Nature Conservancy along with the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and the University of Hawaii at Hilo are conducting a global climate study at this very special property.

    A new security system looks out onto the grounds and street beyond. No cameras see the house or lanai.

    The house has an unusual configuration. The back two bedrooms, each with their own bathroom and A/C, are accessed from the covered lanai, and therefore have their own entrances. Tweens and teenagers love it, but it might be inappropriate for small children.

    We loved this property!! It was very clean and very well stocked and it was ideal for our group. We were a group of 6 adults and the set up was perfect. Two people per bedroom with plenty of gathering space inside and out. We took advantage of the proximity to the beach park and swam there everyday after exploring other sites in Hilo. I would highly recommend this property and I would love to stay there again!

    This location exceeded my expectations . I loved the layout, as did my adult children. It is ideally situations and close to downtown. However, it was the ocean, and the beauty and the peaceful porch I will remember. Thank you for the beach towel use, and being across from the best beach- very rocky wear water socks, but still best around.

    We made ourselves at home quickly here and really didn’t want to leave. The ponds were ever changing and fun to explore. Just across the street is paradise and perfectly picturesque. Enjoy the walk either way down the coast. The lanai was perfect all day and night to relax on. The house had everything we needed. We’ll be back. Hilo has so much to offer.

    We loved having the beach across the street. Sunrise out on the rocks. Fish and frogs and geckos greeted us. And the A/C was wonderful.

    Peaceful, quiet area, clean and cool property (literally and descriptively!) with separate AC controls in each of the 3 bedrooms. Bathrooms were amazing!! Loved the pond with fish and all of the outdoor spaces. Very easy drive to Hilo and great nearby restaurants - Seaside was wonderful!! Ocean access just across the street at 3 different public parks. Area felt very safe.

    Rain or shine the place to be in Hawai’i is a Lanai facing the ocean and the house Keaukaha in Hilo fits the bill. The house is a tastefully remodeled historic plantation house, although we only used it to sleep and cook. The beds are very comfortable, and the large showers invigorating. We spent the majority of our time in the fresh air of the Lanai and the parks across the street. From the comfort of the Lanai we viewed 3 species of Hawaiian endemic birds: the Nene - more beautiful than I imagined, ‘i’o - Hawaiian hawk carrying a large branch in her talons over the driveway and into the backyard, and the male ‘Aku’u (black crowned night heron) in his breeding plumage impersonating a statue. But my grandsons will be left with memories of Kai the Koi and the Green Sea Turtles at Richardson’s beach.

    Ideally situated property. A short drive from the airport and across the street from an Ocean park. The property itself is uniquely designed with 3 separate units (main house with 1 bedroom), and two attached rooms with their own access (like a mini motel). This was ideal for us, 3 couples travelling together. Bathrooms and Kitchen are modern and clean.

    This house is amazing. We loved the three private en suite bedrooms and expansive outdoor spaces to read, play games, eat meals, and generally enjoy vacation time. Proximity to the beach was perfect for us. Some people might not like the road noise. It did not bother us in the least. The quick steps to the beach was an even trade of for us.

    We stayed here for 3 nights during our 10th anniversary trip to the Big Island. It was very clean, well appointed, and easy to relax. All directions were clear and helpful. And I would highly recommend staying here.
