Property Description
Paradise Retreat is your own private resort on Hawai'i’s Big Island. Relax and enjoy the swimming pool and hot tub in our private, fully enclosed back yard. Lounge poolside in the sun-soaked chaise chairs or stay cool on the covered lanai. In the evenings, enjoy starry nights and listen for the waves crashing just a few blocks away.
The home is designed to collect the island trade-winds and naturally cool the interior, especially during the evening hours with the A/C off and the windows open. Our A/C systems efficiently cools the home during warm days, if necessary, using only solar during the day-light hours.
Our home has been recently updated, is fully furnished and stocked with linens, pool towels and all the kitchen items you'll need for cooking your favorite meals. Water from our well is filtered and UV-treated before entering the home.
Paradise Retreat has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The main bedroom suite has a king-sized bed, en-suite bathroom with slate tiled shower AND jetted bathtub. The two additional bedrooms share a bathroom with a bathtub and shower. One of these bedrooms has a queen size bed and the other has a king size bed. The fourth bedroom has a twin bed with an AC unit. The third bathroom is in the large laundry room near bedroom four. We provide a washer and dryer for laundry and a starter supply of laundry strips to avoid large plastic detergent jugs.
Located in Keaau just south of Hilo, Paradise Retreat is in a great place for day trips to Volcanoes National Park, Hilo, Pahoa and the heritage Hamakua Coast. Let us point you in the right direction for adventures, cultural sites and ocean activities. Our neighborhood is quiet at night except for the mesmerizing Coqui frogs. Please respect quiet hours 9pm to 8am by keeping noise levels low. If you can’t hear the Coquis, it’s too loud. Mahalo nui loa for your green choices, respecting our home, our neighbors and our Island. E Komo Mai!
Paradise Retreat is an eco-friendly get-away and leaves a small carbon footprint on our beautiful island.
This is a Hawaii County licensed short term rental.

We had a great time staying here. The accommodations were exactly as described. We really enjoyed having the pool and the hot tub. It would be more convenient if there was an outdoor shower to rinse off before pool or hot tub. Loved this house. We will be back again.

Fantastic property! Fully stocked with everything you need. Clean, comfortable, beautifully landscaped with a wonderful pool and hot tub. We were almost tempted to stay on the property the entire time we were on the big island. Close to Hilo, Volcanoes National Park, black sand beaches and waterfalls. The Paradise cliffs are just a few blocks away, and a wonderful place to watch the sunrise every morning. Property manager was responsive and available, They even mailed us a pair of eyeglasses that got left accidentally. Would definitely stay here again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was conveniently located with proximity to Hilo and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The house was well-appointed with everything one would need. We particularly enjoyed the pool and outdoor space, which was very private.

This is the 3rd time we have stayed at the Paradise Retreat and again were not disappointed. The home is extremely clean and tidy, responses from on-island contact are always prompt and helpful. The pool was amazing as usual. This home exudes every bit of tranquility you could ask for and all the amenities to boot. Amazing roadside Huli Huli chicken stands, farmers markets and downtown Hilo are only minutes away as well as all the wonderful sights in Volcanoes National Park and on the other side of the island. We plan to continue to come back and stay at Paradise Retreat again and I highly recommend it to anyone else wanting a wonderful, extremely clean and fully stocked home to stay at while exploring all the Big Island has to offer.

We have stayed at this rental for three years in a row. It’s a fantastic place to relax and is conveniently close to the volcano. We love spending time in the pool and jacuzzi. The rental is always clean and well-stocked. We highly recommend this vacation rental.

Property was as wonderful as the pictures show. It was great to have space to spread out and be together. The family loved having the pool and the big yard to play in as well as the hot tub. The kitchen was well stocked for at-home meals. The only slight drawback is that there was the AC didn’t extend to the two smaller bedrooms so they got quite warm/humid for sleeping.

Very clean, quiet location, beautiful home with a great pool. It was awesome to have air conditioning. We go to the Big Island every year and this is one of the few Vrbo’s that we stayed at that has AC. Management team was awesome and went well out of their way to make sure our stay was enjoyable.

Very much enjoyed our two week stay in this house. Very secluded and quiet. The geckos at night chirping was so loud and enjoyable. The grounds of the house are so beautiful. Only issue was there is no rail on the pool. Made it difficult for my wife to get in and out of the pool. Enjoyed all the local small restaurants and we also cooked too. Made for a very memorable family trip.

A perfect home for a family of four. We split our Big island vacations in two, with our Hilo stay being all about relaxing at home, by the pool w home cooked meals. This is house is perfect for that. Half an hour away from groceries and restaurants, if needed. The pool is pretty chilly-which is great on sunny days, unfortunately we hit a rainy week so we couldn’t enjoy it to its full potential, however the tub worked wonders.
Our youngest is a very strong swimmer and our oldest is a teen, so the pool size and depth was perfect for us.
The neighborhood is very quiet and private. The neighbors we happened to see were all very friendly. The landscaping provides excellent privacy. A review mentioned a dog barking, and he does but it’s a small pup and it’s not an annoying bark. I heard the wild fowl more than the dog. If you love the Hilo area, this is a great spot. Only suggestion would be a lock on the gate but it’s probably unnecessary.
I enjoyed the walking the grounds w my little one. It was fun.

We had a wonderful stay at Paradise Retreat, it was exactly what the title says, a Paradise retreat. We all enjoyed the pool and spa especially after a morning of snorkelling or sightseeing. The house was very clean and had all the amenities you would need. A fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. The beds were really comfortable and I can not fault the house in any way.
