There aren’t many vacation rentals near Hilo that met the wish list for our family (2 adults and 2 teenagers): 3 separate beds (not just a pullout couch), air conditioning, washer and dryer, a parking space, and a water view. This VRBO had all of this and more! The 2-story rental home is beautiful and has stunning views of the ocean from both the ground level (four loungers) and the second floor extended lanai (four rocking chairs, outdoor dining table and chairs). Facing the east, the lanai is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee as the sun comes up and to eat your dinners in the evening. The pool, which is off the front of the house is also very nice. The two bedrooms on the first floor have king beds and share a Jack and Jill bathroom. There are blinds in one bedroom and an opaque screen that blocks out some light in the other bedroom. The bedroom on the second floor has a queen bed (because of the size of the room)and an en suite bathroom. Note that there are no window coverings on the second floor facing the ocean, except for a retractable shade in the en suite bathroom. But the host did provide a foldable privacy screen that stands between 5 to 6 feet tall, should you wish to use it. The home was centrally located to all we wanted to do in Volcanoes National Park (45 min drive), in Hilo (30 min drive) and excursions in the Hilo area (45 min drive), like waterfalls, zip lining, and horseback riding, I highly recommend this home!

Absolutely amazing stay at this home. The view never gets old! We constantly found ourselves sitting outside just watching and listening to the waves. The home was clean, well maintained and as advertised. I love cooking and the kitchen was excellent and had many staples already stocked. I really appreciated the video sent in advance walking through how to enter the gates and the home. After spending 3 weeks across 4 Hawaiian islands this was the perfect place to end the trip with a little relaxation. We will definitely return to this peaceful waterfront home in the future!

The view is incredible! Your backyard will be dramatic lava cliffs and Pacific Ocean. The ocean is about 30 yards from a beautiful lanai. You’ll fall asleep to the sounds of the waves.

House is very clean and has everything you might need. It’s very comfortable and inviting. The views are breathtaking, the constant sounds of the ocean waves is wonderful! The pool is relaxing and refreshing, not heated. Comfortable beds with quality bedding. A/C available but we don’t really use much as there’s always a lovely breeze! Could have used some extra tv remote batteries and counter spray but otherwise everything was great! We’d love to come back!

Beautiful location on the coastline. Enjoyed seeing the sunrise every morning from the large enclosed lanai. Pool was well maintained. About a 25 minute drive into downtown Hilo on most days. Puna Trail head is close by (bring good shoes should you plan to go the 2 miles one-way to Shipman Beach. Only slight negatives were the stackable washer/dryer had an unpleasant odor in the hallway outside the downstairs bedrooms, and if you are staying in the upstairs master bathroom you will need to navigate some steps to get luggage up and down. Overall a quiet, relaxing location.

The property had so many fine touches. Owner thought of everything. So many places both outdoor and indoor to enjoy the view and stocked with everything we needed. Not sure how im going to survive without that glorious view!

The home itself is beautiful with stunning ocean views from all the rooms. Ultimately, we had a nice time, but there are some inaccuracies of the listing description that need to be corrected. Upon arrival we were disappointed to realize that the primary bedroom, with the most stellar views and en suite bathroom, actually has the QUEEN bed. That was not called out in the description, which may be fine for some, but with an extremely tall husband, we always specifically seek out king beds for our comfort. The photo in the listing of the primary bedroom. “bedroom 1”, mistakenly says king bed, I texted the property manager upon arrival to point out the discrepancy-there was nothing to be done at this point and we would make it work, but I wanted to just let her know. She responded that she would correct the description for others-but It has been almost a week since our departure and no updates have been made. We absolutely would NOT have booked this home, knowing that the primary bedroom was a queen bed. The two king beds are downstairs with a shared bathroom, so we chose one of those rooms and shared a bathroom with our teenager, while our other kiddo got the upstairs views in the primary. The refrigerator icemaker is broken, but bagged ice was supplied. In the living room, there are no blinds on the floor-to-ceiling, north facing window, looks at neighbor’s lanai. The lack of privacy at night with lights on was noticeable. Ocean views & lanai are lovely!

We loved everything about our stay. We booked this house for my Mom's 72nd Birthday. The area around the house was lovely, and it was a short drive to stores and vacation sightseeing. We saw whales every afternoon and evening. I was excited to wake up and view the sunrise with coffee every morning. We enjoyed the pool in the afternoon. The night sky was amazing.I look forward to coming back. I'd stay at this house and in this area again.

Beautiful, very clean and well equipped home. All bedrooms face the ocean. Large lanai. We would happily stay here again.

Location and house was great! Views amazing and got to see some whales! Only negative was the fact that a 3 bedroom house had extra fees for 3rd and 4th person. Seems excessive considering we were booking a house with 3 bedrooms. Other than that, great place!

This home was fantastic! Very clean and better than described. We watched whales and turtles from the balcony the entire week. The owners were responsive and instructions were clear. Would recommend this property again and again!!

Sitting out on the black lava cliffs just off the back patio... gazing at the night starts (without all the light pollution we have at home) was just amazing. A great home.

My husband and I, stayed here for our honeymoon. Everything about staying in this beautiful home, was beyond amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone, wanting a home away from home vibe. The blissfulness was a piece of paradise. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home.
