About this house rental

Aloha and welcome to my Hawai’i Island cottage!
I am delighted to share my 1 acre of rainforest and hope you will choose to stay at Hawaiian Paradise Cottage.

Enter the property through a private electric gate and down a tree-lined drive to a secluded garden oasis set well back from the road.

The house features 22-foot vaulted ceilings, a fully-loaded kitchen with an espresso machine and burr grinder filled with coffee, high quality black tea and fresh green tea upon request, a 60” smart tv in a fully-furnished tropical decor with hi-speed wifi, a private bedroom downstairs with a deck, a loft bedroom above the kitchen/living room area, and a spacious outdoor dining and lounging area with a barbeque and secluded garden views. You will receive a basket of fresh seasonal fruit your host has selected from the garden. Have your coffee on the east-facing lanai in a flood of morning light with a beautiful garden view. Enjoy tropical evenings of starry skies and relaxing rainforest sounds that some of the guests say they pay for back at home.
There are two queen-sized beds fitted with high quality sheets, as well as a twin bed with 8” memory foam. Front and rear decks offer plenty of leisure space with a full size dining table in the back.

Wifi speeds are 314 Mbps download, 11.7 Mbps upload.

This off-grid property is Hawai’i resident owned and operated. Your host lives on site and is available for a local’s perspective, information about the island, recommendations, and assistance as needed.

When you walk the enclosed, manicured grounds you will find Royal palms, coconut, orange, lime, lychee, banana, taro, white pineapples, papaya, mango, and avocado trees, culinary herbs, and an array of orchids, exotic, and fragrant flowers. There are pleasant and spacious grassy areas beneath palms and large shade trees, perfect for yoga, meditation, bird watching, or simple relaxation. Garden tours are included for all my guests upon request and based on availability.

Please note: This property is not safe for children age 2-11.

Situated in Hawaiian Paradise Park 15 minutes South of Hilo, you will be 5 minutes away from the Paradise Cliffs where you can watch the sun rise over the Pacific, see whales in season, and watch rainbows form. You will also be 5 minutes from the Puna Trail, a pre-colonial forest hike that leads to a secluded beach where giant Honu sea turtles sun and swim in the closed lagoon. We are 40 minutes from Hawaiian Volcanoes National Park where you can witness Kilauea erupting, 30i minutes to the various waterfalls in and around Hilo, one hour to stargazing at the Maunakea Visitor’s Center, 40 minutes to the Pohoiki natural hotsprings, and so much more!

Your host lives onsite and is available for questions or if you need suggestions.
The cottage also provides a high level of privacy if you prefer to be on your own.
There is a selection of art to purchase in the cottage so you can take a piece of Hawaii back with you!

There is limited bus service in the area, so a rental car will give you much more flexibility.
Your host is available afternoons and weekends to provide tours or airport pick-up in an 8-passenger LT luxury trim Chevy Suburban.

We stayed there for a week and really enjoyed our time there. John was a very welcoming and accomodating host and always available if we needed anything. The gardens are lovely and John gave us with some breadfruit which we prepared in the local style, it was delicious. Would highly recommend this location

We enjoyed our 5 night stay here. John was very helpful when we first got in telling us all about the house and gardens and giving us advice on restaurants and local places to see. The gardens on the property are beautiful. We were able to visit the Paradise Cliffs just a 5 minute drive from there as well. Only a couple minor downsides. As a few others have commented on, opening and closing the gate every time we came and went was a bit of a hassle. But we got used to it. It's necessary to keep out any unwanted animals. The other thing was that the pillows were a bit flat. I'm sure John would have helped us with that at the time if we let him know. We just lived with it.

Our family stayed on John's property for four days while visiting Hawaii. John was very responsive as a host and provided great suggestions for restaurants and things to do during our stay. John shared delicious fruits that he grew on his property and took the time to give our family a tour of his beautiful property. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back!

Our family stayed at John's for a few days and it was perfect for our needs. John was very welcoming to us and gave us a detailed orientation to his home as well as a great geography lesson about the Big Island for our kids that we all enjoyed. He also made himself available for an evening garden tour which was one of the highlights of our stay! We would definitely stay at his place again if we return to the Big Island. Thank you, John!

John's rental was fantastic and exceeded what we were expecting. The property itself was wonderful, but the house was great. We had been considering a hike through the "jungle" to a secluded beach. It turns out that John's place is just a few minutes drive to the trail head. John's friendliness and knowledge of the area has gained our loyalty and we will, should we return to Hilo, be renting from him again!
