About this house rental
Escape to a charming traditional Hawaiian home, elevated on post and pier for enhanced airflow and privacy. This unique blend of classic architecture and mid-century design features an open-concept great room, complete with a sunken living area, dining space, and kitchen, all adorned with stunning vaulted wood ceilings.
The spacious primary bedroom invites you to unwind on a luxurious king-size bed, complete with a private en-suite bathroom featuring a shower. Enjoy the convenience of a double closet, TV with Chromecast, and a dedicated workspace. Step out onto your private balcony to take in breathtaking views of the sunken garden, highlighted by terraced lava stone walls and lush tropical fruit trees.
The second bedroom is equally inviting, featuring a California king bed, TV, and ample storage. The spacious second bathroom includes a full-size tub and is stocked with complimentary toiletries, a hairdryer, and beach towels for your adventures.
Gather in the sunken living room, designed for relaxation and entertainment, with comfortable seating for six and a sleeper sofa that accommodates two. Oversized windows frame picturesque views of the vibrant gardens, making it a perfect spot for movie nights or cozy conversations.
Cook up a feast in the fully equipped kitchen, seamlessly integrated into the great room. It features a full-size refrigerator, electric range, double sink, microwave, toaster oven, and coffee station—all the essentials for culinary creations. We even collect organic waste for off-site composting in our lovely garden.
Embrace the spirit of outdoor living in the spacious carport, which doubles as a dining area, laundry space, and gathering spot. With a dining table for six, washer and dryer, and a clothesline, you’ll have everything you need right at your fingertips.
This home has been thoughtfully updated with new paint, doors, flooring, and fans, ensuring a fresh and inviting atmosphere. While you may spot the occasional friendly insect—an endearing part of island life—the home is professionally treated for your comfort.

After spending 10 days in the business of Oahu, this was the perfect, most peaceful house to relax at. My only regret is we didn't get to stay longer. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and the living room has a comfortable sleeper sofa as well. Check-in and house instructions were clear and the entire property was beautiful. The house is also located in a quiet neighborhood away from busy streets. This is a great house for families and we hope it's available next time we're back on the Big Island! Thank you!

Loved having space to spread out in this home. Being from Texas we enjoyed the opportunity to sleep with windows open (the house has an A/C unit) but we opted for the natural breeze. We miss the coqui frogs serenading us to sleep and loved them so much we recorded them! Arthur was great with communication and even made it possible for us to check in early. It was an easy drive to Hilo, the Volcanoes National Park and Mauna Kea. We even drove down to Punalu’u black sand beach and South Point. Would definitely stay there again!

Great place equipped with everything we needed for our short stay in the area. Loved looking out the windows at the lush vegetation. Conveniently located in between Hilo and Volcano and bear other local places to eat.

Spacious home all to oneself, beautifully decorated in tropical decor - and very important, an attached carport - extremely handy when it rains. Set among beautiful tropical landscaping. Items available to borrow: snorkling gear, kayaks, life jackets, beach umbrellas,coolers, etc! Very responsive host lives on grounds. Very much enjoyed stay!

Great home for us to use for 2 nights (family of 4 with 2 teenage kids). Windows open the whole time we were there (70's to 80's). Great beach amenities for us to use in the garage. Appreciated Arthur chatting with us one morning and offering us some ideas to see locally and sharing tropical fruits from his trees. Hiked to Shipman's Beach (about a 2.5 mile hike one way and tough terrain) but worth it as we saw turtles swimming in the lagoon and one was up near us on the beach.
Noticed the home was a little musty when we first arrived and some dusty windows and cobwebs. Not a deterrent at all but that's why we gave a 4/5 on cleanliness.

We stayed at Arthur’s for a week, and enjoyed hearing the tree frogs and rain showers at night and birds in the morning. Easy access to Hilo and Volcanoes NP. Very lush property with beautiful plants. We never used the A/C, as the home was comfortable with just a slight breeze through the screens. The home had plenty of towels, and recreation equipment available such as life vests, snorkeling gear, body boards, etc. Arthur was kind enough to share a fresh avocado with us from the property. We had no needs during our stay, as the home was well-stocked.

Lock box number was not correct on the listing. So had to call owner again. Care taker saw us come after we had a terrible time finding the place and he did not greet us or help us get in. I thought that was very odd. Then the lock box code was written incorrect.
The guy complained about a stain on the sheet and charged me 69 dollars. Sent me a text. Was very upsetting to be texted about a stain and charge 69 dollars for a new sheet. Also wanted the dishwasher unloaded and dishes put away. That was not expected. Not real pleased with the owner. So would not recommend this property even though it look nice.

This house is amazing! The host was so kind and gave our family a tour of his property upon arrival. The lush gardens with tropical plants and fruit trees really adds to this beautiful home. We felt comfortable and relaxed, as it has all of the amenities needed to feel at home. Close to Hilo where we enjoyed the farmers market, Rainbow Falls and just strolling around. Would highly recommend this property, for all types of travelers, including families with kids. Thank you for sharing this lovely piece of paradise!

Everything was exactly as listed. Very cool yard with fruit trees. The temps cooled nicely in the evening so it was comfortable with the fans. Nice to have a washer and dryer too. It was very well organized and had lots of extras, chairs, beach stuff, condiments. The hosts were excellent. Would stay here again if visiting the Hilo area.

Spacious house in decent shape. Location was perfect for us between Volcanos Ntl Park and Hilo. Was not clean to our standards, but not too bad. Host responses immediately to address any concerns. Don't forget to bring ear plugs - frogs sing loudly entire night. Not sure if this is year round on only in spring.

We were extremely happy with our stay! The house is beautifully taken care of and our hosts were extremely welcoming - brought us fresh fruit several times. Beds were very comfortable and the grounds were absolutely gorgeous. A must stay.

Arthur has created a remarkable property here. The house is just as described in the listing, only better. The spaces are beautifully decorated with extra touches that made the stay memorable. Fresh flowers and fruit from the property were very special. The beds were very comfortable with high end bedding. Fans and windows in every room kept the air fresh. The Wi-Fi was fast and the tv/media equipment top notch. The kitchen and bathrooms were well equipped and efficient to use. What you don’t see in the listing photos is how beautiful the surrounding property is with serene green views from every room. We had a very relaxing stay and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Aloha!
