About this house rental

Twenty nine miles from Kilauea with a view of Mauna Kea on clear mornings and the Pacific Ocean visible across the street. You will hear the ocean, birds and frogs. We are located in a residential area with street noise in the daytime from people visiting the popular neighborhood beach parks.

We share our clean and comfortable home for you to enjoy your trip to Hilo and the Big Island. We offer the vacation home experience you are seeking. The house was originally built in 1936, over 20 years before Hawaii became a member of the United States.

We have installed AC in the living room in May 2022. One of the bedrooms still has a window AC for those who need a little bit more. Opening the many windows and enjoying the fresh ocean breeze satisfies most guests. Our home was originally built a long time ago but it is modern while maintaining the character of a traditional Hawaii beach home. You will see geckos on the property and see the ocean horizon and birds from our picture windows. We almost always see sea turtles at the nearby beaches. It's best to drive to the beach first to ensure you are comfortable with the walk, especially if you have children with you.

We offer 2 bedrooms and 2 baths with an office/library in our ocean view home with great snorkeling beach access. The beaches usually have calm waters, excellent snorkeling conditions, shade, tide pools and green sea turtles and are all just across the street with a short walk. We are a short drive to water falls, botanical gardens, Volcano Park, restaurants and shopping.

This was a great house to stay at as a base camp for exploring Hilo! Our family of 4 was very comfortable and the proximity to nice beaches (with excellent turtle watching) was wonderful. Having a covered parking spot was nice as it was raining when we were leaving- but everything stayed dry. Thanks for a great stay!

We had a great time basing our Hilo adventures out of this Hawaii Beach House. It is located along a strip of beaches that are among the very best beaches to visit in Hilo area. There was a decent view of the ocean looking out the front windows that added to the atmosphere. The view was out over the beautiful volcanic rock wall, the ~25 mph road, and across-the-street neighbor's property. The kitchen was probably one of the best stocked VRBO properties so we were never left struggling to cook with minimal utensils, dishes, pans, and appliances like we have in the past. I had read some complaints about the noise that the frogs made but it was a non-issue for us since we are used to a lot of wildlife noises from many years camping. I would say that the noise of the frogs was low and what we could hear was enjoyable and helped put us to sleep. Not to mention all the fresh air and activities throughout the day also put us right to sleep. The master bedroom bed was very comfortable and the entire atmosphere was relaxing and restful. Highly recommended!

We wanted to see the east side of the island and have time to explore easily. And we were looking for a homelike setting to relax in after exploring during the day. This house delivered! Nice house, great view out the front window and easy to reach, quiet location. Even the air conditioning worked well! A very pleasant stay!!
