Hilo is known for its warm aloha spirit, relaxed lifestyle, unique shops, art galleries and restaurants with local regional cuisine. Local attractions include Lyman Museum, East Hawaii Cultural Center, historic Palace Theatre, Pacific Tsunami Museum, Imiloa Astronomy Center, UH Hilo Performing Arts Center and Hawaii Tropical Botanical Gardens. Hilo Farmers Market is a favorite for fresh, local produce. Merrie Monarch Festival, Hilo's premier hula competition and cultural event, is held annually. Hilo's black sand beaches are some of the best for snorkeling, diving, surfing, paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming with turtles and tropical fish, or watching the whales off shore. Take a helicopter volcano tour or scenic drive to Kilauea Volcano (when flows are active) to view a lava caldera, or tour the summit and view the night skies of Mauna Kea.
We are near Highway 19, only 15 minutes to the town of Hilo, 20 minutes to the Hilo Airport and an approximate 2 hour drive to Kona. This is a great central location to tour and see the inspiring vistas the Island of Hawaii has to offer.

Speech fails to capture the enchantment of this house. Here we are, nestled with my parents and our little one, and as a couple, we've uncovered the ultimate Hawaiian retreat during our two-decade-spanning visits. This property and its neighborhood transport us to a paradise where every dawn and dusk unfurls like a mesmerizing painting, uniting us as a family. Our splendid abode keeps us not only secure but also in perfect harmony with nature. Our hearts brim with longing to return to this idyllic haven, again and again.
Immediately walking through the front door you are greeted with floor to ceiling windows with views of the ocean! No air conditioning; however, with the windows and doors open and the fans provided, the house was comfortable even for sleeping at night. Kitchen was well stocked. Perfect location if wanting to stay close to Hilo!
Amazing view and awesome house! Clean, comfortable, quiet, secluded (may want to have ear plugs if the little frogs bother you at night)... kitchen very well stocked, was difficult to leave!
Clean, great views and would stay here again! It is noted that upgrades inside the home are on the way and that makes it even better!
We loved staying at this beautiful, well kept piece of paradise. The sunrise views were awesome and the sound of the waves melodic. The pictures on line well depict the property. Birds and frogs sang to us. The privacy was perfect for us. The three of us thoroughly enjoyed staying here. Thank you for the privilage.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Just Wow! We spent two weeks on this property and it would be difficult to express in words the beautiful memories that we created on this trip. We saw, cruise ships, tug boats and 2 rainbows right from the house...not to mention the millions of stars that we saw at night from the patio. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed. We cooked dinners and hung out on the property. It was so peaceful and beautiful. There is a walk that you can take down to Hakalau Bay where you can go swimming or you can watch body surfers and people going in to spearfish. The garden is gorgeous and we didn't get a chance to picnic in the front yard but we are definitely booking again to do that! This is a real gem and not to be missed!
Lovely comfortable house with beautiful surrounds and amazing views of the ocean. Wake up to sunrise over the water and the birds and be lulled to sleep by the sounds of the waves and the frogs.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is in a beautiful location overlooking the ocean - one day we watched whales from the lanai and another day there was a full rainbow. The only dilemma is that there is so much to do in the area - and the house makes you want to stay and relax awhile. They are working on renovations and would love to see what it is like afterwards.
