Hilo, Hawaii
Our one bedroom beach cottage is located on a quiet one lane road leading to the ocean. While in a quiet location it is still just a few minutes drive from downtown Hilo, supermarkets, restaurants, airport, medical centers, and scenic parks and beaches.
There is a small beach cove located a few steps away. Guests can enjoy sunbathing, picnicking, and swimming during high tide. Just outside the cove is the open ocean where guests enjoy exploring tide pools or just ocean gazing at sea turtles feeding along the coast or dolphins playing out in the ocean.
Several of the areas at our home that our guests find they enjoyed the most were having early morning breakfast upstairs on the outdoor balcony and grilling and dining in the evenings in the large outdoor gazebo while listening to the ocean.
While there are ceiling fans throughout for guests who prefer enjoying just the islands breezes we recently decided to install a split level AC unit for guests who need the comfort of cooler indoor temperatures, especially during to our high summer day temperatures and humidity.
Our beach home works well for couples or couples with one or two little ones. There is a queen size bed in the bedroom and a queen size futon sofa sleeper in the front living room. There is also a full kitchen, full tub and shower bath, pack and play and 4 panel child play yard for little ones.
Note: Our one bedroom cottage is joined to a two bedroom fully furnished downstairs unit which accommodates larger families. We have recently separated the listing for easy bookings for couples who need just a one bedroom unit. We do not book the downstairs unit when we have guests in the upstairs unit to ensure privacy for our upstairs guests. To view reviews of our beach home you may visit VRBO listing #987886.
If you're looking for a quiet and relaxing island stay but want to be close to town life our beach home may be just what you're looking for.
Mahalo and have a wonderful island visit!
We love this area Hilo and this cottage was absolutely perfect. A three minute stroll to the little beach and tidal pools. The cottage had everything we needed and a lovely balcony for meals. The barbecue area under the gazebo was really great. We cooked meals and ate down there and really enjoyed the yard. Claudia the host was great!!! She and the cottage made our vacation so stress free. We hope to return soon. And will recommend to friends.
Great stay, would use this rental again.
The upstairs 1 bedroom was charming and cozy. Well equipped kitchen, extra bath towels, coolers.....everything we needed for our stay. We visited many places, both north and south from here - easy drives. We even went to the east coast for snorkeling with the manta rays. Long but easy, scenic drive. The beach area just down the street from the house is lovely. Very quiet except for the birds and frogs. Makes you feel like you're in a jungle!! We did notice the earplugs when we were leaving but we didn't need them. Owners were quick to respond both before check-in and after. Friendly too.
We very much enjoyed are stay at this home. Kitchen had everything plus more that we needed! Thank you!
The one bedroom unit upstairs was more than pleasant and comfortable. Everything on the property was nicely done and maintained. The outdoor covered patio was a great space to hang out. The location was excellent as it was a short walk to a great beach spot. It exceeded my expectations, I would love to do it again!
This property is so pretty and well maintained. Everything we needed and more was readily available. The outdoor patio was great for relaxing and having meals outside! It was an excellent home base for all our Big Island activities.
Charming, well equipped and situated in a splendid little cul-de-sac with a two minute walk to the shore of Hilo bay. The side porch setting is perfect for an afternoon of reading. We will return!
We spent a few days here. The place is in a tropical garden near the sea. We were upstairs with a large lanai overlooking the garden. We sat outside much of the time. The kitchen is well equipped and the bed comfortable. There is good AC to keep cool. All in all we hate to leave.
LOCATION IS IDEAL. A GREAT HOME BASE FOR COMING AND GOING TO HILO'S MARKET, AKAKA FALLS, HONOKAA, PAHOA, VOLCANO. WE EVEN WENT TO THE DRAG RACES 7 MILES AWAY. CLAUDIA WAS GREAT. AIR CONDITIONING MADE IT GREAT FOR SLEEPING. WE WOULD STAY THERE AGAIN IN A FLASH! DUANE AND HELEN, IDAHO.
Excellent place with the facilities you might want! The lanai(s) were amazing for eating and relaxing. Very comfy bed, good ventilation that kept the house cool even without aircon on. Very loud noises all night long from the frogs, so be warned! We don't mind the noise as it became a sort of white noise..but some people might hate it. The nearby beach is definitely not for swimming, but more for exploring the pools and watch the wave crashing.
