Very unique property—like staying at a private resort, this listing is for TWO units on the same property with separate entrances. Located within minutes from downtown HIlo in a very quiet neighborhood, a short walk to a surfing beach and swimming river park… it’s everything for a group getaway.

Both upstairs and downstairs have full ocean views, with relaxing lanai furniture. Full kitchens in both units, washer and dryer on site… with stocked amenities. >
A 3-minute walk takes you to watch surfers at Honoli'i Beach or to jump in the adjoining river for a refreshing swim. Explore the Big Island from the convenience of Hilo, or treat your stay like a resort vacation with the swimming pool just steps from your door.

The upstairs is airy and grand with unending ocean views; the downstairs is a more modest but also spacious fully stocked unit.

Together there are 3 bedrooms and 2 sofabeds.

Kitchens: Full-sized appliances, microwave and toaster oven, garbage disposal. Amenities and supplies cover basic needs, and we can also help with special requests if you can give us advance notice.

Living rooms: Each with a sofabed that sleeps two, 55-inch TV with digital channels (Spectrum) and internet connection to let you sign-in to your streaming services.

Dining area: Comfortably seats 4, as well as a breakfast counter in kitchen, and remote-controlled fan/light.

Lanai (porch): seats that look to the pool or ocean.

Pool: remodeled in October 2021, has a bahama (seating in shallow water) area and plenty of poolside lounging areas. Guests are given priority and exclusive use of pool (not shared while guests present).

Yard: very expansive grassy yard with unblocked ocean views. Guests are given priority and exclusive use of pool (not shared while guests present).

We provide linen (including beach towels), basic bathroom amenities, and can provide a pack-n-play, high chair or bbq grill upon request. Parking is available in our gated driveway that we share with our guests. We do recommend a local car rental company if you plan to explore the Big Island (they aren't kidding when they say big).

We encourage guests to research and expect that we live on the ocean in a tropical climate--Hilo is the more humid side of Big Island, which we love for the soft air, but can mean more rainfall. Birds, geckos and insects are common and will occasionally sneak close to the house. Though they are harmless, we take great pains to keep our house pest-free and pride ourselves on keeping a clean home. Coqui frogs are now a characteristic of HIlo, they are never seen but gently sing every night for a few hours starting at dusk. Expect to fall asleep to the sound of waves every night... and every day is a chance to watch the sun start a new day if you want to wake up that early!

    This is an amazing property! The owners were so accommodating and pleasant. They were available if needed and even though they live on property it felt very private. The accommodations were clean and had everything we needed. Sleeping on comfortable king bed and sofa bed to the sounds of nature with the frogs, waves crashing on the shore and rain at times was incredible. The kids loved the pool and games. It was hard to leave and we will definitely book again when we come to the big island. Thanks again!

    This was a great place to stay with everything we needed and everything in the kitchen marked so that we knew where everything was. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom was wonderful. The location was great to be able to see the beach from a lot of the large windows. Amazing hosts with wonderful communication! Can't wait to return for another visit!

    Perfect house for our family of 6. Amazing views and a great local location. Local surfing beach just a walk away. Mari is an amazing communicator and was dedicated to make our stay perfect. Amenities were a nice added touch! Sunrises were amazing and it was fun to watch the ships pass by. Local restaurants were really good. Beds were very comfortable. The house is an architectural dream!

    We had a great stay in Hilo. Mari was super helpful and called us to walk through the home’s specifics. Two families on the trip and the property accommodated us well with two levels, and beautiful ocean views from the deck and pool. We saw a dozen dolphins. The kitchen had many spices and condiments and all the cooking supplies.

    We stayed at this lovely place for 5 days in Oct. Pros: - very clean; not fancy, but nice - nice appliances; well stocked kitchen - nicely landscaped yard with stunning ocean views and the lights of Hilo across the water at night - great communication from hosts - large windows/ sliding doors facing the ocean so great views even while eating or relaxing inside - comfy lounge chairs in the shade and by the pool - free use of the pool whenever we wanted (but we needed to skim it first because of many little bugs floating in the water) -wonderful ocean views, and that lovely sound of the surf crashing - walking distance to a surfing beach, not swimmable for us but neat to watch the surfers - quiet residential neighborhood but convenient to Hilo for groceries/ restaurants - quite a bit to see and do in the area and not as rainy as I was expecting Cons: - the frogs are very loud at night. My husband had no problem falling asleep and staying asleep. I had to sleep with a pillow covering my ears. Bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper - this is a lower floor unit so sometimes at night/ early morning I could hear people walking overhead or chairs being moved around. Ear plugs would have fixed that. -no laundry so fine for 5 days but not great for a longer visit

    This place was just right for us. Near Hilo, just down the street from a lovely beach, waves crashed, frogs sang, unit was so comfortable, clean and had everything we needed including sharp knives! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. We loved the spectacular sunrises.

    Great location on the ocean. Inside is Spartain and dated. Overhead stomping and other noise was annoying. The descending walkway was daunting for old guys.

    First words out of my brides mouth when she got to the top of the stairs was, Babe, you done good. Oh my God this is amazing. It was the perfect place to spent our week on the BI. We love this side of the island and the ability to be so far north and still be withing Hilo I'm 20 minutes was fantastic. We loved the views and the home. My now wofe wants to go back without the kids to enjoy this property all over just the two of us again. Hopefully not during the rainy season as much and for a longer stay if they do a longer term stay rate. It was breathtaking and I wouldn't have traded it for the world. It would be a home like it or this one I'd like to own one day that is for certain.
