Oceanfront Promontory w/ Stunning Views & Luxury Accommodations. Walk to Beach!

Couldn't ask for a better location or views. The house is stocked for a day on the beach or snorkeling, but it's so nice and airy you could sit inside and read all day while taking in the ocean air. Super easy to get on the highway and drive up the coast to waterfalls, farms, and even more amazing vistas.

Good

This house is gorgeous! We enjoyed the sounds of the ocean day and night and it was a treat to watch the surfers from the nearby beach. Very convenient to zip into Hilo while staying in a quiet location. The kitchen is very well equipped for any cooking needs and the house was very spacious and comfortable for our group.

Beautiful home. Great location

This a beautiful property, well situated near Hilo. The views are stunning. Not a bad view in the place. The amenities are outstanding and decor is warm and welcoming.

Beautiful location and home!

Everything would could have needed. Amazing views!

We enjoyed our 8 night stay. The star is the location, less than a 5 minute drive from downtown Hilo but sitting perched on the edge of a bluff with 180 degree views stretching from the surfing beach to your left to Hilo Bay to your right. The outdoor spaces with these views really expand the use of the space. The interior is cozy, with three good-sized bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. And the property owner was very good at communicating, both upfront and also in response to any questions that we had.

We absolutely LOVED our stay in Hilo. This home is just a few minutes from town and we were so happy to walk down the street to the beach! Perched on the cliff we had incredible sunrise views and watched the surfers daily. The home was equipped with everything we needed. Randall was responsive with fixing a key that broke off in the lock and was very speedy and helpful with communication. If we ever find our way back we will definitely stay again!

Beautiful views, immaculately clean. Mattress we slept on was nearing end of its life, but house otherwise well maintained.

Absolute exceptional stay! The Views are stunning! Perfect location, 5 minute walk to beach, minutes from downtown Hilo, restaurants, shops, and only 10 min from Botanical garden. Randall was an amazing host so responsive and there to make sure our stay was perfect. Don’t look any further you've found a Hilo gem!

The view from the property is outstanding. Our experience was not so good. Overall the property is run down and a lot of things are worn or broken. The house had rats and we killed one in a trap on tghe same kitchen counter where food is prepared the third night we were there. Plus, is wasn't very clean and there was no vacuum in the house. It's a shame really. When it was built it was probably a really nice place but age has given it a broken shower door, smashed range lights, etc. It needs some money put into it a a decent job of cleaning.

The pictures don’t do it justice! Absolutely beautiful home in a convenient location with incredible views. Lots of nice little touches such as extra linens, towels, extension cords, hygiene products, plenty of fans etc. The kitchen is fully equipped and rooms were very comfortable. Randall was easy to contact and accommodating. My only note is that the pictured lounge chairs on the primary bedroom deck were not there during the stay, but there were other outdoor tables and seating.

The views were great. We we there during a warm spell, so A/C would have nice, but there was always a cool breeze outside in the evening. Overall, a great place to stay.

Excellent views … very well outfitted property … great communication with host … close to Hilo … the property is directly in landing approach for Hilo airport so some airplane noise occasionally …

The views from this house were incredible! We enjoyed meals on the oceanfront deck, and it was fun to watch the cruise ships and cargo ships going in and out of Hilo harbor. Randall was helpful and responsive. What a memorable place!

This property was absolutely perfect - excellent proximity to Hilo, fantastic view, and it had everything a family would need on vacation all the way down to beach chairs and towels. The rooms were comfortable even without A/C (which was a concern for us initially as we are from Florida and A/C is a must) and the kitchen was perfectly equipped with anything you'd need.

Kahoa House was our vacation home for 4 days accommodating a multi-generational family of 4 adults and 2 children (9 &12yo). We loved the spectacular coastal location on Hilo Bay, especially all the wave action, surfers and even a cruise ship passing. It's a cozy, clean, well equipped home in a prime location with easy access to the regional attractions. Loved covered outdoor Lanai and front deck. Our visit to Volcanoes National Park was spectacular with Kilauea in full eruption. Abundance of beach gear, games, puzzles, books and binoculars were wonderful additions. Note, no A/C if your staying in summer, but excellent ventilation and fans. Would definitely stay again.

This well appointed home had everything to make our stay perfect. The 3 bedrooms and en suite baths were clean and comfortable. The location provided expansive views of the coastline and of Hilo Harbour in the distance. The manicured landscaping and enjoyable lanai and patio were the perfect places to unwind outside.

Property was clean and very accommodating for our little. The toys in the garage were a hit! We didn’t get much beach time but I walked down to the beach every morning. The wind blew straight through the house to keep us cool and the views were incredible!

Such a beautiful home. Very well maintained! Super clean inside and out! The stay was relaxing and peaceful! Every amenity you could ask for.

There are a lot of reviews on this house…and all are really good. Well, you can believe what everyone has said. The house, with full ocean views, was absolutely beautiful. Large picture window and sliding glass door provide a 180 view of the ocean. Surfers start at daybreak and entertain til nightfall. Three full bedrooms with each having a private bath. All three are so nice, I’m not even sure which to call the Main Bedroom. Wonderful kitchen with everything you need from silverware to dinnerware, several coffee machines… well, too much to list actually. There are two wood decks that face the ocean and a very large tiled lanai. One deck has a table and chairs with the lanai having its own table and chairs with separate comfy lounge chairs. There is so much to say about this place that this review could go on as a short novel. But, I’ll stop there with this - this is the nicest VRBO that we have ever rented. Do yourself a favor and book this place if you are looking to visit Hilo.

Beautiful home exactly as described on VRBO. Excellent communication with the host. Clean, well stocked and super comfortable. Can’t beat the view and sitting on the lanai watching the surfers and the occasional cruise ship come in. Highly recommend and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Fantastic stay

We had such a wonderful stay at this lovely home. Exactly as advertised - amazing setting and views and stylishly decorated. Beautiful setup for 3 couples with each room having its own bathroom. The hosts thought of everything - snorkeling gear, beach chairs, umbrella - to make it easy for us to enjoy time at the beach. We also enjoyed the spices, condiments, and BBQ that helped make saving some money with homemade meals easy. We also liked that we didn't have to waste money and food. If we come back at the area, this offering will be first on my list!

Gorgeous older home in meticulous condition. Very clean, with newer appliances and a wonderfully stocked kitchen in terms of pots, pans etcWe loved the Hilo area, and having coffee outside on the lanai in the morning as the whales woke and played; just what we hoped for. Nice quiet neighborhood, but close to town. Highly recommend!

Have stayed multiple times and have enjoyed each visit. Very relaxing.

This house was our perfect getaway! Amazing views, clean, quiet and the kitchen had everything and then some! Garage was full of beach chairs, umbrellas and snorkeling gear! Would come here again in a heartbeat!

We had a wonderful time! Such a great location to enjoy the surf beach, watch Whales and close to Hilo Town.Very well kept home and easy check in/out.We will be back!Thank you!

Absolutely, enjoyed our time at Oceanfront Promontory. The home has everything you need to enjoy your vacation in wonderful Hilo. You are close to a black sand beach where you can watch surfers and take a walk on the beach. While drinking coffee on the deck we watched dolphins playing in the surf and cruise ships entering the port. The home included all the beach amenities needed to enjoy a day at one of Hilo's beaches including snorkel gear, beach chairs and towels. We loved being close enough to downtown Hilo and enjoy the many dining opportunities as well as the Farmer's market. Look forward to returning!

This property is one of the most stunning, beautiful places we've ever stayed at. We were very pleased with how well-stocked it was, which (unfortunately) is unusual with vacation properties. For example, they provided toiletries (including q-tips, body wash, lotion), laundry detergent, plenty of bedding and pillows, a first aid kit, and even coffee! (Yay, coffee!) Communication was top-notch with the property manager, with clear instructions on entering and exiting the property. I think the only negative about this place is the frogs in the landscaping at night. They are LOUD. But that's NOT the owner's fault, and certainly can't be held against them. Just be aware that if you stay here you might want to bring earplugs. :-)

Great property with a lot of charm. Outstanding views and surfing a short walk away. Randall was an excellent communicator and easy to work with. Would definitely stay at this property again.

The views are just as beautiful as advertised...from the kitchen, living room, front & back patios, and master bedroom. Driving into downtown Hilo was super convenient as was exploring the surrounding attractions - waterfalls, botanical gardens, local farms, etc... Communication with the property manager was easy via phone & text. Although no A/C, there are plenty of fans throughout the house.

This is a beautiful home with an outstanding view of Hilo Bay. The kitchen is very well-equipped, and the appliances are excellent. We particularly liked the covered lanai which made dining outdoors enjoyable rain or shine. We have been renting vacation homes in Hawai’i for 40 years and this house is definitely in our top 3.

This is a beautiful house with a spectacular kitchen, overlooking Hilo Bay and favorite local surf spot. Feels clean, comfy, and tropical. This is our second stay in this lovely spot. Thank you Randall for such easy communications and hosting. It’s only a five minute drive into Hilo. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. We highly recommend it.

We enjoyed our stay at this home. The beds were comfortable, the view was gorgeous, the lanai was very enjoyable. We watched the surfers every morning at sunrise.
