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.

We arrived late night and had to leave early morning but there was no problem to check in and out. Very clean. Great communication. The owner replied quickly whenever we had questions. Great location. I walked to the beach parks every day. We don’t have little kids but the fenced yard will be perfect for a family who has kids. There are stairs (6 steps) to the front door. A person in a wheelchair or a person who is not good with stairs, I recommend to check with the owner. Many Coqui frogs at night. We love listening them but if you’re not familiar with them, you might be annoyed so want check what kind of noise they make. (kind of loud noise)Over all, we enjoyed the stay.

Nice central location, cute house. Only downside was Saturday and Sunday afternoon cars driving by with blaring music, but that’s no fault of the owner! I can see why quite time is enforced. We live in Hawaii and went to see the volcano so didn’t do any beach activities but it would be easy to do so from the house!
