About this house rental
Let your kids feed the friendly sheep, then bring coffee out to the covered lanai and look across the Pacific. This newer two-story home sits on two lush acres in the Hamakua Heritage Corridor, with three bedrooms, two baths, and room for six. Ocean views reach into both guest bedrooms, and the fully equipped kitchen, air fryer, and four-person table make it easy to stay in after a day on the road. The 60-inch TV and comfortable living room offer a simple reset when the weather turns misty. Black-sand beaches, tropical gardens, waterfalls, and Volcanoes National Park are all part of the wider adventure from here, while Hilo is about 20 minutes away for culture and cuisine. It is a lovely home base for a family who wants the Big Island's green, wilder side with space to slow down.
The Space:
This two-story, three-bedroom, two-bath home sleeps six, with ocean views from both guest bedrooms and a covered lanai for taking in the coast. The living room has a sofa, two armchairs, and a 60-inch TV for quiet nights in. In the kitchen, a coffee maker, air fryer, island seating for two, and a four-person dining table make everyday meals simple.
Guest Access:
Guests at this Big Island getaway in Ninole enjoy access to a garden backyard, patio or balcony, and outdoor seating with sea views along the Hamakua Coast. A private entrance with a lit path at night makes arrivals easy, and long term stays are welcomed for extended visits.
The Neighborhood:
Ninole is part of the Big Island's Hamakua Coast, a green, rural stretch of sea cliffs, waterfalls, pasture, and big Pacific views. The Hamakua Heritage Corridor makes the drive itself part of the experience, with black-sand beaches, gardens, and scenic pullouts along the way. Hilo is about 20 minutes south for restaurants, markets, and museums. This is not a walkable town setting, so a car is essential. Families who choose this side of the island usually want rainbows, waterfall outings, and a quieter landscape than the resort coast provides.
Getting Around:
Hilo International Airport is the closest, roughly 45 minutes away along the lush Hamakua Coast. A rental car is essential, as this quiet rural area is far from shops and dining, with Hilo offering the nearest grocery stores and restaurants. The setting is peaceful and spread out rather than walkable. Parking is easy and plentiful on the property itself.
Other Things to Note:
This rental is not equipped with air conditioning.
