Description

Welcome to your private oasis on the east side of the Big Island. The first thing you will notice are the breathtaking ocean views, picturesque palms, and refreshing sea breeze - Hawaii’s natural air conditioner! A covered lanai offers the ideal location to experience the quintessential sights, sounds, and smells of the island. Enjoy an oceanfront morning coffee or afternoon cocktail at the comfortable outdoor table and chairs. A BBQ is also available for an afternoon of grilling and dining outside!

An inviting living area greets you upon arrival with cozy furnishings. Snuggle up on the comfy sofa and enjoy a movie night at home on the large, flatscreen TV with cable and high-speed internet. Spectacular ceilings tower high overhead featuring an open design to promote airflow and circulation.

A spacious kitchen provides the family-chef with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, ample lightning, and a lovely garden-view window. Fully-equipped with everything you need to feel right at home including all cooking equipment and utensils, microwave, coffee maker, and generous storage space. Bar stools are situated at the countertop for a perfect breakfast spot!

Ascend the Koa trimmed staircase to reach the master bedroom featuring queen bed, ensuite bathroom, and private lanai directly off the bedroom! The ocean views from here are even more beautiful and offer another excellent spot to enjoy the tropical climate under a covered lanai. The ensuite bathroom is stylish and spacious boasting a full bath, shower, and great lighting with full windows and palm tree vistas.

A second bedroom sits on the lower level of the home. Only about five steps down from the main living area, this bedroom is actually two levels below the master and ideal for a little extra personal space. This bedroom also features bright natural lighting, generous closet space, queen bed, and work space with a desk and chair. The second full bathroom includes a glass shower, updated fixtures, and sliding window. This home does include a Washer & Dryer for guest use. Take a break from the hustle and bustle in your well-maintained home away from home on the peaceful Big Island.

This almost oceanfront home is situated on 1.04 manicured acres with native plants, foliage, and extensive fruit trees. Technically Beach Rd does sit between this property and the ocean, however there is no through-traffic. An ideal location, Hilo is only 20 minutes driving away and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is 45 minutes. No Smoking and No Pets Please.

This rental was exactly what the picture showed on the VRBO site.
We stayed at this property from Jan 23- Feb 6.
We loved the location right near the ocean and you could hear the big waves at night. Having access to Beach Road was so nice to walk around the neighborhood and meet all the friendly locals as well as the visitors.
Property managers were exceptional during our stay they went above and beyond to make sure our stay was relaxing and we were taking care of.
We recommend this property 1000%

We chose this location to be away from urban bustle, and to enjoy a local experience. It is a convenient jump off to Volcanoes NP, the Puna District and the Hamakua Coast, and about 15-20 minutes to Hilo’s events, museums, and restaurants. At the entrance to the property’s subdivision we found fun places to eat (with live music), and a fantastically-stocked store to grab anything you need.

Upon arrival, one is immediately struck by the expanse of lush landscaping and great privacy from the property next door. The ocean views commanded the back of the property, and so close it could startle you with waves spraying high up on the pathway running between the house and the sea. Friendly locals use this path for morning walks but otherwise one enjoys incredible solitude.

The layout of the house was great for us. We loved the openness and expansiveness of the upstairs master bedroom and bath, and the ocean views from the upper and downstairs patios. The kitchen was well-stocked, and appliances in great shape. The ceiling fans created great airflow, and the house was extremely neat and clean, and welcoming in all reaspects.

The local property manager was so helpful and friendly, and readily available for all our needs. Her “aloha spirit” was a special asset for this property.

I would recommend this property to one seeking a private ocean-front seat to incredible morning sunrises, the vista of Hawaiian seas, and the sounds of nature, Hawaiiaan-style.

Nice Stay!

Right on the ocean. I was able to jog the beach road in the morning. I could hear the ocean from inside the home. Saw whales breaching from the porch.

Clean and comfortable and with amazing views. We were visiting family to attend the Merrie Monarch and the drive to Hilo was easy to navigate. Quiet area and well maintained home. We had a little difficulty finding the property on the first night, I would suggest adding the street name Akala Ave as listed on the sign to the directions. Also lighting at gate and an improved lock/opening system are needed. I was uncomfortable with the window in the loft bathroom shower and would suggest frosting the pane or adding curtains. The home and property were nicely maintained. Views and the sound of the waves from the livingroom and loft were soothing. I am truly missing my morning coffee overlooking the ocean.

A Lovely Place to Stay, Walk, and Listen to the Waves!

If it weren't for an almost solid two-weeks of rain (end of Oct to early Nov) this stay was exactly what I needed. It was safe and peaceful. The property is absolutely beautiful, with a lovely lawn in front. A couple of lounge chairs would have made for perfect sunbathing (assuming you could get some sun!) People-watching was fun, and everyone was friendly and had a dog, and even one cat! Unfortunately, people do park directly in front of the home as it is at the end of the road, and some would leave litter. Such a shame. It is truly a very special setting, and being able to hear the waves crashing along the lava cliffs at night was exceptionally enjoyable. I would stay again. Note: the house water is not drinkable (very stinky) and locals fill jugs at the government provided filling stations which are close-by.
Traffic to and from Hilo can be substantial. Sensor-motion lighting outside the home would have been useful for nighttime arrivals.

The location of the property is ideally located on the ocean. As noted in the property description there is a local dead-end road in front of the property so minimal traffic other than local people stopping to fish or walk the coast. The property met our expectations and had all the necessary items to make it a pleasant and quiet stay.

Great spot!

Hale Honu was perfect for us.
The house was clean and comfortable, the kitchen even had a few staples, having access to laundry was a bonus.
The yard space added to the sense of privacy, and the neighborhood was quiet for the most part ( coqui frogs and birds!)
Location was awesome- especially for those sunrise walks.
Keaau Foodland/Ace Hardware are a quick 20 minutes away- time errands not during rush hour though.
Perfect intro to relaxing island life ��������������
Highly recommend!

It was just what we wanted. Very clean and so close to the ocean, you can hear it. The views were amazing and the neighborhood was great. We came to the HPP area to look at a house to buy and the neighbors and views and sounds sold us on it. I would definately rent this place again. If you are looking for peace, solitude and ocean life, this is a great rental.
