Pacific Gem on Unforgettable Hamakua Coast
Come and enjoy Aloha at its best at this new four bedroom, three bath home nestled on the pristine Hamakua coast. With grand views of the great Pacific Ocean, the ride alone is unforgettable.
This Hawaiian retreat will be just what you need with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths and a studio that sleeps up to 4 you can rent separately or for additional space with large groups. Take your honeymoon, family vacation, family reunion or conference in this unique hide away. Great for retreats of 20+ if in sleeping bags and for staying during Merrie Monarch. (House has a reputation of winning now for 3 Halaus.) Furnished in island style with bamboo flooring and furniture, it is beautifully appointed with ceramic tile, custom cabinetry, and granite counter tops.
This 5300 square foot home and lanai make it very spacious and relaxing. Hawaiian quilts and carpets add a lovely ambiance to each room. Enjoy the tropical breeze on the front of the wrap around lanai or the rich tropical forest in the back. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor living space for entertaining family and friends, a romantic stroll, or children to play.
There are many extras like Jacuzzi tub, snorkel gear, BBQ, CD player, TV, and DVD. High speed internet is available. Piano, board games, puzzles and toys are available for hours of comfortable, relaxing and fun entertainment. Watch the whales or cruise ships from the lanai during the day or gaze at heaven’s evening showcase. Our Hawaiian sky is breathtaking in tranquility and beauty.
Walk down to Hakalau Bay, a unique rocky, black sand beach only the locals know about and surf, boogie board, tan or look for treasures. Visit quaint Honomu village where you can browse the shops, have lunch at a café, visit a gallery, or take a short hike to the breathtaking 442-foot high Akaka Falls, all only two minutes away. Have a picnic at tucked away Kole Kole Beach Park, another local favorite which boasts of its mountain river meeting the ocean tide. Savor the memories with a few pictures of the waterfall or for the adventurous, go rock climbing up into the mouth of the falls. Located within moments are Umauma Falls, Botanical Gardens, Onomea Bay, 4 mile Scenic Route, and Honolii, one of the Big Island’s best surf spots.
Downtown Hilo, only 15 minutes away offers a unique blend of activities. Visit the Farmers Market on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The Lyman and Tsunami Museum are historic favorites. Top picks for tourists also include the new Imiloa Astronomy Center, Big Island Candies, Hilo Hatties and Rainbow Falls. Swim, kayak, or wind surf in Hilo Bay. There are many little shops and galleries with art, hand crafted treasures and Hawaiian keepsakes along the bay. Wal Mart, Prince Kuhio Mall, Safeway, Target, Waldgreens, Macys and Ross are all located within a block from each other.
Just over an hour away, visit the “must see” Volcano National Park where you can hike to the most recent lava flow and take pictures of burning hot lava. Visit Waipio Valley on horseback or Waimea town, home of the famous Parker Ranch less than 45 minutes away. Take a day trip to our snow capped Mauna Kea mountain to see the stars through some of the best telescopes on earth. Mauna Kea is world renown for its Observatory and Visitor Center also less than one hour away.
Our ocean views, spectacular waterfalls, tropical rain forest and the peace of old Hawaii will refresh and inspire you. This jewel in the Pacific will be more than a vacation, but truly a taste of heaven on earth.

Not a Good Fit
Guest: KB
(Madison, Wisconsin, USA)
Date of Stay: 12/22/11
Review Submitted: 01/02/12
House was large,and relatively new. Common areas are large and almost too large for 5 adults to comfortably converse. We could see the appeal for a church group/team or couple of families. It was however in great need of a good deep cleaning from top to bottom and wall to wall and around the lanai and yard. Several appliances ( main refrigerator and barbeque ) were malfunctioning or unusable and kitchen was hard to use at night because of inadequate lighting. Most smoke alarms had been removed. The few house photos posted on site were accurate although living room ceiling is cathedral.. The view of the water from the lanai is distant. Recommending this house to others would depend on size and make-up of group--was not the best fit for our family group. We traveled all over the island in our 7 days viewing the many sites.. Recommend What's Shakin (smoothie shop )on the Scenic Route between house and Hilo for great smoothies and the botanical garden on same route.
Owner response:We provided a second refrigerator in the kitchen since the main fridge was not getting cold enough and it was there upon arrival. Kitchen under cabinet lighting was out, but ample lighting from ceiling to do any night cooking was more than adequate. Prior renters took out fire alarms as they were smokers and that was taken care of in next renters. As for cleanliness, their stay was in winter and with our rain, blinds were dirty. We do not do any deep cleaning in winter as with one rain storm it would do no good. If you are looking for a spotless place please stay elsewhere as this is not a 5 star hotel, but a family business and most people are thrilled. We always have a few people that care that the base boards are clean and we feel that is not our main focus. We take care of the important things. The barbecue worked fine. Please call to make sure the things that are important to you are addressed and enjoy. Our vrbo is very busy and I could read you 100 positive comments from our guest books.
Recommended for:Families with teenagers.

Much Mahalo to Star we had a fabulous time. Love and Aloha the Waikoloa Strikers Soccer Team. Everyone loved swimming in the river and jumping from the bridge. The ping pong and air hockey tables were put to good use by both the kids and adults. We will be back for sure Kelly.
