Keywords: House
Completed in February 2008, this completely furnished three bedroom home now awaits your family’s Hawaiian vacation! A full-acre lot near the ocean gives you complete privacy and relaxation. Yet, it’s close to scores of unique places to visit and things to do.
In the morning, wake up and get a view of Mauna Kea, covered with snow, from the kitchen window. Step outside and you’ll hear the surf crashing along the coast. In the evening, sit on the lanai and gaze into a brilliant crystal-clear sky so bright, you’ll feel like you could reach up and touch the stars!
The Ohana (Family) Paradise Home is ideal for the family who is wishing to experience the Hawaiian culture in an affordable manner. We all realize the difficulty the poor economy is causing the average family. So, it was our goal to make a dream vacation possible for everyone.
When you make your reservation, you’ll receive a personal visitors’ guide, written by us, complete with pictures of places and activities that cost little or nothing. Easy to follow directions help you find those spots most locals keep to themselves.
Three bedrooms allow you to bring the whole family or join with other couples for a dream vacation on a budget. The house is fully equipped with a whirlpool bath, big screen televisions, surround sound, a state-of-the art security system for your peace of mind, and ultra-comfortable beds and furniture.
A complete modern kitchen allows you to eat at home when you choose not to eat at a restaurant. When you can stock up on sweet tree ripened fruit and delicious vegetables at the Maku’u Farmers’ Market, which is one of Hawaii’s largest and only minutes away, cooking is is always an adventure and never a chore. But, when it’s time to eat out, nearby Keaau, Pahoa and Hilo offer a wide range of fantastic restaurants (from homemade pizza to authentic Hawaiian to exotic Thai).
The environment is truly rural Hawaii, yet you’re only twenty minutes from the heart of Hilo. The Hilo area is the “green side” of the island with lush green foliage and many waterfalls. You can drive around the island easily in a day. You will travel through eleven ecosystems on your trip.
You will see jungle, grassland, deserts, and even arctic snow-covered mountains in the winter. Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and the active Kilauea volcanoes have helped to create beaches of every type and color (black, white, and even green). You’ll discover the Big Island really does have it all: from relaxing geothermal-heated ocean tide pools to snow skiing and everything in between!
If you want to vacation with no activities other than lying on a sandy beach and a small room with maid service, this home is not for you. We’d recommend the luxury hotels in Waikiki or Kona, instead. But, the cost per day will be about the same as a week at the Ohana Paradise Home.

A wonderful place to stay! The neighbours are exceptionally friendly and gave great tips for attractions in the area. About a 20 minute drive from downtown Hilo. We had 4 adults and a toddler and still were very comfortable. We loved having the windows open at night and listening to all the different singing and chirping. So relaxing! Beautiful landscaping. Thank you so much for sharing your home!
Owner response:Yes, we are very fortunate to have a home in paradise with such great neighbors. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. It is really easy to have a great time, relax, and sleep, too. We hope to see you again soon! Mahalo, J.D. The Ohana Paradise Home

This is a great place to stay on the Big Island. My family enjoyed the wonderful home and peaceful, quiet surroundings. It is very close to Hilo, the airport and equally close to the volcano. The house is tastefully decorated and exceptionally comfortable. The owners have created a great "guide" to the Big Island, which includes many things not listed in your regular travel books. We used this guide every day of our stay and it was completely accurate. It led us to some of the most scenic areas that I have ever seen. We would have never known about these areas without the efforts of the owners. I would recommend this house to anyone interested in staying on the Big Island!!!!!
Owner response:Aloha Tim & Pam, We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and that our Big Island Guide was helpful. In fact, we just updated it again! So, be sure to go online and download a new copy. There are so many great things to see and do on the island. Plus, many of the attractions have been improved (i.e. Volcanoes National Park, Imiloa Astronomy Center, etc.). We certainly have fun finding new places and new activities to put in our guide. We hope you can come back soon to check them out! Mahalo, J.D. The Ohana Paradise Home
