Location: Hilo, Hilo District, Big Island, Hawaii, USA (30 Minutes from Hilo Airport, 5 Minutes from Pahoa Town)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 5-7)
Welcome to the East-side of Hawaii. This three story oceanfront custom home in Hawaiian Beaches was designed to make you feel as though you are floating on the water... that's how close it is to the gorgeous Pacific Ocean. Year round, from every room in this 3 bedroom 2 bath house you will get a 180-degree unobstructed views of magnificent sunrises with dolphins, turtles, and other marine life. During winter months, you will also see up close, whales passing right in front!!! What a way to enjoy your Hawaii vacation... the sound of the waves, whales singing, and ocean breezes. Another great bonus is that the house is located near the most eastern tip of the Big Island and is therefore almost always free of VOG(volcanic haze) which affects the air quality in Kona(west side) and Ka'u(soutern side)of the island. Prevailing tradewinds and seabreezes keep this haze away from our location.
This house is located in an ideal neighborhood for taking walks, jogs, or bike rides. Or if you feel like relaxing, stretch out on our comfortable lounge chairs outside where you can enjoy the sun and ocean views. It is located just 5 minutes from Pahoa town which has many restaurants to choose from (Mexican, Thai, Italian, etc...) We don't have a beach right in front but we are near to Pohoiki beach park (swimming/surf spot), the Wai Opae fish sanctuary which is great for snorkeling, and the geothermal hot ponds just down the road. Also, the Hawaii Volcano National Park is just 45 minutes away, and the new lava viewing area is only 25 minutes away(where the lava is entering the ocean).
Every room has brand new furniture, including 2 new comfortable queen size beds and one twin bed with feather pillows and 300-thread count cotton sheets. We also have available 2 futons for added people. The master bedroom on the third floor has a "boat-like" feel. When you lay on the bed, it feels as though you are on the water! Each additional room also has ocean views, so no guest gets left out. The living room has 3 huge panoramic windows, letting the blue ocean permeate throughout the room. The last bedroom is above the living room, with a loft-like setting. The kitchen has brand new stainless steel appliances, coffee machine, and microwave. This vacation rental has all the necessities of home, including a 37" flat screened TV, an additional TV in the master bedroom, and free Wi-fi internet access. Also available for use is a charcoal BBQ but you have to bring your own charcoals.
If you need advice on any spot in the Big Island, we are here for answers. We are located 30 minutes from Hilo airport. Check-in is from 3:00PM or after. Check-out is at 10:00AM, unless other arrangements have been made. Upon confirmation, directions will be e-mailed to you.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
My husband and I are both born and raised in Hawaii. I came from Oahu and my husband was born in Kona but raised in Kalapana before the lava came and took it away. He brought our family back to the Big Island 6 years ago where we have been ever since. The vacation rental is actually my dad's house which he bought in the hopes of moving to a peaceful, less crowded place than Oahu, where he plans on retiring some day. In the mean time we have created a relaxing oceanfront home for visitors to enjoy.
Why the Owner Chose Hilo
My dad bought this house because of its spectacular ocean views. Plus the way the house is designed, you don't miss the ocean view from anywhere in the house. All of us enjoy it here on the east side of the Big Island because it feels as though you are in "true" Hawaii, not the over commercialized islands. It is definately a place where you can enjoy nature at its finest. Plus it is a safe place to raise our three sons.
The Unique Benefits of this House
The best thing about this house is when you get to see whales right in front. It is amazing to be able to sit out front and see all the marine life(turtles, fish, whales, opihi, etc...).

We had such a fabulous time! I almost don't want to tell anyone else about this place, because it was such a find. Most of the house is windows facing the ocean and you sleep with the windows open and the crashing waves beneath your bed. And while it rained constantly in Hilo, and was voggy at the Volcano, it was always sunny and beautiful at the house. Definitely drive through the jungle the 2 miles to the hot pools! An experience we won't soon forget. Thanks again.
