Hawai'i at

The owners, Sandy and Bob, were very welcoming and pleasant. We had fresh pineapple, papaya, banana bread, chocolate cake and guava juice upon arrival. They also helped us with finding a food, both restaurants and grocery, and some to the beautiful sights. The house was great, and they had nearly everything you could want to use (hot tub, kitchen supplies, beach supplies, tv/dvd/vcr and so on). The only negative was no full stove/oven. There was a two burner hot plate, a microwave, toaster, and toaster/convection oven (which we could not figure out how to use). It was a great place to be able to relax and rest from the days adventures exploring the Big Island. The view of the ocean was GREAT, of which we took sunrise photos every morning! There are many beautiful sights within 5 to 30 minutes of the residence, including Akaka Fall, 2 botanical gardens, 2 surf beaches, Waipio valley, and truly "scenic" drives. Just the walk from the residence to the ocean provided an abundance of nature's sights, sounds and beauty.

What a fantastic find! We were on the Big Island for our daughter's wedding. This rental was the perfect place for our family to gather! It was very spacious, very clean, and very well equipped. We spent many relaxing hours on the lanai enjoying the ocean view while watching the sunrise and sunset, grilling dinner, and catching up with family! We had to prepare some food to take for a 'Welcome Barbeque' and it was very easy, thanks to the well equipped kitchen. It was handy to have access to a washer and dryer. We were glad Wifi was included- that made it easy to check out area attractions and restaurants. I would highly recommed this property to others! We would be happy to stay there again on our next trip to Paradise!

This was a great place to rent. The other reviews were 100% correct. Sandy and Bod are very helpful and their generosity is unbeatable. I've stayed in many rentals but never one with such good and caring people. We traveled with 4 children ages 9-18yrs old and we were all very comfortable. I was a little concerned with not having an oven but Sandy has everything you would need to cook. We ate breakfast everyday outside overseeing the ocean, how relaxing and what a view..... I would recommend this house rental to anyone, you will be very happy. It does rain in Hilo almost every day but only for a short while then the sun comes out. We drove to Kona almost every day (about 1 1/2 hr drive), where the sun is out and went to visit the beaches. You have to go to white sand beach, it's a most see location. Sandy has coolers, boogie boards, chairs and beach blankets so you have everything you would need. We stopped at a grocery store the night we arrived, I recommend it but you will find some things at the rental like condiments, coffee, coffee filters etc. that other renters leave behind (as we did). We also went horseback riding, it was one of the best things we did. Food is very expensive; milk, 1 gallon on sale for $4.99, eggs-1dozen from $1.99-$2.99 and a loaf of sandwich bread $3.99-$6.99 just to name a few things, be prepared. The free Internet was also a great thing, we brought our laptop so we stayed in contact with our family and friends and the kids of course loved it too. Overall, I WOULD RECOMMEND HAWAII AND THIS HOUSE RENTAL TO EVERYONE. MY HUSBAND AND I WILL BE BACK TO CELEBRATE OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY WHICH TOOK PLACE DURING THIS FAMILY VACATION.....

Home away from home

This was the first time we stayed at a vacation rental and we were very impressed. The house looks exactly as it does in the pictures, but the pictures can not show how amazing the views truly are. The house was very immaculate. We were greeted with a warm aloha from Sandy as soon as we arrived. Inside the house was a basket filled with freshly baked banana bread and tropical fruits that were picked from the yard. Be sure to check all the cupboards for utensils and appliances. We didn't realize the house contained everything you needed to cook at home (minus a stove, however there's a hot plate and a grill in the lanai). The property is approximately 15-20 mins north of downtown Hilo. We wished we could have stayed a little longer. Mahalo Sandy for the warm hospitality!

Bob and Sandy did an excellent job of making our stay comfortable and relaxing. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The fruit and banana bread were delicious and our girls loved the fussball table. Close to Akaka Falls which are definitely worth visiting. We stocked up on groceries from the supermarkets in Hilo and Waimea and enjoyed BBQ each night, as the house isn't close to any restaurants. Bob and Sandy allowed us our privacy, but were easily contactable should we need anything.

This was our first visit to Hawaii. It was so nice to be able to come back to this home after our long days of exploring. The oversized shower was very appealing at the end of days of walking on the volcano and visiting local tide pools. The bed was comfortable and we both slept very soundly every night. We did not end up using the kitchen area, but everything seemed very clean and user friendly. The total privacy we were afforded was very welcome.

We spent 9 days at Hawaii Paradise by the Sea. Bob and Sandy are wonderful hosts and made us feel very welcome. The house is beautiful and the kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes and cooking utensils. I would recommend this rental to family and friends. We will be staying here in future vacations to the Island of Hawaii.

Four of us stayed at Hawaii Paradis By the Sea and were very pleased. The description and photos of the rental was very accurate. It was very spacious. The property was very clean and well cared for. We were fortunate to spend some time with Bob as Sandy had to be gone for a family emergency and he was very knowlegable and helpful. We would highly recommend this property as a place near the attractions for Hilo. We the drive out going to the southern most point of the U.S.A., the Volcano Museum, the Tsunami Museum, the historical museum in Hilo, and driving on the waterfront of Hilo.

Hawaii Paradise by the Sea is a marvellous place! My wife and I spent five days there and we found it much too short!! Having breakfast on the lanai with the ocean view is definitely a great moment. The house is impeccable, very comfortable and well-equipped. The owners are charming people. We highly recommend this place.

We couldn't have asked for a better vacation home in paradise! Prior to our stay, Bob & Sandy were very helpful in sending us information on places to visit and to eat. The place was luxurious with all the amenities of home. We enjoyed shopping locally and cooking in our place after the fun-filled outings over the island. Our fabulous host and hostess who made our visit very welcome with a refrigerator filled with the local tropical fruits which we enjoyed with our breakfasts as well as home-made bread. There's even a public beach park down the street where the old sugar plantation used to be and it seems only the local knows about it! Thank you Bob & Sandy!
