ABOUT THIS AREA:
The SURFRIDER Beach house is located at Richardson beach in the town of Hilo. Because Hilo is a community and not a resort, it has an old-fashion comfortable feel. Visitors can take off their shoes and relax like the local people. Hilo is the second largest city, ranked below Honolulu in population and size. Visitors will find familiar services: movie theaters, shopping malls, grocery stores, retail chain stores, restaurants, and nightlife within Hilo. Beaches and beach parks comprise the Bay. It is a great place to learn about old Hawaii and the environmental and cultural forces that shaped it.
WEATHER
The temperature is mild throughout the year, averaging 72 degrees in winter months and 76 degrees in summer months. Most of the time, the temperature is a cool 74 degrees. The ocean breeze at Surfrider in conjunction with the mild temperature make for a comfortable and enjoyable island stay.
BEACHES, SNORKELING, SURFING:
The Hilo Bay is comprised of an oceanfront area laced with fish ponds, islands, and lava rimmed black and white sand beaches. For more information on our Big Island Beach Front homes, please call or see our private web site for more pictures and discounted information.
We look forward to hosting your stay!

"I've never enjoyed a trip so much! Thank you for making your Palms house available to us. We witnessed a mother whale and her baby playing in the ocean right in front of the house. It was an incredible and captivating show. We watched them frolic and play for nearly 3 hours from the lanai. The dolphins skipped by later in the day, and my son spotted a large sea turtle while walking along the coastline. What a fantastic wildlife experience. The house was so cool and comfortable, day and night. The gentle winds seems to blow in both directions throughout the day. This was our first trip to the Big Island, but certainly not our last. Thank you for the information on the new road to the Volcano Park. We packed dinner in the cooler and spent the evening watching the most magnificent glow. Please enroll us in your returning guest program. We intend to come back this winter. Many mahalos!" -Jan F. & Family, Portland, ORDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 5/7

"What a dream to wake to the sounds of waves and fall asleep under the stars. We shall forever remember the time we spent here. Thank you for opening your home to all who are lucky enough to pass this way. May the stars always shine at night and may luna always look down upon you. Bright blessings."

"Thank you so much for the lovely 8 Palms house! We found your house in a beautiful spot, meticulously clean, and just what we needed. Our only move-in crisis was quickly solved by your friend Samantha. We quickly determined that the downstairs toilet worked with no problems if one did not put too much toilet paper in before flushing! She even called our friend Lopaka on our way to dinner at his cousin's house in Volcano to check if all was well. We really enjoyed being at the house, and quickly got used to the drive from and to Hilo . The Merrie Monarch festival was fantastic. You might notice that we did not write in the guest book; we never do, but that does not mean we did not like your house! David and I have rented a lot of houses in Hawaii over the years; yours presented the fewest problems for us and your instructions and preparations for the house take the top prize. Your maintenance person came right over and solved the light sensor problems and also noticed that the hasp for the laundry room door was really rusted from the ocean air. He installed a new aluminum one which worked beautifully. He told us that his wife cleans the house. She is to be lauded for keeping your house so clean. Thank you again for a great week in Hilo!"
