VIEWS and WILDLIFE The view from the property is very special – you’ll be treated to the drama of the waves, white fluffy clouds, beautiful sunrises, passing cruise ships in the distance, and our version of backyard wildlife. Sea turtles, dolphins, whales (Nov-May), and even the occasional manta ray can be spotted from the oceanfront. Mynas, doves, cardinals, geese, great frigatebird, and other birds occasionally drop in for a visit and provide a source of entertainment.

The house was exactly as described in the description. Beautiful view, clean pool and hot tub. It's located in a nice neighborhood and there are excellent parks on either end of the street.
Beautiful location and the house had everything we needed. The AC in the bedrooms worked great. The hot tub was very nice while listening to the crashing waves.
A little slice of paradise! The home was clean and well stocked - lots of little extras like beach chairs, snorkels, lunch coolers, pool toys, umbrellas, etc - anything we could need! My four kids ages 9-15 absolutely loved the pool and hot tub. We enjoyed the beautiful view and quiet neighborhood.
Beautiful house and property. The pool amd hot tub were wonderful, since ot was chilly at night and hot during the day. We would stay again if we ever come back. Property manager was quick to respond. Had plenty of kitchen items to cook. We were entertained at night with the clue murder mystery games.
Great place to get away from the crowds on the Kona side of the Island with easy access to good local food/businesses and Volcanoes National Park. Definitely looking forward to staying here again.
This home was in a lovely, private community which provided us the privacy and space that made our vacation wonderful. There were so many thoughtful extras for making the beach easy, that it really made our time easy and less stressful. The private pool was well maintained and a huge part of making our stay comfortable and relaxing. It was easy distance to the volcanoes and close to stores and grocery when we needed them. We would definitely stay here again and loved our home away from home in Hawaii!
The property was a dream come true. Spacious home, a lot of the necessities were provided, the kids loved being in the pool while the adults enjoyed the sounds of the waves crashing against the cliff. The breeze from the ocean was amazing. The host was always quick to respond to all our questions and made us feel VERY welcomed. We will definitely rent this home for our next trip back to the Big Island.
We could'nt have had better weather and the property is comfortable and nicely furnished. Beautiful ocean views and neighborhood. Nicely landscaped. Communication with management A
Check-in was smooth with no issues. Easy to find property, lockbox, and layout. House had everything we needed. Ran into a smoke alarm issue, but the management team was on it and had it taken care of later the same day. Great location to stage out of for all your Volcano/Hilo area activities. Close to Pahoa Fresh Fish and Two Ladies Kitchen for mochi!
This place was the perfect landing zone for our trip to the National Park. Amazing sunrise and sunset views with sea turtles playing right out front. We really appreciated the well stoked hallway closet…the use of the cooler was so appreciated. Our group of 6 collectively agree this place is amazing and we’d come back again
The property is absolutely beautiful. The scenery is spectacular. The reservation was extremely easy. The managers were very communicative. Very easy to talk to neighborhood is absolutely beautiful. Neighbors are wonderful and gave us excellent places to eat.
10 out of 10 however we were expecting a normal air conditioning unit in house and but it was tiny portable units in bedrooms only which made house hot because when you left house you had to shut windows which made it extremely hot in house because there was no circulation. But other than that this house was amazing the pool was amazing the hot tub was amazing the host and property manager were both great as well.
Our group of 6 (kids ages 4 and 6, two parents, and two grandparents) had a great stay! The kids loved the pool, and the ocean views are beautiful. Great base for seeing the volcano!

About the host
Hosted by Terry Schoneberg
Why they chose this property
We chose this location mainly for the peaceful, oceanfront location and its proximity to many of East Hawaii's sights. The half-acre lot provides privacy and the opportunity to create a lush tropical landscape. We're constantly experimenting with plants that thrive in the oceanfront environment so our landscape is wonderfully evolving.
What makes this property unique
Relaxing in the pool and hot tub are our favorite activities when we visit the property. Especially enjoyable is hanging out in the hot tub in the evening while looking out at the stars and moon, smelling the ocean mist, and listening to the surf.
Having the full kitchen and grill provides us with the ability to create home-cooked meals while visiting.
