House of Paddles - Large Private Home with Pool.

This was the perfect place to go to be able to unwind and relax and enjoy the island. The house was beautiful! Pictures do not do it justice. Also, close enough to any stores if we needed anything but had a completely private feel to it. Corey was great to respond to any needs or questions. I would recommend this to anyone considering going to the big island. Thank you so much for giving us a place to have the most unforgettable vacation!

The House of Paddles provided perfect accommodations for our group of 7 adults. The private entrance gate opens to a lush garden area, creating a welcoming environment each time you return. The architecture of the house is also quite charming - not your typical cookie-cutter design.

The entire home is beautifully decorated and feels very comfortable. Beds are large and cozy. Rooms have plenty of closet and storage space for belongings. Common areas provide plenty of room for everyone. Ample ceiling fans throughout the home and additional floor fans keep the temperature cool, even in the muggy weather.

The forecast during our trip was wet and cloudy, but the massive wall facing the pool opens up to frame the beautiful trees and endless rainbows. Lots of lovely trails nearby to explore.

The mother-in-law unit allowed a private space for our parents and includes a separate entrance. They enjoyed their unique outside shower experience.

The outdoor carport was the perfect, private space to toss down the yoga mat and get in some early morning exercise, while taking in the amazing view. Pool toys, bikes and beach gear are provided for use.

The home is a short country drive (about 20 min) from Hilo activities and does require a car. There is ample parking.

Cory is an excellent host! He was friendly, easy to reach and responsive when we needed to contact him. We highly recommend the House of Paddles if you are looking for unique accommodations with an authentic, exotic Hawaiian feel. 💜

This house was way too much for just my wife and I. However we made do... LOL. The landscaping was picturesque and had a level of quality from the security gate and throughout the property. The property although open was very private and secluded.

The house was unspeakable and pictures just don't do this estate justice. It was so nice and relaxing. From the comfortable leather seating in the living room to the patio furniture around the pool. And then to have the ability to open up the whole wall near the pool allowed fresh air to flow freely through the house. At night we were lullabied to sleep by the sounds of the birds chirping back and forth. It really was heaven on earth and felt like we were in the middle of a rain forest.

The house is spectacular. It’s a little out of the way but that’s what we were looking to do. The views of the volcano at night were incredible. If you are looking for activities to do as a tourist it’s an hour and a half each way to Kona.

Thank you Cory for allowing us the use of your amazing home.

Enjoyed my stay here at the House of Paddles! Especially the pool :)
