Paradise Bluff: Cliffside Home w/Gorgeous Ocean Views and Tropical Garden
Paradise Bluff is a beautiful home perched on the cliffs of the small seaside town of Laupahoehoe. Relax, take a deep breath, and enjoy the Aloha spirit and traditions of the Big Island of Hawaii. Located on the spectacular Hamakua Coast between Hilo and Waimea, Paradise Bluff spans 288 ft. of coastline and overlooks historical Laupahoehoe Point. The sweeping 180-degree views of the Pacific Ocean, tropical gardens, and private decks all combine to make a uniquely-breathtaking retreat. You may use this awesome home as a convenient jumping-off point to many of the famous Big Island sites, or you may simply choose to escape from it all, relax on the lanais, and enjoy the exotic birds, crashing blue surf, swaying palm trees, and rainbow-colored geckos. Paradise Bluff is a destination in itself.
Paradise Bluff features a luxurious top floor Master suite, complete with a king sized bed, wall-mounted flat screen TV, large walk-in shower (with two shower heads), elegant ”spa-like” bathroom, coffee station and fridge, private deck, and an oversized dressing room. The bedroom's vaulted ceilings and ceiling fan help circulate the ocean breezes. The huge sun deck allows for private sunbathing with spectacular views of Laupahoehoe Point in the distance. A unique spiral staircase connects the top floor with the main floor.
The spacious main floor has a newly-remodeled kitchen with island bar, separate dining room, large living room, utility/laundry room, and two more bedrooms with king sized beds, flat screen TV's and beautiful en-suite bathrooms with showers. The large dining room has a vaulted ceiling and a solid mango table that seats six.
Two more decks (one covered and one sun deck) are located off the living room. The covered wrap-around deck has an elegant teak dining table for six. Step down to the smaller lower deck to find the Weber gas grill and a chaise lounge for sun-bathing. All the decks are newly tiled and overlook the water; it really feels like you’re living in the Presidential Suite on the forward bow of a cruise ship – without the crowds and buffets!
Laupahoehoe is a small town with its roots in the sugar-industry. Today, it has a beautiful beach park, post-office, police station, one restaurant, Train Museum, and a fantastic open-air eight-lane public swimming pool (with lifeguard) that is free to the public. Just a few minutes away is the recently-renovated 100 year old Papaaloa Country Store and Café with its a fabulous bakery, sandwiches, and burgers, along with a wide selection of groceries and fresh produce.
About 20 minutes’ drive north is Honokaa Town, the gateway to famed Waipio Valley. Honokaa has several good shops and restaurants and a wonderful FirstFriday art and shop walk the first Friday of every month. Hilo, 35 minutes to the south and Waimea, 45 minutes to the northwest, both provide a variety of restaurants, shops, nightlife and unique local attractions like zip-lining, botanical gardens, and farmer's markets. One hour west of Paradise Bluff is the famous Hapuna Beach and several world-class beach resorts with great golf courses.

This is the 2nd time we've stayed here, and it was once again, great. Peaceful location and the home itself has everything we needed and more. If you are looking for an incredible view, peace and quiet (except for ocean waves), and a beautiful home, this is it.

This was our favorite VRBO experience we have ever had. I surprised my family with this rental, and they were blown away by that view. The house is big, clean and comfortable. It was full of beautiful furniture. So many places to sit, relax and enjoy the view. I would recommend.

10-Star Stay in Laupāhoehoe!We spent 4 wonderful nights at this amazing waterfront condo in Laupāhoehoe near Hilo, and it was absolutely perfect. The setting is breathtaking—right on the ocean with beautiful views and the most peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. We loved sitting on the lanai listening to the waves, and we were even lucky enough to spot whales passing by!The condo was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. It truly felt like a home away from home. The location was ideal for exploring the Hilo side of the Big Island, with easy access to waterfalls, scenic drives, and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.The hosts were fantastic, communication was easy, and check-in was seamless. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would return in a heartbeat. This one deserves more than 10 stars—highly recommend!

Perfect home for 3 couples as each have a bedroom and private bath. There was a great 6 seat indoor table as well as outdoor table that comfortably accommodated our meals together. The kitchen was well stocked with all the pots, pans, etc you need to cook full meals. The grill outside worked well for us as well. The only thing missing was there were only 5 drink glasses, so one person didn’t get a glass. The views were very nice. The bathrooms were clean and had a new feel to them with the tile work and vanities. The towels and bed linens were great. 2 of the 3 bedrooms had air conditioning. All bedrooms had televisions as well as a large tv in the den. We even used the full size washer and dryer. They also had 2 ice chests available with several frozen ice packs in the freezer to use. The driveway accommodates 2 cars only and there is no street parking.

We stayed for 5 nights. The house is lovely, clean, very well equipped. There are thoughtful additions like coolers and ice packs, beach towels, aloe for sunburn! The location is quiet and furnished tastefully, beds also v comfortable. We loved driving all over and seeing the island. If you don’t like driving a lot there isn’t much activity in the immediate neighborhood.

Mahalo for your review, Sakiko! Coqui song backed by rain on a tin roof is the night time soundtrack of our unique jungle home. We love it! But it may not be for everyone, as you point out. We are glad you otherwise enjoyed the accommodations!!
Mahalo nui for your review, Niral! We apologize for the lack of condiments... in these pandemic times we feel it's best to err on the side of caution and ask our housekeepers to remove anything from the home that could be contaminated. It's not always an easy call to make, so we encourage guests to pick up anything they know that they will need during their stay. We are so glad you enjoyed your visit and would love to welcome you back, anytime!
