About this property
Private home across the street from the beach. Minutes from downtown Hilo
This extraordinary property is across the street from the most beautiful beaches in Hilo. This property, with multiple Ka Wai Ola, (Living Springs) offers you all that Hawaii Island has to offer. Once only a place for Hawaii's royalty, we offer this very special property with historical and cultural significance. Beautiful ocean, offering wonderful views and the sweet sound of waves breaking on the rocks. The pristine ponds on the property rise and fall with the tide where you can swim and lounge in privacy.
Newly remodeled, and renovated, designed by Keala Wolf, and maintaining the look and feel of the "old Hawaii", there's no better place to experience what it means to be part of the Hawaiian culture. Immerse yourself in a magical place, and find the peace only available by the ocean in Leleiwi on Hawaii island.
The Nature Conservancy along with the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and the University of Hawaii at Hilo are conducting a global climate study at this very special property.
**Each bedroom has Air Conditioning Double pane windows and Private bathroom. **All bedrooms have Serta Presidential mattresses. **Custom Living Room Furniture. **Reclaimed teak dinning table sitting 8. **Bar B Que **Hardwood floors
A new security system looks out onto the grounds and street beyond. No cameras see the house or lanai.
The house has an unusual configuration. The back two bedrooms, each with their own bathroom and A/C, are accessed from the covered lanai, and therefore have their own entrances. Tweens and teenagers love it, but it might be inappropriate for small children. We have an unfenced pond so you have to keep an eye on them. Nevertheless we have hosted many.

This property is fantastic. The setting is incomparable, on lagoons and surrounded by dense rainforest.Pepe was extremely responsive to any issues. The house is better appointed than any other rental property I’ve ever stayed in.
Nicely furnished, and spacious unit with beautiful lanai overlooking a natural titled pond. Each of the bedrooms had first class feds and Full en suite bathrooms. Very effective air conditions for all bedrooms. The location is amazing – right across the street from a beautiful beach with excellent snorkeling and tide pools.
We had a great stay and this property had lots of great things going for it. Pepe, the host was very helpful and even provided his cell phone number so that you could reach him directly verus using the cumbersome VRBO chat system. The highlights of our stay include the perfect location right across the street from a very nice park with a small sandy beach for easy access to the lagoon but also rocks in the deep areas for good snorkeling. The property is very scenic with it's small ponds and very good setback from the road. The property is gated for security and the 3 bedrooms have their own entrances to the deck that surrounds the house which gives lots of privacy.
The home is located across the street from a beach park, with additional parks a short walk away. Downtown Hilo is a short drive. This location was perfect for us. The parks offered sea turtles, swimming and snorkeling opportunities, and a great view of Hawaiian life. The home itself was clean and offered all of the amenities we needed. Two of the bedrooms are accessed from doors off the wraparound deck/porch and lock individually. This provided privacy four our two older (young adult) children. Each bedroom in the home has its own bathroom as well. The pond in front offered Kai the koi fish and attracted other wildlife, which was fun to watch.Certain basic groceries were present in the kitchen, which was very helpful as well. The homeowner was responsive and friendly.
Loved this property. They did an amazing remodel recently and it was top notch. I can’t say enough good things about this property. Loved loved loved it.
This was the perfect house for the 4 of us. The location is very close to the park and beaches. The kids enjoyed their private bed and bath. We all very much enjoyed the porch to watch the ocean overlooking the pond with the koi. So relaxing! The owner was also fantastic. Our questions were answered almost immediately! Thank you so much!
the property was very clean. we have been to Hawaii the last 4 years and this is by far the best place we have stayed in. The pictures on VRBO are just like the place looks.
We loved the relaxed atmosphere of the area and the house was beautiful! I would go back again! Pepe made it so easy for us to get into the house (we got in rather late on our first day). Awesome home and property manager.
Our stay at the lovely healing pond house in Hilo was amazing!
It was everything that we hoped it would be. It was clean, updated, in a beautiful location, close to snorkeling and town. Swimming in the pond was a wonderful experience as well. We would definitely recommend it and stay there again.

Nicki and her family were delightful to meet and fun to host.
We had a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful. The kitchen was well equipped. The grounds were so pretty. We saw turtles in the ocean right across the street. Our group was 6 adults(3 couples) and there was plenty of room for us to be together or to have a quiet spot. Highly recommend this place. Pepe our host was easy to contact.
We loved this property!! It was very clean and very well stocked and it was ideal for our group. We were a group of 6 adults and the set up was perfect. Two people per bedroom with plenty of gathering space inside and out. We took advantage of the proximity to the beach park and swam there everyday after exploring other sites in Hilo. I would highly recommend this property and I would love to stay there again!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. There were several different areas for us to hang out, separately or together. I absolutely loved the front porch area, which had a view of the ocean. We also enjoyed the pond in the front’s front, complete with resident koi. One of us even had a swim in it!
Order was very responsive with email queries prior to arrival.
Beautiful home in a fabulous location! Comfortable beds, AC in the bedrooms and Wi-Fi worked fine.lovely The spacious lanai was lovelyso that we could have pouring rain and sit in absolute comfort, looking at the ocean waves. Great beaches to swim and snorkel and play within walking distance and a very short drive to the Hilo airport. We loved watching Kai the Koi in the pond and enjoying the incredible pleasure of staying at this home! The host was extremely helpful and we had everything we needed! I may have also fallen in love with the walk-in shower: big and beautiful with instant hot water! We all love the place. The street in front of the house is busy and there are folks who party on nearby beaches. So if quiet is essential for you, then this location could be problematic. For us, it met our needs perfectly and we highly recommend it!!!
