About this property
Charming Historic Hilo House – Minutes to Beach!
Hula your way to Hawaiian paradise when you book this fully restored 1960's vacation rental house! This 3-bedroom, 2-bath Hilo home features a covered lanai and peek-a-boo ocean views from the yard. The University of Hawaii campus is a mere 1 block away while downtown Hilo is just an 8-minute drive north. Relax at Reeds Bay Beach Park, visit Coconut Island, or get a bird's-eye view of the island from a helicopter. Don't forget about Rainbow Falls home to an ancient Hawaiian goddess!
