Located within minutes from downtown HIlo in a very quiet neighborhood, a short walk to a surfing beach and swimming river park… it’s everything for a group getaway. Both upstairs and downstairs have full ocean views, with relaxing lanai furniture. Full kitchens in both units, washer and dryer on site… with stocked amenities. A 3-minute walk takes you to watch surfers at Honoli'i Beach or to jump in the adjoining river for a refreshing swim. Explore the Big Island from the convenience of Hilo, or treat your stay like a resort vacation with the swimming pool just steps from your door. The upstairs is airy and grand with unending ocean views; the downstairs is a more modest but also spacious fully stocked unit. Together there are 3 bedrooms and 2 sofabeds. Kitchens: Full-sized appliances, microwave and toaster oven, garbage disposal. Amenities and supplies cover basic needs, and we can also help with special requests if you can give us advance notice. Living rooms: Each with a sofabed that sleeps two, 55-inch TV with digital channels (Spectrum) and internet connection to let you sign-in to your streaming services. Dining area: Comfortably seats 4, as well as a breakfast counter in kitchen, and remote-controlled fan/light. Lanai (porch): seats that look to the pool or ocean. Pool: remodeled in October 2021, has a bahama (seating in shallow water) area and plenty of poolside lounging areas. Guests are given priority and exclusive use of pool (not shared while guests present). Yard: very expansive grassy yard with unblocked ocean views. Guests are given priority and exclusive use of pool (not shared while guests present). We provide linen (including beach towels), basic bathroom amenities, and can provide a pack-n-play, high chair or bbq grill upon request. Parking is available in our gated driveway that we share with our guests. We do recommend a local car rental company if you plan to explore the Big Island (they aren't kidding when they say big). We encourage guests to research and expect that we live on the ocean in a tropical climate--Hilo is the more humid side of Big Island, which we love for the soft air, but can mean more rainfall. Birds, geckos and insects are common and will occasionally sneak close to the house. Though they are harmless, we take great pains to keep our house pest-free and pride ourselves on keeping a clean home. Coqui frogs are now a characteristic of HIlo, they are never seen but gently sing every night for a few hours starting at dusk. Expect to fall asleep to the sound of waves every night... and every day is a chance to watch the sun start a new day if you want to wake up that early! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Unit size: 4,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/68000000/67420000/67419000/67418953/85204c97.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spectacular Views!

I loved the view and ocean sounds, the kids loved the pool. The singing frogs at night do take some getting used to (for city dwellers!) but add to the charm. This is a very special and secluded-feeling retreat, but close to all the great things Hilo has to offer! Ken's Pancakes and Cafe Pesto were favorite eats, and we enjoyed an adventure in Kaumana Caves too. ##### Rae N.

The kids had a great time in the pool with the pool toys and variable depth water. We slept well at night in the comfy bed to the sounds of crashing waves and coqui frogs (they’re noisy but we loved it). The kids liked the couch bed. The space was open feeling, easy to access, very clean and well-appointed. Plenty of dishes, cooking gear, board games, art supplies, and other helpful odds and ends. It was easy to get to attractions around Hilo, Volcanoes Nat’l Park, etc. There was a helpful guide book by the hosts. The check-in/check-out process was easy. We would definitely stay again! ##### Erin B. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alicia C.

I could sit on the lounge chairs, watching the exhale of the humpbacks all day. Mari was very responsive and place was very clean. Just keep in mind you can lightly hear the footsteps, muffled conversations, etc of the owners above. The crashing waves mostly drowned out the normal “above your head “ noises. I would absolutely, highly recommend this paradise like place. ##### Alicia C. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela H. Aug 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Trip This property is VERY large and comfortable. Pictures on listing are accurate. I was worried about not having AC as we stayed in August. It wasn't an issue. The frogs are loud. I used ear plugs the first night but got used to the little froggies quickly. The private pool was great. I figured the pool would be too cold to swim in as it rains most nights, but it was quite comfortable. I would guess the pool water was around 85F. There is a small black sand beach right down the street with lots of surfers. Take some water shoes as the black sand is not soft. The property is very close to Hilo and about 45 minutes to Volcano National Park. We didn't speak to the owners, just waived to them as we walked by their windows. We did hear them walking around some during the day, but no noise at night. The walkway down to the unit is very steep. This would not be appropriate for anyone with even slight mobility issues. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend this unit. ##### Pamela H. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacob R.

Oct 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The sound of surf We stayed at this lovely place for 5 days in Oct. Pros: - very clean; not fancy, but nice - nice appliances; well stocked kitchen - nicely landscaped yard with stunning ocean views and the lights of Hilo across the water at night - great communication from hosts - large windows/ sliding doors facing the ocean so great views even while eating or relaxing inside - comfy lounge chairs in the shade and by the pool - free use of the pool whenever we wanted (but we needed to skim it first because of many little bugs floating in the water) -wonderful ocean views, and that lovely sound of the surf crashing - walking distance to a surfing beach, not swimmable for us but neat to watch the surfers - quiet residential neighborhood but convenient to Hilo for groceries/ restaurants - quite a bit to see and do in the area and not as rainy as I was expecting Cons: - the frogs are very loud at night. My husband had no problem falling asleep and staying asleep. I had to sleep with a pillow covering my ears. Bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper - this is a lower floor unit so sometimes at night/ early morning I could hear people walking overhead or chairs being moved around. Ear plugs would have fixed that. -no laundry so fine for 5 days but not great for a longer visit ##### Lori J. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary B.
