Family Friendly Home, with a Man Cave!

Traveling with the family or taking time for yourself, you'll love coming home to this beautiful home. Three bedrooms each with their own ensuite custom marble bathroom. Just a short walk to the Makuu cliffs to watch the whales go by. The Asian inspired decor is stunning. I have collected art throughout Asia and you are sure to enjoy the many carvings and paintings.

The landscaped property has many fruit trees for you to "pick" from. I have bikes for your use to explore the area.
The home is located in the Hawaiian Paradise Park subdivision. Centrally located to the airport, 20 minutes, lava flow 30 minutes and Volcano National Park 30 minutes.

Awesome place to stay when in Hilo. Has everything you need to keep everyone entertained even when you are at the property. Billiards, dart board and basketball hoop kept the kids busy. Also, had bikes to ride to go to the beach nearby and tour the neighborhood. But the best thing about this place was that you can try the fruits from the trees in the backyard. Bananas, pineapples, strawberry guavas and passion fruits. Very delicious!Howard was a great host as he was very accommodating and answered all our questions and was very friendly when I went over to meet him. We would stay here again if we ever go back to Hilo.Mahalo plenty!

Beautiful house with plenty of space. Outdoor equipment (bikes, surfboards etc) available. The neighborhood was nice and an easy walk to the ocean, but a bit of a drive to get to a town for groceries and supplies. Good communication and suggestions from the host.

Beautiful house for vacation and retreat

The place is located in a quiet and peaceful area. It is only about 20 minutes from Hilo. The place is amazingly beautiful and spacious. It is filled with arts the owner collecting from traveling many places in the world. The house is fully equipped for both short-term and long-term stay. The garden is beautiful with many fruit trees to admire. Highly recommend for travelers/visitors looking for quietness, peace, and nature beauty.

Great house and host with caveats.

House was well kept and clean. Layout was great for us, beds were comfortable. The multiple patios were wonderful and the majority of our time at the house was spent at one. Loved having the bikes and would ride to Paradise Point in the mornings to catch sunrise. It really doesn’t get any better.So the caveat…no where in the current listing does it mention no AC. Mornings and evenings are fine. But if you’re there in the late afternoon, it’s uncomfortably warm in the house (if leaving house earlier in the day and closing sliding doors per owners directions).Yes, there’s some warning about bugs. We didn’t find them bad, and if you’ve ever lived in a hot humid location, it shouldn’t bother you. But if that’s a foreign concept to you, take warning.

Great hideaway on Hilo side of Island

Spacious, clean, furnished "home" located in quiet area. Host very responsive to inquiries and requests. Fully furnished with sports equipment. Property full of fauna that produces fruit (albeit we were there at low season) One drawback - house is located some time from Hilo (depending on traffic) so plan your excurstions accordingly

Beautiful, quiet neighborhood.

The property was stunning. The ocean is only a few minute walk which we all enjoyed after dinner. The view and ocean sounds from the lanai was wonderful anytime of the day. The Weber grill made it perfect for grilling dinner every night. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms in each bedroom were large. My wife likes to bird and there were no shortage of birds on the property. There are no negatives to say only positives. We truly enjoyed our stay and would choose to stay here again if we return to the big island. Thank you Howard for the wonderful hospitality.

Christmas break on the Big Island

This property was perfect!! Close enough to everything while keeping us out of the busy tourist areas. The home was clean and cozy. Howard was away for the holiday. But, left us with contact info and a binder full of his island favorites. We particularly appreciated the instructions left by him that took us to the Puna trail, which led us to a private(ish) beach. There, we got to view the sea turtles soaking up the sun. We loved staying here, and plan on returning again in there future! Mahalo Howard!!

Amazing stay in Hilo!

We had such a wonderful time at this home! It was incredibly spacious, giving our whole family plenty of room to relax and enjoy ourselves. The place was spotless, and the attention to detail made it feel comfortable and inviting. The open layout allowed us to gather and spend quality time together, and we loved how close it was to all the beautiful spots in Hilo. It truly felt like a home away from home, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, spacious, and fun stay with family! family!!

May 2024: Concerns with property

The positives: listing was accurate. Man-cave is renovated garage and has many activities and items to borrow for outdoor lifestyle. Serious considerations: No air conditioning (I should have confirmed before renting). Washer / dryer outside of home which added to bugs getting in house. There is a cockroach infestation in one of the upper bedrooms. Hundreds of them come in through bathroom light in ceiling at dusk. We had to close bathroom door and not use bathroom. This issue is not just living in Hawaii, this is a serious problem for the home. The hammock rope broke (very old and frayed) and my husband fell and hurt his hip when the rope snapped in use. Black mold in two ceiling areas in garage. Master bedroom is room off garage and was not clean (like it had not been fully dusted in a long time. Screens for doors and windows had tears, or did not set in tracks correctly when closing, which let more bugs in the house. Fire alarms disabled (one in bedroom was gone with wires hanging out of wall).

Hawai’i paradise

We had a tournament in Hilo so we decided to stay at another location close to Hilo since we’ve recently stayed in Hilo. The location was great! 2-3 minute mile ride to wonderful beach views. The house was big and spacious! Every room had its own private full bath and balcony! The amenities were great, from the game room to the snorkel gear to the bikes provided! There was a Sunday market no more than 8 minutes away that was great! All in all if I come back to the big island I’m staying here again.
