Embrace the soothing trade winds & let the ocean breeze carry your worries away

We look forward to welcoming you to the Big Island of Hawaii. The Ocean View Tropical Ranch provides a private vacation retreat with all the comforts of home for visitors and travelers to the Big Island of Hawaii seeking an alternative to the 'resort' atmosphere, where you won’t feel like a tourist.

Our Ocean View Tropical Ranch is a luxurious 2-bedroom, 1 full bath resort-style guest house located in one of Hilo’s premier subdivisions. Our guest house is truly a tropical paradise with a very spacious living area. The guest house covered lanai opens to a beautiful manicured 5 acres of mesmerizing views of pastureland merging with the endless expanse of the ocean, commanding jaw-dropping vistas of the Pacific Ocean, Hilo Bay, and the stunning coastline. The guest house offers a lifestyle that embraces both country living and the conveniences of being in town.

The guest house features a fully equipped kitchen (including an electrical range, rice cooker, blender, toaster, coffee maker, washer and dryer, cooking utensils, etc.), a queen-size pull-out sofa bed, high-speed internet, and a 70” LCD High-Definition TV with Hulu live TV, Hulu on demand, ESPN, Disney+, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. The larger bedroom is equipped with a comfortable King Size bed and a 58” High-Definition equipped with Hulu live TV, Hulu on demand, ESPN, Disney+, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. The second bedroom is equipped with a comfortable Queen Size bed and a 32” TV equipped with Hulu live TV, Hulu on demand, ESPN, Disney+, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. The guest house is also equipped with smart locks, smart smoke/carbon monoxide detector, fire extinguisher, and baby proof outlet covers (available when needed). Finally, for guests travelling with babies and infants, we offer a clean and extremely well-maintained Pack-N-Play with removable changing stations and napper.

The guest house has its own private entrance, parking, and it is protected with 24/7 security monitoring for the protection of our guest and our property (there are no cameras inside the guest house).

The guest house is located on a private road approximately three miles from downtown Hilo. It's more than a beautiful place to stay, it’s a lifestyle. You'll experience charming “Old Hawaii” where life is slow and easy. Our property allows you to relax in style or pursue a variety of adventures right outside. The landscaped grounds and naturalistic setting capture the tranquility and beauty of the islands where travelers can relax and experience the true Hawaii where the locals live.

Your host resides in the main house of the property and will personally greet you and handle your personalized access when you arrive. Your host will answer questions you may have, assist you with any special needs and help you plan your stay. Your host is also happy in sharing tips on where to visit, how to get there, where to lunch and favorite local dining spots.

The property is within walking distance of a very picturesque area of East Hawaii surrounded by streams, waterfalls and off a quiet street perfect for walking or jogging. A private serene open to views of the garden with beautiful ocean view below for ultimate relaxation. Our Retreat is a perfect Hawaiian getaway for couples celebrating their special occasion and is centrally located making it an ideal home base while exploring exotic points of interest on the island.

Hilo is famous for its warm aloha spirit, relaxed lifestyle, unique shops, art galleries and restaurants with local regional cuisine. Local attractions include Lyman Museum, East Hawaii Cultural Center, historic Palace Theatre, Pacific Tsunami Museum, Imiloa Astronomy Center, UH Hilo Performing Arts Center and Hawaii Tropical Botanical Gardens. Hilo Farmer's Market is a favorite for fresh, local produce. The Merrie Monarch Festival, Hilo's premier hula competition, and cultural events are held annually in April. East Hawaii's black sand beaches and freshwater pools are some of the bests for snorkeling, diving, surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, swimming with turtles and tropical fish, or watching the whales offshore. Take a helicopter volcano tour or a short scenic drive to active Kilauea volcano to view a lava flow, ride horses in Waipio Valley or tour the summit and view the night skies of Mauna Kea.

Weddings, graduations, receptions, or large gatherings may be allowed with the owner's prior consent. Contact us in advance to facilitate your special occasion set in the privacy of the grounds and lovely gardens.
