Spacious and Lovely Ocean View Home

Hawaii STVR Reg. Number: STRV-19-348723
Hawaii NUCR Number: NUC-19-389

Come relax in our two-bedroom, two-bath house with a large ocean view lanai. The house is on a quiet street that runs along the ocean and has two parks within easy walking distance on the coast. You will often find there are more walkers than cars passing below our lanai. The house is very nice, offers views of the ocean from nearly every room, and the living room features Island style furniture. The master bedroom has a very comfortable king size bed with a large walk-in shower. The kitchen is fully equipped and has everything you will need to prepare the meals which you will likely enjoy while sitting on the lanai.

There aren't that many volcanoes in the world, and how many of them can you walk on? Speaking of which, the new East Rift Zone eruption has paused and all is quiet. But have no worries if the lava begins flowing again as our home is in a safe location with some of the best air on all of the Islands thanks to the trade winds. Hawaii National Park will be reopened soon – an easy one hour drive from our doorstep.

Pahoa with its mix of cowboy and Victorian character with wooden sidewalks is close by and has some of the best small restaurants in East Hawaii. The Maku’u Farmers Market on Sundays is close to our home and continues to thrive. While you are there you can pick up some produce or buy gifts for family and friends back home. Try some Lava Candy, local honey, and lilikoi jam.

Hilo has old-Hawaii storefronts and offers many attractions including swimming and snorkeling at safe beaches. It has a large Farmer’s Market on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Hilo has many cultural events (such as the Merrie Monarch Hula Festival and the Big Island Hawaiian Music Festival). If you have time you should check out the free Mokupapapa Discovery Center for Hawaii’s Remote Coral Reefs which is located in downtown Hilo.

There is much more to see and explore in East Hawaii — or you can just sit on the lanai, listen to the birds, watch the waves, and look for whales.
During your stay at this vacation home, you'll be close to Hobby Garden Hawaii. Laundry facilities are available. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the vacation home.
  • The vacation home offers a kitchen, a washing machine, and 2 bathrooms
  • Free WiFi
  • Amenities include laundry facilities
  • 20.2 mi (32.5 km) from Port of Hilo and 5.1 mi (8.3 km) from Hobby Garden Hawaii

We really enjoyed our stay at the location. The house is very well equipped and the owner was very responsive. We also enjoyed time with Sweet Pea the cat on the lanai. We met some of the neighbors and spent time with them. It is well located to explore the Hilo side of the island. We would strongly recommend the property to anyone.

Absolutely beautiful

The pictures do not do this place justice. It is beautiful inside and the view is awesome. Kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook or even bake. Even though the weather was mostly showers or rain everyday, it was perfect lying out on the covered lanai. The resident kitty,Sweet Pea, was such a love. Much Mahalo Deb!!

Relaxation near Maku'u Point

My daughter and I stayed here for a week and had a wonderful time! The house is fully stocked with everything you need. The view of the ocean from the deck is stunning. We fell in love with the outdoor resident kitty, Sweet Pea. We looked forward to her daily visits and cuddles. Thank you Debbie for sharing your happy place with us.

Great Stay!

This property is well kept, spacious, and mostly private. The ocean views are amazing! It was rainy when we were there, so we did not spend a lot of time out by the ocean, but the surf was high and the waves raging. Would recommend if wanting to spend time at Volcano National Park or Hilo area.

Tree frog songs and lots of space

Lovely, spacious home with a very convenient kitchen. Communication with the hosts was excellent. Tree frogs sing loudly at night--we loved it. The pool looked lovely, but as it was rainy, we didn't get to enjoy it. Small downsides: we were there during a rare "Kona low". The humidity was very high, and as the house lacks an air conditioner, it was not comfortable for several hours through the night, especially because we had to keep the windows closed (understandably, so the rain wouldn't come in!). Though we were there in the "off season", we found it took a bit longer than we expected to get to Volcanoes Park (which we did twice during the 3 days we were there). Since we were on vacation, and not so much on a schedule, it ended up being ok. Oh, and we enjoyed access to ocean overlooks!!! Thanks for a lovely stay!

Everything was better than advertised. The home was beautiful, comfortable and very well equipped. Our host was available and prompt to answer questions. The crashing waves during high surf days were spectacular! We even found the petroglyph across the street. We will stay here again for sure!

Great location for us. Private, quiet, view and sound of the ocean, peaceful, little traffic.

Great place to relax and calm down. Loved the resident cat, who was tame and loved attention. Access to large grocery stores within 10 to 15 minutes.

A Great Location on the East Side of the Island

This house is very nice. Lots of space and huge lanai, which is where we spent most of our time. The view of the ocean was just as pictured and you can hear it from the lanai.

Absolutely lovely home!

We were celebrating 30th and 50th anniversaries, and the 4 of us loved this home! The view of the ocean was amazing, the house was incredibly well-equipped with almost anything you could need in the kitchen, including spices, furniture was comfortable, lanai was huge and the neighborhood is quiet. Close enough to many amazing Big Island sights - Kilauea erupted while we were there! We would stay again in a second, and the price couldn't be beat!

Debbie: Thank you for the rental of your property, the location is wonderful and quite. The property is well suited for a Hilo get away, it is very well supplied for meal preparation and it is very relaxing to sit on the lanai while viewing the ocean and feeling the breeze, raining or not.

A great 2-week stay

The house has a huge lanai where we spent hours and hours. You can see the ocean through the trees across the street. And of course, you can hear it. Awesome! Inside the house, there was everything you can possibly need. Tons of kitchen gadgets and appliances, if you are going to cook your meals. Great laundry room. Nice towels and bedding. Comfy bed. We had a great 2 weeks here!

A Quiet and Peaceful Haven

My husband and I relaxed and rested as we acclimated to the time change. The ocean is across the street and close enough to hear the waves. Our hostess warned us about an upcoming tropical depression and made suggestions on how to prepare. We recommend Deb and her lovely house. Sweet Pea, her outside cat, is an added bonus.

This 2 bd 2 bath house was perfect for me and my family. Debbie the owner was readily available to communicate before during and after my booking. The house had everything we needed including a few beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkel gear and even umbrellas since Hilo gets A LOT of rain. It was a great stay.

I booked this house for my friends (2 couples), though we spent the evenings together. Debbie's house is amazing! Spacious, nicely decorated, and well equipped. My friends cooked every day, and they had everything in the kitchen they needed. During our Hawaiian island hopping trip this place was far the best. Debbie is super nice, and the communication was perfect from the very beginning.

Beautiful house

We absolutely loved staying here. The house was beautiful and clean in a very peaceful setting. If I ever get back to the big island this will definitely be my first choice to stay. It was well stocked and very comfortable. Just like anywhere else on the island the Koki frogs are a little loud at night but a pair of earplugs takes care of the sound.

18th trip to Hawaii and as good as the first!

Everything about this property was perfect for us. The quiet location, the cleanliness of the house, the excellent communication from the host, the beautiful ocean view. Close enough to Pahoa to make a quick run to the store yet far enough that we didn't worry about any hustle or bustle. Even felt our 1st earthquake last night. Would definitely stay at this property again.

From the time we entered the house it felt comfortable. Two of us have been to Island of Hawaii numerous times. We chose this location to spend more time on this part of the island. Good location for this. Still short drive to the volcano. Would consider coming back to this house should we stay in this area again. Thanks for the good time.

Best VRBO ever

Everything was perfect from beginning to end plus we had an added bonus of Kitty visits and pantry of condiments and delights including bottled water. The house was immaculate, the beds were so comfortable, all was as advertised but even more. Instructions for what to do and everywhere we could possibly go. We went from the beaches of the Big Island to the Volcano's. I would recommend this to anyone who could understand the value of the history and geography the Big Island. From booking to check out this was a perfect and reasonable and beautiful house with a lovely porch and a fantastic view of the Ocean!
