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.

Great Place

This was perfect for us - 4 people (2 couples). House has everything you need and the Lanai with a view is awesome. Great to walk around and enjoy the neighborhood. Loved the whole area - close to volcano park, Hilo, Pahoa etc. We hated leaving so much, we booked it again for next year!

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.

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.

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.

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.

A very welcoming home, with great open spaces and nice decor. The location was perfect for us as we explored the coast to the south and north. Great view of the ocean, quiet, and with the sound of the birds and frogs...very relaxing sitting out on the lanai!

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.

Great Place to Stay

This spacious home is a great place to stay for a short or long vacation! All the comforts of home, sparkling clean, and a location that can’t be beat! We loved the area, it’s away from the city but also very accessible to Hilo, with easy access to Volcano National Park as well. This is a lovely place to take peaceful walks and see the waves crashing along the cliffs. The information the owner provided was very clear and helpful.

The house is spacious and clean with many amenities. Comfortable beds and fans in every room. Covered parking is a bonus. Beautiful, quiet neighborhood with wonderful walking opportunities. But best of all, the large lanai with the ocean across the street!

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!

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.

The rental is as described. Very spacious-lots of room for luggage. The lanai is wonderful and we saw lots of whales!!! Take a short walk on the road (very little car traffic, used mostly by pedestrians) for amazing views of ocean waves crashing against the lava cliffs.

Relaxing and peaceful

This was a wonderful place to stay. Very peaceful. Breathtaking view from the house. It is Hawaii so no A/C but fans are sufficient when you open the windows. It is a ways out from town but that’s what I loved the most. Island vibes. The owner is great.
