I've been a vacation rental property manager since 1996, and this is the best-equipped property Iâve ever seen. I always try to provide everything a guest might need at my own properties, but this one goes above and beyond! Peaceful and quiet.
I absolutely loved the location, on the Paradise Cliffs and right at the start of the trail to HÄâEna. Wow!!Also, the hosts' attention to detail ensured we had everything we could possibly need. I would love to stay here again.Thanks!!
This place is beautiful and spacious. The greatest thing for us traveling for long period was having washer and dryer within the unit. The house provides a beautiful sea view but is located at the end of the road, so you will be driving a couple of minutes from the main road.
We really enjoyed our stay in this cute little house. It was very, very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The bedroom also had an AC which worked great. In fact, after the first night, we felt it got cold and we ended up just opening the windows and turning the fans on. There were two bicycles with helmets for the guests to use which we happily did. And it was wonderful having a washer and dryer in the house itself. There was also a barbecue in the backyard, which was very clean and it was nice to be able to sit outdoors and enjoy the ocean view.You can hear the ocean waves from the bedroom and the coqui frogs were kept at a nice comfortable distance that they never were bothersome.We would stay with John and Maria again.
Just a great location, with miles of ocean front lava cliffs to explore right out the front door. The cottage is very charming, and extremely well equipped. We will be returning.
My wife and I had a great stay. Very peaceful and very beautiful. Very convenient to Volcano National Park and Hilo. We would absolutely stay there again.
Great Oceanside location. Host provided a clean, secure and comfortable place to stay. Great location from which to explore the Big Island. Great sunrises over the Pacific.
This property was great for what we needed - being right on the ocean was fantastic! John and Maria were wonderful, gracious hosts - had a fabulous time :)
This property in Hawaiian Paradise Park was off the beaten path and a beautiful, secluded spot on the black lava cliffs overlooking the ocean. Every morning we watch the sunrise and whales swim by everything was available in the house and our hosts are extremely helpful. Thanks for sharing your peace of paradise with us, we really enjoyed our visit.
The combination of the sunrise views and the waves crashing ashore made this a wonderful stay. The house was clean and very well appointed. There is all kinds of beach gear as well as two bikes for guest use.There are local frogs that are quite noisy at night.while.it is a bit of a drive to get anywhere but it is a beautiful drive. Would definitely stay again.
The ocean front view was amazing, not to mention listening to the waves crash at night. John and Maria are wonderful host the place was clean and had everything needed to cook your meals. It also had a propane barbecue for grilling outside something I like to do with the nice weather. They also provided bikes, chairs for the beach, snorkeling gear and a beach umbrella. We felt like we were at home with everything we needed. Mahalo John and Maria
The location was great for my wife and I. We enjoyed the tranquil setting, the sound of the ocean, and the singing birds. Thanks for sharing your cottage.
My wife and I had a wonderful visit to Hilo. John and Maria were very nice and helpful. Their unit is just short walk to the cliff overlooking the ocean. The unit is fully equipped with cooking as well as beach stuffs. Really enjoyed our stay at the property.
John and Maria go out of their way to see to every detail for a comfortable stay. We loved the property and all it has to offer! So much love and care has gone into their piece of paradise, and we are thankful that they share it!
I really enjoyed my stay here. The place was very cleanly and everything outside was really cool. The information provided also helped me find some good eateries in the area. Overall, I probably couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for a vacation.
Standing next to the crashing waves was definitely exhilarating and the unit is clean, new, and well stocked. The drive from the main highway can get tiresome since it is 4 miles of a straight line with never ending ups and downs! :p We used this as a base for Hilo and it was maybe not the best for that. The frogs have been mentioned by others - I used earplugs but my wife is not able to, so she was bothered by them. The water, even though triple-filtered, is still brackish and you must use the bounce dryer sheets when washing your clothes or they will smell. The hosts are pleasant, the parking secure, and the location private.
So, if you want to chill out and spend the day watching the ocean or walking the lava cliffs, this is the place for you.
A beautiful spot right on the water!! We could hear the waves crashing at night which we loved. Comfortable and clean with a well-stocked kitchen. Plus bikes and lots of beach equipment. We saw whales several times, once just from the kitchen. John and Maria were wonderful hosts and very responsive. Highly recommended!!
