About this property

When you're ready to get away...

My vacation rental is located on approximately 1/2 acre in a small, upscale community two miles north of the historic whaling town of Hilo. The lanai faces the cool trade winds and Honolii Beach, the popular eastside surf spot, is just a five-minute walk down a one-lane road.
The apartment features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, a desk, and a dining table.

We loved staying in Terre’s little bungalow. The proximity to the surfing beach and all the beautiful jungle around us was amazing! We enjoyed going into Hilo for the Farmer’s Market, bakery and the swimming area at the east end of town. It was also a great location for us to venture out to the Volcano National Park, then up north to the waterfalls. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Small, but comfy room right near a gorgeous black sand beach5 minutes from downtown Hilo. Close enough to everything you need, but far enough away for a quiet night being sung to sleep by frogs and light rain. Gracious host and we'll maintained location

This is a very special property - a classic Ohana studio walking distance to Honoli`i Beach. Well appointed with a friendly onsite host and sweet pup. Hilo town and all it has to offer is a few minutes away. Highly recommend!

We loved our cottage just north of Hilo. The best part was walking two blocks to the beach and watching all of the surfers. There was even a rainbow! Magical. The neighborhood is super quiet and Terry was friendly and lives next door. It only takes about 10minutes to drive into Hilo for dining and markets. There were gorgeous orchids in the garden. It was a perfect, low key place for us to spend a few days.
