Family 4BR Retreat • Pool, Hot Tub, BBQ grill

Experience the quieter side of the Big Island at Uli Kai, a spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath private home in Hawaiian Paradise Park near Hilo. Designed for families, couples traveling together, and respectful groups, Uli Kai offers plenty of room to spread out, relax, and enjoy East Hawaii at a slower pace.

Start your mornings with tropical birds and rainforest views, spend the day exploring waterfalls, black-sand beaches, Volcanoes National Park, Hilo, and the scenic Hamakua Coast, then return to your private pool and hot tub surrounded by lush greenery.

The home is especially well suited for longer stays and group trips, with multiple living areas, an upstairs/downstairs layout, a full kitchen, covered lanai, outdoor dining, BBQ, washer and dryer, fast Wi-Fi, and plenty of space for everyone to have privacy.

What guests enjoy most

• Private swimming pool and hot tub
• 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms
• Spacious layout for families and groups
• Covered lanai with outdoor dining and BBQ
• Full kitchen for home-cooked meals
• Fast Wi-Fi for remote work and trip planning
• Washer and dryer for longer stays
• Beach towels, beach gear, and island essentials
• Peaceful rainforest setting near Hilo

Uli Kai is about one block from the dramatic ocean cliffs of Hawaiian Paradise Park and provides convenient access to many of East Hawaii’s highlights, including Volcanoes National Park, Akaka Falls, Rainbow Falls, Hilo farmers markets, Richardson Ocean Park, and the Hamakua Coast.

This is a peaceful residential retreat rather than a resort-style property. It is best suited to guests who value privacy, nature, space, and a relaxed island experience.

Please note: The home is naturally ventilated with ceiling fans and good airflow and does not have central air conditioning.
Whether you are planning a family vacation, a longer Big Island stay, or a getaway with another couple or family, Uli Kai offers the space and amenities to make it an easy, comfortable home base for exploring East Hawaii.

The floor plan is great for a large group! We did not have A/C and that was missed very much. But we enjoyed the pool! Sleeping to the sound of the ocean was amazing.

少々旧い建物でしたが清潔が保たれています。 ビーチタオルもたっぷりとあり、快適に過ごせます。 シャワーの勢いは少々不満でした。
