Pele's Paradise is well stocked with every amenity needed for a long stay including a fully-stocked kitchen, beautiful and thoughtfully designed bathroom and thoughtful furnishings and details throughout like a dedicated laundry room tucked away from the sleeping areas for quiet.
Pele's Paradise is located on Hawai'i's Big Island (the island of Hawai'i) 25 minutes south of Hilo International Airport. The house has been setup as two luxury oceanfront condos. Pele's Paradise is a 2 Bedroom 1 bath condo within the owners home that takes up the ground floor so guests have direct access to the ocean! The Owners of the home occasionally stay in the upstairs condo when they visit a few times per year. The two units are completely private from each other and do not share any spaces.

The seaside kitchen with new stainless steel appliances is stocked with all the cooking utensils, pots, pans and dishes needed to cook delicious meals. Serve your culinary delights with a side of paradise in a dining area with panoramic ocean views and a door that opens up to the lanai.
For a complete oceanfront dining experience, pull up a chair on the lanai dining table or gather around the outdoor seating area. Allow the Hawaiian sea breeze to accompany your views of the beautiful lava rock cliffs of your paradise retreat.

Truly Paradise!
We had a wonderful stay! The property is beautiful with a fantastic view! We enjoyed our time outside as much as inside. The kitchen was very well stocked, the master bed was cozy and comfortable, & to have a washer/dryer half way in our trip was great. We were greeted with delicious chocolate macadamia nuts as well as macadamia wine. Yum! This home is about a 20min from Hilo, and we found the drive to be worth it to stay here. If you walk left out of the property, you will head to a wonderful park with tide pools overlooking the water (about 1 mile) and if you go right, you will find a trail that takes you also to the water with incredible views and a super cool lava arch. A truly special time! Thank you to our hosts!!

Serene coastal retreat!
We had an amazing stay here! The view of the ocean is breathtaking — you can hear the waves crashing into the cliffs at night, which made for the most peaceful sleep. The dark skies were filled with stars, making the nights feel truly magical.The home itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully accommodating. The property manager was incredibly communicative and offered us many helpful suggestions throughout our stay. It’s about a 30-minute drive to Hilo, where we spent most of our time exploring, and the nearest grocery store was conveniently just 15 minutes away.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a serene, scenic escape!

Oceanfront Serenity – Relax & Unwind in Paradise
This beautiful getaway just outside Hilo was the perfect place to relax and unwind. We loved starting the day with breakfast on the lanai, listening to the ocean waves, and taking morning walks to explore the area. The dark night skies made for incredible stargazing. The home was bright, clean, and had everything we needed. Our thoughtful hosts even welcomed us with special local treats. Truly delightful!

SO beautiful!
This was SUCH a great place to stay! The location is stunning (not just because it’s in the nicest part of the neighborhood) and the constant sounds of waves crashing just outside the back door was heavenly. I spent a lot of time on the patio staring into the beauty of it all. The unit was incredibly comfortable (I didn’t even miss my own bed) and the kitchen was stocked with all the things we needed. Chase left us a great welcome gift and also had a wonderful guide with great recommendations for anything and everything to do around the Hilo side of the island. He was also great with checking in and responding with any questions we had. I would definitely stay here again!!

This property is absolutely perfect. Decor was beautiful. Kitchen was well equiped with pots, pans, plates etc. Beds were very comfortable. You can literally hear the waves striking the volcanic cliff below. Comunication with owners was excellent. Overall, we were very pleased with our choice of VRBO's on The Big Island.
