Charming Beach House @ Richardson Beach Park, Hilo’s Premier Beach

Barefoot Beach House is a welcoming three-bedroom, two-bathroom beachfront home perfect for couples, families, or small groups. The large, window-lined living and kitchen area has a fantastic beach park and ocean view out the front, incredible jungle views out the back, and views of the property’s private, natural fishpond.

The historical house has charming detail work, including a brick fireplace, coffered ceilings, and wainscoting. The great room is a beautiful place for everyone to enjoy meals, play games, watch TV, read, work, or simply hang out, all with the stunning backdrop of Richardson Beach Park, the ocean, and the jungle.  In front of the fireplace is a vintage furniture set made in Hawaii during the 1940s or 50s, while another modern couch in the TV area is excellent for lounging.

The dining room connects the TV and front room with the kitchen and has a six-person dining set and a large window-seat bench that overlooks the beautiful pond. In the kitchen, there are two stools at the bar, and tucked in the corner of the kitchen is a quaint four-person breakfast nook.

The three bedrooms each have Hawaiian-themed comforters and lovely furniture with lots of storage space for you to fully unload. The two bathrooms are spacious and stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, as well as a hair dryer, a makeup removal station, and some toilet paper. In the linen closet, you will find beach towels, first aid supplies, and extra toiletries.

The lanai is the perfect spot for relaxing, checking out the surf, watching the whales in the winter, and enjoying the sunrise or sunset. On the property, you will find a natural fish pond, various tropical fruit trees, and a nice grassy area for the kids to play on.

The home's driveway can fit up to three cars. It is single-floor living but has five steps up to the front door. Laundry machines with detergent are available. The home also has an array of snorkeling gear and beach toys ready to go.

Step into our amazing Hawaiian retreat in the quaint, sunny area of Richardson Beach, where the ocean views are picturesque, the beachfront is seemingly endless, and the spirit of Aloha is everywhere.

Sweetest home with everything you need!

The most thoughtful home! It was perfect for our family. It had everything you’d need (and likely would have forgotten on a trip). They had accessories for our 5 month old (bathtub, playpen, etc.). Our 4yo loved the beach right across the street and the pond. Safe yard & neighborhood. Would love to stay here again. Thank you Robert and Erinn!
