We fully remodeled and upgraded what was already a popular vacation rental in Summer 2018. Details below:

Here is a unique retreat, set in the charming and historical Hilo beach neighborhood of Keaukaha, that feels like the old Hawaii. Large and luxurious studio with full bath and private covered lanai. Property is across the street from the ocean & surrounded by the rainforest. Beautiful room with comfy queen bed, HD Smart TV, full HD cable with Netflix (etc.) and high speed WiFi. Kitchenette includes small refrigerator, microwave, toaster and coffee maker. Clean, comfy and relaxing.

Originally built as an artist studio, the 'Ohana has just been (2018) completely remodeled and transformed into a perfect get-away. It's separate from the main house (basically a guest cottage) and very private. There are lots of large windows, all facing the rain forest.

We added more space (higher ceilings and a little more square footage), a new private covered lanai off the back, new flooring, windows, custom kitchenette, recessed lighting, ceiling fan, etc. It maintains that old Hawaii feel but everything is nice and new.

The kitchenette has custom cabinets & a granite counter. You can eat indoors at the bistro table or out on the covered lanai and enjoy the sounds and colors of the forest.

Just a short walk to the ocean. There are beach parks within 5 minutes of this property including Carlsmith Beach Park, Leleiwi Beach Park and the popular Richardson's Beach Park with black sand.

Hilo Town is home to one of the best Farmer's Markets in Hawai'i and some of the best restaurants around. Yummy dining options, shopping, gateway to Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, orchid orchards, waterfalls, rainforest, golf, zip lining, hiking, and more. We are happy to share our knowledge about where to go and what to do while on the Big Island.
