About this property

Kahikole: Oceanfront home with stunning, rugged ocean cliff views

This Oceanfront home on a half acre of land in Hawaiian Paradise Park gives you the privacy and serenity you're looking for. Set just back from the cliffs it is in full view of the glorious sunrise and dramatic sapphire blue ocean year round! The landscaping, front gate and rock walls offer this home a nice degree of privacy.

The two story house has separation between the living areas and bedroom suites. Downstairs are two master suites, each with an en-suite bathroom. Both bedroom windows look out onto the ocean. Wake up and marvel at the views right from bed! The south suite bathroom has a full bathtub and shower and the north suite bedroom has a TV and the bathroom has a slate-tiled walk-in shower and two vanity sinks. There is also a laundry closet with washer and dryer close to the bedrooms for your convenience. Upstairs you will find an even more impressive view of the ocean from the covered lanai and from inside. Here is a living room, dining area and open kitchen. Also upstairs is a study, SMART TV and another bathroom with shower. The gourmet kitchen is finished with Quartz counters, stainless appliances, dishwasher and a Viking gas range, fun for cooks!.

The property is fully landscaped with beautiful bougainvillea, plumbago and colorful hibiscus flowering plants! The home is extremely well maintained. Water is provided via rain water catchment and is filtered for indoor use. 

Hawaiian Paradise Park is conveniently located about 10 miles south of Hilo and the Hilo International airport. From here you can visit Volcanoes National Park (45 min drive), Pohoiki black sand beach (50 minute drive), Hilo (15 min drive) and the gorgeous Hamakua Coast with waterfalls, botanical gardens and lush Hawaiian forests (30-90 min drives).

This is a Hawaii County licensed short term rental.

Beautiful Unique Property

Everything about this home was incredible. Clean, well stocked, gorgeous views, comfortable beds/linens. The only down side is that it is about 5 miles off the main road but that's what also makes it so special. Would stay here again without question.

Private location and unique property

This home is a great spot for watching the sunrise in the morning or the whales in the afternoon. One of the best equipped rental kitchens I've ever seen. Very unique home with circular layout and wonderful ocean views from almost every spot. The private ocean-front location is "first in class"-amazing! Very convenient to visit Volcanoes National Park or to drive up to Hilo (check out the Farmer's Mkt. and Ken's House of Pancakes) and the coastal areas to the north. Only negative we experienced was the electricity being out one of our three evening there (out of their control, but a real bummer nonetheless). It is a bit of a drive to grab groceries, so you may want to plan ahead so you can maximize your time enjoying the stunning views from this property once you arrive!

Beyond Expectations

The pictures do not do justice for how wonderful the house and the views are. You are right on top of the ocean and can watch sea turtles from the balcony. We can’t recommend the Maku’u Farmers market enough and really enjoyed Kaleo’s down the street. Overall wonderful stay!

Great view

We love the uniqueness of the house. The views were outstanding. We loved walking outside on the lava cliff walls when we got there. The only thing we didn’t like was a bit of drive to everywhere you had to go. But we were prepared to travel. It was a nice launching point for a lot of the things we wanted to do on the Hilo side.

great views and beautiful home

We had an amazing experience at this property! The unique and functional layout, with living space upstairs and bedrooms downstairs in an incredibly peaceful location, was absolutely perfect for two couples. The secured driveway with parking and above-average amenities were impressive additions. The unforgettable views of marine life from the lanai truly enhanced the overall charm of the place. Highly recommended!
