Aloha and welcome to my Hawai’i Island cottage!
I am delighted to share my 1 acre of rainforest and hope you will choose to stay at Hawaiian Paradise Cottage.
Enter the property through a private electric gate and down a tree-lined drive to a secluded garden oasis set well back from the road.
The house features 22-foot vaulted ceilings, a fully-loaded kitchen with an espresso machine and burr grinder filled with coffee, high quality black tea and fresh green tea upon request, a 60” smart tv in a fully-furnished tropical decor with hi-speed wifi, a private bedroom downstairs with a deck, a loft bedroom above the kitchen/living room area, and a spacious outdoor dining and lounging area with a barbeque and secluded garden views. You will receive a basket of fresh seasonal fruit your host has selected from the garden. Have your coffee on the east-facing lanai in a flood of morning light with a beautiful garden view. Enjoy tropical evenings of starry skies and relaxing rainforest sounds that some of the guests say they pay for back at home.
There are two queen-sized beds fitted with high quality sheets, as well as a twin bed with 8” memory foam. Front and rear decks offer plenty of leisure space with a full size dining table in the back.
Wifi speeds are 314 Mbps download, 11.7 Mbps upload.
This off-grid property is Hawai’i resident owned and operated. Your host lives on site and is available for a local’s perspective, information about the island, recommendations, and assistance as needed.
When you walk the enclosed, manicured grounds you will find Royal palms, coconut, orange, lime, lychee, banana, taro, white pineapples, papaya, mango, and avocado trees, culinary herbs, and an array of orchids, exotic, and fragrant flowers. There are pleasant and spacious grassy areas beneath palms and large shade trees, perfect for yoga, meditation, bird watching, or simple relaxation. Garden tours are included for all my guests upon request and based on availability.
Please note: This property is not safe for children age 2-11.
Situated in Hawaiian Paradise Park 15 minutes South of Hilo, you will be 5 minutes away from the Paradise Cliffs where you can watch the sun rise over the Pacific, see whales in season, and watch rainbows form. You will also be 5 minutes from the Puna Trail, a pre-colonial forest hike that leads to a secluded beach where giant Honu sea turtles sun and swim in the closed lagoon. We are 40 minutes from Hawaiian Volcanoes National Park where you can witness Kilauea erupting, 30i minutes to the various waterfalls in and around Hilo, one hour to stargazing at the Maunakea Visitor’s Center, 40 minutes to the Pohoiki natural hotsprings, and so much more!
Your host lives onsite and is available for questions or if you need suggestions.
The cottage also provides a high level of privacy if you prefer to be on your own.
There is a selection of art to purchase in the cottage so you can take a piece of Hawaii back with you!
There is limited bus service in the area, so a rental car will give you much more flexibility.
Your host is available afternoons and weekends to provide tours or airport pick-up in an 8-passenger LT luxury trim Chevy Suburban.
