About this property

Paradise Bluff: Cliffside Home w/Gorgeous Ocean Views and Tropical Garden

Paradise Bluff is a beautiful home perched on the cliffs of the small seaside town of Laupahoehoe. Relax, take a deep breath, and enjoy the Aloha spirit and traditions of the Big Island of Hawaii. Located on the spectacular Hamakua Coast between Hilo and Waimea, Paradise Bluff spans 288 ft. of coastline and overlooks historical Laupahoehoe Point. The sweeping 180-degree views of the Pacific Ocean, tropical gardens, and private decks all combine to make a uniquely-breathtaking retreat. You may use this awesome home as a convenient jumping-off point to many of the famous Big Island sites, or you may simply choose to escape from it all, relax on the lanais, and enjoy the exotic birds, crashing blue surf, swaying palm trees, and rainbow-colored geckos. Paradise Bluff is a destination in itself.

Paradise Bluff features a luxurious top floor Master suite, complete with a king sized bed, wall-mounted flat screen TV, large walk-in shower (with two shower heads), elegant ”spa-like” bathroom, coffee station and fridge, private deck, and an oversized dressing room. The bedroom's vaulted ceilings and ceiling fan help circulate the ocean breezes. The huge sun deck allows for private sunbathing with spectacular views of Laupahoehoe Point in the distance. A unique spiral staircase connects the top floor with the main floor.

The spacious main floor has a newly-remodeled kitchen with island bar, separate dining room, large living room, utility/laundry room, and two more bedrooms with king sized beds, flat screen TV's and beautiful en-suite bathrooms with showers. The large dining room has a vaulted ceiling and a solid mango table that seats six.

Two more decks (one covered and one sun deck) are located off the living room. The covered wrap-around deck has an elegant teak dining table for six. Step down to the smaller lower deck to find the Weber gas grill and a chaise lounge for sun-bathing. All the decks are newly tiled and overlook the water; it really feels like you’re living in the Presidential Suite on the forward bow of a cruise ship – without the crowds and buffets!

Laupahoehoe is a small town with its roots in the sugar-industry. Today, it has a beautiful beach park, post-office, police station, one restaurant, Train Museum, and a fantastic open-air eight-lane public swimming pool (with lifeguard) that is free to the public. Just a few minutes away is the recently-renovated 100 year old Papaaloa Country Store and Café with its a fabulous bakery, sandwiches, and burgers, along with a wide selection of groceries and fresh produce.

About 20 minutes’ drive north is Honokaa Town, the gateway to famed Waipio Valley. Honokaa has several good shops and restaurants and a wonderful FirstFriday art and shop walk the first Friday of every month. Hilo, 35 minutes to the south and Waimea, 45 minutes to the northwest, both provide a variety of restaurants, shops, nightlife and unique local attractions like zip-lining, botanical gardens, and farmer's markets. One hour west of Paradise Bluff is the famous Hapuna Beach and several world-class beach resorts with great golf courses.

This is a Hawaii County licensed short term rental.

Excellent stay at Paradise Bluff

We stayed for 5 nights. The house is lovely, clean, very well equipped. There are thoughtful additions like coolers and ice packs, beach towels, aloe for sunburn! The location is quiet and furnished tastefully, beds also v comfortable. We loved driving all over and seeing the island. If you don’t like driving a lot there isn’t much activity in the immediate neighborhood.

Incredible view and great place

We had a great stay at the property. The view is breathtaking and wonderful place to relax. While it was a bit warm at first just open it up and the breezes made it comfortable. Beds were very comfortable and it was very clean. Laundry helped. There is not a lot around for restaurants so grab food in Hilo at the grocery stores first. Cooler at the property can help keep it cold. Highly recommend staying here.

A Slice of Paradise

Our stay at this incredible Hawaiian VRBO was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with breathtaking ocean views and a welcoming ambiance. The home was clean and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing vacation.The kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials (and then some), making it easy to prepare meals while enjoying the stunning scenery. The lanai quickly became our favorite spot for morning coffee, watching the sunrises and whale watching. The location was tucked away enough to feel private. The hosts were great to work with. Mahalo for an unforgettable stay!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful spot. My only complaint is that one of the downstairs bedrooms does not have AC like the other two and the ceiling fan wasn't able to go full speed making sleep a challenge until the temps cooled. Otherwise, a great spot if you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle.

Fantastic Rental!

This home is beautiful inside and out. They have provided very comfortable furnishings and beds. We loved watching the sunrise each morning and felt very comfortable during our visit. Lots of outlets, places to put clothes and bags, great kitchen and laundry room. The only thing that wasn’t ideal was there was no AC unit in the third bedroom. But, the wind provided a nice breeze so it wasn’t horrible. We will definitely stay here again.

My favorite rental on the Hamakua coast

I have rented many houses on the coast and this one was my favorite because of the layout, appointments and view. We lived on the lanai because the ocean views were so engaging.

Paradise Found at Paradise Bluff!!

I absolutely loved staying at Paradise Bluff! It was such a beautiful and relaxing spot to spend the week. I enjoyed reading and tanning on the balcony in the morning and watching the gorgeous sunsets there in the evening. The house was perfect, it was clean, comfortable and had a great view of the ocean. I can't wait to go back!
