This oceanfront, cliff-side property has all the views that you could ask for in a Big Island getaway! Located in Hawaiian Paradise Park, this 2 bedroom/2 bath home has views of the Pacific from all living areas. The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware and dinnerware to make this feel like your home away from home. Off the kitchen, there is open space with unobstructed views of the ocean, perfect for morning yoga, being lazy, or as a play space out of the sun.
Email your friends about your Hawaiian vacation from the convenient work area on the 1st floor – unless you get distracted from pressing “send” by the sounds of the waves outside. Next to the kitchen is the TV and lounge area, an ideal place to take in a vacation movie while still being able to feel the ocean breeze (NOTE: the home does not have air conditioning). There is also a queen sleeper sofa downstairs.
On the ocean side of the house, there is a grassy area perfect for catching some rays or watching the waves crash against the lava rock. The property extends beyond the white fence, to where the lava rock meets the ocean. (Do not swim in water off cliffs – dangerous waves and rocks).
The bedrooms are located on the 2nd floor and each have an entrance to the upper lanai that faces the ocean. There is a TV, desk, and ample closet space in each room. The upper lanai has a seating area perfect for enjoying drinks while you count the whales. You will find a cozy reading area on the 2nd floor landing, if you need a break from whale- and turtle-watching. For your spontaneous trips to one of the nearby beaches, large beach towels are provided. The house is ideally located for easy day trips to Volcanos National Park, Hilo, the many beautiful waterfalls, and other attractions. This vacation house truly has a paradise ocean view that you’ll want to make part of your Hawaiian getaway tradition!

Exactly as described and well stocked. Delightful for our family of four. The upper deck was amazing. It was a little far from the grocery, but the privacy was worth it.
a very relaxing stay- close to lots but has a somewhat remote feel to it.
Well equipped great upper deck- excellent communication with property manager over small (not property's fault) issues/quickly and well resolved.

Wonderful place overlooking black lava cliff in a quiet neighborhood with nothing but sounds of crashing surf and coqui frogs at night. Beautiful deck and breezy view, easy drive to shopping, farmers markets and restaurants. Super convenient interaction with host, zero problems. Would definitely stay again and for longer!

Beautiful spot on the lava cliffs over looking the ocean. Even saw a whale!House is lacking in many things! Terrible pillows, shower leaked, no batteries in the TV’s remote, no ice, washing machine broken. So many little things that could have made it better such as salt and pepper, filtered water, etc

Rental was clean, well organized. Everything that was included was delivered.
We loved our stay. The ocean view, breezes and nighttime showers, singing frogs, and every morning awaking to the sunrise over the water were all about life on the island. The property was very clean, private, and quiet, with all the amenities of home. We would gladly return. Our only disappointment was that there was no good patio furniture downstairs or patio lounge chairs.

First off when you walk in it was gorgeous and very clean. The layout was perfect for relaxation and the view was amazing. We had everything we needed for a great stay. Checking and check out was carefree.
Arrived at the beautiful location. The house was clean and we automatically opened the windows and took in the view. Hearing the ocean crash against the rocks. I even spotted a spinner dolphin the next morning. I agree with the other guests that I wish one of the rooms had a bigger bed but it didn't effect our stay at all.
Overall the property was very nice. Clean and tastefully decorated with plenty of room to spread out for us 4 adults. Whales and porpoises were a common treat to see. Interacted with the property manager regarding a small issue and was amazed that they got the issue addressed and corrected quickly even though it turned out to be something actually out of their control. We have stayed in this area before and enjoy its convenient location and beauty.

Mahalo for staying with us! We look forward to hosting you again! Mahalo from the Hawaii Life Vacations Team!
Beautiful property, right on the ocean. House is very clean and well appointed. About 30 min from downtown Hilo. Which is as perfect for us. Very quiet neighborhood. I recommend it! Never been to the big island. Visited the Kona side once during the week. Although the Kona side provides more attractions and activities. The Hilo side is very tropical and beautiful in comparison.

We are so happy we were able to host you on your beautiful Hawaiian vacation. Glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We look forward to hosting you again in the near future. Mahalo Nui Loa!
The location of this rental is beyond what the pictures show. If you are looking for a peaceful, quiet, location right on the ocean, yet close to Volcano, this is it. Impeccably clean. Many thoughtful touches. Not overdecorated; simple and exactly what was wanted and needed. Manager was available and helpful. A winner all around. Note that both bedrooms and one bath are upstairs.
Wake up to the sounds of the ocean and beautiful sunrise sparkling on water. Beautiful view all day! Comfortable with all you need to relax and enjoy. The house does get very hot during the day, however, there are plenty of fans to keep the air circulating and the house cools down in the evening. Our favorite part of the house is the upstairs deck. Perfect for morning coffee or a sunset glass of wine. The neighborhood is lovely and people are very kind. Highly recommend!

Aloha, We appreciate this feedback. Mahalo for staying with us, we look forward to hosting you again!
My husband and I had a sudden change of plans and needed to rent a place very quickly. We found this gem and hoped it would work out. The property manager went above and beyond to make sure we got in as needed, and the rest of the vacation was blissful; from the comfortable layout of the house, the snuggly bed, watching the sea turtles off the back deck, to falling asleep listening to the crashing of the waves. Convenient (but not TOO close) to Hilo and other popular areas, we enjoyed our days unwinding and exploring the Big Island.
We look forward to coming back!
My wife and I loved the six nights we spent at this very nice house in June 2022. The house itself is very well-equipped, with nice furnishings and open spaces. The location is simply spectacular: on the ocean on a black lava cliff (10-15 feet or so). The neighboring houses are spaced out and largely out of view, and it is a very quiet neighborhood. The upper deck provides a great space to take it all in. The check-in was smooth, and we very much appreciated the "starter kit" of fresh coffee and various household items. We loved the chocolates, too! Kudos to the owners and management. We would certainly stay here again.

This immaculate house has the most wonderful views! It is everything it said in the descriptions. The pullout sofa and the pillows were so comfortable, we asked for the brand names. Great location to go see the waterfalls, turtles at Punalu’u black sand beach, Volcanoes National Park and so much more. The best part after each excursion was coming “home”! We would definitely stay here again.

We are sorry to hear about your stay and rest assured that had these issues been brought to the attention of your local host they would have been addressed during your stay. While we respect your opinion, it certainly is uncharacteristic of the many other guests who have stayed at Paradise Ocean View and so after your visit we took note of the issues you raised and could find no problem with the shower head and it appears the sink drain may have simply been closed as it drained properly. We take pride in the cleanliness and condition of Paradise Ocean View as reflected by the many other reviews but are sorry it did not live up to your expectations.
