About this property

Swimming Pool, Observation Deck, and Palm Trees

We are located about 14 miles south of Hilo and 300' from the ocean. As you enter the front door you are greeted with a lovely view of the atrium, swimming pool and backyard. The atrium serves as the dining room and has green plants all around. The kitchen and guest bedroom are on one side of the atrium and master bedroom and living room are on the other.

The master bedroom has a new king size mattress called Premier Hybrid by Copper, Cushion Firm, purchased April 25th, 2016. It has 8' of sliding glass doors facing ocean. And the large bathroom boasts an outdoor shower.

The living room has a new 55" tv and the wireless router is located here. It has a sliding glass door looking out to the backyard but we usually keep it closed as it faces west. And also has double French doors opening into the atrium.

The kitchen has granite counters, black appliances and a door opening to the driveway. In addition to the microwave and coffee maker there is a blender, waffle maker, crock pot, French press, and deep fryer. We keep some staples in the pantry and seasonings in the spice cabinet.

The guest bedroom has a queen bed, 8' of sliding glass doors, and a desk and chair. The 2nd bathroom has a shower and the washer and dryer are located here.

The swimming pool is quite large, 34' by 17.5'. There is a nice big stone deck and a covered lani. The 3rd bathroom is located here.
The property is surrounded by swaying palm trees. It is very private with 4' walls topped with 2' decorative cement panels.And we have added a large, deep hot tuyb!

Near the front door is a spiral staircase that goes up to the observation deck.
Our large covered atrium serves as the dining room. There is a table and 6 chairs for dining with an outdoor feel, yet is mostly enclosed.

Our Hawaiian home away from home

We just loved staying here. We loved the pool, the view, the location, the arrangement with outdoor dining and more. This is our 4th time in this neighborhood and this is our favorite home. We visited many local attractions and restaurants and always enjoyed returning to this home.

What a beautiful house and location. The pool was AMAZING! 5/5 stars. Only thing that happened was the hot tub was broken. Owner tried to get a part to fix it but hey this this the big island puna. Nothing happens fast there. Did not really effect our stay as the pool was 87 deg even at night. Will definitely stay again!!

A Slice of Paradise

Palm Tree Paradise is more than we ever expected! The online pictures don't do it justice. The home is very well stocked with all the basics and comforts of home. The backyard is paradise! The neighborhood is clean and friendly. We would definitely return to this home in paradise!

Great place to relax

The house was lovely, and the pool was perfect. The kitchen, bathrooms, etc., were extremely well equipped and supplied. It was difficult for me to understand the layout from the pics, but it works quite well with two wings, a central atrium, and nice outdoor space. There are bugs inside, regardless of how clean you are (roaches), typical of this area. The primary bedroom bed is set very high, so if you have any physical difficulties climbing into it might be a challenge. The host asked us to do extra chores (plant watering) after we had confirmed.Overall, though, it was a great stay.

Lovely home

Beautiful home with ocean view! Very clean and kitchen had everything you might want to cook. Backyard was an oasis! Quiet and peaceful area to explore east side of island. The outdoor shower off the master was a highlight! Would recommend to anyone. Bedrooms are well separated from each other for separation of space.

Honeymoon stay

We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was the best place we stayed at for the 2 weeks we were here. The place was very cute and clean. We loved the open concept. The lava cliffs were apart of our nightly routine and definitely worth going to see! We can’t wait to come back!

Peace and Quiet

The property was wonderful. Very private and quiet. The gardens are lovely and the layout of the house is unique. My sons and I loved the pool and the lanai. We’d have dinner or breakfast out on the lanai. Definitely will stay again. Hilo is the only place for stores and places to eat and that was a 25 minute drive. We bought food from Walmart and cooked at the house.

Paradise

Walking through the front door and seeing that beautiful atrium felt like walking into paradise! Our stay here was by far the best property we've stayed at. And that is saying a lot because we've been to the island's 7 times now. This place is super secluded and private. It is stocked with everything you would need and then some in a house. We enjoyed every minute spent here and hope to return soon. Thank you Stephanie for allowing our stay. We will forever cherish our momories here!

45th anniversary

This place is amazing. Very private and quiet. You have a very private pool in an absolutely gorgeous back yard, located in a quiet friendly neighborhood. Ocean view from the eagle nest on the roof of the covered lanai. Unique, beautiful, well-appointed home. AC in the bedrooms, outdoor shower in the master bedroom is fantastic. Stephanie is very easy and fantastic to deal with. David & Deb

A Lovely Palm Paradise

Thank you Steph for a beautiful stay! The host was super responsive & communicative. They provided everything needed and then some. Lots of good info in the house binder & via messages. Yes! to restaurant suggestions - Ning's Thai & Kaleo's also Kohala coffee - all in Pahoa. We were delighted with the layout of the home, especially the outdoor covered atrium where we gathered mornings over breakfast & coffee to plan the day -- and then again in the evening to play games & just be together. The pool is delightful - floats provided! Observation perch was great for sunrises & whale watching (we saw spouting!) And we loved the outdoor shower off main bath which really let us know we were in Hawai'i. We loved our stay & would definitely book again.

Amazing Home!!!

The photos and the description just don’t do it justice. This place was absolutely amazing. Beautiful pool/lanai area was totally private. Home was in amazing condition and had everything and anything you could ever need. Perfect place for a couple or two couples getting away. The location is about 20 minutes south of Hilo. Totally isolated and perfect for someone looking to just unwind and relax.

Honeymoon in Paradise Park

This vrbo was amazing! I’ve never seen a house quite like it. You walk in the front door, directly into an open atrium & then the beautiful backyard full of plants, flowers, and fruits! Not to mention the beautiful pool and hottub. The house is split into two both sides include a bedroom, one with the kitchen, the other with the living room! Both sides well stocked with everything you could need for your stay indoors or outdoor beach activities. Highly recommended!

About the host

Host profile image
We purchased the property in 1999. With the help of Don and Lynn, designer-architect-contractor, and a few idea's of my own, we came up with amazing home. And when we were broke and needed landscaping we turned to the cheapest thing around, palm trees. And what a beautiful thing that turned out to be!
