About this property

Family Friendly Home, with a Man Cave!

Traveling with the family or taking time for yourself, you'll love coming home to this beautiful home. Three bedrooms each with their own ensuite custom marble bathroom. Just a short walk to the Makuu cliffs to watch the whales go by. The Asian inspired decor is stunning. I have collected art throughout Asia and you are sure to enjoy the many carvings and paintings. The "Man Cave" has a giant flat screen TV, pool table, dart board and more. The home is on one acre and I live in a cottage on property. The landscaped property has many fruit trees for you to "pick" from. I have bikes for your use to explore the area.
The home is located in the Hawaiian Paradise Park subdivision. Centrally located to the airport, 20 minutes, lava flow 30 minutes and Volcano National Park 30 minutes.

We had wonderful experience at this property. The home was big and spacious, and overall very clean—plenty of room to relax and feel comfortable. One of our favorite parts of the stay was the beautiful fruit trees throughout the property. We also loved being just a few blocks away from a spectacular ocean view and sunrise spot. Everything went smoothly on our stay.

Just WOW! This is the best VRBO I have ever booked. The place was too great and was better than we thought it could be. Not only was the house magnificent, but the grounds were like paradise. The host communicated when necessary, but was never overbearing. The location was perfect, with beach cliffs just a short small and town and many attractions within a 30 minute drive. We are already talking about coming back.

We like to travel a lot and this was the best house so far. The house is amazing. Check-in was quick and easy. We were able to drop off our luggage before check in time which was very helpful. Bedrooms are very spacious. We were able to pick a lot of different fruits in the yard.

This is a beautiful home sitting on a beautiful property. Very spacious, with plenty of room to spread out and relax. Wonderful porches and patio's to sit out and enjoy the day.With no AC, the house can get a little warm but cools off later in the evening.The house was nearly perfectly clean and the floors are beautiful; however, the floors need a thorough moping which I would image is due to the windows being open for airflow.We would certainly recommend this property for future stays and would stay here again ourselves.

Lots of space

Beautiful house with plenty of space. Outdoor equipment (bikes, surfboards etc) available. The neighborhood was nice and an easy walk to the ocean, but a bit of a drive to get to a town for groceries and supplies. Good communication and suggestions from the host.

Awesome place to stay when in Hilo. Has everything you need to keep everyone entertained even when you are at the property. Billiards, dart board and basketball hoop kept the kids busy. Also, had bikes to ride to go to the beach nearby and tour the neighborhood. But the best thing about this place was that you can try the fruits from the trees in the backyard. Bananas, pineapples, strawberry guavas and passion fruits. Very delicious!Howard was a great host as he was very accommodating and answered all our questions and was very friendly when I went over to meet him. We would stay here again if we ever go back to Hilo.Mahalo plenty!

Beautiful house for vacation and retreat

The place is located in a quiet and peaceful area. It is only about 20 minutes from Hilo. The place is amazingly beautiful and spacious. It is filled with arts the owner collecting from traveling many places in the world. The house is fully equipped for both short-term and long-term stay. The garden is beautiful with many fruit trees to admire. Highly recommend for travelers/visitors looking for quietness, peace, and nature beauty.

Great hideaway on Hilo side of Island

Spacious, clean, furnished "home" located in quiet area. Host very responsive to inquiries and requests. Fully furnished with sports equipment. Property full of fauna that produces fruit (albeit we were there at low season) One drawback - house is located some time from Hilo (depending on traffic) so plan your excurstions accordingly

About the host

Hosted by Howard Grant

Host profile image
My name is Howard and I am a contractor on the Big Island. I built this home for myself and 2 sons. The house was a labor of love and did almost all the work myself. My sons are now grown and have families of their own and I felt that it was time to share my home with other travelers. I live in a cottage on the back of the property so I can give my guests privacy when they need it and assistance with questions or issues that may come up. I want to make sure your time on the Big Island is special.

Why they chose this property

This area is the "sunshine belt" of the East side. Walking distance to the ocean and some great fishing spots. Mostly its quiet and private.

What makes this property unique

Each bedroom has its own custom bath. I bought most of the tiles and cabinetry and art during my travels in Asia.
