About this property
Spacious Historic Estate ~ 5 Min Walk to Hilo & Bay Front
Beautifully appointed historic (once King Kamehameha's private lands) 1930s estate in close proximity to beaches, Botanical Gardens, Akaka Falls, and everything HiloTown has to offer! Walk to the Wailuku River & the Hilo Bayfront in only a few minutes from our home. Also to note, New kitchen renovation as of July 2019!
Although within walking distance to Hilo town, our diverse and unique neighborhood, Wainaku, has a country feel, with lots of historic homes; it's also quiet and very private.
As we are on the magnificent Wailuku River, our property has a wonderful breeze at all times, and there are a number of beautifully stunning bird species that make our property their home, too.
Also to note: both adjacent neighbors are on 1-acre parcels, which makes our home very peaceful.
Enjoy New King and Queen Serta beds and Belgian linens, and plush cotton towels. Further toiletries include organic shampoo and unscented body lotion by Aveeno, cotton swabs, and cotton balls.
Other amenities include:
•55" LG OLED 4K HDR TV with 200+ HD movies on Apple TV, 400 MB WIFI
•High-end snorkel/beach gear for kids and adults.
•Laundry Center with LG Steam Washer/Dryer
•Two Ice Chests on wheels for BBQing and taking on day outings.
•Propane BBQ in the Screened Lanai
Over 2200 Square feet of living space with a 3/4 acre yard to relax and enjoy your Hawai'ian getaway.
Although we are on the Wailuku River with wonderful breezes, the house is also cooled with a whole house fan, and each room has a ceiling fan, too.
