Incredible!

Everything about this property, from check in, to location, to the amenities on-site, and even the sad day of check out, was simply perfect. Listening to the waves crashing from the lanai was almost hypnotic. Seeing the sunrise every morning while sipping hot coffee was our favorite part of every day. People will tell you it's on the rainy side of the island, but don't let that scare you. Hilo is such a great little city, away from the crowds on the Kona side, and there are so many fun things to do! We can't wait to come back!

Secluded Paradise

This home is perfect for relaxing after a day of Hawaiian adventure. Yes you have to drive but returning to this beautiful home and the stunning views is worth it! Everything you need is provided for your stay. It’s beautifully furnished and spotless. We spotted some turtles just off the coast, we were too late to see whales, but just relaxing and watching the ocean was all we needed. One of the nicest rental houses we have been to. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Gorgeous views, but some inaccuracies in listing description.

The home itself is beautiful with stunning ocean views from all the rooms. Ultimately, we had a nice time, but there are some inaccuracies of the listing description that need to be corrected. Upon arrival we were disappointed to realize that the primary bedroom, with the most stellar views and en suite bathroom, actually has the QUEEN bed. That was not called out in the description, which may be fine for some, but with an extremely tall husband, we always specifically seek out king beds for our comfort. The photo in the listing of the primary bedroom. “bedroom 1”, mistakenly says king bed, I texted the property manager upon arrival to point out the discrepancy-there was nothing to be done at this point and we would make it work, but I wanted to just let her know. She responded that she would correct the description for others-but It has been almost a week since our departure and no updates have been made. We absolutely would NOT have booked this home, knowing that the primary bedroom was a queen bed. The two king beds are downstairs with a shared bathroom, so we chose one of those rooms and shared a bathroom with our teenager, while our other kiddo got the upstairs views in the primary. The refrigerator icemaker is broken, but bagged ice was supplied. In the living room, there are no blinds on the floor-to-ceiling, north facing window, looks at neighbor’s lanai. The lack of privacy at night with lights on was noticeable. Ocean views & lanai are lovely!

Lovely Hawaiian Retreat

We enjoyed our week long stay at this lovely house. We came with another couple and were so impressed with the spacious layout of the house, with it's tasteful decor, and amenities. The house has a spectacular view of the Pacific and it has lots of big picture windows to view the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets through, or even better, you can sit out on one of the several lanais and take in the beauty while enjoying the warm trade wind breezes. During our stay we saw Whales and groups of Spinner Dolphins feeding and cavorting not far off shore from the back of the house. A real treat! The kitchen is very well appointed although we only used the kitchen for breakfasts and one dinner during our stay. The swimming pool is quite lovely and inviting but not heated. Even on a warm day in February, it was too cold for me to fully emerge myself in it for any length of time without a wet suit. I imagine that in the summer the water is much warmer and easier to enjoy. The only difficulty that we encountered has to do with the design of the laundry alcove and the doors that hide the washer and dryer on the 1st level of the house. We discovered a large build up of black mold around the rubber gasket of the front loading washer and an accompanying mildew odor. We used up a whole container of Clorox wipes trying to clean the gasket and diminish the odor. The problem lies in not being able to leave the washer door open and the laundry alcove doors open long enough to allow air to circulate and dry out the inside of the washer. If one leaves the laundry alcove doors open enough to allow for good air circulation to the inside of the washer, then it blocks the hallway. This side of the Island of Hawaii being a place of abundant moisture, and where things like to grow, including mold and mildew, I fear that that lovely front loading washer will have a much shorter life expectancy than anticipated due to not being properly aired and dried out between use. All this being said, we had a wonderful and relaxing stay at this beautiful property.

Beautiful location on the coastline. Enjoyed seeing the sunrise every morning from the large enclosed lanai. Pool was well maintained. About a 25 minute drive into downtown Hilo on most days. Puna Trail head is close by (bring good shoes should you plan to go the 2 miles one-way to Shipman Beach. Only slight negatives were the stackable washer/dryer had an unpleasant odor in the hallway outside the downstairs bedrooms, and if you are staying in the upstairs master bathroom you will need to navigate some steps to get luggage up and down. Overall a quiet, relaxing location.

Extraordinary Home

We loved everything about our stay. We booked this house for my Mom's 72nd Birthday. The area around the house was lovely, and it was a short drive to stores and vacation sightseeing. We saw whales every afternoon and evening. I was excited to wake up and view the sunrise with coffee every morning. We enjoyed the pool in the afternoon. The night sky was amazing.I look forward to coming back. I'd stay at this house and in this area again.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us during our short stay on the Big Island. House is spotless and beds very comfortable.

But honestly just sitting on the lanai, enjoying the view and listening to the crash of the waves was the high point of our visit.

Great for family vacation!

We loved our week long stay near Hilo. This home was impeccably clean and well-maintained. The view of the ocean was stunning, and the constant breeze kept all the bugs away, making our time outside so much more enjoyable. Inside, the AC ensured optimal temperature for sleeping, and the beds were luxuriously comfortable. The property is located in a tranquil neighborhood, perfect for leisurely strolls (no sidewalks but the street is lightly traveled and many folks walk on the road). The highlight for the younger members of our group was undoubtedly the private pool, and everyone found the deck furniture to be exceptionally comfortable. While most adults and children had no trouble with the steep stairs, it's worth noting that toddlers would require supervision. Terry and Amber were incredibly attentive and quick to address any needs or questions we had. We highly recommend this property for a peaceful and enjoyable stay.

About the host

Hosted by Terry Schoneberg

Host profile image
We stayed in the Wailele Kai in September 2018 during our vacation to the Big Island and we fell absolutely in love with the house and the view of the ocean from the house and lanai. Shortly thereafter, we offered to buy the Paradise Pali Kai. After reaching an agreement with the prior owners and buying the property we renamed her Paradise Pali Kai. We are excited to be able to share our home in PARADISE with other vacationers. Terry Schoneberg, Sunrise Properties, is the property manager and having lived in the Hilo area for over 43 years can fully assist you, as he did us, in making this a trip of a lifetime.

Why they chose this property

Why The Big Island: We have visited Hawaii many times. Of all the islands, the Big Island is our favorite. The Big Island is less commercialized, and there is a greater variety of things to do and see. To name a few, Volcano National Park is a must see, the Japanese gardens, the banyan trees on Banyan Drive, jungle gardens and amazing waterfalls, pele’s lava; black, white, and green sand beaches and; at times lava flowing into the ocean near Kalapana.
Why the Hilo area: While we like the Kailua Kona area on the west side, we enjoy the lushness and beauty of the eastern side more. The eastern side is a tropical beauty and the ocean is majestic. Paradise Pali Kai is ocean front in a quiet residential neighborhood in Keaau, about 20 minutes outside Hilo. Thanks to the excellent road system, travel to the western, southern, and northern ends of the island is an easy drive from Keaau.
The Unique Benefits of this House: First, the house and views are simply stunning. The magic of the location is how close the house and lanai are to the ocean and the waves. The waves break directly on the lava cliffs IN THE BACKYARD. It is dramatic to view from the lanai, “great room”, and master bedroom, all of which are on the second floor facing the ocean. Every room upstairs and downstairs, has a view of the ocean.

What makes this property unique

The Finest quality luxury in every corner of our home. In the front of the house, in a beautifully landscaped and protected private courtyard, is a gorgeous lagoon pool with lanai and covered patio. While the tropics are beautiful, it can at times be unbearably hot and humid, particularly to those accustomed to a cooler or drier environment or central air conditioning. To eliminate this problem, the home has an air-conditioning system that cools, filters and dehumidifies the air. It is a zoned system and the temperature of each bedroom and the “great room” can be individually controlled. Most vacation homes in Hawaii do not have air conditioning, but this vacation home defines luxury. In addition, there are fans throughout the house for ambiance and use on cooler days. Paradise Pali Kai is true luxury. Mahalo
