Wonderful house on the ocean in an amazing area near the most scenic vistas in Hawaii. Extremely clean and well appointed and the owners are very attentive. Would very highly recommend!!
The view is incredible! Your backyard will be dramatic lava cliffs and Pacific Ocean. The ocean is about 30 yards from a beautiful lanai. You’ll fall asleep to the sounds of the waves.
House is very clean and has everything you might need. It’s very comfortable and inviting. The views are breathtaking, the constant sounds of the ocean waves is wonderful! The pool is relaxing and refreshing, not heated. Comfortable beds with quality bedding. A/C available but we don’t really use much as there’s always a lovely breeze! Could have used some extra tv remote batteries and counter spray but otherwise everything was great! We’d love to come back!
Our family of 4 really enjoyed this beautiful home. It was immaculate and well equipped. The views were spectacular. We loved sitting out in the rocking chairs looking out at the ocean. The location was great. Would definitely recommend this house.
The property had so many fine touches. Owner thought of everything. So many places both outdoor and indoor to enjoy the view and stocked with everything we needed. Not sure how im going to survive without that glorious view!
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.

Thank you for staying at our home and for posting a positive review! We want to let you know that a new washer and dryer were ordered several weeks ago and will be delivered and installed soon. Please note that anyone staying in the upstairs bedroom must carry their luggage upstairs, as the house is a two-story property, as mentioned in the listing.
My husband and I, stayed here for our honeymoon. Everything about staying in this beautiful home, was beyond amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone, wanting a home away from home vibe. The blissfulness was a piece of paradise. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home.
This was a great experience, the house was as photographed just stunning and the location didn't disappoint. Loved all the hints they left as far as restaurants and things to do.
Sitting out on the black lava cliffs just off the back patio... gazing at the night starts (without all the light pollution we have at home) was just amazing. A great home.
This home was fantastic! Very clean and better than described. We watched whales and turtles from the balcony the entire week. The owners were responsive and instructions were clear. Would recommend this property again and again!!
The view was spectacular and the house lived up to the photos. Very well maintained and appointed. Well stocked kitchen which made it easy to prepare and enjoy meals on site. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it to others.
The beauty of this home and its location is beyond words. We loved staying here and hated to leave. The pool was used each day and loved sitting on the laina every night watching the sunset. Wish we could have been able to spend more time here.
Felt secluded. Wonderful views and sounds of the ocean. Spent hours on the Lanais watching the waves crash against the rocks. The house felt like a home away from home, cozy, clean and very nice. Nice amenities, pool was refreshing and the house was in a great location.
This was the most beautiful place for the last part of our Weddingmoon!! The home was just as described and the views took our breath away! Communicating with the host was very easy and prompt! It is off the beaten path but so worth the extra drive just for the views and privacy. Highly recommended this place!!

About the host
Hosted by Terry Schoneberg
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
