About this property

Amazing Hamakua Coast Oceanfront Retreat - 2BR Private Home

Walk through the front door into a vaulted great room with expansive windows looking out to the ocean. Our home offers an incredible location and an elegant tropical house with bamboo floors, granite counters, and colorful landscaping. We host up to 6 guests in two separate bedroom/bath suites each with its own lanai from which to enjoy the sunrise, the stars and the breezes from the ocean. There is also a pull out futon in the living room for guests 5 or 6. The spacious oceanfront lanai of the house also has an outdoor sink/bar for outdoor entertaining.

The owners of The Cliffs at Hakalau have created a website with loads of info about the home, the surrounding area, and Hawaii Island. The URL is the name of the property.

Our home features two spacious bedrooms, the Hamakua (with King bed) and the Hilo (with Cal-King bed), each boasting its own private bath. The bathroom of the Hamakua room features an extra large, luxurious Jacuzzi tub with full glass windows offering a wide open ocean view. In addition, a separate door off of the Hamakua bath leads you onto a nice wooden lanai and a fabulous, outdoor shower. Both bedrooms have astonishing ocean views right from bed! Our kitchen is outfitted for you to cook up local foods in style. Sit at our elegant Stickley dining room set while watching the ocean - maybe you'll spot whales in winter passing by! The living room has lots of comfortable seating including a sectional sofa, several arm chairs, and a futon which doubles as the bed for guests 5 and 6. A full laundry room is also provided.

Need more room? You can also rent the neighboring Treehouse at Hakalau - ask us if it is available for your dates. Sleeps four.

Hilo is known for its warm aloha spirit, relaxed lifestyle, unique shops, art galleries and restaurants with local regional cuisine. Local attractions include Lyman Museum, East Hawaii Cultural Center, historic Palace Theatre, Pacific Tsunami Museum, Imiloa Astronomy Center, UH Hilo Performing Arts Center and Hawaii Tropical Botanical Gardens. Hilo Farmers Market is a favorite for fresh, local produce. Merrie Monarch Festival, Hilo's premier hula competition and cultural event, is held annually. Hilo's black sand beaches are some of the best for snorkeling, diving, surfing, paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming with turtles and tropical fish, or watching the whales off shore. Take a helicopter volcano tour or scenic drive to Kilauea Volcano (when flows are active) to view a lava caldera, or tour the summit and view the night skies of Mauna Kea.

We are near Highway 19, only 15 minutes to the town of Hilo, 20 minutes to the Hilo Airport and an approximate 2 hour drive to Kona. This is a great central location to tour and see the inspiring vistas the Island of Hawaii has to offer.

This is a Hawaii County licensed short term rental.

Peaceful Paradise
Lovely comfortable house with beautiful surrounds and amazing views of the ocean. Wake up to sunrise over the water and the birds and be lulled to sleep by the sounds of the waves and the frogs.

A Welcome Sanctuary
We were in awe of this place from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Upon walking through the door we were immediately greeted by an amazing view of the ocean from the massive bank of windows at the front of the home. We were treated to breaching whales, starry skies, and beautiful sunrises. The house was immaculate, spacious, and well stocked. It gave ample space for our family of four to spread out and relax. It was a reasonable distance from the hustle and bustle of Hilo and gave us the peace and relaxation we were seeking.

Amazing views!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our time at The Cliffs, wish we could have stayed longer! Very spacious home, both bedrooms have a bathroom connected which was super convenient. Can’t beat the views from the lanai or the living room. Loved the extra touch of a custom puzzle - we tried to finish it but didn’t have enough time - so we’ll have to come back!!

Heaven in Hilo
It was dark and raining when we arrived at the Cliff House but even in those conditions we were WOWED as soon as we opened the front door. The Cliff House is beautiful, warm, and Inviting. And where else can you see whales while washing dishes or just sitting on the couch! Communication was excellent. Five days just weren’t enough. We look forward to returning.

Beautiful view, relaxing stay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is large, comfortable with gorgeous views from the main living area, and both lanais. The kitchen was not as well stocked as compared to other similar properties, and basic items, such as hand towels and Kleenex were lacking.However, it is hard to beat its stunning ocean views and quiet vistas.
