The location is absolutely perfect. We were able to watch surfers in the morning and evening from our balcony just across the road from Richardson beach park. Beach access was easy as we only had to walk across the street. Home was well equipped with plenty of snorkel gear, water booties and boogie boards. The home also seemed to be centrally located to other attractions such as Wailua valley overlook and Volcanoes NP. We definitely enjoyed the more laid back feel of Hilo to the crowded, touristy vibe of Kona.

Richardson's Beach Houses

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the two houses. There were 9 of us (6 adults and 3 children ages 7, 5 and 4). It was nice to spread out comfortably. It was great to be so close to the beach and the ocean views were spectacular. We also appreciated all the easy access to beach equipment (snorkels, water shoes, paddle boards, boogie boards, sand toys, etc.) We had a great time in Hilo and so lucked out with great weather! Thanks!

Excellent location by Richardson Beach Park

We were there to run the Big Island International Marathon. For me it was completing running a marathon in all 50 states. We had a big group that wanted to come along for the occasion so we needed a space large enough for 13 of us. The houses were a perfect fit for our group. The easy walk across the street to the beach and short drive to downtown Hilo gave us the best of both worlds. We enjoyed our times just sitting on the porch and enjoying everyone’s company. Would def recommend to a large group looking for a good loocation in Hilo!

Great duo of houses for extended family

The two houses were perfect for our family. The setup exceptionally well-outfitted for water sports and enjoyment. We didn't take full advantage of the boards and kayaks, but they were there. We did enjoy the masks, snorkel, boogie boards, water shoes and chairs. And the umbrellas! Although beautiful, it does rain a lot in Hilo in the winter.

Great Hilo Houses

Having two houses right together fit our size group (8 adults and three kids), and would have allowed several more people if we had needed.The location was perfect. The lovely rocky beach was just across the street and our group went kayaking, snorkeling or watching turtles every day. The house - particularly the kitchen, was furnished very well. When we needed something else it was delivered that day. There were enough towels for everyone. If I were to improve anything it would be the access between houses since we were going back and forth all the time.\All in all, we would go back again.

Excellent location!

We stayed for a few days in Hilo before heading over to the Kona area. We wanted to experience the volcano, black sand beaches, and snorkeling in the Hilo side. It was an excellent home for a larger group (8) and had all the amenities we needed. Lots of beach toys and snorkel gear. We walked over to the Richardsons Park for snorkeling and exploring multiple time. Of note, the houses, overall are dated. For the location and overall experience, we would recommend the home to others and would stay there again if in the area. The host sent over great info and ideas for the area. Our little girls loved the cats in the area. Coconut Grill was a great restaurant for our family.

Ohana time

Location is amazing! Great for multiple families as we used together for a celebration of life for uncle Hank! There are lots of Fun things for the beach like standup paddleboard, boogie boards, noodles, snorkeling gear, and beach toys to name a few… Upon check in I realize I did not have property code and 10 o’clock our time, I found Richard the property managers number, which he answered in the middle of the night their time, to get us in house I thank him so very very much. House is pretty weather as it is an older beach house but that’s a part of the character of the place… We would totally stay again if we need a place to accommodate all the family… We had some priceless memories and good times! Thank you for the opportunity! Aloha, The Fergerstrom family

About the host

Hosted by Richard Standke

Host profile image
Owner of 5 homes directly across from Richardson's Beach Park. I manage these homes personally with my cell number available to all guests. Payments are handled through the security of the Vrbo site. Guests also receive information on restaurants, shopping and my favorite places to visit.

Why they chose this property

In 2010 I stayed as a guest in a guest house 5 doors down from this property. After paying too much for air fare and a rental car, it made sense to pay a little extra to stay in a great location. A wise choice. We loved it so much we bought the property we were staying at. The owner of that property owned these homes. We referred guests to each other so we always kept in contact. Her busy life was too much for the vacation rental business and I was happy to expand my rental business. Now I spend part of my year in Hilo.
This place rivals any place on earth, as you will find out.

What makes this property unique

If you plan on staying more than a couple days, you will have to enjoy the location. If you love the water and especially snorkeling, you will not find a better location. The best snorkeling is in just a few feet of water right in front of the black sand beach. It is like swimming in a tropical fish store. Green sea turtles come to rest for the night in the evening at the rocks just beyond the black sand beach. The water is largely sheltered by the rocks creating a partial lagoon. Yet this house is just down the street from Downtown Hilo. Great for quick trips out to eat, shopping and many tourist locations. Review the "Location" tab for a list of over 20 great places to see.
