One of the things we always look for in a rental is privacy. This luxury house is so private you wont see another house or person while on the premises. The owners DO NOT live on site, it’s all yours! You can walk around the ocean bluffs and tropical garden in your PJ’s completely unseen. The house sits on a “U” shaped bluff overlooking the ocean and it feels like your on a little island because the ocean view encircles both side yards and the back yard. The waves crashing on the cliffs provide a constant meditation soundtrack.
The exit to the road leading to the house is labeled “Scenic Route” and is an absolute paradise. The area is the prettiest near Hilo, with huge jungle vines, full shade cover from a rainforest, and a full rainbow of exotic flowers. This is all a short stroll from the house (just down the driveway). The yard has a lot of trees too, but also has a huge lawn that lets the sun shine through. If you want to see the general area before you choose this house check out the website for the Tropical Bioreserve and Garden https://htbg.com. The Bioreserve is a good representation of the surrounding area on the scenic route.
The only surfing break in the Hilo area is a short two minute drive away from the house.
The master bedroom has a huge window that spans almost the entire wall, maximizing the ocean view. The window opens, creating an indoor-outdoor feel. Everything in the house is great, but when you see this master bedroom setup nothing else matters, you know you made the right choice. Words don’t do it justice.
The kitchen is huge with an island that could host a wedding. There is a gorgeous patio and comfy furniture. There is a guesthouse with kitchenette that is separate from the house. Parking is easy. If your traveling with family or friends this is a good choice because there are spaces for everyone to have alone time. The back lawn is huge, you could play soccer or football back there.
The drive in to Hilo is quick and easy. We never felt bothered by the 10-15 minute drive to the store. Hilo town is a lot of fun but if you want privacy staying near the Bioreserve is your best bet.
Make sure to check out Carlsmith Beach (don’t stay in this area it gets noisy) in Hilo town while your there and bring your snorkel!
