OCEANFRONT, SUNRISE HAWAIIAN HOME

If you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing place to rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul, look no further. This home and its location couldn’t be more perfect. The view is absolutely stunning. The neighbors are delightful. The locals are so friendly and we’ve even made some friends that we’ve kept in touch with there. The spirit of Aloha is alive and well!
Mornings are amazing. Whether you get up early for an easy jog along the rolling coastline, watch the spectacular sunrise while sipping on some Hawaiian coffee, or maybe a little of both.
During the day there is so much to see and do….the possibilities are nearly endless. Our personal favorites are Volcano National Park, snorkeling in the tide pools, Hilo Coffee Mill with their Saturday Market, and Sirius Coffee Company in Pahoa. Of course, mixing in relaxing days of walks on the lava beach, down to the black sand beach, and reading or resting out on the patio listening to the waves crash in are a must! If you happen upon the occasional cloud burst, be sure to watch for rainbows. We’ve never seen so many in one place!! And the landscape…this island is beautiful!!
Evenings have a magic of their own. The sunsets are gorgeous. The stars are so amazing!! We love to cook at the house (the fresh papaya tastes GREAT in salads or fresh salsa!), enjoying the meal over candle-light with the music of ocean waves crashing in…or maybe some Hawaiian tunes playing. Books, games, movies, visiting into the night before heading off to bed.
Best Coffee and/or Smoothies: Sirius Coffee Company (in Pahoa), Hilo Coffee Mill

We absolutely love it here and recommend it without hesitation! It’s always hard to come home.

Wow this place exceeded my expectations!

I came with some old collage buddies from all over the country to catch up and relax together. I've been to Oahu and Kauai in the past and was a little apprehensive about trying the Big Island because it is so different from all the others. Now that I've been there I would say it's my favorite island. So untouched. We arrived at this amazing home in a welcoming community full of friendly, warm, adventurous pioneers of all ages. I can't say enough good things about the locals here. Its such a small community that by the end of out trip we felt like we had met 90 percent of the locals and we were actually sad to say goodbye. My friends and I walked in and literally freaked out when we saw our home for the week. The wide open space with tasteful tiki decor really gives you the aloha feel. I think I was most surprised at how big this place actually is. As lovely as this space was we spent most of our time on the back porch watching the waves crash against the harden lava cliff. Stunning. Would I stay here again? Absolutely! Totally worth the money. Totally recommend this place.

Amazing space; breathtaking views from the beautiful A frame living area. Well stocked kitchen, very thoughtfully laid out. I will definitely be back!
