Further details for this vacation house rental in Hilo, Hawaii

Activities:: From the oceanfront lanai you can sun bathe, dine and watch the sea turtles, dolphins and whales frolic. Explore the coastline tide pools or fish off the bluff. A short distance from blacksand beaches, hot ponds, waterfalls, golf, kayaking, Volcano National Park, shops and restaurants. Swimming, surfing, diving, fishing, snorkeling, or relax at nearby Isaac Hale Park, Pohoiki Bay, MacKenzie State Park, Puala'a Warm Springs, fabulous Kapoho Point, Kalani Honua Culture Center. Shopping, banking, medical facilities, restaurants, etc. in nearby quaint Pahoa Town. Have the best of both worlds: peace and serenity combined with as much activity as you feel like! Olympic size swimming pool in Pahoa (free!), fine restaurants in Hilo, Pahoa, & Keaau! Be sure to catch the Makuu farmers market on weekends, or the Hilo farmer's market!

The Alohahouse: The oceanfront Alohahouse property sits spectacularly oceanfront on the pristine Puna Coast in the Hawaiian Paradise Park subdivision just south of Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home offers the vacationer an up close and personal ocean experience! You can't get much closer to the ocean without being in it! It lulls you to sleep at night and the sunrises are so incredibly awesome - you will want to get up early even if you are on vacation! In the winter months, you can hear and see the whales that come in quite close because the ocean is deep in front of the property. This is a great spot to catch fish from the bluff and cook right on the barbecue!

Decorated island style with rattan furnishings and overhead ceiling fans in all the rooms, the home stays very comfortable all year! Sometimes you might even need a sweathshirt in the winter months! This home is centrally located and it is just a short drive to Volcano National Park, the Kapoho tide pools, and Hilo International Airport. The location is superb for the traveler wanting to set up base for the ultimate Big Island adventure. The oceanfront lanai is the place you will probably want to hang out after your day trips! The kitchen is fully equipped with all your dining needs, all linens are provided, along with soap, and laundry detergent (you won't have time for that though!) There is also an outdoor shower to rinse off after surfing, swimming, snorkeling, or hiking the volcano. We provide a cooler for your day outings too!

Hands down the best stay!

Dan and Bryan Judsonia, AR
Review Submitted: May 6, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
The only word that comes to mind is WOW. We were so happy with our stay at the Dolphin House that we plan to stay there gain on our next trip to the Big Island. We felt right at home from the first minute. You can't beat the beautiful ocean view and listen to the crashing waves all day. What a way to go to sleep at night listening to the waves. What we liked the most of the location was that it was peaceful and calm....away from the huslte and bustle of "touristy" resorts. You have a piece of the ocean all to yourself. We highly recommend this to anyone who is wanting to spend some time on the Hilo/Puna side. Thanks again Pat and Andy!
Owner's Response: We love being so close to the ocean with the everchanging sights and sounds! The Puna Coast certainly offers the traveler a nice break from touristy resorts! That's why we love it too! Pat & Andy

Peaceful retreat away from it all

Aussie roadsters Sydney, Australia
Review Submitted: April 29, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Had a very short but very enjoyable stay. Highlight was definitely sitting on the deck chairs out on the lava flow, glass of wine, watching the turtles surf the waves.. with a very distant sighting of a last lonely whale at the end of the season. The house was comfortably furnished, had everything we needed, with great ocean views. The house is in a secluded area, very peaceful, but with easy access back to Hilo and the volcano.

Unfortunately the vog levels meant we didn't get to see the lava flow at night, but had a great day up at the volcano, would definitely recommend doing a Ranger Walk, very informative. Also, Pescatore Italian restaurant in Hilo, great food, kids menu available.
Owner's Response: One thing I love about the property is that it has the feeling of being on the "edge of the earth" with how oceanfront the property is, but it is also a very easy commute to Pahoa, Keeau, & Hilo. One of my favorite things to do is to sit and watch the everchanging ocean with dolphins, turtles, and whales in the winter months. The vog is very rare at the oceanfront home because of the cooling trade winds, but when the Kona winds are blowing, there can be vog at the Volcano.

Just a slice of heaven!

spiders3 Seguin, Texas
Review Submitted: July 7, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
The location and view couldn't be any more dramatic and wonderful! The first morning we were greeted by a pod of about 25 dolphins swimming together and breaching in a spectacular show. One week here just wasn't enough!! We rented the house and the cottage - which was also wonderfull! The breeze off of the ocean was refreshing and kept the house/s cool. We had everything that we needed at the house - and the owner couldn't have been more helpful! We did day trips to the Volcano night viewing - where the lava meets the sea, the tidepools, (where we swam with sea turtles) and Volcano National Park - don't miss the lava tube and if you are adventurous take a flashlight and go into the dark part of the tube!! The location was near enough to HIlo to get what we needed - about a 10 minute drive. THe farmer's market downtown is wonderful. If you love to cruise and always wanted a giant suite with a grand balcony to watch the sea - then you will have your dreams come true at Dolphin Bay House! The ocean is so near that you feel as if you are on a ship, and the roar of the waves crashing onto the rocks, will lull you to sleep!! This is definately a vacation home that we would love to return to again and again!! The furniture and beds are completely comfortable and there are ceiling fans in the rooms, for the rare moments when the breeze dies down. Our children ranged in ages from 15 - 7 and they all loved the home!! You have to know/watch your children here, though, as the cliff is right behind the house. We set boundaries of the yard and our children knew that they were not allowed on the lava rocks.If your children understand safety issues and follow the rules - they would be fine here. We felt perfectly safe sleeping with the windows open to allow for the breeze. The house is located in a lovely neighborhood - a great place for walking/jogging. This house is a slice of heaven - if you did nothing and went nowhere but just sat and listened to the waves and watched the ocean - you will never get a better view or a better value!! Mahalo, Pat and Andy, we dream of Dolphin Bay, still!!
Owner's Response: Mahalo for choosing our home! Hope you can come back sometime! Pat
