2 soveværelser / 2 bad Oceanfront Cliff House On Hamakua Coast

Great location and view.Kitchen could use a deep cleaning.Could not find charger for vacuum.Closets were a bit cluttered.

We were there Jan14-17 2026. It’s an older home tucked into a quiet neighborhood about 25 miles north of Hilo—so it’s a bit remote if that matters to you. We loved the location and neighborhood. As someone else mentioned, the interior has a cozy “Maine cabin” feel, but it’s nice and clean, with amenities as advertised. The deck is huge and very comfortable, with an amazing view over the North Pacific! The owners are great—very communicative and helpful. We left the doors open and screens closed all the time; it does not have AC, but it’s not needed, as the ocean breezes keep it cool day and night. We had no bugs. Enjoyed oranges from the tree on the grounds and had a nice visit with the neighbor/caretaker Lin when she stopped by with just-picked fresh fruit.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is a beautiful home in a local area and you really feel the history around you. The fresh fruit from the yard was a beautiful surprise and we incorporated pieces in every meal we cooked. Now, for my favorite part- my husband and I frequent new places and never stay in hotels, we like to blend in, cook new foods from local farmers everywhere we go. Tom and Chow have a fully functioning kitchen! My husband and I have had to get very creative in some rentals because there just was not enough pots,pans,utensils,etc to make a gourmet meal. They even had some kitchen convenience items that surprised me to find. I understand but everyone who vacations wants to cook, but it's worth mentioning how pleasant it was to have everything we could have wanted. Feedback on the rest of the home: yard - beautiful, fragrant, and beautifully landscape but natural looking very balanced; Beds- comfortable and the ocean breeze flowing through the airy curtains was superb; Cleanliness- very clean and tidy; Communication- very responsive to questions concerns or just curiosity. All over a magical stay!

This rustic house feels kind of like a Maine cabin, but with a much more dramatic view. It sits up high on a sloping cliff above a surf-pounded little paint of volcanic point way down below. That point of land is a little park, much more suitable for appreciating the forces of nature than beach relaxation.The muffled roar of the ocean way down below was quite relaxing, and we were visited by colorful little geckos and even what I believe may have been a pair of Hawai'ian hawks.We used the house as a base for visiting Hilo, Akaka Falls and Rainbow falls. We also launched from here to visit Hawi and Kohala.The big selling point of this house is the lanai overlooking the vast ocean. Just sorry we did not get to enjoy it much. Thank you to our hosts for sharing their vacation home with us. It was a memorable part of our 10-night trip to the Big Island.

This is our second time staying at this property. It’s comfortable with a fabulous view. It’s the perfect spot for exploring this side of the island. It’s in a very central location in a quiet neighborhood. Owners are communicative Highly recommend this property!
