Family Friendly Home, with a Man Cave!

Traveling with the family or taking time for yourself, you'll love coming home to this beautiful home. Three bedrooms each with their own ensuite custom marble bathroom. Just a short walk to the Makuu cliffs to watch the whales go by. The Asian inspired decor is stunning. I have collected art throughout Asia and you are sure to enjoy the many carvings and paintings. The "Man Cave" has a giant flat screen TV, pool table, dart board and more. The home is on one acre and I live in a cottage on property. The landscaped property has many fruit trees for you to "pick" from. I have bikes for your use to explore the area.
The home is located in the Hawaiian Paradise Park subdivision. Centrally located to the airport, 20 minutes, lava flow 30 minutes and Volcano National Park 30 minutes.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. The bathroom has a jetted bathtub. Conveniences include a phone, as well as a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.

Amazing stay in Hilo!
We had such a wonderful time at this home! It was incredibly spacious, giving our whole family plenty of room to relax and enjoy ourselves. The place was spotless, and the attention to detail made it feel comfortable and inviting. The open layout allowed us to gather and spend quality time together, and we loved how close it was to all the beautiful spots in Hilo. It truly felt like a home away from home, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, spacious, and fun stay with family! family!!

Plenty of room, gorgeous property
House was great, plenty of room. Lots of fun things for the family, bikes, pool table, etc.. Nice to know host was close but didn't need anything. House is not far from the coast which is nice, bit of a drive to store, etc..Very quiet and peaceful, especially in the mornings on the big deck.

May 2024: Concerns with property
The positives: listing was accurate. Man-cave is renovated garage and has many activities and items to borrow for outdoor lifestyle. Serious considerations: No air conditioning (I should have confirmed before renting). Washer / dryer outside of home which added to bugs getting in house. There is a cockroach infestation in one of the upper bedrooms. Hundreds of them come in through bathroom light in ceiling at dusk. We had to close bathroom door and not use bathroom. This issue is not just living in Hawaii, this is a serious problem for the home. The hammock rope broke (very old and frayed) and my husband fell and hurt his hip when the rope snapped in use. Black mold in two ceiling areas in garage. Master bedroom is room off garage and was not clean (like it had not been fully dusted in a long time. Screens for doors and windows had tears, or did not set in tracks correctly when closing, which let more bugs in the house. Fire alarms disabled (one in bedroom was gone with wires hanging out of wall).

Hawai’i paradise
We had a tournament in Hilo so we decided to stay at another location close to Hilo since we’ve recently stayed in Hilo. The location was great! 2-3 minute mile ride to wonderful beach views. The house was big and spacious! Every room had its own private full bath and balcony! The amenities were great, from the game room to the snorkel gear to the bikes provided! There was a Sunday market no more than 8 minutes away that was great! All in all if I come back to the big island I’m staying here again.

Best house we could have picked
Amazing property. Unfortunately didn’t get a chance to meet Howard, but he was around if we had needed him. A lot of love and hard work put into the house. A lot of fun adventuring around the yard looking for fruit. Zero complaints.

The property is stunning and well kept. Gorgeous artwork and the energy of the place is so calming. It was a perfect spot for our family after watching our son dance at Merrie Monarch. Fun to go on a bike ride and play darts while on property. We will be back when we have time to enjoy the Big Island. Mahalo Uncle Howard for sharing your gorgeous home.

Keaa’u Paradise
This house was perfect for our family of 4. My kids enjoyed playing in the yard and looking for ripe fruit. We used all the fun amenities during our stay with family dart games, bike rides and pool games. The kitchen was very well stocked which made it great for cooking and eating dinner out on the deck. The house was very well kept and super clean and tidy. The drive to Hilo and volcano park was easy. Nice short bike ride to a beautiful ocean view and great whale watching spot. Icing on the cake was the little treats left for us by Howard. During our visit to Hawaii we stayed on both the Kona and Hilo side and this home blew us away and definitely made us feel like we were in paradise and would love to stay, which we did not get that same feeling from the place on the Kona side. 10/10 would recommend. Mahalo Howard!

Great stay!
We loved our stay at Howard's home. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host checked in and tried to help when there were internet issues on the island. There is a lot of living space and multiple couples or a larger family could comfortably stay at the house. The kitchen had most essentials for cooking. The hawaiian coffee and chocolates were a nice touch.

We were there for 7 days and enjoyed every minute of it. Howard is a wonderful host. We never ask for anything but I believe that if we had he would have tried to get it for us. If we ever go back to Hawaii we will try to stay there again. Thank you Howard.

The Perfect Place to Relax
The rental really offered everything we needed to relax. Complete with all the amenities and plenty of space for privacy. A very unique area with a lot to offer. Being able to eat fresh fruit each morning right from the property, was a nice bonus. Do yourself a favor, choose the rental to relax. By the way, Howard has all of the toys you need for fun as well.

Beautiful Island experience
The property is amazing with views and available fresh fruit from the trees on the property. A short bike ride down the street lies gorgeous trails that lead you out to the cliffs with amazing views of the ocean, sea turtles, locals fishing and a breathtaking sunrise if you are up early enough to catch it. The host was friendly, available for needs and offered great advice for first time travelers. Will definitely recommend and even return!!!

Big Island
We've had an excellent time on the island. It was a great location for all the trips we've taken. Howard is a great host with a big Hart. As a bonus the place has a shade for a car and beautiful garden. We've spent all our meal times on the spacious balcony.
