Best Hilo Location. Luxury Ocean Frt, black sand & turtles @ Richardsons Beach

Welcome to the “BEACHES” house.
Overview:
Stay on the water close to Hilo without staying downtown. Stay in a well landscaped home that is maintained to avoid mosquitos. Enjoy almost half an acre across the street from Richardson’s Beach Park. One of the 7 stops of the Hop-on Hop-off bus tours. Famous for their population of Green Sea Turtles and snorkeling. Enjoy the best snorkeling of east Big Island at your doorstep. Take out the kayak and learn to stand up paddle board.

• House includes free use of Kayak, bikes, stand up paddle board, boogie boards, snorkel gear.

Activities:
There is more to do in and around Hilo than any town on any of the Islands. It just isn’t well advertised because there aren’t resorts to promote the area.

Modern Hilo:
• Shop large stores for all your supplies. Just a quarter mile above the Hilo airport is a Walmart, Target, newer Safeway, mall with modern movie theater and cute stores.
• Looking for familiar fast food? In the same area is a Burger King, Panda Express and Starbucks. Just up the street on the north side is a Subway, Jack in the Box, McDonalds and Domino’s Pizza.
