Absolute Oceanfront on Ancient Lava Cliffs! Whales, dolphins, turtles!
Swap the daily grind for luxurious absolute oceanfront tranquility with an escape to Paradise Breeze Retreat in Keaau, Hawaii. Only a 25 minute drive from Hilo Airport but a world away from stress. Stunning panoramic oceanfront views from every room and the audible delights of ocean waves provide an immersive Hawaiian island experience. Need to relax? Check out the 5 person hot tub spa! Need to work? Take advantage of free, fast fiber WIFI to be the envy of Zoom meetings. Fastest internet available on the island! Spinner dolphins, sea turtles and whales (November through March) beat any virtual background.
The Space: Beautiful furnishings, designed by NestEgg Designs, make the experience on the other side of your keypad protected private entrance as memorable as the coastal treasures provided by nature.
The chef-inspired kitchen with new stainless steel appliances is stocked with all the cooking utensils, pots, pans and dishes needed to cook delicious seaside meals. Serve your culinary delights with a side of paradise in a dining area with panoramic ocean views and a sliding door that opens up to the lanai.
For a complete oceanfront dining experience, pull up a chair on the lanai dining table or gather around the outdoor seating area. Allow the Hawaiian sea breeze to accompany your views of the beautiful lava rock cliffs and black sands of your paradise retreat.
There are two comfortable and stylish bedrooms from which to choose. The first bedroom features ocean views, a queen bed, floor to celling blackout curtains and a sliding screen door that leads out to the lanai. Accessible through bedroom one, the second bedroom has a queen bed, office desk and ample clothing storage.
Freshening up is a joy in the well-appointed bathroom featuring soft towels, hairdryer, toiletries and other travel amenities.
Paradise Breeze Retreat Amenities include:
Fastest Fiber WIFI available on the island, WiFi mesh system covers the entire property in case you want to work outside on the beautiful lanai, 5 person 38 jet Master Spas hot tub, Air conditioner and dehumidifier, free Parking, Full-sized stainless steel refrigerator, 5 burner Samsung stove w/ convection oven, dishwasher, cooking utensils, pots, pans, dishes, 55-inch HiDef Samsung Smart TV, Washer and dryer in unit, boogie/body surfing boards, beach towels and a cooler for your beach excursions.
Other Details To Note: All of the Big Island is rural and therefore can have the sounds of coqui frogs and roosters (they are wild throughout Hawaii) at night. Our retreat backs up to the ocean so most of these sounds will not bother you here. Please note the bedrooms are tandem meaning you have to walk through one bedroom to get to the other. There is a floor to ceiling blackout curtain in the first room that can be closed for privacy. This is a hosted rental meaning per Hawaiian law there is a host that lives in a separate unit on site. They are available for tourism advice, restaurant recommendations, maintenance needs or anything else that may arise.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The location is great for exploring the volcanoes, Mauna Kea, and just relaxing. We saw spinner dolphins right from the cliffs at the house! Would stay again!

This place is great, comfortable, clean, well decorated and everything you need. One of the best vrbo’s we’ve stayed. We loved staying here for our time in the Hilo area. We even saw whales in the back one morning. Chase and Allison were very helpful with helping with things to do with our 3 & 4 year old.

We stayed for a couple nights here on our trip to the Big Island to see Hilo and Volcano National park. The house had everything we needed and a spectacular view. The hosts are wonderful. Be sure to ask for their travel suggestions I should have asked sooner they had some great ones! Great property, location and hosts. We highly recommend!

This is a lovely spot right on the lava cliffs with waves crashing right in front of your garden seat.
Everything about this place is perfect.
Beds are superb.
We shall return!

The check-in process was nice and easy. The place was very well kept and very clean. They also left some site seeing ideas, to which, I think we did every one.
The veiw was amazing and the crashing wave was like waking in a dream and the hot tub just finished it off. My wife and I would definitely stay there again.
Thank you chad, it was very pleasurable and relaxing

Property is absolutely breathtaking. Wake up to a beautiful sunrise and ocean spray. Relax on one of the Adirondack chairs, while sipping your morning coffee and marveling at the black lava right below your feet. The hosts went above and beyond to make us feel very welcome with personal touches that made this remote hideaway not only the perfect spot for our 25th anniversary, but something we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

The major pros to renting this home were how close it was to the water on an amazing old lava flow. The views were spectacular and the sunset/sunrise was breathtaking. We very much appreciated the cleanliness of the home and the size was perfect for us. The only issue for us was the size and comfort level that the beds provided - both were more "double" than queen sized and the mattresses weren't great - the saving grace was definitely the sound of crashing waves that helped lull us to sleep. Would still recommend this spot to anyone despite the fact that the beds could use an upgrade.

The hosts have thought of everything at this location… it is truly as advertised, and then some! We were extremely pleased with the living space, comfortable beds and overall accommodations inside. The outside of the property is beyond amazing, as well, giving mesmerizing views of the Pacific. The property is very neat and clean, with attention to details by the host. We had everything we needed, and then some, including a very comfortable, new bed. Communication form the host was perfect, and we could not have asked for more. We will definitely be back!

This property is absolutely beautiful! Ocean is just outside your door. We stayed in Jan-Feb and saw lots of whales. Close to Volcano National Park. Hilo is only 10 miles away. Nice kitchen, bathroom. Chase (host) is awesome! Always ready and willing to provide information and helpful suggestions on what to do/where to go. Went above and beyond by supplying us with a "care package" when we weren't feeling well for a few days.

This beautifully decorated oceanfront home had everything the three of us we needed for a perfect Christmas holiday. We loved walking out from the covered patio onto the backyard lava cliff to watch the rolling turquoise waves, and sometimes saw sea turtles swimming. While dining on the patio we spotted whales spouting and breaching!
There is great communication with the owner, but also a very helpful booklet they’ve made of the best nearby beaches, activities, and dining. The kitchen is fully equipped. While cooking you can see orchids on the palms outside the window. We were impressed with the details that added to the beauty, comfort, and joyful experience at this home.

Place is more spacious than we need but very nice with everything we need for our stay. Kitchen is fully stocked so we made a nice dinner. Wish we didn't run around as much with activities to enjoy the ocean view more. Sunrise on the lanai couldn't have been better (well, maybe if the lounge chairs weren't wet every morning) ! I was afraid to fall off the cliffs (lol) so I didn't venture out far to find turtle. Place is secluded and like other places with view, it seems far from even the nearest foodland... or we are just really tired with activities, but it was a good middle ground to both VNP and Hilo. Wish we could walk to any local coffee, bakery or anything. Overall, I would definitely stay again next time I'm on this side of Big Island.

Perfect place with a breathtaking view of the amazing Pacific Ocean! When we first entered the house, we were surprised to find wine, candy, and a variety of treats made in Hawaii on a the counter. The refrigerator was stocked with bottled water, Hawaiian drinks, and condiments. The kitchen was well stocked. The bathroom was stocked with basics such as sunscreen, lotion, shampoo, etc. The bedrooms and living room had beautiful windows or sliding glass doors that opened to a beautiful garden and view of the ocean. The whole house was spotless. This is the second time we’ve stayed in this area and we absolutely love it. The sunrises are spectacular! Chase and Alison were very helpful and wonderful hosts.

We throughly enjoyed our stay! Great location close to Hilo and volcano. The property is clean, well designed, well maintained and excellent views of the ocean from both beds, and living area. Excellent spot for stargazing! We saw 4 shooting stars!!!! And finally the hot tub was an excellent touch to our last night of indulgence and relaxing vacation! Can’t wait to do it again.

Our stay was good. The view was beautiful and sleeping to the sound of the ocean was amazing. I was unaware at the time of booking that we would have a host on site so that was a bummer when it came to privacy. I also feel that for the same price you could get a whole house to yourself, as we have done in the past. The host was great at communicating, and even allowed us to check in early. This would be a great location for a family with kids but not if you're on your honeymoon. Overall we had a great time.

Our family stayed in this property in July 2022. This is one of best properties I have rented. we walked into a unit that was sparkling clean- cleaner than a hotel room. My kids (16 and 12), they set foot through the front door and their jaw dropped. A meticulously well maintained property with a back yard that is beautifully designed and maintained. Chase was excellent in communicating with us. We were here for a very short stay (Just visiting volcano national park), the park and this property were definitely highlights of the trip. The pantry had some essentials which came in handy . A big thank you to the hosts. Thank you Chase and Allison.
