Kahikole: Oceanfront home with stunning, rugged ocean cliff views

This Oceanfront home on a half acre of land in Hawaiian Paradise Park gives you the privacy and serenity you're looking for. Set just back from the cliffs it is in full view of the glorious sunrise and dramatic sapphire blue ocean year round! The landscaping, front gate and rock walls offer this home a nice degree of privacy.

The two story house has separation between the living areas and bedroom suites. Downstairs are two master suites, each with an en-suite bathroom. Both bedroom windows look out onto the ocean. Wake up and marvel at the views right from bed! The south suite bathroom has a full bathtub and shower and the north suite bedroom has a TV and the bathroom has a slate-tiled walk-in shower and two vanity sinks. There is also a laundry closet with washer and dryer close to the bedrooms for your convenience. Upstairs you will find an even more impressive view of the ocean from the covered lanai and from inside. Here is a living room, dining area and open kitchen. Also upstairs is a study, SMART TV and another bathroom with shower. The gourmet kitchen is finished with Quartz counters, stainless appliances, dishwasher and a Viking gas range, fun for cooks!.

The property is fully landscaped with beautiful bougainvillea, plumbago and colorful hibiscus flowering plants! The home is extremely well maintained. Water is provided via rain water catchment and is filtered for indoor use. 

Hawaiian Paradise Park is conveniently located about 10 miles south of Hilo and the Hilo International airport. From here you can visit Volcanoes National Park (45 min drive), Pohoiki black sand beach (50 minute drive), Hilo (15 min drive) and the gorgeous Hamakua Coast with waterfalls, botanical gardens and lush Hawaiian forests (30-90 min drives).

Book with confidence—this is a licensed, legal vacation rental managed by professionals with decades of local experience. Always double check that you are booking a place that is operating legally in Hawaii - no surprises, just aloha!

Spectacular home!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was so unique! I loved to sleep with the windows open to hear the waves crashing and the coqui frogs. The upper deck was my favorite place to just sit and relax with morning coffee or just to read a book, the view is stunning. Everything was very clean upon arrival and kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need. The trade winds and fans kept it cool. Neighborhood was friendly. Would absolutely stay here again!

Kahikole is the perfect place to stay if you want peace and quiet. The view from the lanai, the living space, and the bedrooms is awesome. The drive to Hilo, Kalapana, Volcano isn’t short, but well worth it.

Unique Property - Zen Experience

Our stay at Kahikole was even better than we could have imagined. The photos don’t even do the property justice. The home is so unique, with a single entryway and vestibule that is open air and yet protected from the rain. This provided nice breezes throughout our stay. The home was very clean and well-appointed with very comfortable beds. We slept with the windows open and were lulled to sleep by the soft sounds of waves and the meditative sounds of the coqui frogs (may not be for everyone). We spent most of our days just sitting on the deck enjoying the birds and watching the occasional dolphin pod go by. The views are unobstructed and amazing, allowing for wonderful sunrises and sunsets. The water twinkled like diamonds. The grounds are well landscaped and maintained and there are lots of other places to relax and read a book. We also enjoyed making friends with the resident gecko family roaming around the house (may not be for everyone, but they are truly harmless and very cute). The internet connection was fast so we could get work done quickly. The added bonus was the fact that Salt Water Vacations accommodated our last-minute request for a late check out, which allowed us to enjoy this wonderful property up until we had to leave for the airport. 100% would recommend booking your stay here. I know we will be back.

4 days in paradise

We all absolutely loved it. The view out the back to the ocean was totally awesome. Every day we sat on the second floor back porch for the sunrise and to watch the waves crash against shore and in the evenings just to listen to it. The house itself was very very nice with great views everywhere. Everything we needed was there. We highly recommend this property. Would love to come back some day.

Everything about this home was incredible. Clean, well stocked, gorgeous views, comfortable beds/linens. The only down side is that it is about 5 miles off the main road but that's what also makes it so special. Would stay here again without question.

Private location and unique property

This home is a great spot for watching the sunrise in the morning or the whales in the afternoon. One of the best equipped rental kitchens I've ever seen. Very unique home with circular layout and wonderful ocean views from almost every spot. The private ocean-front location is "first in class"-amazing! Very convenient to visit Volcanoes National Park or to drive up to Hilo (check out the Farmer's Mkt. and Ken's House of Pancakes) and the coastal areas to the north. Only negative we experienced was the electricity being out one of our three evening there (out of their control, but a real bummer nonetheless). It is a bit of a drive to grab groceries, so you may want to plan ahead so you can maximize your time enjoying the stunning views from this property once you arrive!

Paradise for days!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second stay in this home and it won’t be the last. The views, the house, the volcanic cliffs, the gorgeous yard, and the location. It’s in the perfect spot to nest and explore the entire island conveniently. Sitting on the cliffs in the mornings with coffee and evenings with cocktails watching the waves and the changing light from sunrise and sunset is magical. Make sure you grab supplies in Hilo before you go to house. The neighborhood is wonderful and always people walking or biking. Love the separation of bedrooms downstairs and the leisure areas upstairs. The house is so beautiful and relaxing and inviting we never even turned on the television or music. The waves and the coqui frogs were exactly the relaxing sounds we wanted!

Return to the big island

I brought my family to Hilo (to be followed by Kona) as it had been more than 20 years since my last visit. This house was a perfect choice--solitude with a stunning lava cliff coast...sitting on the deck overlooking the gorgeous water color and turtles swimming was beyond therapeutic. In addition, the lush yard in the front/sides did feel like authentic Hilo. The layout of the home was functional and decorated well and had a perfect vibe. I enjoyed my nights sleeping with the windows open (no AC) and listening to the ocean and rain showers and frog songs. Only negative was when the blinds are open at night when the wind picks up they tend to bump back and forth on the windows. Also, it's a bit of a drive to get into Hilo town but this is definitely tolerable because we sought solitude in a gorgeous location. Rental staff was accommodating and checked in with us by text, etc. I would definitely rent this home again if given the possibility (and will secretly dream of purchasing one similar to this one someday!)

Great view

We love the uniqueness of the house. The views were outstanding. We loved walking outside on the lava cliff walls when we got there. The only thing we didn’t like was a bit of drive to everywhere you had to go. But we were prepared to travel. It was a nice launching point for a lot of the things we wanted to do on the Hilo side.
