  • Summary:

    Spacious ocean-view getaway steps to coast with WiFi, patio



    The Space:

    Boasting over 2,300 square feet of living space, and panoramic ocean views throughout, an idyllic island retreat await at Mele Kai, a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath getaway located mere steps from the coast. Highlights include a spacious and private primary suite, a gourmet kitchen, and ocean-view alfresco dining. Spend fun-filled days viewing sea turtles at Shipman Beach, sampling the culture and cuisine of nearby Hilo, exploring black sand beaches, or venturing to Hawaii Volcano National Park for an epic geological expedition. Unwind into vacation mode under the soaring vaulted ceiling in the living area, furnished with a sofa and two armchairs. In the evening, settle in to enjoy favorite shows on the 60-inch TV. Slide open the glass doors and enjoy the soothing sounds of the waves. Prepare fresh meals in the gourmet kitchen, equipped with granite countertops and a full suite of high-end appliances. While dinner simmers, perch at the island bar with seating for four. When it’s time to eat, gather around the four-person dining table.



    This two-story home sleeps six guests in three bedrooms. Find ultimate comfort in the spacious main suite, complete with a stately king bed and walk-in closet, as well as a private lanai with seating for two and panoramic ocean views. The en-suite bathroom is configured with a double vanity and a walk-in shower with custom stonework. The two guest rooms are both furnished with a full-size bed. The guest bathroom includes an enchanting outdoor shower with two showerheads. A half bath provides added convenience. Start the day with fresh Kona coffee and inspiring ocean views on the back lanai. In the evening, dine alfresco at the outdoor table, which seats four comfortably. Extra perks include complimentary WiFi and a washer/dryer.

This house was The Hilo Hawaii experience for us! Steps away from the lava cliff ocean side! Unique little elements (the shower areas!!) of this house make it high end and such an experience; Almost made it hard to want to leave each day to explore the area… do note, There is a public spot just in the back side of the house that locals like to come to park, sometimes music was loud… but typically stopped by midnight. All beaches in HI are public and we couldn’t blame them! We enjoyed walking back and forth having outside too! Overall it was safe and we will definitely recommend for a family to enjoy!!

This house is exactly as described. We loved many aspects of this house: the lanai, the walkway to the cliffs behind the house, the outdoor shower, the spaciousness & layout of the home, and the view / location. It is in a residential area, so it is mostly quiet. The tree frogs did talk most of the time, but it became relaxing. Yes, there was a free-range rooster that sang to us in the morning, but it wasn't too bad. It did not hinder our stay. Yes, the cliffs do attract a few locals throughout the day, but they are quiet. We didn't notice any loud noises during our stay. Overall, we all loved this house.

Really liked this place

The location of this place is great, we love this neighborhood. We first stayed here about 8 years ago. There have been some very nice upgrades to it since then. New mattress, couch, outdoor furniture and ceiling fans. Place was clean, plenty of starter products and toiletries that got us the 2 of us through the week. Sunrises from the lanai were fantastic. Definitely would stay here again.

Spacious house in a beautiful location

We have stayed here several times. We like that it is easy to walk to the beach park and either go to Maku'u Point along Beach Road and Ala Heiau Road, or to Kaloli Point along Beach Road and Paradise Ala Kai. The house itself is very room and airy, and we like the semi-outdoor shower: the doors add plenty of privacy, and you can get to it from inside. The upstairs shower is nice too, but doesn't have two shower heads.

Custom home in Excellent Location

We loved hearing the Ocean every night. Walk from home to Makuu and Puna Trail for hiking. Walk out backyard to sit on lava with ocean views. Feel lucky to see whales and sea turtles from there. The entire home was perfect especially outdoor and walk in bathrooms. Mahalo Mele Kai.

Overall great stay!

Take note..we would definitely stay here again. Large home well appointed and generally very clean. Pro's..listen to the ocean 24/7, although close to public access, we felt very safe here, and well away from tourist traffic. Cons..its out there a bit, no stores nearby to grab the little things you forgot. Like I said earlier, generally very clean, but we found a big dead bug as we put our bags down when entering the property which taking into consideration where you are, its kind of to be expected. Would definitely stay here again in the future.

Wow

The property more than met my expectations as I found myself saying wow a lot during our stay. Paradise Cliffs is just beyond the backyard. It was beautiful. HPP is a beautiful and strategic place to stay to explore all the wonderful places on the Hilo side of the island. There are lots of birds, lizards, & geckos all around the house & the geckos know how to get inside the house. Its cool. I hope to return again in the future.

Great property, though out of the way.

This was a beautiful home. The views were wonderful, and the atmosphere was exactly what we wanted. While this does sleep six, be aware that you will have to double up in each bedroom. The outdoor shower looks and sounds a bit weird, but ended up being one of our favorite parts of the stay! There's no AC, and it was a little hot when we got there, but the cool sea breeze kept things quite comfortable once you opened up the doors and windows. Over all the house was very clean, there were a few geckos in the house, but they were never a bother, just freaked out the girls. The only real complaint is that it was a bit out of the way of things. It's at least a 10 minute drive to any place to eat or shop. Also the cliffs right behind the house are public and get. A LOT of traffic. It was never really a bother, but there were cars pulling in and out well into the AM. Usually pretty quiet, but there was one night they played music until around 1 AM. It wasn't enough yo really bother anyone, but it was audible. All in all, it was beautiful and relaxing. We would highly reccomend if you're looking for some R&R and aren't worried about the seclusion.

Mele Kai is Wonderful!

Comfortable and serene with sweet artistic touches everywhere, and fantastic showers. Great setting along the ocean cliffs perfect for early morning sunrise walks. Our whole family loved it.
