About this property

Spectacular Views and Natural Beauty

On the slopes of Mauna Kea, at 1200’ above the little town of Honomu is located the great waterfall of Akaka. Nearby, on top a hill is our private little piece of paradise. The house overlooks a vast swath of East Hawaii. From the blue of Hilo Bay to the mountain top of Mauna Kea , and across miles of the Hamakua Coast. You can see sights of verdant splendor from this home which sits on fifteen acres that borders a stream. This idyllic setting and the comfort of this home gives your spirit a lift. You 'get away from it all feel'.
Main house Upstairs has private entry and exclusive use of hot tub and lanai. There are three bedrooms and two baths, a fully equipped kitchen , dining area with seating for 6 people. Open lanai has a hot tub for relaxation after a long day enjoying the sights.
Main bedroom has king size bed, adjoining bathroom. The other two guest bedrooms have queen sized beds that share a full bath. Each room has an incredible view.
This is a one of a kind place to get away.
The property sits on 15 acres with a gated entry.
NOTE: A private first floor area is occupied by Host/manager/owner.

Beautiful, relaxing location
This house was the perfect location for us. We were visiting the Big Island to connect with various family which was a wonderful and busy time. Coming back to this house up in the windward hills provided the perfect contrast to our busy times. The views are beautiful, daytime, morning sunrises, evening sunsets, rain coming in over the ocean, rainbows, night skies filled with stars, more beauty than one could hope for. The 3 bedrooms are very comfortable; the house is furnished quite nicely with Hawaii style decor. Loved it. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes, cooking utensils, even condiments. Hot tub on the porch with view to the open skies. What is not to love. I would come back to this location in a heart beat.

Great view and quiet
Have stayed there 3 times. It’s way off the highway and quiet, except for the coqui frogs…

Paradise
When you visit understand this is not the Ritz but you’re there to be with nature. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to world and this is the most peaceful place I’ve ever been. The hosts interacted with us when needed and our kids loved the donkeys and waterfall. The stars and sounds at night are like nothing we’ve ever experienced. Thank you to the host and owners for sharing your piece of heaven.

A Week in Paradise!
Awesome house and location! The property was exactly as described. Krystle and Alec were great hosts: helpful, but not intrusive. It's ultra-quiet and peaceful, but only 20 minutes from Hilo. This was our first (and likely only) trip to Hawaii. A family trip celebrating graduations/ anniversary/ birthdays/ Christmas, etc. We visited Akaka Falls, the Botanical Garden, Hilo, Kona, Puna, the Southernmost Point, VNP, Mauna Kea, Waimea, and other points. The house was a welcome base to come home to at night. Relaxing in the hot tub, swimming at their own private waterfall (the path isn't for the faint of heart) and enjoying the animals helped make the trip complete. We looked at many other potential properties when deciding where to stay. After a week of exploring the Big Island, I was happy to say we made the perfect choice. Thank you for a amazing week! -db
