Amazing Hamakua Coast Oceanfront Retreat - 2BR Private Home

Walk through the front door into a vaulted great room with expansive windows looking out to the ocean. Our home offers an incredible location and an elegant tropical house with bamboo floors, granite counters, and colorful landscaping. We host up to 6 guests in two separate bedroom/bath suites each with its own lanai from which to enjoy the sunrise, the stars and the breezes from the ocean. There is also a pull out futon in the living room for guests 5 or 6. The spacious oceanfront lanai of the house also has an outdoor sink/bar for outdoor entertaining.

Please watch our YouTube video by searching Salt Water Hawaii The Cliffs at Hakalau

The owners of The Cliffs at Hakalau have created a website with loads of info about the home, the surrounding area, and Hawaii Island. The URL is the name of the property.

Our home features two spacious bedrooms, the Hamakua (with King bed) and the Hilo (with Cal-King bed), each boasting its own private bath. The bathroom of the Hamakua room features an extra large, luxurious Jacuzzi tub with full glass windows offering a wide open ocean view. In addition, a separate door off of the Hamakua bath leads you onto a nice wooden lanai and a fabulous, outdoor shower. Both bedrooms have astonishing ocean views right from bed! Our kitchen is outfitted for you to cook up local foods in style. Sit at our elegant Stickley dining room set while watching the ocean - maybe you'll spot whales in winter passing by! The living room has lots of comfortable seating including a sectional sofa, several arm chairs, and a futon which doubles as the bed for guests 5 and 6. A full laundry room is also provided.

Need more room? You can also rent the neighboring Treehouse at Hakalau - ask us if it is available for your dates. Sleeps four.

Hilo is known for its warm aloha spirit, relaxed lifestyle, unique shops, art galleries and restaurants with local regional cuisine. Local attractions include Lyman Museum, East Hawaii Cultural Center, historic Palace Theatre, Pacific Tsunami Museum, Imiloa Astronomy Center, UH Hilo Performing Arts Center and Hawaii Tropical Botanical Gardens. Hilo Farmers Market is a favorite for fresh, local produce. Merrie Monarch Festival, Hilo's premier hula competition and cultural event, is held annually. Hilo's black sand beaches are some of the best for snorkeling, diving, surfing, paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming with turtles and tropical fish, or watching the whales off shore. Take a helicopter volcano tour or scenic drive to Kilauea Volcano (when flows are active) to view a lava caldera, or tour the summit and view the night skies of Mauna Kea.

We are near Highway 19, only 15 minutes to the town of Hilo, 20 minutes to the Hilo Airport and an approximate 2 hour drive to Kona. This is a great central location to tour and see the inspiring vistas the Island of Hawaii has to offer.

This is a Hawaii County licensed short term rental.

Wonderful house north of Hilo
I feel spoiled to have stayed in this house. It’s situated on immaculate grounds, about 20 min north of Hilo. There was plenty of space for my family of 5 (kids 13, 11 and 6). We really enjoyed viewing stars, the close proximity to Akaka Falls, and the lush front yard area. House is nicely appointed, had everything we could have need and was a lovely getaway!

BEAUTIFUL view - NO a/c OR hot water
The view is AMAZING!!!! Was cool & breezy at night - quite hot during the day with no air. About 10min to a general store with snacks, drinks & yummy authentic breakfast. It was tough without hot water for showers & dishes. The kids had no problem enjoying the outdoor shower but the women had to wait till we left & went to our next destination. Mahalo.

Beautiful!!
The home is beautiful! Peaceful and relaxing. Landscaping was so perfect. When reviewing the property when I booked, I thought we would have access to the main house and tree house, and was advised the property would be private just for my husband and myself. Upon arrival found the owner lives in the tree house. Nice fella. Read the book upon arrival to see what's around and what to expect.

Beautiful home 20 minutes north of Hilo
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful private oceanfront home. Sunrises were beautiful! It is a bit north of Hilo so it was at least a 20 minute drive if we chose to go out to eat. Being on the “wet” side of the island, we experienced intermittent rain almost every day, which gave us lush tropical views and the rain did not prevent us from getting out and experiencing nature everyday. The location was ideal for us otherwise, as we traveled all over the island and didn’t intend to just hang out in Hilo. Having the rooms on either side of the home was ideal for us. Each couple had their own space away from each other, as well as their own outside area. One thing the others in our group found challenging was that the counters are set higher than normal counter height. Even though there is no air conditioning we found the air flow with the breeze off the ocean and windows open worked great for cooling the place down at night when we got back from exploring.

Wonderful!
If you’re going to Hilo stay here! Everything about this home was wonderful. The view is knock down gorgeous and the home doesn’t disappoint. We found ourselves arriving early and the property manager let us check in a couple hours early. Hilo is not far away and is a quaint little town with many farmers markets and a nice local grocery store. The food and restaurants where delicious. Kekela was very responsive anytime we had questions or concerns and needed to text which was rare. We absolutely loved our stay and will stay again if we find ourselves back in Hilo!

A Welcome Sanctuary
We were in awe of this place from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Upon walking through the door we were immediately greeted by an amazing view of the ocean from the massive bank of windows at the front of the home. We were treated to breaching whales, starry skies, and beautiful sunrises. The house was immaculate, spacious, and well stocked. It gave ample space for our family of four to spread out and relax. It was a reasonable distance from the hustle and bustle of Hilo and gave us the peace and relaxation we were seeking.

Heaven in Hilo
It was dark and raining when we arrived at the Cliff House but even in those conditions we were WOWED as soon as we opened the front door. The Cliff House is beautiful, warm, and Inviting. And where else can you see whales while washing dishes or just sitting on the couch! Communication was excellent. Five days just weren’t enough. We look forward to returning.

Wonderful home!
This home is listed accurately. It is beautiful! Perfect for two couples - bedroom and bath on each side and large spacious living area and kitchen in between. The decks and patio are awesome! Fairly well equipped kitchen, although be prepared for buying some basic essentials ... aluminum foil, baggies, spices, etc. Breathtaking views of the ocean. We saw whales every day. The neighborhood is great and the home is a quick drive to Hilo and many attractions... Highly recommend the Cliff House!

Speech fails to capture the enchantment of this house. Here we are, nestled with my parents and our little one, and as a couple, we've uncovered the ultimate Hawaiian retreat during our two-decade-spanning visits. This property and its neighborhood transport us to a paradise where every dawn and dusk unfurls like a mesmerizing painting, uniting us as a family. Our splendid abode keeps us not only secure but also in perfect harmony with nature. Our hearts brim with longing to return to this idyllic haven, again and again."

Gorgeous Views!
Immediately walking through the front door you are greeted with floor to ceiling windows with views of the ocean! No air conditioning; however, with the windows and doors open and the fans provided, the house was comfortable even for sleeping at night. Kitchen was well stocked. Perfect location if wanting to stay close to Hilo!

We loved staying at this beautiful, well kept piece of paradise. The sunrise views were awesome and the sound of the waves melodic. The pictures on line well depict the property. Birds and frogs sang to us. The privacy was perfect for us. The three of us thoroughly enjoyed staying here. Thank you for the privilage.
