Experience the Beautiful AC Vacation Beach Property, Minutes to Best Snorkeling Beaches in Hi

When searching for an idyllic getaway in Hilo, you’ll find that our beautiful AC vacation beach property is perfectly situated just moments away from the finest snorkeling beaches on the island. Whether you're looking to bask in the sunshine or dive into the vibrant underwater world, this rental offers the best of both worlds.

Our spacious three-bedroom beach house, along with inviting studio units, has been lovingly named Hale Nani Ma Ka Lihi Kai, meaning "Beautiful Home at the Ocean’s Edge." This cherished name was bestowed upon us by esteemed Kumu Hula who grace us with their presence each year during the renowned Merrie Monarch Hula Festival held in Hilo.

You will appreciate the convenience of being only steps away from the ocean and sandy shores, where sunbathing and swimming await. The nearby tide pools offer a captivating experience as you watch turtles thrive along the cliffs and dolphins frolic in the distance. Just a short drive brings you to the popular Richardson's Beach Park, recognized for its exceptional snorkeling, boogie boarding, and swimming opportunities.

This vintage Kama’aina beach home features an upstairs one-bedroom unit, a two-bedroom unit below, and a cozy adjoining studio. It’s a fantastic setup for families traveling together while still wanting private areas to retreat. An expansive outdoor covered patio invites you to gather for grilling and dining al fresco while soaking in the soothing sounds of the ocean waves.

Inside the upstairs unit, you'll find a queen bed in the bedroom along with a comfortable queen futon sofa sleeper in the living room. The full kitchen and bath are complemented by two inviting living areas and a large patio overlooking a tranquil pond and garden. While ceiling fans circulate the tropical air, air conditioning provides relief on those warm Hawaiian nights. The downstairs unit includes a kitchenette featuring a microwave and refrigerator, a combined living and dining area, a full shower bath, and two bedrooms—one furnished with a full-size bed and the other with a queen.

The walkway leads to the charming studio unit, which boasts a complete kitchen and living/dining area, alongside a shower bath. This space also accommodates a queen bed and a full-size futon sofa sleeper for additional comfort.

Entertainment is at your fingertips with cable televisions available throughout the living spaces and large screen TVs in the main areas. Our vacation rental is ideally located along the scenic ocean drive in the heart of Hilo, making it convenient for visitors eager to explore popular attractions on the east side of the island. You’re just five minutes from the airport, local shops, restaurants, lush gardens, bustling fish markets, and the vibrant Downtown Farmer's Market.

For those adventurous spirits, the stunning Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, breathtaking waterfalls along the Hamakua coast, and exhilarating rainforest ziplines are all within a quick 20-30 minute drive. Additionally, the celebrated Arnotts’ Tours, featuring trips to volcanoes, Mauna Kea star gazing, and other highlights, is conveniently located less than a five-minute stroll from your doorstep.

Your unforgettable escape awaits in this beautiful AC vacation beach property, close to everything that Hilo has to offer!

Summary: The house was wonderful. Everything was very clean and comfortable, and all the units were very well equipped. The air conditioners cooled things off quickly in the evening. The grounds were beautiful, and you have your own natural white noise machine with the chorus of frogs at night. The setup was perfect for our party of 9, although the bedrooms in the downstairs unit are small and feel a little claustrophobic/dorm like. The outdoor shower was a big hit for rinsing off after a hot day.
