Oceanfront-Pool-Jacuzzi-Wow! Recession Sale!

Description from the owner

A GREAT oceanfront home overlooking the Pacific on top of a bluff. The house is nicely appointed and decorated. The kitchen is large and has seating for family meals. There is also a library, family room, dining room, and study room.

There is lots of outdoor space including a big backyard. The 15 foot by 30 foot pool has a slide and diving board plus an eight person Jacuzzi. The glorious outdoor tub and shower is hooked up to 120 gallons of solar hot water. This means 30 minute "waterfall" showers are a daily reality. Awesome home theater system, high-speed internet access, and lots of kid things. This is a real family home and we welc...ome other families that are looking for a great Hawaiian experience.

The Neighborhood

Honoli'i is a small area just outside of Hilo, the county seat for the Big Island of Hawaii. It is the most "Hawaiian" of all of the larger towns in the State. East Hawaii is mainly an agricultural area with a lot of farming. Sugar has been replaced by exotic fruits, flowers, macadamia nuts, and coffee. If you are looking for a "local" Hawaiian experience, this is the place!

There is a famous surfing spot with a black sand beach just three minutes from the house and Hilo has lots of local parks and spots for recreation. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and Kilauea Volcano are 40 minutes away and as of this writing the 20 year old eruptive phase shows no sign of ending. Mauna Kea, at 13,500 feet, is the world's foremost center for astronomy with more than ten of the world's largest telescopes.

Rain measures around 120 inches per year in Hilo so it is verdantly green and there are waterfalls everywhere. Lisha and I have lived all over the world yet have been here 13 years, much longer than anywhere else. It really is a fabulous place. We travel for adventure, relaxation, and to share the world's treasures with our children. We most often exchange our home with others but occasionally make it available for rent when it is not possible to do an exchange.Read more

  Wonderful homebase over the holiday

  Left on 12/15/2012 for a stay in November 2012
  
  

  Shared the house with extended family over Thanksgiving. We were thrilled with all of the space and privacy the house provided for the different age groups. We enjoyed using the pool and spa almost daily. The patio was frequently occupied and provided a postcard perfect view.
  This felt like "coming home" rather than just checking into a hotel (which we appreciated)
  The flight path into Hilo was nearby, but the planes did not really bother us. It was also fun watching cruise ships come & go.
  The kitchen provided almost everything we needed...what we didn't have, we improvised.
  My only disappointment was an unclean drawer under the oven that appeared to have mouse droppings in it. The BBQ had also been left by the previous guest too dirty for us to attempt to clean (and we didn't find the BBQ cleaning tools). These disappointments were minor to us...and would not prevent a further stay.
  We felt that the house provided a great value for the dollar and would return here again in a heartbeat. We found the location lovely.
