Family Friendly Home, with a Man Cave!

Traveling with the family or taking time for yourself, you'll love coming home to this beautiful home. Three bedrooms each with their own ensuite custom marble bathroom. Just a short walk to the Makuu cliffs to watch the whales go by. The Asian inspired decor is stunning. I have collected art throughout Asia and you are sure to enjoy the many carvings and paintings. The "Man Cave" has a giant flat screen TV, pool table, dart board and more. The home is on one acre and I live in a cottage on property. The landscaped property has many fruit trees for you to "pick" from. I have bikes for your use to explore the area.
The home is located in the Hawaiian Paradise Park subdivision. Centrally located to the airport, 20 minutes, lava flow 30 minutes and Volcano National Park 30 minutes.

Beautiful house for vacation and retreat

The place is located in a quiet and peaceful area. It is only about 20 minutes from Hilo. The place is amazingly beautiful and spacious. It is filled with arts the owner collecting from traveling many places in the world. The house is fully equipped for both short-term and long-term stay. The garden is beautiful with many fruit trees to admire. Highly recommend for travelers/visitors looking for quietness, peace, and nature beauty.

Great spot for a family

Stayed 5 nights over Thanksgiving. The house is super roomy, the property is beautifully landscaped and the kids loved the pool table and darts. The beach is super close and the sunrises were amazing. This place truly is a tropical paradise!

Great hideaway on Hilo side of Island

Spacious, clean, furnished "home" located in quiet area. Host very responsive to inquiries and requests. Fully furnished with sports equipment. Property full of fauna that produces fruit (albeit we were there at low season) One drawback - house is located some time from Hilo (depending on traffic) so plan your excurstions accordingly

Amazing stay in Hilo!

We had such a wonderful time at this home! It was incredibly spacious, giving our whole family plenty of room to relax and enjoy ourselves. The place was spotless, and the attention to detail made it feel comfortable and inviting. The open layout allowed us to gather and spend quality time together, and we loved how close it was to all the beautiful spots in Hilo. It truly felt like a home away from home, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, spacious, and fun stay with family! family!!

House was great, plenty of room. Lots of fun things for the family, bikes, pool table, etc.. Nice to know host was close but didn't need anything. House is not far from the coast which is nice, bit of a drive to store, etc..Very quiet and peaceful, especially in the mornings on the big deck.

Big Island

We've had an excellent time on the island. It was a great location for all the trips we've taken. Howard is a great host with a big Hart. As a bonus the place has a shade for a car and beautiful garden. We've spent all our meal times on the spacious balcony.

Great stay!

We loved our stay at Howard's home. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host checked in and tried to help when there were internet issues on the island. There is a lot of living space and multiple couples or a larger family could comfortably stay at the house. The kitchen had most essentials for cooking. The hawaiian coffee and chocolates were a nice touch.

Highly recommend! This property was beautiful! Everything was as nice or nicer than described. Truly cannot say enough. Excellent location for everything we wanted and needed. The host, Uncle Howard, couldn’t have have made our stay any easier or better if he’d tried. We will definitely stay here again.

Christmas break on the Big Island

This property was perfect!! Close enough to everything while keeping us out of the busy tourist areas. The home was clean and cozy. Howard was away for the holiday. But, left us with contact info and a binder full of his island favorites. We particularly appreciated the instructions left by him that took us to the Puna trail, which led us to a private(ish) beach. There, we got to view the sea turtles soaking up the sun. We loved staying here, and plan on returning again in there future! Mahalo Howard!!

The property is stunning and well kept. Gorgeous artwork and the energy of the place is so calming. It was a perfect spot for our family after watching our son dance at Merrie Monarch. Fun to go on a bike ride and play darts while on property. We will be back when we have time to enjoy the Big Island. Mahalo Uncle Howard for sharing your gorgeous home.

Beautiful, quiet neighborhood.

The property was stunning. The ocean is only a few minute walk which we all enjoyed after dinner. The view and ocean sounds from the lanai was wonderful anytime of the day. The Weber grill made it perfect for grilling dinner every night. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms in each bedroom were large. My wife likes to bird and there were no shortage of birds on the property. There are no negatives to say only positives. We truly enjoyed our stay and would choose to stay here again if we return to the big island. Thank you Howard for the wonderful hospitality.
