Kahikole: Oceanfront home with stunning, rugged ocean cliff views

This Oceanfront home on a half acre of land in Hawaiian Paradise Park gives you the privacy and serenity you're looking for. Set just back from the cliffs it is in full view of the glorious sunrise and dramatic sapphire blue ocean year round! The landscaping, front gate and rock walls offer this home a nice degree of privacy.

The two story house has separation between the living areas and bedroom suites. Downstairs are two master suites, each with an en-suite bathroom. Both bedroom windows look out onto the ocean. Wake up and marvel at the views right from bed! The south suite bathroom has a full bathtub and shower and the north suite bedroom has a TV and the bathroom has a slate-tiled walk-in shower and two vanity sinks. There is also a laundry closet with washer and dryer close to the bedrooms for your convenience. Upstairs you will find an even more impressive view of the ocean from the covered lanai and from inside. Here is a living room, dining area and open kitchen. Also upstairs is a study, SMART TV and another bathroom with shower. The gourmet kitchen is finished with Quartz counters, stainless appliances, dishwasher and a Viking gas range, fun for cooks!.

The property is fully landscaped with beautiful bougainvillea, plumbago and colorful hibiscus flowering plants! The home is extremely well maintained. Water is provided via rain water catchment and is filtered for indoor use. 

Hawaiian Paradise Park is conveniently located about 10 miles south of Hilo and the Hilo International airport. From here you can visit Volcanoes National Park (45 min drive), Pohoiki black sand beach (50 minute drive), Hilo (15 min drive) and the gorgeous Hamakua Coast with waterfalls, botanical gardens and lush Hawaiian forests (30-90 min drives).

This is a Hawaii County licensed short term rental.

Little bit of Paradise

This was an amazing location for our girl's trip. We felt safe and secure in the location. Great location, about 20 min from town and secluded enough for some R&R. The view from the lanai is breathtaking day or night.

Beyond Expectations

The pictures do not do justice for how wonderful the house and the views are. You are right on top of the ocean and can watch sea turtles from the balcony. We can’t recommend the Maku’u Farmers market enough and really enjoyed Kaleo’s down the street. Overall wonderful stay!

Great house!

We enjoyed our stay here. The ocean view is great, and we loved listening to roar of the surf all day/night long. House amenities were more than expected; kitchen was nicely appointed; beds were comfortable. The location is quiet, laid back and good, if the east side of the island or the volcano area is your goal. However, if you plan to spend much time in the Kona area, expect a drive of about 1 1/2 hr to get there.

Wonderful porch!

We had an amazing week at the house. It was comfortable and well appointed—appreciated the extras, like condiments, coffee and detergent. We lived on the deck, from sunrise to dinner to star gazing. Such a great asset. Perfect location for us—near enough to Volcano NP and the beach parks and waterfalls. Would definitely recommend. Hope to return sometime.

Private location and unique property

This home is a great spot for watching the sunrise in the morning or the whales in the afternoon. One of the best equipped rental kitchens I've ever seen. Very unique home with circular layout and wonderful ocean views from almost every spot. The private ocean-front location is "first in class"-amazing! Very convenient to visit Volcanoes National Park or to drive up to Hilo (check out the Farmer's Mkt. and Ken's House of Pancakes) and the coastal areas to the north. Only negative we experienced was the electricity being out one of our three evening there (out of their control, but a real bummer nonetheless). It is a bit of a drive to grab groceries, so you may want to plan ahead so you can maximize your time enjoying the stunning views from this property once you arrive!

All of us stayed in this house with breathtaking views for 5 nights. It was just perfect! The place is super clean and well equipped and a short drive away from the volcanoes national park. We hope to come back here to celebrate our anniversary!

Super cool house on the cliffs

We stayed 3 nights in May. Pros: The house was lovely, very cool to have the living space and the bedrooms on separate floors, the porches were great for coffee and happy hours. Well appointed kitchen. the guide books in the house were super! Awesome views from the house and the cliffs below. Cons: Trade off for the privacy is that the neighborhood the house is in is a 30 min from Hilo and most restaurants, sights, etc. So it took a while to get anywhere, definitely not walkable! And beware of the Coqui frogs! SO loud all night long making it hard to sleep. Bring ear plugs.

Encore performance

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay in 2024 was an encore performance of our 2023 stay.The house has a preferred location in this coast of upscale options.After staying there for a longer time, one realizes the advantages of being on this small stretch of shoreline because it is oriented in such a way to get a lot less salt spray from the ocean. That helps to keep the windows clean of salt and allow you to view the most amazing view of the ocean anywhere. This being the whale season, this year sightings didn't disappoint. There were also dolphins and turtles, so it was the wildlife trifecta. Driving into Hilo is an easy drive if you need more restaurant options. It is quiet and peaceful here, with an ever changing sky over the ocean. There is never a bad day here. The staff at Salt Water are top notch to work with. Don't hesitate to stay here.

Kahikole is the perfect place to stay if you want peace and quiet. The view from the lanai, the living space, and the bedrooms is awesome. The drive to Hilo, Kalapana, Volcano isn’t short, but well worth it.

Unique Property - Zen Experience

Our stay at Kahikole was even better than we could have imagined. The photos don’t even do the property justice. The home is so unique, with a single entryway and vestibule that is open air and yet protected from the rain. This provided nice breezes throughout our stay. The home was very clean and well-appointed with very comfortable beds. We slept with the windows open and were lulled to sleep by the soft sounds of waves and the meditative sounds of the coqui frogs (may not be for everyone). We spent most of our days just sitting on the deck enjoying the birds and watching the occasional dolphin pod go by. The views are unobstructed and amazing, allowing for wonderful sunrises and sunsets. The water twinkled like diamonds. The grounds are well landscaped and maintained and there are lots of other places to relax and read a book. We also enjoyed making friends with the resident gecko family roaming around the house (may not be for everyone, but they are truly harmless and very cute). The internet connection was fast so we could get work done quickly. The added bonus was the fact that Salt Water Vacations accommodated our last-minute request for a late check out, which allowed us to enjoy this wonderful property up until we had to leave for the airport. 100% would recommend booking your stay here. I know we will be back.

4 days in paradise

We all absolutely loved it. The view out the back to the ocean was totally awesome. Every day we sat on the second floor back porch for the sunrise and to watch the waves crash against shore and in the evenings just to listen to it. The house itself was very very nice with great views everywhere. Everything we needed was there. We highly recommend this property. Would love to come back some day.

Everything about this home was incredible. Clean, well stocked, gorgeous views, comfortable beds/linens. The only down side is that it is about 5 miles off the main road but that's what also makes it so special. Would stay here again without question.

Paradise for days!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second stay in this home and it won’t be the last. The views, the house, the volcanic cliffs, the gorgeous yard, and the location. It’s in the perfect spot to nest and explore the entire island conveniently. Sitting on the cliffs in the mornings with coffee and evenings with cocktails watching the waves and the changing light from sunrise and sunset is magical. Make sure you grab supplies in Hilo before you go to house. The neighborhood is wonderful and always people walking or biking. Love the separation of bedrooms downstairs and the leisure areas upstairs. The house is so beautiful and relaxing and inviting we never even turned on the television or music. The waves and the coqui frogs were exactly the relaxing sounds we wanted!
