Property Details

Our guests often comment that our home exceeded their expectations. It's probably because of all the local materials and the attention to detail. Jack is a 3rd generation hard-wood floor contractor and it shows. In addition to the crafstmanship evident all over the house and property, there is purified (by reverse osmosis) drinking water, your own water well with whole house ultra violet filtration system (no worries about running out of water or other problems association with "catchment systems" that are common in our area), solar-heated hot water, a well equipped kitchen, nice linens on the beds and in the baths, a book-exchange, some excellent Hawaiiana books, and plenty of etc.

MASTER BEDROOM (UPSTAIRS)
A comfortable king sized bed with nice cotton sheets, vintage rattan reading chair and ottoman, mango dresser, ceiling fan, 2 reading lamps, and an alarm clock. The direct ocean view from the bedroom also allows for great breezes. The wide balcony is directly in front of both upstairs bedrooms.

2ND BEDROOM (UPSTAIRS)
A comfortable queen sized bed with crispy cotton sheets, nice writing desk and chair, 2 reading lamps, ceiling fan, and a dresser make this a fully functional room with that same huge ocean view.

UPSTAIRS BATHROOM
The bathroom is accessed by both bedrooms. It has a tub/shower and sink/vanity in one room, and a separate room for the toilet.

DOWNSTAIRS BEDROOM
A comfortable and charming queen sized iron bed, with nice cotton sheets, a free-standing armoire, ceiling fan, and 2 lights. This room is set back from the front of the house but still has an incredible ocean view. It also has an intriguing stained glass window depicting the local volcano.

DOWNSTAIRS BATHROOM
Tub/shower, vanity and sink, toilet, and incredible, large stained glass window.

LIVING ROOM AND KITCHEN
The living room is decorated with a vintage Hawaiian look, yet with DISH TV, and the classic comfortable rattan furniture and original artwork. There's a full sized dining table with 6 chairs, as well as 4 bar chairs. We will tell you that the front door is one big stained glass ocean scene. You can get lost in it--seriously. However, you will need to see it for yourselff.

HEALTH ISSUES
The triple filtered drinking water is a big bonus. Many, if not most, houses in our area use "catchment" systems, catching water off their roof. There are many kinds of filter systems. Ours is an excellent reverse osmosis system that actually purifies your drinking water. FYI, wherever you decide to stay in East Hawaii you should ask about their water system.

HUMPBACK WHALES -- WOW, THEY CAN BE CLOSE.
In front of our home, the ocean gets deep quickly. Because of this, their birthing and mating months of December - April are excellent times for hearing humpback whales at night, and of course seeing them by day. Their tail slapping can wake you up--no kidding.

IN CONCLUSION
Our home is fully functional, clean, comfortable, AND in a great location. In short, it is "homey". You will be only 25 minutes from Hilo Airport, Downtown, Bayfront or Richardson's Beach and 20 minutes from Pahoa, a Great/Funky Restaurant town. You will be 30 minutes from the warm ponds at Ahalanui and the Marine Sanctuary where you can snorkel with tame good-sized schools of fish! You're also 45 minutes to Volcanoes National Park (location of the historical Kilauea Caldera, and home of Pele the fire goddess) and 45 minutes away, in the other direction, from the Ocean Entry for Flowing Lava. This is subject to change of course, but has been amazingly steady of late.

If you're looking for a comfortable spacious truly OCEANFRONT home, retreat, and a base of operations, this is it. This is the house that Jack built, in 1998. First camping out in the would-be garage, then creating an artistic retreat/bachelor pad, and ultimately a great family home. We happily lived there for many years.

The ocean is mesmerizing by day, lulling to deep sleep at night. The oceanside deck with spa and swimming pool will become your outdoor living room. The neighborhood is nice and friendly and you can walk or ride bikes for miles along the coast in either direction. Or you can hang out. You just might not want to leave.
