Oceanfront Peace of Paradise

My house is a couple of short miles from Hilo town and offers, quite simply, the best ocean front view possible. You will look down upon crashing waves and out across the Bay to Hilo and to the surfers gliding down the silver waves. The view is dramatic but relaxing. During whale season, this is the best possible location for viewing. Sometimes they come so close you can look into their eyes. The house is fully equipped and air-conditioned. . This will be your Pacific vacation to remember.

Superhost
A wide patio stretches along the oceanfront, lined with glass railings that offer unobstructed views of the water. Palm trees can be seen in the distance against a clear blue sky, while the surf gently meets the rocky shoreline.
