Hilo's Newest Richardson's Beach Park House. Best Loc. Snorkeling, Turtles.

House fronts best beach park in town of Hilo: snorkel, swim, paddle board, kayaks, boogie boards, BBQ. All provided free. Most family friendly! Keiki (child) pond in front of house where Hawaii's children learn to swim.

No expense spared in new construction. Leave french doors open to let the outdoors in. Protected swimming and snorkeling areas with lifeguards line the Hilo bay.

This house is right next door to my Lilikoi beach house. Both homes are located in the town of Hilo, just 5 miles from the airport.

I own 5 vacation rentals in Hilo

This beach house is close to Hilo farmer's market, restaurants, shopping, waterfalls, volcano national park with active volcano, farmer's market, tours, astronomy center, university of Hawaii, Hilo medical center (hospital), and visitor activities.

House is equipped with kayak, boogie boards and beach equipment, Netflix, and high speed cable internet access (WIFI).

Available year round for nightly, weekly, and extended stays.
I manage these homes personally with my cell number available to all guests. Payments are handled through the security of the Homeaway/VRBO site. Guests also receive information on restaurants, shopping and my favorite places to visit.

Why this property?
This new house was constructed to be a world class beach park house. Large windows open to large decks. Breezes blow right through the house. Wall controlled ceiling fans throughout. Ceiling lighting, only the nicest appliances. Leather couches, wood flooring, complete cookware.

Unique benefits:
If you plan on staying more than a couple days, you will have to enjoy the location. If you love the water and especially snorkeling, you will not find a better location. The best snorkeling is in just a few feet of water right in front of the black sand beach. It is like swimming in a tropical fish store. Green sea turtles come to rest for the night in the evening at the rocks just beyond the black sand beach. The water is largely sheltered by the rocks creating a partial lagoon. Yet this house is just down the street from downtown Hilo. Great for quick trips out to eat, shopping and many tourist locations. Review the "location" tab for a list of over 20 great places to see.

According to Hawaii Vacation Rental ordinances, all vacation renters agree to the following if this property is booked:
1. Quiet hours shall be from 9:00 PM to 8:00 AM during which time the noise from the short term vacation rental shall not unreasonable disturb adjacent neighbors.
2. Sound that is audible beyond the property boundaries during non-quiet hours shall not be more excessive than would be otherwise associated with a residential area.
3. Guest vehicles shall be parked within the designated onsite parking area.
4. Failure to comply with the Good Neighbor policy states above will be construed to be a violation.
5. No commercial events shall take place at the property.

Great family vacation
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time at the house and exploring all of the beach parks across the street! There was some neighborhood noise when we arrived, but we chalked it up to the weekend before Thanksgiving and everyone respected the noise bylaws at night. We’d love to come back again some time!

Great family ocean experience!
We had nine adults and six children under four and stayed for ten days. We literally sat on the deck and ate breakfast and we would spot sea turtles across the street. Great snorkeling and black sand beach right there. We will return again soon.

We had an AMAZING time here!! The location was Wonderful! Right across the street from the ocean where you could hear the waves all day & night!!! The house was Beautiful & very spacious & the owner was easy to get ahold of for anything anytime. We would Definitely stay here again ! The black sand beach was Awesome with so many fish & even a sea turtle. We even saw a sea turtle swimming by us in the tide pools across the street. Great trip with unforgettable experience and it did NOT rain as much as I was afraid it would on the Gilo side of the island. Thank you Richard for everything! and beach was Definitely

Wonderful property in an amazing location
The location of the house is amazing and it comes equipped with everything you could want to enjoy the ocean. There's plenty of space for a larger group and we loved having morning coffee on the front porch then wandering over to the ocean to swim with the sea turtles who were present every morning. The house doesn't have AC but has plenty of fans which worked fine for our group. We loved the house and will absolutely come back if we're ever lucky enough to make our way back to the big island.

Nice beach location
My kids and I loved the proximity to Richardson’s Beach Park. The snorkeling was good and we got up close views of several sea turtles. I had somehow missed that there was no air conditioning (my fault) but there are several fans provided and after an evening shower we were fine. (The smaller bedroom upstairs was the warmest). The street is popular but even over part of a weekend it had settled down by 9-10 pm. The frogs however continue on longer so if you are a light sleeper you might consider ear plugs or some kind of white noise machine. We enjoyed the proximity to Hilo for restaurants, grocery stores and the local farmers market for supplies.

Great spot for extended family
Beautiful view of ocean from balconies! The amenities provided at the Hibiscus House were so appreciated. Lots of kitchen supplies, spices, bathroom amenities. Richard was a wonderful host and very responsive. The kitchen, dining and master are upstairs, and the outside plants are very fun to explore. We used a boogie board but didn’t take advantage of the SUP and kayaks in the shed.

Great spot
We had 3 days in Hilo and the other 3 days were at Kona. We really loved our time at this property. The beach was a perfect playground for all of the members in our family. Close to town to try some local food and loved that it wasn’t filled with tourists. We were reminiscing about the spot all through our time on the Kona side.

We loved having the ocean across the street and waking up to a tropical sunrise every morning. We appreciated the extra amenities at the property like the paddle board, flotation devices and coolers. The rental had plenty of room for our family of eight. We were able to cook most of our meals here too. The only problem we had was with the sound on the TV but who needs TV when you are in Hawaii? We appreciated how close our location was to many of the "do-not-to-miss" sites on this side of island. We would definitely come again.

Had a really good time. View of ocean and snorkling areas were so convenient. Not far from town. Be prepared for humidity. Noise restrictions a little daunting. Although motorcycles going back and forth after 9 was annoying. Overall we had a great stay.

Hilo graduation trip
The house is amazing. We never felt like we were on top of one another as it is extremely spacious and well laid out. Kudos for having boggy boards, a tandem, kayak etc., it made for great family fun and wonderful pictures. I recommend replacing the bikes as they are rusty, and the tires were flat. I would also suggest the house be supplied with more paper towel and toilet paper to accommodate guest. We enjoyed the board games that were provided which created much laughter for our game night. I highly recommend this house. I would not hesitate to rent this house again, and highly recommend it.

Family Gathering
Overall the space was as advertised. Able to accomdate our group and provided everything we needed to do all of the activities we wanted to do. We will absolutely try to rent this property, or any peoperty managed by this owner, in the future. The only drawback was the late check in time and that the cleaners were still cleaning when we arrived for check-in. However once we saw the size of the place we could certainly understand that it took some time to clean. A great stay in a beautiful home.

Great in every way
The grandkids loved it so much they want to pool their allowances and buy the property! We had one glitch though Richard. There was a sign on Kalanianole St on Tuesday wvening that the water would be turned off overnight starting at 8. We called the city and they confirmed it. We got home at 7 and were in a panic. We saved all the water we could, washed dishes by hand, but were not able to do all the laundry we intended for you. Sorry about that. But blame the city! Thank you!

Family Vacation
We had 3 generations of family on vacation for Christmas and New Years. The beach house had ample space for everyone. The views from the decks are amazing. The beaches are very popular during the day but had no issues. The toys in the shed are a nice amenity. We brought our own snorkel masks but the flippers, bikes and SUP board were fun. My grandsons loved looking for geckos. The sea turtles love the rocky beaches and shallow pools across from the house. Thank you for sharing this home and the island spirit with us. Mahalo!

A beautiful location with a problem
This isn't the owners fault and I really wanted to love this house because of it's beautiful location, very nice host and the amenities that came with with it, but two things spoiled the experience. As other reviewers have noted, the house is adjacent to a fairly busy road. The beautiful lagoon and park are just across that road from the house. We were unprepared for just how popular this road and park were with the local hot rod and motorcycle enthusiasts. From roughy 10am-10pm every day cars and motorcycles would run up and down this road (multiple passes from the same vehicles) screeching tires, doing burnouts and revving engines. With no AC in the house, windows and patio doors were always open. The sound from the road was so loud in the house that at many times you could not carry on a conversation or watch TV. Secondly, the area (and much of Hilo) is infested with Coqui Frogs. These frogs begin their song as soon as the sun goes down and the noise averages about 88-90 decibels. Again, no AC, so windows must be open, this made it very difficult for the little kids to fall asleep. As I've said, neither of the noise issues is the fault of the owner and I can appreciate the problems it creates for them. The house itself is old and needs a very thorough cleaning and refresh of moisture damaged furniture and fixtures, however, the wonderful and free selection of water toys in the outdoor shed was a hug benefit to us. We used them often. Great place. Too noisy
