Cozy Tropical Retreat Guest House with AC

Our Tropical Retreat Guest House is a luxurious 1 bedroom, 1 full bath resort-style guest house located in one of Hilo’s premier subdivisions. Our guest house is truly a tropical paradise with a very spacious living area. The guest house opens up to a beautiful manicured tropical garden on over an acre of lush tropical gardens with numerous fruit trees, and indigenous plants found only in Hawaii.

The guest house is equipped with an air-conditioned, uncommon for vacation rentals in the area, and full-size shower-tub. The property also features a fully equipped kitchen (including gas stove with electric oven, rice cooker, blender, air fryer, toaster, coffee maker, washer and dryer, cooking utensils, drinkable filtered water system, etc), a queen size pull out sofa bed, house phone, high-speed internet, and a 50” LCD High Definition TV with Hulu live TV, Hulu on demand, ESPN, Disney+, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. The living room TV is also connected to a High Definition Surround Sound System, BlueRay player, and a Nintendo Wii Console. The 32” LCD TV in the bedroom is equipped with Hulu live TV, Hulu on demand, ESPN, Disney+, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. The guest house is also equipped with smart locks, smart smoke/carbon monoxide detector, fire extinguish, baby proof outlet covers (available when needed), and recycling station. Finally, for guest traveling with babies and infants, we offer a clean and extremely well maintained Pack-N-Play and high chair.

The guest house has its own private gated driveway, parking, and it is protected with 24/7 security monitoring for the protection of our guest and our property (there are no cameras inside the guest house or on the private back yard).

When in season, trees are loaded with bananas, Kau orange, lemon, loquat, mountain apple, coconut, tangelo, rambutan, lychee, mac nut, lime, star fruit, tangerine, breadfruit, avocado, grapefruit, and more. Not to mention a large variety of beautiful palms (Royal, Fan, Rica, Foxtail), tropical plants, and flowers. There is a screened garden house with a table and chairs in the middle of the garden for guests to enjoy a relaxing fresh air snack. The guest house is located on a gated property approximately three miles from downtown Hilo. It's more than a beautiful place to stay, it’s a lifestyle. You'll experience charming “Old Hawaii” where life is slow and easy. Our property allows you to relax in style or pursue a variety of adventures right outside. Amenities include a secluded beautiful outdoor garden. The landscaped grounds and naturalistic setting capture the tranquility and beauty of the islands where travelers can relax and experience the true Hawaii where the locals live.

Your host resides just a couple minutes up the road, and can be available in person at anytime when requested. Your host will be happy to answer questions you may have, assist you with any special needs and help you plan your stay. Your host is also happy in sharing tips on where to visit, how to get there, where to lunch and favorite local dining spots.

The property is within walking distance to a very picturesque area of East Hawaii surrounded by streams, waterfalls and off a quiet street perfect for walking or jogging. A private serene opens up to views of the garden below for ultimate relaxation. Our Retreat is a perfect Hawaiian getaway for couples celebrating their special occasion and is centrally located making it an ideal home base while exploring exotic points of interest on the island.

Hilo is famous for its warm aloha spirit, relaxed lifestyle, unique shops, art galleries and restaurants with local regional cuisine. Local attractions include Lyman Museum, East Hawaii Cultural Center, historic Palace Theatre, Pacific Tsunami Museum, Imiloa Astronomy Center, UH Hilo Performing Arts Center and Hawaii Tropical Botanical Gardens. Hilo Farmer's Market is a favorite for fresh, local produce. The Merrie Monarch Festival, Hilo's premier hula competition, and cultural events are held annually in April. East Hawaii's black sand beaches and freshwater pools are some of the best for snorkeling, diving, surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, swimming with turtles and tropical fish, or watching the whales offshore. Take a helicopter volcano tour or a short scenic drive to active Kilauea volcano to view a lava flow, ride horses in Waipio Valley or tour the summit and view the night skies of Mauna Kea.

Our retreat is a Non-Smoking property: Hawaii State Law dictates that all public areas are designated as smoke-free. The safety and comfort of all our guests are of the utmost importance to us. As such we have a non-smoking policy. Smoking is not allowed in any of our buildings or on the property grounds. Please inform your visitors about our non-smoking policy.
