The East Side

Five minutes to Honoliʻi.

Wake to trade winds, walk down to the surf break, and spend your days chasing waterfalls, farmers markets, and the volcano — then come home to a quiet lanai.

Days Here

Waterfall mornings.
Volcano afternoons.

Real Hilo runs on rain, surf, and farmers markets — not resort schedules. Kīlauea is an easy day trip; so are Akaka Falls, the tide pools, and the best poke on the island.

“Very clean, pretty, quite and green. A true hawaiian experience as there is no air conditioning. Terre and Bella are awesome host. We had a great stay. Would stay here again.”

— Robyn · Airbnb · July 2026

“My boyfriend and I surfed nearby and it was great to be able to check the surf and enjoy the sunrise with coffee then come back with our board with just a short walk! The house had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation.”

— Taylor · Airbnb · November 2025

Good to know

Everything worth knowing before you book.

Sleeps 2–4

King bed plus a queen futon — perfect for a couple, with room for a third guest or two kids sharing the futon. Kids under 12 stay free.

Open-air, island style

The bungalow cools the way Hawaiʻi homes always have — louvered windows, a ceiling fan, and Honoliʻi's trade winds.

It rains here

That's why it's this green. Mornings are often clear; the lanai is made for rainy afternoons.

Check-in 3pm · out 10am

Quiet hours after 9pm. No parties or events. Minimum booking age 18.

One parking space

Private, off-street, right at the bungalow.

Licensed & hosted

Fully licensed and tax-compliant Hawaiʻi vacation rental, hosted on-property by your hosts.
