Big Island / Small Price / Beautiful Ocean Views on 2 Acres in Naalehu

Welcome to the "House of Shimmering Water" - A two bedroom, two bathroom vacation rental located in Waiohinu (2 miles fom Na'alehu) on the south-side of Hawaii's Big Island.

With the island's many diverse climates, the south-side offers some of the best weather and scenic beauty.  Many of my guests have said that they feel like they are on top of the world when they arrive to the house.  It's truly the kind of paradise that you come to expect when visiting the Hawaiian Islands.

Waiohinu translated into English is defined as "shimmering water".  The town itself is a residential community located less than 5 minutes from Na'alehu in the Ka'u district of the Big Island which is approximately 1 hour from Kailua-Kona and 45 minutes from Hilo.

Since December 2008 we began offering our home as a vacation destination to travelers and have received wonderful reviews from our guests.  We take pride in offering our guests a beautiful place that feels more like a home and less like a rental.

The home has 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths with an upstairs loft, patio (lanai), and covered parking on two private acres of grassland and tropical plants.  The property's hillside location has breath-taking panoramic views of the ocean and valley below with some of the best weather on the island.

The interior has a natural wood decor with large sliding windows and is beautifully furnished with Asian/Zen-like furniture and artwork. Satellite t.v., a dvd movie and book collection, wireless internet, and a clock/cd radio is provided.

Each bedroom has a full-size (double-occupancy) bed with a skylight in the master bedroom.  The master bathroom has a stone and tile interior with a shower/tub plus an extra large walk-in shower in the second bathroom.  Linens and towels are provided.

The home is equipped with a full kitchen and a washer and dryer. There is also an outdoor BBQ and picnic area. The home supplies fresh county water (not water catchment) and has remote gate access. There are also several tame carribean sheep that can be seen grazing along the grassland.

Local attractions include a nearby golf course, Big Island's only local winery, Punalu'u Black Sand Beach (Turtle Beach), Green Sands Beach (one of only two green sand beaches in the world), Volcano National Park, as well as several restaurants, galleries, and farmer's markets.  The nearest beach is less than 10 minutes away and several hiking trails are walking-distance.

Also located a short distance away is South Point (the southern most point of the U.S.A), several natural hotsprings, Green Lake, and some great beaches for snorkeling and kayaking. Just one hour North of Hilo is Waipio Valley and the Hamakua Coast.

$95 per night, $500 per week, $1500 per month.  Both short-term & long-term rental is available.  *Ask about our "off-season" discount from September 15 to December 15*
