vacation rental description

SEA WATCH is a spotlessly clean, private and serene, two bedroom, two bathroom OCEANFRONT JEWEL located in the glorious sunbelt along the eastern coastline of the Big Island.

SEA WATCH is nestled just 90 feet from the ocean yet protected by the 20-foot lava cliff at the ocean’s edge with nothing between you and the ocean providing an unobstructed view of sea life, including majestic Humpback whales..

SEA WATCH is the ideal place to vacation, to simply relax, or to use as a base for exploring the Big Island from Volcanoes National Park and the Green Sand Beach to the south, to Akaka Falls, Botanical Gardens and Waipio Valley to the north. Sea Watch is also the perfect place to have a small, personal wedding, commitment ceremony or marriage renewal.

Whatever your reason for choosing SEA WATCH, crashing waves and picturesque sea spray will provide your back drop. Located in a small, cozy, sunny residential area, SEA Watch offers the perfect “peace” of paradise. GUESTS RETURN AGAIN AND AGAIN AND THAT SAYS IT ALL!

This beautiful, 1465 sq ft, award-winning house has a stunning ocean view from every room as, of course, from the large lanai that runs the length of the house. Sit back and relax as you watch whales give birth and train their young in winter; enjoy the antics of dolphins and sea turtles year round! Or if you prefer, stand or sit out on the rocks and watch up close and personal as the mystery of the sea unfolds. And then there are the nights -- listen to the whales blow, breathe and vocalize, watch the “love boats” go by and give yourself up to that incredible MOON!

FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY,
WE ARE OFFERING SPECIAL RATES TO HELP US ALL DEAL WITH THIS FRUSTRATING ECONOMY!

Don’t miss this opportunity to see the lava flow and watch new land being made JUST A 20 MINUTE DRIVE FROM SEA WATCH.

traveler reviews for this hilo house rental

Dreaming of my return to this amazing place

alohatad (Palm Springs, California)
Review submitted: January 23, 2012   Date of arrival: November 4, 2011

For starters, this is the most wonderful rental property I've ever seen and I can't wait to return to Sam's Sea Watch!

As others commented, photos don't do it justice. I was drawn to the place by the photos listed, the clean sight lines of the blue Pacific against the beauty of lava rock bluffs and the sparkling white interior. But now that I've seen it with my own eyes, taking dozens of photos myself, there is no substitute for being there in person. A picture is worth a thousand words yet those who travel know that photos never fully capture the essence of a place.

Sam is a very conscientious innkeeper and a friendly host full of tips to assist you in enjoying the island. Someone else made an analogy to the concierge you would find in a fine hotel. The home has brochures and many pages of typed information, books, maps - and Sam is just a phone call away to help answer any question. And phone calls are free from Sea Watch to anyone in the USA or Canada. Free internet access is also provided.

This sizable light and airy home really is as clean as you could hope it to be. She has a team of people devoted to prepping the home for the next guests and they are very thorough as it truly is spotless.

It was so peaceful to relax in a quiet residential area by the sea. Lush foliage and large lots make it feel quite private and secluded. Remote enough to feel secluded yet a short drive to stores and restaurants when the need arises. Sam provides very detailed and accurate directions to Sea Watch.

We enjoyed cooking large family meals, including one prepared on the grill. There are copious amounts of spices, condiments etc. provided. And it seems many guests leave dried goods, etc. they couldn't consume. I know we paid it forward by leaving things behind. All of the appliances and gadgets you need are here for you. And cupboards full of every size of cookware, dishes, glasses, mugs - you name it. Loved the bay windows surrounding the dinner table. All ocean all the time!

Nice to have a washer & dryer. Sam provides laundry detergent. Water pressure and temps were always great in the shower by the way, and that isn't always true in hotels, let alone rental homes. Dozens of towels to choose from. Sorry if I sound like a broken record but you really do have everything you need at this place.

Sighing as I realize it's impossible to express how much I loved my time by the sea at this tasteful, relaxing, special home - heaven on Earth. Mahalo, Sam!

Outstanding views and location

Patty (San Diego)
Review submitted: October 25, 2011   Date of arrival: October 19, 2011

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the house, location and owner. Samantha went out of her way to help us when we had a minor medical emergency. The location was perfect. It was great to wake up and eat breakfast on the porch where we could watch and listen to the surf. Unlike other rentals we've used in the past, Seawatch did not have any mildew smell.

Stop looking, this is the place.

Big Sissiy Gail (Austin, TX)
Review submitted: September 13, 2011   Date of arrival: September 6, 2011

If I could imagine the most perfect vacation home, I could not come close to imagining this wonderful house. We were so happy there, I did not want leave, ever.

Thank you Sam for being the best hostess ever. I hope we can come back.
