Cliffside Home w/Gorgeous Ocean Views and Tropical Garden. Paradise Bluff

Paradise Bluff is a beautiful home perched on the cliffs of the small seaside town of Laupahoehoe. Relax, take a deep breath, and enjoy the Aloha spirit and traditions of the Big Island of Hawaii. Located on the spectacular Hamakua Coast between Hilo and Waimea, Paradise Bluff spans 288 ft. of coastline and overlooks historical Laupahoehoe Point. The sweeping 180-degree views of the Pacific Ocean, tropical gardens, and private decks all combine to make a uniquely-breathtaking retreat. You may use this awesome home as a convenient jumping-off point to many of the famous Big Island sites, or you may simply choose to escape from it all, relax on the lanais, and enjoy the exotic birds, crashing blue surf, swaying palm trees, and rainbow-colored geckos. Paradise Bluff is a destination in itself.

Paradise Bluff features a luxurious top floor Master suite, complete with a king sized bed, wall-mounted flat screen TV, large walk-in shower (with two shower heads), elegant ”spa-like” bathroom, coffee station and fridge, private deck, and an oversized dressing room. The bedroom's vaulted ceilings and ceiling fan help circulate the ocean breezes. The huge sun deck allows for private sunbathing with spectacular views of Laupahoehoe Point in the distance. A unique spiral staircase connects the top floor with the main floor.

The spacious main floor has a newly-remodeled kitchen with island bar, separate dining room, large living room, utility/laundry room, and two more bedrooms with king sized beds, flat screen TV's and beautiful en-suite bathrooms with showers. The large dining room has a vaulted ceiling and a solid mango table that seats six.

Two more decks (one covered and one sun deck) are located off the living room. The covered wrap-around deck has an elegant teak dining table for six. Step down to the smaller lower deck to find the Weber gas grill and a chaise lounge for sun-bathing. All the decks are newly tiled and overlook the water; it really feels like you’re living in the Presidential Suite on the forward bow of a cruise ship – without the crowds and buffets!

Laupahoehoe is a small town with its roots in the sugar-industry. Today, it has a beautiful beach park, post-office, police station, one restaurant, Train Museum, and a fantastic open-air eight-lane public swimming pool (with lifeguard) that is free to the public. Just a few minutes away is the recently-renovated 100 year old Papaaloa Country Store and Café with its a fabulous bakery, sandwiches, and burgers, along with a wide selection of groceries and fresh produce.

About 20 minutes’ drive north is Honokaa Town, the gateway to famed Waipio Valley. Honokaa has several good shops and restaurants and a wonderful FirstFriday art and shop walk the first Friday of every month. Hilo, 35 minutes to the south and Waimea, 45 minutes to the northwest, both provide a variety of restaurants, shops, nightlife and unique local attractions like zip-lining, botanical gardens, and farmer's markets. One hour west of Paradise Bluff is the famous Hapuna Beach and several world-class beach resorts with great golf courses.

This is a Hawaii County licensed short term rental.

Beautiful home with views for days
My family and I stayed here for a couple weeks in September, and overall we were very impressed with the property. The views were amazing, the home was clean, and the kitchen is well stocked to cook. The communication with the property manager was very helpful via text. There is limited AC, so just be aware that the home will not get cooler until the evenings. If you have two cars to park, turning out of the property can be challenging because the road is fairly narrow where you are backing up. I wouldn't bring a truck to the property unless it was the only vehicle. I would definitely stay again. I miss the views!

Fantastic Rental!
This home is beautiful inside and out. They have provided very comfortable furnishings and beds. We loved watching the sunrise each morning and felt very comfortable during our visit. Lots of outlets, places to put clothes and bags, great kitchen and laundry room. The only thing that wasn’t ideal was there was no AC unit in the third bedroom. But, the wind provided a nice breeze so it wasn’t horrible. We will definitely stay here again.

Amazing views and amazing home
First words out of my brides mouth when she got to the top of the stairs was, "Babe, you done good. Oh my God this is amazing." It was the perfect place to spent our week on the Big Island. We love this side of the island and the ability to be so far north and still be within 20 min of Hilo was fantastic. We loved the views and the home. My now wife wants to go back without the kids to enjoy this property all over just the two of us again. Hopefully not during the rainy season as much and for a longer stay if they do a longer term stay rate. It was breathtaking and I wouldn't have traded it for the world. It would be a home I wish I owned or one like it here on the Big Island.

The view is what you pay for
Generally, we enjoyed the property. The place had everything we needed except for some cleanliness issues. One of the pillow covers had a makeup stain on it (didn’t use it). A sheet in one of the bedrooms also had a brown stain. There was a dead spider and a dead ant on the pillow area of two bedrooms. We weren’t sure if the beddings were fully washed before we checked in. You have most cookingware in the kitchen with beach towels available (thank you!) for use. However, not that many towels were available for our three night stay. They were upfront about not replacing the towels during our stay before check-in. But no one wants to bring extra towels with them from home when paying that much. So we used the washer and dryer once. The main bedroom is extremely spacious with a great view but the house can be can become very hot for some people without a proper A/C system. Our grill night with the wonderful view had to be rescheduled due to a power outage in one of the evenings. The property manager was prompt to respond. We did get a partial refund for the inconvenience. Yet, it didn’t make up some of the time we lost. Upon our arrival, we didn’t receive a respond about wifi info until the next evening. So, we had to check the modems and routers around the house until we found an info booklet that was placed on top of one of the furnitures. It would have been nice if the info was provided as part of the check-in instructions. And there are A LOT of mosquitoes!!!

Amazing property - Whales right off the shore at breakfast each morning.
This property is probably the nicest one I’ve ever stayed at with a VRBO. The location is ideal If you’re looking to not be in all the hustle and bustle of the tourist locations. With a parking right in front of the house you’re able to get to all locations with relative ease. The view from the master bedroom is something you will think of long after you’ve left. For those of you that enjoy gardens and a manicured yard you won’t be disappointed on that front either. You’ll find yourself falling asleep and waking up to waves breaking on the rocks below the house. If your looking for other options / stop get this one!

At the end of the world
What an incredible stay. The view made me feel like I was at the ends of the earth with the surrounding ocean views. And I saw 4 brilliant rainbows in the short time we were here on the ocean, it was just stunning. I took pictures and it was so colorful and beautiful it almost appeared fake. Pink, cotton candy clouds at sunset. Look, most of us can't afford to live in a house with a view like this, but man, it sure was nice to be able to live it for a few days. I would highly recommend this house to anyone who comes to the Big Island.

Aloha! Our family of five enjoyed this paradise every minute of our stay! What a beautiful setting! Nature at its finest. Amazing floral, great sunrises, ocean view with waves crashing and awesome afternoon rainbows. Quite part of the Big Island yet within one half hour to an hour from all spectacular activities and sites! The locals are very friendly and inviting to their community. The members of the lovely small Catholic church were very nice. The house has everything you need. To enhance your stay, the owner has marked everything to make it easy to learn the house and functions. Not often that we vacation at a place where staying at the house rules over other options. Kitchen was well stocked for our meals enjoyed overlooking the bluff and ocean blue! Thanks for providing your house with us! Mahalo

Great stay in a great place - perfect stay in paradise
The property was wonderful both inside and outside. The deck was extremely inviting as it overlooked the ocean with great views of sunrise and rainbows. The tropical gardens were delightful and attracted beautiful birds. This was the cleanest place we have stayed with any home rental and it had a large number of amenities available, including spices and condiments in the kitchen and various items in the utility area (sunscreen, insect repellent, beach gear, laundry supplies, etc.). The management/owner have thought of most of your needs. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are quiet. There literally is no negative to state.

Beautiful house on the ocean
Loved our stay at paradise bluff. The house is well stocked and very spacious for large group. But it is a long distance from volcano National park and Kona so just be aware of that detail before you book. It’s on the Hilo side so you won’t be sunbathing or swimming because it’s on the side of the island where the ocean is very wavy and at time rough. Did go to several beautiful water falls nearby (Akaka and Rainbow falls) were both amazing and Hilo’s farmers market was fun!

Plethora of pleasures in Paradise
It was amazing to wake up to spectacular Hawaiian sunrises and listen to the birds and ocean winds. The sunsets were beautiful too. Highlights of the trip were Rainbow Falls, trails at the Volcano National Park, and deep sea fishing on “Hooked Up” with the incredible thrill of catching a Blue Marlin (EACH, his & hers) and then to top it off we caught a Wahoo for dinner. What an unforgettable experience!

Great house and view!
The property was gorgeous and the house was beautiful and accommodating. The only issues we had were the TV's did not connect to the network properly to stream and the fire alarm went off mistakenly while we were napping. Apparently that is something that happens often as they have a stick available to turn them off and a note about it in the welcome book. I would suggest to make it a more pleasant stay (since you require guests to remove their shoes before entering) that you offer slippers (can be the inexpensive type hotels often make available) for your guests and a coat rack at the front door. Otherwise, it was a very nice stay for us. The local restaurant/bar was awesome (incredible food and drinks), but only open one day during our stay. The small market there was open multiple days but only had some of what you might need to stock up, and no coffee shop for some distance.
