Pepeekeo House | Hilltop Views! Backyard Pool, 3 Bedrooms/3 Baths. Gentle Breezes. Very Private.

3 Bedroom House in Pepeekeo

House Description
Come stay in at our park-like property on a breezy hilltop with a wide view of the ocean less than a mile distant. The pool and adjoining covered cabana is secluded and private in the backyard. The neighborhood is a pleasant but ordinary residential area on the east side of the island.
A typical older home in this former sugar plantation area, the house reflects our local Japanese legacy with shoji screens throughout the house. They allow for air flow when wanted or privacy when desired. From the carport, the ground level entry leads into a carpeted and comfortable living room. There's plenty of room here for lounging, reading or enjoying entertainment on the smart tv. Central to the home is the fully equipped kitchen. Among our guests, some professional chefs have commented how well set up the kitchen is. You can easily step from kitchen to dining room (seats 6), or to the screened lanai where another table and chairs allows for lanai dining. The lanai also has a comfortable sofa and chairs. Two bedrooms are on main floor each with an ensuite bathroom. Off from the kitchen is a small Tv room, a game room, or for reading or just snoozing. On the lower level is a bedroom with two twin beds and a petite full bathroom, and a TV.
A roomy laundry is also on the lower level.
Right out the sliding glass door from the living room is the fully fenced swimming pool and cabana shelter with table, chairs and a charcoal grill. The back yard is very private as is the rest of the property. The house sits on a small hilltop with lovely views of the ocean about a mile distant. The driveway is gated and the property is fully fenced.
ALL Guests MUST BE INCLUDED when making your reservation. (accurate number of guests)
THE HOUSE IS SOLELY FOR REGISTERED GUESTS.
NO outside visitors are allowed other than the REGISTERED GUESTS listed in your booking. If you have friends in the islands reach out to us to discuss ANY invitations of outsider guests to the house. This restriction is for liability issues, compliance with our permit to operate as a short term rental, and good neighborly relations.
AC is uncommon in this part of Hawaii because the temperatures vary from about 64 to 86 degrees year round. It's lovely, naturally! Therefore, there is no AC in this house.
Pepeekeo is north of downtown Hilo by about 7 miles. The house sits on a 3 acre parcel next to the more heavily settled area of the village. There are two convenience stores nearby and a post office. Shopping is generally done in Hilo. Nearby there is another convenience store that also serves coffee, beverages and a variety of freshly made sandwiches and wraps.
Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden is also near by, about a mile from the house across the highway, and runs about 5 miles long.
This botanical garden can be explored as a drive or a hike and has a lovely large park overlooking the ocean.
Akaka Falls (440 feet high) state park is in nearby Honomu, about 8 miles from the house. Volcano National Park is just under an hour to the south and the stunningly beautiful Waipio Valley is just under an hour to the north. Our "Pepeekeo House" is a good place for friends and family to base while touring the east side of our lovely Hawaii Island (The Big Island). Our place is comfortable and clean but modest in style. The Hamakau coast is our treasured gem, gorgeous and tropical!

Review Score:   8
Summary: We had a wonderful reunion of old friendships from two continents. The property was lush and the pool refreshing. Basement bedroom needs attention. Basement bathroom moldy. Screen door to garden and others needs replacement.
