About this property

☀️🐋 Direct Ocean front ~The Views! Pool, AC all rooms- May discounts through 8th!


Aloha & Welcome to Mermaid's Oasis! This 4 bedroom home with new split AC in bedrooms and living area! It is directly oceanfront in spectacular Hawaiian Paradise Park. It truly is paradise here! Before you even step foot in the door you are greeted by a Hawaiian Sea turtle fountain and pond, with tropical flowers and fish. Enjoy listening to the waves crashing on the lava rock cliffs and revel in the awe-inspiring Ocean views that can be seen throughout the home's living room, dining room, and covered lanai areas. The soothing sounds will lull you to sleep at night. Enjoy the private pool which is also Oceanfront, or just sunbathe on the pool deck. Watch humpback whales breach and tail slap and dolphins play in the winter months directly in front of the house, and sea turtles right at the water's edge throughout the year. Try fishing right off the lava cliffs at the water's edge!

I also have a two bedroom Ocean front with pool just .5 miles down the road if your party is bigger than 10 please inquire about the other property as well. It’s VRBO # 4456502. Book both for a discount!

Mermaid's Oasis is just that, an oasis for you to relax and enjoy every second of your time while staying here. The house sleeps 10 comfortably so bring the whole family or a big group of friends. You don't have to fight over the master bedroom because we have two, both with king-sized beds and bathrooms attached. The third bedroom has two Queen beds and the 4th unique bonus room has a full sized bed as well. We have furnished the home with comfort and luxury in mind. Enjoy the 70" TV in the living room; you don't have to miss your favorite programs or the big game. The three main bedrooms also have large flat-screen TV's and if you are out exploring the island set the DVR to record your "can't miss" shows! The 180-degree view of the Ocean might distract your TV viewing though. The dramatic, hand-painted, floor to ceiling artwork in the living room brings the beauty, and magic of the ocean indoors.

Each room has beach-inspired furnishings and attention to detail making your stay relaxing and memorable. You won't want to leave this Mermaid's Oasis! There are an oversized washer and dryer for your use during your stay. In the bathroom, you will find bath & beach towels and toiletries you may use during your stay including shampoo and conditioner, lotion, sunscreen, Q-tips, cotton balls, after sun aloe, and other necessities. Bedrooms Have new AC units to keep you cool and comfortable at night. There is a pack and play for little ones!

The kitchen has everything you could need for cooking and dining indoors or outdoors. There is a new Weber BBQ just off the kitchen. Dine inside on the large hardwood table with Ocean views, or dine alfresco at one of two outdoor seating areas under the covered lanai. You can't beat the views and Ocean breezes. Just off the kitchen is a bar area for entertaining. Take advantage of the outdoor seating area to read, have cocktails, or socialize.

The house is in a "banana belt" and gets far less precipitation than areas even just up the road or in the Hilo area. Evening showers help to keep the tropical plants and trees lush and green.

Mermaid's Oasis is just 25 minutes from the Hilo Airport and 30 minutes from downtown Hilo. There are some great restaurants in Hilo. We love Pineapples and Café Pesto. Both have outstanding food and great atmosphere. Le Magic Pan is an authentic French Crepe restaurant. The crepes are a full meal and there is daily live music. There are many fine ethnic food choices to suit every taste. There is a shopping mall, and in charming downtown Hilo there are farmer's markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Day snorkel, dive, and whale watching trips leave from Hilo too, or take a boat to see the lava flows up close. Just outside of Hilo are numerous gorgeous waterfalls. Under one of the bridges Hammerhead sharks hang out!

Pahoa is a small quaint town just 10-15 minutes from the house. It has cute shops, some local taverns and art, as well as a few "can't miss" restaurants. Pele's kitchen is great for breakfast, and Kaleo's and Paolo's Bistro have 4 star dining. There is also pizza, Mexican, Thai, and sushi choices. Grocery stores, drug stores and many other shops can be found in Pahoa also. The Makuu Farmer's market on Sunday's has hundreds of local vendors offering fresh produce, local art, souvenirs, and food trucks. This is a must! It is located on Highway 130 between the house and Pahoa.

Of course, one of the biggest attractions on the Island is the Kilauea volcano and you are just 30 minutes from that. Don't miss it! Don't forget awesome zip-lining and horseback riding if you have the time. There is a small zoo and macadamia nut farm midway between Hilo and the house too.

Mahalo & Aloha, We hope to see you soon, and you enjoy your relaxing stay so much you will return for years to come. My parents are on-site in a separate small studio to help you during your stay, and the house is separate and neither unit disturbs the other with noise. They are there if you need anything and can be undetected if you want privacy. Our guests appreciate knowing if they need something someone is close by.

Aloha, Robyn

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was so spacious. There was room to really spread out and enjoy. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean and tidy. The kitchen was well supplied with anything needed to prepare a meal. The ocean views were outstanding. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. If we come back to the big island, we will definitely stay here again.

The property was absolutely amazing. We saw whales multiple times just looking out the front windows around 10:30 a.m. The people who take care of the property were wonderful and very helpful. They thought of everything when it comes to this property. We will definitely be coming back. Thankyou to the family that owns the property and maintains it. This trip was truly a blessing.

Big Island Paradise
The property itself is a design with love, even if it is not your style you will appreciate the thoughtful interior and exterior design from the bathroom cabinet knobs to the outside fish pond. It is located in a very peaceful and beautiful place. We stayed there for a week and had everything we possible could think of from cooking to beach accessories. The manager, was very responsive and accommodating. We had family of 6 adults and it was specious for all of us. We stayed there in February and even though they say it rains there a lot. The only rain we had experienced was over night. We used pool everyday and did a lot of activities and sight seeing. In the afternoon, we watched dolphins and whales from the multiple patio areas. I would highly recommend to stay there!! Thank to our host we had a wonderful experience!!

WONDERFUL OCEAN VIEW!!
Loved the view from the living room, dining room, and lanai - 180 degrees of ocean. We even saw whales!!The hosts were very responsive. We had trouble with a bedroom light, they had it fixed the next day. And when the power went out while we were away, they texted to warn us, and supplied flashlights and drinking water to make sure we'd be OK.I can't recommend this place enough!! Next time we travel to Hawaii I hope it's available!

Amazing Views!
We had an amazing time with our family at the house. We had every thing we needed plus the most fantastic ocean views! Would definitely recommend! We had 9 adults and 1 child. It's a bit of a drive to swimming beaches and one of the bedrooms is only accessed by walking through another bedroom, but we would absolutely go again. The owners were nearby and very helpful too.

Amazing!
If you go to the Big Island, this is where you want to stay. The view is the best. We saw sea turtles every morning. It was less than 10 minutes from a good-sized farmer's market. All the stuff in Hilo is just 30 minutes away. Plenty of room for our family of 6 adults. Lots of beach gear! Thank you.

Amazing Stay
Had a great time, the location of the house is just breathtaking, spent an age just staring at the waves crash against the rocks, saw turtles too! The house is a canny way of the main road situated in a quiet neighborhood, house well stocked. The only issue we had was the heat, we knew at the time of booking the AC was only available in the bedrooms but the lounge and dining areas we found too hot but us Brits just not use to the heat. The coqui frogs were amazing, in full tune all night.Pool was an added bonus. Overall a fabulous stay, really missing those waves!

No bonus bedroom!
Nice house, well equipped. We were about to cook dinner a few nights with the grill and nicley set up kitchen. However, the description says bonus bedroom and there was not one. It was a day bed in the kitchen which none of our kids would sleep on because of being on the other end of the house and large open windows all around. We were traveling with another couple and our 6 kids total so "5" bedrooms would have plenty but ended up having to make a palette on the floor because of this lack of "bonus bedroom" Whats even worse is we had to list our 15 yr old amd 13 yr olds as adults not children so got charged an extra $400 for "additional guests" Not the best house if you actually need to sleep 10. Also, you should probably say in the description that there are people living in the apartment in the basement, not just in your about host. The whole point of a VRBO is not having to stay with a host! Mind you, they were not a bother and we only ran into them a handful of times, but if our kids were swimming or we walked outside we could see them through their windows. All in all, i just wished the description of the house was more accurate because we payed a lot of money for the stay and if we would have know the truth then we would have known that house wouldnt have met our needs and we would have booked somewhere else.

About the host

Hosted by Robyn

Host profile image
Aloha! I lived on Oahu for 15 years, but am now right here on the big island just down the street from the beautiful rental. I love gardening, live music, and all our beautiful state has to offer.

Why they chose this property

This is our dream home! We plan to live here when the kids are graduated from school. The Ocean front setting and quiet, tranquil living are just the way we want to spend our Hawaiian days and nights. This house has the wow factor! The views are unbelievable, and the house itself is spectacular. It is quiet and your neighbors are just far away enough to be out of site.

What makes this property unique

We love this house! It is a dream really- the outdoors are beautiful, the ocean is so close and dissolves any stress that exists in our everyday lives. The home itself is just perfect for the setting with floor the ceiling windows and a round front to take advantage of the awe inspiring views. My parents and your hosts live just below the house so are there to check you in, answer any questions you might have or give recommendations and directions to some of our favorite spots. We cut no corners furnishing this house. The large sectional has plenty of seating and is comfortable, the side chair reminds me of the waves. The beds are extremely comfortable. Every piece of furniture is something I love! Your Hosts Bill and Kathy (my parents) are in a Hosts Ohana just under the main house and are there to help with any needs you might have and to answer questions or give recommendations throughout your stay.
