Embrace the soothing trade winds & let the ocean breeze carry your worries away

We look forward to welcoming you to the Big Island of Hawaii. The Ocean View Tropical Ranch provides a private vacation retreat with all the comforts of home for visitors and travelers to the Big Island of Hawaii seeking an alternative to the 'resort' atmosphere, where you won’t feel like a tourist.

Our Ocean View Tropical Ranch is a luxurious 2-bedroom, 1 full bath resort-style guest house located in one of Hilo’s premier subdivisions. Our guest house is truly a tropical paradise with a very spacious living area. The guest house covered lanai opens to a beautiful manicured 5 acres of mesmerizing views of pastureland merging with the endless expanse of the ocean, commanding jaw-dropping vistas of the Pacific Ocean, Hilo Bay, and the stunning coastline. The guest house offers a lifestyle that embraces both country living and the conveniences of being in town.

The guest house features a fully equipped kitchen (including an electrical range, rice cooker, blender, toaster, coffee maker, washer and dryer, cooking utensils, etc.), a queen-size pull-out sofa bed, high-speed internet, and a 70” LCD High-Definition TV with Hulu live TV, Hulu on demand, ESPN, Disney+, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. The larger bedroom is equipped with a comfortable King Size bed and a 58” High-Definition equipped with Hulu live TV, Hulu on demand, ESPN, Disney+, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. The second bedroom is equipped with a comfortable Queen Size bed and a 32” TV equipped with Hulu live TV, Hulu on demand, ESPN, Disney+, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. The guest house is also equipped with smart locks, smart smoke/carbon monoxide detector, fire extinguisher, and baby proof outlet covers (available when needed). Finally, for guests travelling with babies and infants, we offer a clean and extremely well-maintained Pack-N-Play with removable changing stations and napper.

The guest house has its own private entrance, parking, and it is protected with 24/7 security monitoring for the protection of our guest and our property (there are no cameras inside the guest house).

The guest house is located on a private road approximately three miles from downtown Hilo. It's more than a beautiful place to stay, it’s a lifestyle. You'll experience charming “Old Hawaii” where life is slow and easy. Our property allows you to relax in style or pursue a variety of adventures right outside. The landscaped grounds and naturalistic setting capture the tranquility and beauty of the islands where travelers can relax and experience the true Hawaii where the locals live.

Your host resides in the main house of the property and will personally greet you and handle your personalized access when you arrive. Your host will answer questions you may have, assist you with any special needs and help you plan your stay. Your host is also happy in sharing tips on where to visit, how to get there, where to lunch and favorite local dining spots.

The property is within walking distance of a very picturesque area of East Hawaii surrounded by streams, waterfalls and off a quiet street perfect for walking or jogging. A private serene open to views of the garden with beautiful ocean view below for ultimate relaxation. Our Retreat is a perfect Hawaiian getaway for couples celebrating their special occasion and is centrally located making it an ideal home base while exploring exotic points of interest on the island.

Hilo is famous for its warm aloha spirit, relaxed lifestyle, unique shops, art galleries and restaurants with local regional cuisine. Local attractions include Lyman Museum, East Hawaii Cultural Center, historic Palace Theatre, Pacific Tsunami Museum, Imiloa Astronomy Center, UH Hilo Performing Arts Center and Hawaii Tropical Botanical Gardens. Hilo Farmer's Market is a favorite for fresh, local produce. The Merrie Monarch Festival, Hilo's premier hula competition, and cultural events are held annually in April. East Hawaii's black sand beaches and freshwater pools are some of the bests for snorkeling, diving, surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, swimming with turtles and tropical fish, or watching the whales offshore. Take a helicopter volcano tour or a short scenic drive to active Kilauea volcano to view a lava flow, ride horses in Waipio Valley or tour the summit and view the night skies of Mauna Kea.

Weddings, graduations, receptions, or large gatherings may be allowed with the owner's prior consent. Contact us in advance to facilitate your special occasion set in the privacy of the grounds and lovely gardens.

Peaceful, very comfortable, clean, updated space!
My family of 3 very much enjoyed the peace and quiet, backyard deck (with amazing view) for eating meals, plenty of space, comfortable beds and clean linens, as well as the beach towels to make our visit effortless-- just what you want on vacation. The instructions were very clear for what to look for when at the home/parking and entering. The host/hostess understand what travelers are hoping for when on vacation-- Very relaxing, comfortable, quiet and peaceful. Location is up the hill from Hilo and removed from the city yet very close to several outdoor attractions, which is exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend--5 stars!!

So great we came back twice in 1 vacation!😀
We loved this house! The hosts were great. It was very clean, nice sheets & towels, very modern. Great view of ocean from the deck also. We booked our stay here for the first 3 days of our vacation. We needed more rooms at the end of the week when the rest of the family was arriving so we had to move to a larger 5 bedroom house thats was horrible to say the least. We quickly called this host back and told him we wanted to come back if he still had availability and thank God he did, so we went back for the remainder of our trip and had an amazing stay. . We will be coming back for sure!

Perfect spot when visiting Hilo or Volcano NP!
The home was perfect--clean, spacious, well-stocked. The views were AMAZING! Sat on the deck every morning to watch the sun rise over the ocean. Beautiful trees and flowers, cute baby goats and geese next door, so relaxing! I had also heard that Hilo now has areas that don't feel as safe. Not the case at all here. We felt like we were outside of the city and in a lush oasis, but it was close by Hilo with no problem at all going in for dinner, etc. This home is also closer to VolcanoNP, which we visiting one full day. The owners were are extremely responsive and very friendly. When we're back in Hilo, we'll definitely stay here again!

Beautiful and Relaxing
OMG! The property is beautiful and the owners are amazing!! Once we drove up our granddaughter (7 yrs) decided that she's moving to Hilo. We live on Oahu on the Windward side of the island (Kaneohe)m which is beautiful. However, I have to say staying here is what Hawaii is all about. Beautiful scenery, fresh air, relaxing country/island atmosphere and comforts of home. Property has everything you need - a home away from home and close to downtown - what else could you ask for. As we were leaving our grandkids asked us when we were coming back to Hilo and if we could stay there again. We will definitely be back! I encourage you book this property - you won't be disappointed.

The stay was great, guesthouse was very clean and had everything you need. The host answered all questions right away. 15min from everything in Downtown Hilo. Only thing for me was I didn’t feel much privacy since the family is in garage connected to the house we are in and there house is right in front. But I would totally recommend.

Thank you so much for having such a beautiful space to share on top of your ocean view hill in beautiful Hilo, HI! Watching the sunrise over the ocean was very nice and being just 10-15 minutes from town with beaches, waterfalls, restaurants and grocery was so great. We enjoyed our stay immensely and thank you for being such a nice host to us. I appreciate you having a baby bath for us, laundry with detergent, drying rack, dishwasher, coffee, microwave and kitchen space so well stocked and so much more. The bathroom was great for taking care of baby baths and all the towels were very soft. We really appreciated having a washer and dryer just for us right in the house. Your bedrooms were very comfortable and spacious, love the big closets with hangers! We were so comfortable and thank you for offering this gem! Would stay again for sure! Mahalo <3
