About this property
Paradise Bluff: Cliffside Home w/Gorgeous Ocean Views and Tropical Garden
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.
Book with confidence—this is a licensed, legal vacation rental managed by professionals with decades of local experience. Always double check that you are booking a place that is operating legally in Hawaii - no surprises, just aloha! TA-035-906-3552-01 STVR-19-357904 NUC-19-983

The pictures didn't due the view justice. The lanais were fabulous and very comfortable for the four of us. The kitchen and laundry were well equipped and the setting was very quiet. The perfect get away from the crowds.

We had a wonderful vacation and wish would could have stayed for a month!
The view is as amazing as the photos! Probably the best VRBO that we’ve stayed in…would love to stay there again! Note: it is a 1-1/2 hr drive to Kona…we didn’t care.
Stayed here for a family vacation. House was very spacious for a group of 6. Property had amazing view of the ocean and very lovely yard. Highly recommend to book this house, will not be disappointed.
The property is absolutely gorgeous and the views, wow! Clean, and very well stocked. Property management very accessible and responsive. Had a great experience, enjoyed our stay.
We had a great stay at the property. The view is breathtaking and wonderful place to relax. While it was a bit warm at first just open it up and the breezes made it comfortable. Beds were very comfortable and it was very clean. Laundry helped. There is not a lot around for restaurants so grab food in Hilo at the grocery stores first. Cooler at the property can help keep it cold. Highly recommend staying here.

We cannot say enough about how beautiful the house and the view was. We didn’t lack for anything during our stay. Don’t think twice about booking this house.
Wonderful home. The view from the back deck was incredible. The kitchen is well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. I would highly recommend this home.
Everything about this place is a dream come true. We loved looking out the large living room windows every morning to see paradise. There is nothing like it. We will be back!

The pictures accurately depicted the interior of the home but the view is even more amazing in person! When visiting the Hilo side of the island, we would definitely stay here again.
Our stay at this incredible Hawaiian VRBO was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with breathtaking ocean views and a welcoming ambiance. The home was clean and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing vacation.The kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials (and then some), making it easy to prepare meals while enjoying the stunning scenery. The lanai quickly became our favorite spot for morning coffee, watching the sunrises and whale watching. The location was tucked away enough to feel private. The hosts were great to work with. Mahalo for an unforgettable stay!

This is our second time staying at Paradise Bluff. This house has everything you need to experience a first class vacation with a great view. We loved our experience here, and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the Big Island.
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.

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful spot. My only complaint is that one of the downstairs bedrooms does not have AC like the other two and the ceiling fan wasn't able to go full speed making sleep a challenge until the temps cooled. Otherwise, a great spot if you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle.
We enjoyed our stay at this property. The home was clean and comfortable. The view and the property are amazing! We will have to come back during whale watching season. The communication from the property manager was right on. She was prompt and informative. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. There is not much to do in the immediate location, so be prepared to drive but if your looking for some peace and quiet, look no further. Thanks for the great stay!
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.
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.
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!

We had an amazing time at this home. In the past we've stayed at condos and usually choose the penthouse. To have this beautiful house all to ourselves with the incredible views was priceless. Communication was excellent with the Host! We had a minor issue and it was handled ASAP. Highly recommend this house! Some days we preferred to stay home vs explore the island as our views were superb.
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!
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 pictures don't do this property justice. It is extremely clean and you cannot beat the views. We were never wanting for anything. There is snorkeling equipment, games, lawn chairs, coolers, really anything you need as well as a well stocked kitchen. The only thing I would mention is that one of the bedrooms doesn't have AC so you do hear the frogs at night, so if you think the noise will bother you bring a white noise machine.

This was our third stay in 6 years in this majestic house. House, views, property, fruit trees - everything in this place is dreamy. The house was stocked with starter supplies of trash bags, paper towels, laundry detergent, soap, shampoo, etc. A Country store about a mile away has all essentials, groceries and delicious fresh food. The house is 30 min from Hilo, 1 hr from Hapuna beach. Highly recommend freshly made fried chicken at a gas station down the road. The gas station has a water refill station, which was a huge cost saver for us.
