About this house rental

Charming beach cottage with commanding ocean view of the best beach on the east side of Hawaii! Waiuli (Richardsons Beach) is the best for swimming, surfing, and snorkeling. What's the best thing about it? It's right across the street! Grab a mask and snorkel (there's plenty of fun beach gear at the house to use!) and go explore the cove! Wish to just relax and lay in the shade? There's a great area behind the house to hang out or bbq while watching the ocean. Perfect for families, groups or a nice couple get-away!

We had a great time! So comfy, great location. We enjoyed getting up and having coffee on the enclosed porch - so much to watch. The host was super nice. Went above and beyond - we had a late check in as well as a late check out. Great communication. Thanks so much, we truly enjoyed our visit.

The hosts were very responsive to questions before and during our stay, making this a stress-free experience. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped. Beds were comfortable and having separate floors allowed maximum privacy. Everything was spotlessly clean.The location is outstanding! Richardson Beach is a wonderful snorkeling and swimming place with a lifeguard and beach showers. We saw whales every day - most often breaching just before sunset. The hosts provide a great assortment of beach and snorkel gear.We spent four nights exploring from Waipio to Volcano National Park and this was a perfect home base.
