Ocean Breeze Retreat

​​​​​​​Relax and unwind in our condo with a fresh cup of Kona Coffee. Enjoy the breathtaking views of Hilo on our outdoor lanai! Whats better than a condo near the ocean?! This unit is a 2 bedroom 2 bath that is newly furnished and just listed! Great amenities!
Come and enjoy a vacation with amazing ocean views! This vintage 2 bedroom, 2 bath is renovated just minutes from Hilo. The living room has lots of space and bedrooms are separated which creates privacy. Enjoy the community pool with a laundry mat and meeting room. Very close to Hilo town where you can enjoy local farmer's markets and shopping. Also very close to waterfalls, botanical gardens, and lots of sightseeing.

Some things you should know prior to staying in Hawaii:
The Big Island is not to be missed, so to help make your Hawaiian dreams a reality, we have assembled all the things you may need to know about staying here in Hawaii! Curious about places to visit or things to do? "Ask us about our recommendations list!". The Big Island of Hawaii seems determined to break the norm; the stereotype of the average tropical island, that is. Here you'll find the ongoing battle between green forests, black lava fields, the ocean, the rain, and sunny days almost incomprehensible; the diversity is simply stunning. With that being said from time to time insects can be present outdoors and sometimes make their way indoors due to our tropical climate here in Hawaii. We share this information with you folks because we understand insects can be something to be fearful about or can be somewhat of a nuisance to some individuals. We would like to rest assured that we do schedule pest control services in our very tight schedule & do the maximum recommended to not harm people in the house/Condo which is once a month), but it's one of the few cons of tropical weather. Please know we go above and beyond for all of our guests and make sure to provide standard maintenance for extra comfort and an enjoyable time when staying with us here in Hawaii. *VRBO bookings will be charged a 3% processing fee when canceling.

2/10 Terrible

Cindi Y.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Total Disappointment
The unit was old and uncared for; the cheap flooring was peeling up, and the windows wouldn't shut. The windows were dirty; the screens were dirty. The windows were a very old aluminum type and needed replacing. No art on the wall created a very bare and stark feeling. The elevator and area up to the unit were also old and beat up. There was no dishwasher, no cooling or heating, no hairdryer, and many of the lights didn't work; even the light in the refrigerator did not work. The fan was filthy, along with the window sills. The screens on the windows were so filthy you could not see the beautiful view which was out the window. One bedroom had no curtains, the other had a few strips, which did nothing to block light. There were no extra trash bags, so we could not take the trash out. There were very few electrical outlets to recharge devices. The beds were those cheap foam beds, double-size beds (I do not think they were even queen-sized). The description said it had laundry - which turned out to be a run-down coin-operated laundromat in the basement. The sink drained slowly in one of the bathrooms, and a piece of plywoodboard was over the broken window. Because the window wouldn't shut, we couldn't block out any noise from a very busy road. They were doing maintenance on the building, and a terrible noise was going on from 8-3 every week day. You'd think the management would have mentioned prior to check in. There are other issues, but I'm running out of my character limit.
