About this property
Ocean & Maunakea View Guesthouse on a Private 5-Acre Property
Welcome to Ocean View Tropical Ranch
Experience a peaceful side of Hilo surrounded by tropical greenery, open pastureland, and beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean and Hilo Bay.
Ocean View Tropical Ranch is a private 2-bedroom, 1-bath guesthouse located on our five-acre residential property in Hilo, Hawaiʻi. Our family lives in a separate, detached main residence on the property. The guesthouse has its own private entrance, dedicated parking, living spaces, full kitchen, laundry, and covered lanai, giving you the privacy and comfort of your own retreat while having your hosts nearby should you need anything during your stay.
YOUR PRIVATE HILO RETREAT
Designed for travelers who prefer the comfort and character of a local Hawaiʻi stay over a traditional resort, our spacious guesthouse combines peaceful country living with convenient access to Hilo.
Step outside onto your private covered lanai and enjoy the fresh air, tropical landscape, open pasture, and expansive views toward Hilo Bay and the Pacific Ocean. Mornings are peaceful, evenings are relaxing, and the setting gives you a chance to slow down and enjoy a different side of island life.
Despite the quiet setting, you are only approximately three miles from downtown Hilo, making the guesthouse an excellent home base for exploring East Hawaiʻi and the rest of the Big Island.

The home comfortably accommodates up to six guests and includes:
• Primary Bedroom: King-size bed and 58" HDTV • Second Bedroom: Queen-size bed and 32" TV • Living Room: Queen-size pull-out sofa and 70" HDTV • Full Bathroom: Bathtub/shower • Full Kitchen: Electric range, refrigerator, cookware, rice cooker, blender, toaster, coffee maker, and cooking essentials • Washer & Dryer inside the guesthouse • High-Speed Wi-Fi • Private Covered Lanai with outdoor seating • Private Entrance & Dedicated Parking
Streaming entertainment includes Hulu Live TV, Hulu On Demand, ESPN, Disney+, Netflix, and Amazon Prime.
Traveling with a baby? A clean, well-maintained Pack 'n Play with a removable changing station and napper is available when needed.
PEACEFUL COUNTRY LIVING, MINUTES FROM HILO
Our home is located along a quiet private road in one of Hilo's beautiful residential areas. Here, you can enjoy open space, tropical vegetation, fresh air, and a slower pace while remaining close to shopping, dining, beaches, waterfalls, and many of Hilo's attractions.
The surrounding area is wonderful for a peaceful morning walk or jog, and nearby East Hawaiʻi offers waterfalls, rainforest trails, black-sand beaches, snorkeling, kayaking, botanical gardens, farmers markets, and countless opportunities to experience the natural beauty of the island.
You'll also be conveniently positioned for day trips to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and other destinations throughout the Big Island.
LOCAL HOSTS, HERE WHEN YOU NEED US
We live in the separate, detached main residence on the same five-acre property and respect our guests' privacy. At the same time, we're nearby if you need assistance or would like local recommendations.
We're always happy to share our favorite restaurants, places to visit, scenic drives, and local experiences that may not make it into the typical visitor guide.

The best experience with a rental property ever. The location was absolutely amazing and the home was immaculate - very private yet close enough to everything we needed and wanted to do. Raul and his family were really great - our kids enjoyed playing with theirs and loved the being able to feed and play with and feed the dog, goats and chickens. We will 100% come back and use this property on our next trip back!
We loved staying here. The view from the deck was amazing, and the house was lovely, clean and spacious. The property is beautiful and we had a very relaxing time here even though it didnt stop raining. The location was great and we were able to explore many of Hilo's attractions. I highly reccommend this property for families and couples who really want to experience the island vibe.
We loved staying at Ocean View Ranch. Far enough from Hilo to be quiet and relaxing, close enough for shopping and activities. Everything we needed was within a 15 min drive. Our favorite part was having breakfast on the lanai--cool ocean breezes, fantastic view, and goats to keep us company.
Very comfortable accommodations. The quiet serene setting made it so easy to sleep well. We had everything we needed, even a Christmas tree!! That was a wonderful surprise!!! Highly recommend!
We loved this beautiful area and it was close to many of the hikes and places we wanted to visit. House was very clean and exactly as listed and host was very easy to communicate with.
Wonderful 2 bedroom apartment just a few minutes drive from Hilo town center. This is set in a lovely location with lots of space and lovely surroundings including a view of the ocean. Raul was very responsive whenever we needed anything. We arrived early and we were very appreciative of the fact that we were able and welcomed to check in early. The dining table on the covered patio was very nice to have and their neighbors have goats that we enjoyed seeing munching on the landscape. The trade winds were a welcome addition to the indoor fans on the warmer days. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you should need to cook a meal for a family. We liked the fact that we could close off the bedrooms from the main living area at nighttime. Tons of closet space and drawer space, even for heavy packers! Washer and dryer a huge plus too. The family dog Bella, is sooooo adorable. I wudve packed her in my suitcase if I could......lol. Thanks for a great stay.
We had an amazing stay at this gorgeous ranch house. My partner and I stayed for the weekend and had family come over for a barbecue. It fit us all comfortably and we all enjoyed the beautiful view and animals roaming around. 5 stars all around.

Spacious room, quite place with goats on backyard, and overlooking the ocean.
Clean, comfortable, well appointed and great views. My grandkids loved the goats and chicken. It’s a ways into town but cooler up on the hill. I would definitely stay here again
Property was very clean and the lanai had a beautiful view. Some cute goats would also run by next door in a fenced in property that was so cute. Wonderful stay for our family. Mahalo!
This cute guest house was very clean. The home was well-stocked. The views are very nice. The home is up the hill from Hilo, but the drive down to town is easy. We would definitely stay here again the next time we travel to the Big Island.
Raul was very responsive with questions/requests. Property was beautiful (nice views!) and the animals were a plus with the kiddos! Guest house was clean and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here the next time we are in Hilo!
So clean! We left a different VRBO early because it was so dirty and this one was the perfect one to come too! We had five people staying, and it was a great amount of space. So clean, the owner was so kind, great location, we want to stay here again!
What a perfect place to stay for our Ohana vacation! The hosts were so welcoming and kind. The house was clean and more than enough kitchen utensils. Even had a rice cooker which was so convenient. Definitely the best place to stay when visiting Hilo, Hawai’i!
