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.

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.
