Happy Honu Oasis, Surf shack with pool and A/C

We really enjoy traveling as a couple and like to pick a base camp that we can venture out from day by day. We wanted to provide something similar for our guests. We had a lot of fun setting up Happy Honu Oasis (HHO) with this thought in mind. We hope you will settle in and feel comfortable there.

HHO is a top floor studio apt with a private bath, Air conditioning, and nice size dressing area. We have provided self-care essentials for you (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and some other essentials including sunscreen and a first aid kit). Although this top floor unit is on the 3rd floor, only one flight ofnstairs is needed as parking is level with the 2nd floor. There is not an elevator.

In the main room there is a full size kitchen and lounging/sleeping area. Kitchen appliances include a refrigerator, full size stove and oven, and microwave. There is an air fryer/toaster and rice cooker.

For preparing beverages, there is a coffee maker, electric hot water kettle, and blender. We have had fun picking up delicious fresh ingredients at the Farmer's Market in Hilo, or at one of the many roadside fruit and veg stands in the area and preparing a meal in our apt. Wait until you see the size of these avocados!! and they are so yummy and buttery. You can pack the cooler for a beach picnic, or for a day out exploring one of the fascinating areas of the island.

The queen size bed is extremely comfortable and the futon folds out for additional sleeping space. There is perfect Arizona conditioning too!

The lanai gets a great breeze and is comfortable throughout the day. There are roll-down blinds for privacy and sun blocking. The lanai is set up with a dining table where you can enjoy a snack or meal, or do some work (if you must!) We have stocked some games in the rattan bookshelf for your fun. The WIFI is on, and you can enter your code for your favorite streaming services on the big TV while you relax. There is also beach gear in the wicker trunk on the lanai, along with pool towels in the closet.

We take pride in sharing a clean and pleasant space with you. HHO received a complete refresh in 2022, and now features artwork honoring honu by Chris, your co-host. Our cleaning team follows COVID cleaning protocol. We have included a Guest Guide in our online listing, as well as a book of info at the apt. If you have specific questions that we haven't covered, please feel free to message us.

We have integrated several of our favorite amenities for travel into this apt, and would love to hear your suggestions too!

We hope you have a happy and relaxing stay at Happy Honu Oasis, Valerie and Chris

Checkin Glitch
I enjoyed staying here and would stay there again. Had a little problem getting the lock on the door to open but it was rapidly corrected. The information regarding the wifi also needs to be updated. Other than that my stay was very pleasant.

Good place to stay in Hilo.
This property is in a good location in Hilo. Very convenient to visit nearby attractions. Also a good place to go to Volcano, Akaka falls and other attractions on the eastern side of the Big Island.

Two happy honus
The Happy Honu Oasis was in the perfect location: close to all of the things we wanted to do and removed enough to get the peace and quiet we needed. Our hosts communicated quickly. The apartment was really well thought-out from the binder of suggestions to the snorkeling equipment on the lanai. We would definitely stay here again.

Happy in Hilo
This location was perfect for our stay in Hilo. Easy parking and close to a lot of amenities. Happy Honu Oasis had everything we needed and things we didn’t know we needed! So thankful for the cooler! The bed was very comfortable. While it is a bit dated, it is decorated adorably and very clean. Highly recommend.
