The Nene Hideaway
The Nene Hideaway is the perfect home for those seeking to be mere steps from Hilo, Hawai'i's fantastic beach parks, without being exposed to a busy beachfront roadway. Richardson Beach Park is a casual 4-minute walk from this home, nestled around the corner on Nene Street, a peaceful, jungle-lined lane.  Our home offers the highly desirable yet rare combination of excellent beach access and privacy. It truly is a gem in the jungle! he Nene Hideaway is a spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom home featuring a lovely lanai for outdoor living that seamlessly flows into the spacious indoor living area and a well-equipped kitchen. On the property, you will see bamboo, hibiscus, banana plants, avocado trees, and other tropical plants. There is covered off-street parking. The home has stairs, which may be unsuitable for individuals who are unable to use them. See the photos below for further details on the home's accommodations. See the photo gallery for more pictures and further details of the home.​
Our Neighborhood
​Richardson Beach Park is Hilo's premier oceanfront park, offering fantastic snorkeling, fun surfing, and great swimming. It has a rare black sand beach with a lifeguard tower. It is a popular place to see Honu (Hawai'ian green sea turtles) and humuhumunukunukukapua'a (the state fish), and in the winter, humpback whales during their migration. The shores of Richardson blend directly into a half-mile-long stretch of fantastic beach parks with beautiful bay views, nooks and crannies to explore, and sheltered picnic pavilions. A lovely mile walk (or drive) up Nene Street from the home will take you to another one of Hilo's top beach parks, Carlsmith.  Carlsmith is a great swimming beach with a sandy bottom, and is another fantastic place to see honu. Our home is only 5 miles from various grocery and box stores, as well as Hilo's Bayfront shopping district, where you will find the famous Hilo Farmer's Market, antique and souvenir shops, and incredible restaurants. Hilo International Airport is a simple 12-minute drive. Our home is an excellent base for exploring Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, the waterfalls of the Hamakua Coast, and all the lush jungle parks on the windward side of the Big Island of Hawai'i.​ For further details on all the many wonderful things there are to do and see while staying in our home, see the "Things To Do" section of our website.

It was our second time we stayed in this nice house and again enjoyed it a lot. We find it very well equipped, nicely and comfortably furnished and decorated, beautiful colors, very homey. It is nice to sit out on the Lanai listening to and watching birds. For us, everything was perfect down to the All free and clear washing powder :-). An absolute plus is the location, just minutes walking distance to Richardson Beach with beautiful snorkeling. Robert and Erinn are wonderful host, very attentive and responsive.
Everything about our stay here was perfect. The home is lovely, comfortable and cosy, with everything we needed. We especially appreciated the snorkels, etc, and it was great to be able to do laundry. We really wish we could have stayed longer.
