Pre-statehood mansion designed by renowned Japanese architect Frank Arakawa, lead architect for many iconic buildings in downtown Hilo, this unique island home with tropical garden is a testament to olde Hawaii craftsmanship. Minutes walk to a rejuvenating swim or snorkel with sea turtles at Carlsmith Beach Park, this historical home is ideal for family reunions & group trips. Fits up to 14 people comfortably. Enjoy modern amenities such as high-speed internet, air conditioning, and TV/Netflix. Welcome to Garden Manor by the sea! The property has six standard bedrooms with either a king or queen bed. There are also two mini rooms that each have a twin bed. The mini rooms do not have A/C or television; all the standard bedrooms do. We are located across the street from Carlsmith Beach Park. There is no water view from the house due to the tropical foliage, but the beach is just a 3-4 minute walk. The host lives onsite in the basement
