If you are looking for a quiet and cozy place to just relax and take in the beauty, this is a place to call "home" while on vacation! The owner was always in communication with us for any of our needs and accommodations. I highly recommend staying at this cozy hideaway and enjoy the beauty surrounding the property as well as in the home. Thank you, Erin, for your great hospitality. We will be reaching out to you in the near future for additional stays!
If you want isolation this is the place. You can't see or hear anyone or anything as it sits back off the road. Very peaceful.
We loved staying at this property! It was like a little jungle house. The amenities were great. The geckos, lizards and frogs added to the charm. Bring your bug spray.
We stayed in Maui for a week before coming to the big island and I think we got the best of both worlds by staying here. Maui seemed busy and crowded and we stayed right by the beach, this rental was the perfect place to escape to after all that hustle. It's an acre of tropical paradise where you feel like there's no one else around and I finally felt like I could relax. The first thing I did was just sit on the porch and listen to the birds and enjoy all the green beauty around me. The place was very clean and had everything that we needed, and the location was great for visiting Volcanoes National Park, which was high on our list of things to do. The cliffs were only a 10min drive down the road so we saw a spectacular sunrise in the morning, and there are some amazing beaches just a few minutes further down the road. I would highly recommend staying here for the perfect Hawaii getaway.
We had a fun time here! Was close to all that we wanted to see. Lovely nights out on the lanai for games and meals. Thankful for the air conditioning. Loved that we had privacy, but still well located. Was small, but had everything we needed. Even used the yoga mats! Would definitely come again.
Cool cottage style jungle location. Good comms from Erin in checkin/checkout process. Amenities in unit as advertised including bbq, AC and w/d. Place can get quite hot during the day, but just open the doors and ceiling fan and hang out on the deck. Experienced some issues post check in and during our stay which Erin addressed as best as possible, given the circumstances.
My friends and I attended the Merrie Monarch Hula Competition in Hilo this year and wanted somewhere quiet to stay from all the choas. This property situated 20 mins out of Hilo was perfect for us. Settled in the lush green land of Keeau, this house offered everything you could need for a private getaway. Our host Erin was awesome for going beyond and getting us into our vrbo, despite the time differences and computer error. We clearly were unprepared for what we encountered but Erin gave us that easy check-in/ check-out vibe. I highly recommend this property to anyone and everyone. It's beautiful, quiet, secluded and perfect for anyone under the sun.
This was a great place to stay. Info is 100 % accurate, everything was there. I must have miss the directions on getting there. Here is my input for directions: Leaving airport turn left at light (hwy 11). Go apx 7 miles to (hwy 130) at light turn left. Go 6 miles to Showers Dr. at light turn left and go 3 streets down turn right to address. Hidden drive needs some sort of marker. Again GREAT place !!!
