Your Very Own Private Hawaiian Resort - Top-Rated, Fully STVR Permitted

This was the perfect stay in paradise! There's seriously everything you could need, just pack clothes! Thank you Richard and Bev! You helped make this one of the best family vacations yet.

Our family absolutely enjoyed this house and the location. The house was exactly as described and had everything we needed for our 7 day stay. The pool and lanai were the highlights and the beds were very comfortable. Will definitely be back!

This place was soo clean & organized. It had EVERYTHING down to pots, pans, spices condiments. Super luxury kids had a blast the pool was beautiful and we loved the outdoor lanai which we spent most of our time. Thank u for letting us enjoy our stay here will definitely be back for sure gonna make this a yearly trip.

We came to attend our son’s wedding. This property met our needs perfectly. The property was well equipped to make it feel like a home away from home. I especially loved listening to Hawaiian music on the lanai. We would rent this property again.

This tropical getaway home is a perfect VRBO rental for a family or couple visiting the Pahoa/Hilo area. The home has everything you need, including a wonderful refreshing pool. All you need is your clothes and groceries. The home has a security system and locking entrance gates. Even an extra friendly cat to greet you when you come and go!

The hosts did an excellent job communicating and making sure their home had everything you need to enjoy your stay (ok coffee drinkers please know you have the Keurig or a French Press with coffee grinder). The house, grounds and pool are just beautiful. Great place to stay to see East side of island, Hilo and Volcano so close! I’d love to come back here!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here. The home is beautifully decorated and accommodating. The pool is a real plus as well. We come to the big island from time to time and, if possible, we'll stay here in the future.

Hawaiian Paradise was the name of the area of the house and the house lived up to the name. Beautiful interior and exterior with a fabulous pool. Lanai had everything we needed including bbq, fridge, and sink. Also included was a local cat, Cheeto, who was as friendly as can be. Our week here was the best.

Great property and exactly as described. Private and secure with a wonderful outdoor space. We spent 5 of our 7 evenings exploring and trying the recipes cleverly provided by our house hosts. (They were all pretty awesome!). We enjoyed eating and coking on the lanai. The pool was pretty great as well. Very comfortable beds, the house is well furnished, clean, neat and super comfortable. The location of the house is just a few blocks from the shore line, with great views. We got up early enough ti catch the sunrise on a few mornings.We brought our road cycles and rode directly from the house for some pretty epic rides along the old government trail.

The house was a bit out of the way but worth it. A beautiful, clean home with a nice salt water pool! It had all we needed to make meals. The beds were comfy too. Highly recommended.

Beautiful, well maintained, well stocked home. Even had flashlights to borrow to walk through Kaumana Caves lava tubes. The welcome pack booklet is very detailed and helped with so much. I am a cat lover and they even had provided some cat food for a couple of local cat visitors. One of whom was quite friendly, we all enjoyed petting him when he came around.

The property was beautiful, the amount of supplies and games it was stocked with was amazing. You literally don’t have to bring anything but your change of clothes. My family enjoyed staying in instead of going out. It was the perfect place to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with my adult kids especially with my son being back home from the military and getting to spend his 1st holiday with his family since he was deployed for 6 years and for all my adult kids to enjoy one another. They loved all the games and the pool and always had something to do. The property was clean and amenities was well provided. It’s in a quiet neighborhood away from noise and very peaceful. We are already planning our next trip as we didn’t have enough time to tour the island since we stayed in most of the time lol! This has been the best I’ve seen so far 😃

A truly wonderful home in paradise. Great indoor and outdoor spaces for hanging out, dining, grilling and swimming. The modern kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. Comfortable bed and we slept well at night. Quiet location great for exploring the east side of the Big Island. Easy to communicate with hosts.

We had a wonderful stay at this house. We were there for 8 days and could’ve stayed longer. We had a great time exploring the area, which is off the beaten path and gave us a good taste of local life. We loved the maku’u farmers market on Sunday. The house was very functional- clearly the owners live here part time and have the place set up so that you have everything you. The picture don’t do it justice.

This was the finest place we’ve ever stayed in while in the islands. We all appreciated the upscale furnishings and appliances. Loved the silky-feeling water in the pool. Thank you for all your thoughtful details and care provided! We did not need to communicate with the property manager.

The lenai with outside kitchen overlooking the pool was a feature that was truly enjoyed...

This home has everything you could need for an enjoyable stay near Hilo. The hosts were fast at communication leading up to our stay and provided a detailed manual for the use of the home along with general guidance on local Hawaiian living. We used the saltwater pool every day of our stay! The landscaping is beautiful and property is large in a quiet neighborhood. All of the beds were comfortable. Falling asleep to the croque frogs and waking up to the roosters and birds made for the most restful sleep. We had 5 adults staying and we travelled here to visit local friends and attend their wedding. This home was a great place to spend our time on the Hilo side of the Big Island. Thank you for the great space!

The house was nice, clean, and peaceful. It is a nice property that almost seems secluded. The pool was awesome and we spent the majority of our time at the house on the lanai and in the pool.

This property was a great place to stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool. The house has many thoughtful items that make you feel welcome and at home. There is some neighborhood noise from the lot across the street being developed and the pool pump sounded like it was struggling. Wish there was one full length mirror in the house. And a regular coffee maker would have made the place perfect (we did use the French press instead of the Keurig). Thank you Richard and Bev for sharing your place.

Such a lovely home with everything you could want and more. Having the pool right there in your backyard is an extra bonus. Easy location to Hilo, Volcanos National Park and so much more. Communication is easy with the owners and the guide they provide makes staying there delightful. We will be back. Mahalo!

Very nice and comfortable outdoor/bbq area. House was well stocked and kitchen area perfect. We enjoyed the pool!

We stayed here 2 years ago and loved it so much we came back for 6 weeks this year. A fantastic place to call home for however long you get to stay. Hope to return again🌴

We usually stay with family during our visits to the Big Island, but this time we decided to venture out on our own. I searched and searched for the perfect place. The reviews are what helped me decide. That being said... EVERYTHING was PERFECT!! We usually would go to Walmart or Target to get little knickknacks we may need for our stay... This time we didn't need to. I was amazed... The house was fully stocked of the essentials needed for a perfect getaway. There were a few times I needed to get in touch with our Host. Communication was phenomenal. The house was very clean and very well decorated and planned. I didn't want to leave!!! If allowed to, we have found our perfect getaway spot for our next visit to the Big Island and would definately recommend staying here!! You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much Mr. & Mrs. Johnson for everything!! Aloha!

Loved the pool and back patio. Grounds were secure. Communication with host was excellent.
