Mahalo for staying with us. Avani and Dylan are available if you need help during your stay, and we hope Heavenly Honomu becomes a beautiful Big Island basecamp for your group.

By making a reservation, you are agreeing to follow these HOUSE RULES:

  • Please treat the House with Care and Respect, thanks.
  • No Smoking inside or near the house
  • No non-paying guests sleeping over
  • No parties or events or gatherings.
  • If it turns out that you had an unauthorized gathering with attendees who had not booked the home (13 max), then there will be a $1000 fee for violating this house rule and disturbing the neighbors.

So please do not plan on bringing them and then leaving them alone in the house while you go on excursions, etc.

Mahalo nui loa for following these House Rules

We had a lovely time at this fun house and AMAZING property. It's a very comfortable home for a family getaway, and within easy walking distance of a few cute stores, two restaurants, farm stands, and a goat-cuddling farm. Highly recommend.

We visited Hawaii for the first time this summer for my parent's 60th Anniversary. There were 11 of us in total at the house and we could not have made a better choice. There was plenty of space for everyone ( ok sometimes the teenage girls spent too much time in the bathrooms) and the surroundings were perfect. We loved meals on the balcony overlooking the ocean. Air hockey was fun to play. The amazing soothing sounds of the coqui frogs at night led to peaceful sleep,(earplugs were available if you didnt want to hear them). The absence of city lights was also enjoyable as we saw star filled skys. We enjoyed the fruit on the property like coconut,( the 12year old figured out how to open them) the Ice Cream pods, lemon and even cacao pods. We saw lilliokoi, bananas, mangosteen and avocados that were not quite ripe. Our friend chicken little welcomed us and followed when we followed the trails and the wild pigs were cool. What made this stay even better was the locals. Walking town to the town square and talking to the locals who offered great advice was priceless. And the food was good also. If you want something touristy, go to Kona, but if you want the real Hawaiian vibe you have to go to the Honomu House and enjoy!!!

We loved the amazing sounds of the rainforest. The kids loved the air hockey table and fruits and watching the chickens and pigs. There was plenty of space, some of the spaces could use updating, but it was functional.

This is a great place to stay if you have a large group. Our family enjoyed the solitude and also picking the fruit around the property. We would stay here again.

The property was spacious inside and out. Plenty of beds available that we didn’t even use. The grill and long patio dining table was very useful. My family enjoyed a nice dinner outside. We enjoyed the nature and the many fruit trees and seeing wild animals that would come by. It’s a nice and quiet neighborhood. It was so convenient to be able to walk to the restaurants, shops and bakery. Go see Mr. Ed at his bakery! Also really good coffee at The Hive and awesome tacos near by. We walked over to pet the goats at a nearby farm as well. There are many night bugs as expected in a farm but we just closed the doors and used the air condition at night.

We all loved this house! Such a beautiful setting tucked back away from the road. We wished we were staying longer.
