We enjoyed our stay in this huge home.. The large kitchen Is a good place to cook meals together and the yard was the perfect place to enjoy them. The kitchen and bathroom were stocked well. There are AC units in the lower bedrooms, many ceiling fans and moveable standing fans for other places in the house. It’s a good place for multiplecouple or families to spend time together.
I was unable to open my email to get the access code when arriving to the property. I didnt know there would be no phone service in tha area. Eventually had to use the rong cam to get the code verbally. The water pressure was really low, at times a fine stream from the sinks & showers. Hot water was low, not sure why. We had to make sure our guests showered one at a time to see if this would help with water pressure and hot water availability. Other than that, the house was beautiful. Kitchen and room accommodations was filled with what is needed.
The host was super helpful with any questions we had. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed for our 7 night stay.
We ran into a couple problems in the first couple days and messaged the host. He was extremely responsive and our water issue was IMMEDIATELY addressed. We had plenty of room for all 8 of us. The kitchen was fantastic, we did prepare a couple meals during our stay and all necessary utensils were available. The beds were extremely comfortable. We awoke in the morning ready for the next days adventures. I would definitely return to this home if we were traveling as a group again.
Great stay close to Hilo and Volcano National Park. The house fit two families comfortably, with plenty of space for kids and teens. Everything was clean, well stocked, and easy to settle into. The host communicated quickly and clearly, which made things smooth. Perfect for a short stay and definitely recommend.
10 of us stayed July 15-22, 2025. Two families plus an extra niece and my daughter's boyfriend. There was plenty of space to spread out or come together. The beds were all very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with any pan or skillet you need. The gated entrance added to the peace of the house. The house looks just like the pictures. We wanted a place out of town but not isolated, and boy did we find it! This place is a hidden gem tucked away in a quiet community where you can sit outside and enjoy the sounds of nature.
We were a small university field biology course. Good location for us. This is a beautiful property! My only complaint was that the outside garbage from the previous stay was not disposed of. No place to put our garbage.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Spacious & Modern Pāhoa Retreat Near Kehena Beach! Our group ranged in age from 87 to 96, with one 44-year-old, and this home was perfect for everyone. While it has two levels, the layout was spacious and beautifully designed, making it comfortable and easy to navigate.The colors and design made everyone feel very special—like it was a real treat to be there. The bathrooms were large and well-appointed, and the linens were soft and high-quality, adding to the overall comfort. The beds were all very comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked, and the home had everything we could have wanted to make our stay enjoyable.We had the opportunity to meet the owner of the home while we were there and the kindness that was shown to our group is enough to make me be a cheerleader for this property. Also, the management company was super responsive and very helpful! The peaceful location was ideal, offering a quiet retreat while still being close to all local attractions. They were in the process of finishing an outdoor kitchen and a whole outdoor area, which will be amazing once completed. If we ever get the chance to return to the Big Island, we would love to stay here again!This is a beautiful property and we made forever memories there. Thankful that we chose this place!
