I always have a wondeful time when I stay at MJTH, the hosts are always welcoming and responsive. It's become my home away from home. The outside space is a great place to relax and read one of the many books provided about Hawaii, the inside is spacious, warm and comfortable.It's just a few miles from beautiful ocean views and market and pizza close by in Pahoa.

Amazing spotGreat yardGreat owners God bless y’all for placing this amazing home so ppl can feel good and happy while on vacation

We enjoyed our visit to Big Island of Hawaiii the house we stayed at was very clean, well furnished and lovely. The instructions we received from Jani’s and Stan were excellent for check in and out.

Our 11th or 12th visit to the island. We enjoyed the house and will add it to our favorites list. Very clean with a relaxing atmosphere. The house location is an ideal hub to Kalapana, Pohoiki beach, Hilo Town and the volcano. Pahoa is 5 minutes away. Personal likes:Privacy on a thought out landscaped property Cool nights for sleeping Waking up early to sitting on the front porch for the bird watching (including the chickens) or going back to sleep in the hammock in the back of the house.

Beautiful property! Nice quiet neighborhood! Hosts are so nice, and hospitable. Would definitely come back again! Thank y’all so much for an enjoyable stay!

This peaceful and welcoming home eas perfect for our family of 3. I loved all the amazing art, and how it was set up with a few big covered porches for good times in all weather. No A/C was no problem with all the great ventilation, we were comfy. We had the extra joy of touring around Hilo for a day with our amazing hosts, Jahnys and Stan. Cant say enough lovely things about their hospitality and aloha spirit. Hope to come back again!

Excellent property and great communication with the owners. Major problems with VRBO. Website issues and customer service problems. Would rent here again but maybe go through Air B&B rather than VRBO.

The owners were kind, and great communicators. The house was a home full of history and culture. We loved every aspect of the stay. There were lots of extras which helped make the stay comfortable.

The host was very caring and wanted to make sure things were going well for us. It was a great home base to use to explore the island. Unfortunately the brown double recliner couch was not on the property when we were there.

Loved the property. Great outdoor space. House was fully stocked with everything you could need. Really great rental.

We enjoyed our stay at this house in the country. Host were very much in contact to assure everything was where it was and how it worked. Very quiet clean neighborhood and grounds. We enjoyed all the decor throughout the property.

Pretty setting, private yard. Was warm in the house during the day, cooled off after sunset. Clean, well equipped with our vacation activity needs.

This was my second stay here for a week of rest and relaxation. I love coming here by myself to get away and enjoy the quiet and nature. I arrived the same day as Hurricane Hone was passing. The hosts were very accommadating in being flexible with my arrival and updating me on conditions, the rest of the week was perfect. The kitchen is well equipped and the house roomy and comfortable. Also love the outdoor space. I will be returning!

We were so lucky to have found Mama J’s! Wait until you see it. The property is secluded but close to the main roads as you go on day trips, shopping, out to eat, etc. From the relaxing front porch to the back covered lanai to the library room to all the home decor, it’s such a great place. Check in was a breeze thanks to all the information provided upfront. It has all the amenities that you'll need and then some. It's very clean. Beds are comfortable. Big screen TV and strong WiFi. Lots of fans for your use and it definitely cools down at night. So much thought has been put into this rental by the owner. We loved seeing all the wildlife also enjoy Mama J's yard. It's very peaceful. We loved returning to this retreat each night. When we return to visit our daughter who is attending graduate school at UH Hilo, we would love to book this place again.

Our stay here was nothing short of awesome! The home is so beautifully decorated and everything is well stocked and well thought of in the house. Its a perfect place for a vacation. Will definitely rent again.

Amazingly relaxing, yet close to everything. The hosts have thought of every little detail.

Beautiful property inside and out, everything we needed, exceptionally easy and enjoyable communications with Owners who went above and beyond to ensure a most excellent experience on the Big Island. The Library houses an amazing abundance of history, story, visual feed and I highly recommend perusing and immersing self with the treasures that lie within. We will definitely be returning.

Absolutely amazing. Premier host indeed!! Not one item was forgotten or overlooked. WILL RETURN FOR SURE

My wife and I absolutely loved the house. More than enough room for us. We had family staying nearby and we invited them to dinner. The house had everything we needed to entertain guests. Plenty of fans in the house to circulate the air but we didn't need any. The TV is huge and the covered carport is a great outdoor space. The property felt very secure with a fenced in yard and an electric remote-control gate. I have nothing negative to say about the property but it is very tropical. Bring earplugs if the Coqui frogs keep you awake. They lull me to sleep.

We make a stop for a few days each time we are on the big island at this home. It's a great pit stop for seeing so many sites. Parks, drives along the ocean, the zoo & botanical garden in Hilo. A nice grocery store is close by. The home is roomy & as of this year gated for a feeling of security. It's a comfortable for a couple or family/

The property was located exactly where I needed, near Pahoa and Hawaiian Beaches/Shores. The owners have added many beautiful personal touches, making for a very comfortable stay. The inside is very nicely appointed and the outside lanais are the best. I look forward to staying again soon!
