Serene Hawaiian Eco Village 15 minutes from Hilo

We had an incredible stay at Eco Village, and would highly recommend it! The bungalow rooms are thoughtfully designed and comfortable, and you can't beat the beautiful mountain view of the farm and the ocean below. The hosts, Mauricio and Paola, are absolutely delightful sharing some fresh bananas and cherries from their fruit trees and telling all about their gorgeous sustainable property.

✨✨✨An absolutely wonderful experience from beginning to end. The hostess was incredibly warm, attentive, and welcoming — the kind of person who makes everyone feel instantly comfortable and appreciated. Every detail was beautifully thought out, creating such a lovely and memorable atmosphere. Kindness, elegance, and genuine hospitality truly stood out. You can feel the care and heart owners puts into everything they did. Thank you for making our vacation so special — it was unforgettable! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The property was wonderful and secluded. Very peaceful for someone wanting to be near Hilo, but feel like they are in the middle of nowhere. We throughly enjoyed our stay and the property owner was kind enough to even send us information on Merrie Monarch, which just happened to be going on while we were there!The only issues we had were that the road leading to the property is gravel and has speed bumps. These are nearly impossible to see, and we only realized they had little markers for them after we hit one. A warning note in the welcome message we received would have been appreciated. The other issue we had was that we were sent the checkout information the morning of our checkout. I do not check my email extremely frequently, so I did not see the list of things she wanted us to do until after we had already left the property. We had done the majority of the requirements, but there were a couple of things we did not realize we needed to do. If these had been sent the night before, or even at the time of check-in, I would have been more likely to have seen the message and could have done everything. That being said, I would recommend staying here. Just be on the lookout for speed bumps and checkout info the morning of departure.

The room is ocean view, clean, quiet, cozy, atmosphere is very peaceful. The owner is very friendly and kindly. You can feel the nature.

It was a 5/5 star stay. The sunrise was absolutely stunning. The house was perfect for the start of our honeymoon. The place was clean and organized for us to find what we needed. The directions provided were clear and prepared. The host was quick to reply with anything we needed.Definitely would recommend to others.

First of all , the construction of this property is impeccable. Everything lines up perfectly. Doors, windows, tiles and beams on the ceiling. The construction is perfectly done.Everything worked perfectly and the price point should be increased (My only complaint)! The owners/hosts are beyond amazing and have clearly poured their hearts into this property.Stay here for an amazing time. This property is a complete steal at this price point and worth the stay.

The place was amazing. The view was spectacular, the farm was fun and interesting, and Paola and Mau were kind and helpful. We would love to stay again.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay here. The location, interior of the bungalow, hammock, property, and view were all terrific. We also really enjoyed talking to the owners. If we come back to this area, we will definitely stay here again.

The stay was excellent, such a peaceful location with a great view of Hilo. The room was clean and comfortable.

Lovely couple, beautiful quiet garden retreat with plentiful fresh organic fruit straight from the tree. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay in Hilo!

Beautiful view! Unique experience!

We had a great time at our stay at the Eco Village. It's a beautiful property with lots of fruit trees planted on it, so we loved taking a morning walk to see them. The units are close to each other, but we felt that there was still good privacy maintained. There's no kitchen to cook food, but lots of great restaurants in Hilo.

Wonderful Vacation rental!

I loved everything about this property. It was close enough to Hilo to be convenient, but also far enough out of town to feel serene and peaceful. The place was sparkling clean and well-designed with all the amenities you'd expect, while remaining true to its eco-friendly claims. My favorite part was swinging in the hammock watching sunset, and picking fresh lychees off the trees. I'd highly recommend!!

I was as impressed with the set-up of this quaint eco-bungalow as I was with the stunning sunrise views. The check-in process was painless, the host was communicative, and the small bungalow was clean and well-stocked. Despite its small size, there wasn’t a single item my husband and I found ourselves in want of during our short stay. They could have easily relied on the location and views alone to make our stay memorable, but the thoughtful additions of tea, oatmeal, slippers, a compost bucket, and even aloe vera were such a pleasant surprise. I’m so happy with this find, and would gladly recommend to any single or couple looking for a peaceful place in the upper hills of Hilo.

The owners are very friendly, we let them know when we were coming and they greeted us when we arrived to walk through the property. In the morning we were greeted with spectacular views of Hilo and fresh bananas from the garden. This property is great for eco-conscious visitors, as the owners make great efforts to reduce their impact on the environment and teach visitors about their efforts as well. A few things to note: despite being about 3 miles outside of Hilo, it takes a solid 10-15 minutes to get to town since the private road is one-lane and winds through adjacent farmlands. Also, coqui frogs are in the neighborhood and you will hear them at night. They sounded nice to us visitors but earplugs might be useful if you have the windows open.
