Only good things to tell - Very clean, a lot of space, everything you need is there, great location when visiting the east side of the island including Volcanoes National Park. The location of the property is also very quiet (only the frogs and other creatures at night take a bit of getting used to ;)). Can definitely recommend.
Very serene and quiet home.
It was awesome - so clean, so private, so big, so nice!
We love this place! This is our second stay here. Listening to the frogs at night and seeing the stars are highlights. It’s close to Volcano NP. We were able to see an eruption this time. We wish there were a few more dish towels for the kitchen as well as paper towels. We made every meal while staying. The local stands have the best fruit and vegetables.Mahalo.

excellent. clean. quiet.
Eryting wuz good. Property manager wuz awesome. We rented one side of a duplex. But one of oua frens needed a place to stay so I asked if I could rent the other duplex unit an da property manager wuz very accommodating. Thank you very much
Overall, a great stay! Very clean property, nice sized bedrooms, 2 full baths. Saw a few roaches around the property, so didn’t love that, but that happens when staying in the middle of the woods. Kitchen was pretty nice, stocked with plenty of dishes, cooking utensils, and pots/pans, plus some dry goods, like coffee, spices, oil, etc. would definitely recommend staying here!
Beautiful spacious home tucked away 30 minutes from Hilo and 30 minutes from the Volcano National Park. We traveled the entire island and enjoyed the cool and quiet climate of this home. Listing very accurate with lots of space. Directions to home and access was on point.
Close enough to get to the volcano and other interesting things.
The house is in a nice location for a remote peaceful visit to the Big Island. The home was clean and well supplied and the hosts communicated well.There were a few critters in the kitchen while we were there, but not unexpected for a home located in such a remote area.A very nice stay overall!
Natasha & Yaro were the best Hosts ever. Their home was pristine, fully equiped and in a great, quiet peaceful setting. Will certainly be staying with them on our next visit to the Big Island!!!!
We would stay here again in the future
The hosts were extremely accommodating as we rented the whole house. Extremely friendly hosts and super clean house. Very much enjoyed our stay!
Enoyed out stay as we visited the Volcano and Hilo regions of Hawai'i. This home was very clean and open. Beds were comfortable and accommodating for my family. We loved the sound of the frogs during the night and the rain showers. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. Very pleasant stay!
This is a great place in a quiet area of locals, not in a major hotel district. We loved being on the windward (wet, lush) side of the island, not far from Hilo.
My highlights/favorites:
- kitchen has a good range of pans, dishes, spices, and tupperware for making and storing our own meals (we did breakfast and dinners at home most days). Similarly, I love that they really had sufficient dishes, cups, and utensils for 8 people.
- Our kids loved having king size beds (since they had to share) which were roomier than the standard queen size beds.
- In addition to the pictured kayak, there was a large tote with boogey boards, snorkeling gear and life vests (mostly in kid sizes) which were open for our use, and which came in handy.
- The host warned the water might not be to our liking, but we thought it tasted great.
- The house was clean, well organized, and comfortably apportioned.
- The home is perfectly situated between Volcano National Park and Hilo.
(We did not need to contact the host during our stay.)
Quirks:
- There is no centralized ventilation in the house, just breezes through windows. Given the humidity, wet clothes hung up have difficulty drying unless you use the dryer.
- The frogs are fairly loud at night, but after the first night, we had become accustomed and it did not disturb our sleep. (Frogs will probably be loud anywhere on the west aide of the island.)
Overall, we would gladly stay there again! We had a wonderful time!
We rented both sides of this duplex and it was perfect! So clean and spacious! We had a great time! Great isolated location but close to volcano and Hilo! We’d definitely stay here again!
Property was accommodating as noted and accompanied all our needs as far as essentials. As much as it rained, we actually enjoyed the sound of it during the nights (really only time we were at property). If you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of the town, this place gets you out there 😉 washer and dryer are always welcoming at vacation time
Enjoyed our stay here, no complaints. The host does not provide laundry detergent, a slight inconvenience, the oven was not working but the host was unaware of it. Natasha is very responsive. The place was very clean and had plenty of dishes and cups. Bathrooms were also nice/clean with all toiletries provided. Overall would recommend this place.
