This house exceeded our expectations. The view is amazing and the house is nice and clean. It is away from the populated areas and is just what we needed. We loved watching for turtles in the waves. The breeze coming in at night was amazing after long days exploring the island.
Spacious, lovely, well enough appointed. Beautiful views on the ocean.
Had an amazing time on the big island.
Location was quiet, and relaxing. Just the right distance to volcano and Hilo to feel like you’re on a vacation away from the hustle and bustle.
Split bedroom design great for families as kids were nestled upstairs while adults could still chat and enjoy the deck.
Outdoor space was comforting but be prepared splashes do occur!! Yes it’s that close to the waves crashing in.
very clean and well stocked with equipment, appliances, & utensils for home cooking. Ocean waves are great for sleeping, along with amazing sunrises and sunsets
This house is exactly as advertised. Very clean and beautiful with an amazing view of the water. I highly recommend.
Wonderful listening to waves at night. Clean, spacious home. Would definitely book again
Probably the most beautiful place I've ever stayed - but not the most expensive, by any means. Directly on the ocean. You can sit on the lanai and feel the spray on your face. The house itself is quite beautiful. If you want a place to stay on the Big Island that you won't want to leave, even to go to dinner - this is it. And at a reasonable price. Couldn't be happier.
Loved staying here! So wonderful to hear the ocean day and night. The view was wonderful. Sunrise each morning was a special treat. This place is a slice of heaven.
Loved the home and the views as well as the walk to the bluffs at the nearby park - even though the waves and weather kept us off the deck most of our stay.
This is a very nice property overlooking a beautiful lava rock oceanside cliff. Sitting on the deck watching the waves crash was one of our favorite things! The awesome power of nature was just stunning! Nice neighborhood...did some walks and a run in the area. Very spacious master bedroom and bathroom on main floor. Nice bathroom and two bedrooms upstairs. Bonus half bath on the main floor. The property was pleasantly decorated and had all the basic amenities needed. One of the fans in one of the bedrooms was not working and we notified Vacasa. Didn't think they were going to bring us a new one, so we went ahead and bought a box fan at Walmart as there is no AC and the bedrooms needed air circulation and some kind of white noise. Hoping they reimburse us for that as we left the fan there. Otherwise, my only "concern" is the floors in the property and some areas of the house, particularly the kitchen, needed more cleaning...deep cleaning. There were a lot of different hairs around the whole house. I know...gross. But I believe it is probably hard to get all that up with the humid/sticky air and everything sticks to the floors and walls and such. Washer and dryer in the garage was a nice bonus!That being said, I would absolutely stay there again!! I would probably just do a quick cleaning "once over" when I arrived. Also, loved being on the Hilo side of the island. The Kona side was very touristy and busy. This was more low key and close to our areas of interest!
Location is amazing. The patio sitting on the waters edge was a delight, and watching the turtles from there after a day at the beach was a perfect nightcap.
No a/c was tough with the heat this month, only thing that made it tough for a few hours in the afternoon/evening. Otherwise a great house.

1. **Location and View**: The location offers a great beach view, which was enjoyable, especially during sunrise with morning coffee.
2. **Climate and Ventilation**: The climate, although humid and hot in the mornings, was manageable with open windows at night, allowing for a good breeze.
3. **Cleanliness**: The house was as neat and clean overall, but there were concerns about stinky smells in household vessels and some areas.
4. **WiFi Connectivity**: There were persistent issues with WiFi from day one. Despite a technician's visit, there was no improvement throughout your stay.
While the location and view were positives, issues such as poor WiFi connectivity and occasional odors in household items detracted from our experience. These aspects are crucial for future guests to consider, especially those dependent on reliable internet access. It might be beneficial for Vacasa to address these concerns promptly to enhance overall guest satisfaction.
The house was right on the ocean! It's was a beautiful location.
This house was a great place to stay! It was nice and clean and the view was amazing! It doesn't have AC so we had to open al the doors and windows to get a cool air flow.
Spacious, well equipped home. View was spectacular! Comfortable and clean. Quiet well kept neighborhood. Did need to sleep with windows/doors open, gets a bit warm, even with the ceiling fans. Quick drive (just under 15 min) to a nice grocery store. Would recommend, and would stay again.
This beautiful home was equipped with everything we needed. Breath taking views and convenient location. Highly recommend for a romantic getaway or a family retreat. Our host was fantastic! Thank you.
We absolutely loved the view! Watching and listening to the waves as they crashed against the rocks was both calming and overwhelming at the same time. One member of our party had physical challenges so accessibility was a concern; however, the bedroom and en-suite bathroom on the first floor was more than accommodating. This was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable vacations we’ve had!
Beautiful spot, house is large, nicely furnished and decorated with a well stocked kitchen and other amenities.
In a residential neighborhood, very friendly atmosphere and pleasant area to walk around. Pahoa is a quiet town, has a nice new grocery market and a few fun places to go out to eat or drink. We saw tons of whales go by from the lanai and enjoyed short day trips to Hilo and Volcano.
1st rate home right on the waterfront in a safe and friendly neighborhood fairly close to town
A great stay for us with all the whale and dolphin activities in front of the house!
The home was beautiful and very clean. The kitchen was stocked with everything you will need during your stay. The neighborhood was full of wonderful people with helpful suggestions on things to see and places to eat. The view of the ocean was breathtaking, we saw a lot of whales and turtles. I would highly recommend this vacation home.
This home was light and spacious, loved the great room, kitchen, master suite and views of the ocean! The master suite is large and comfortable, with views of the ocean. The other 2 bedrooms are upstairs and smaller, with no ocean views. They share a bathroom. Loved hearing the crashing of the waves! The home is larger than it looks like in the photos. It’s about 6 miles down a paved road from the town of Pahoa.
It is a clean and spacious house right beside the ocean. We appreciate the gorgeous ocean view and the holiday cookies from the host. The instructions for check in and check out are clear. We rented a car at the airport and drove to Hawaii Volcanos National Park (one hour driving), Kua Bay (two hours), and Maura Kea (less than two hours).
We spent four days at the house. We enjoyed seeing the whales literally right in our backyard on two occasions. Sunrises were spectacular and we very much enjoyed venturing to both the Town of Hilo and Volcano National Park.
Very nice home with great views of the ocean. Lots of space- nice and comfortable.
