Wonderful property close to Volcano NP. Nice decor and very comfortable beds.
Spectacular home on large, lush property. It has a timeless charm that does not come through in the photos. Absolutely lovely and comfortable.
Gorgeous home with stunning art and decor. Well appointed kitchen. Stunning backyard and back deck with amazing jungle foliage surrounding. The singing frogs, geckos and pheasants added to the experience! The beds were super comfortable and the bathrooms were beautiful! We are a family of 5 and we enjoyed cooking meals at home, playing outside and watching movies! We can say enough about how gorgeous and well laid out the house is! Our three kids shared a king bed and enjoyed cuddling on the custom window seat/couch to watch movies. We enjoyed a fire in the fireplace too! We will definitely look into renting again next time we come to Hawaii!!! Our kids LOVED it!!!
The house is a complete gem. Beautiful, spacious, well designed architecture and layout. Lovely furnishings and decor (some Asian inspired). The lanai and yard are beautiful and so peaceful. We felt like we were in the womb of the forest! No bugs whatsever, but birds, and nightly sounds of frogs. The owners have been very thoughtful in many details. Lighting, kitchen supplies, linen cupbards well stocked, etc. Everything so clean, organized and comfortable. We loved the feeling of utter peace and isolation, and loved being an 8 min drive into Volcanoes National Park. And a few minutes' to the several restaurants and basic shops in the 'village'. The key pad code to enter the house was not working, but the Vacasa people answered the help line quickly and talked me through how to get into the lockbox for a key.
An amazing property. the only downfall was access to nearbye reasonably priced food. Also, a bracelet was left behind we think. We were told they would let us know if they found it and did not hear back (99% sure it was left on shelf in bathroom upstairs). But the comfort, the quietness, cleanliness, and personal touches to this home were beyond amazing for us. If you are looking for a quiet, clean, incredibly comfortable tropical "jungle" type experience, this is the place!
Two bedrooms both with comfy beds, beautiful lighting and outstanding showers. The large family room has enough beds and couches to accommodate the full 8 person max. An outdoor heated shower head made cleaning off from the beach a delightful experience and the property in general provides bountiful botanical delights. Full kitchen with more dishes than you could possibly use, and no empty cabinets for food. Plan on using counter space for any groceries. Info states the water isn't potable but we found the house was equipped with drinkable water filtration system so that's a plus!The property is not fully accessible but for the fully able it's a wonderful spot!!! Would definitely stay again
Property is full of life and house was nice & cozy with fire place. Our second time staying here and definitely not our last. Great place to relax and unplug from every day life!!!
We stayed at Hale Hapu'u in June 2024 and loved it! It was the best set up for us while we visited Volcano, HI. We had two families with teenagers, so the set up was great! The kids loved exploring around the property and listening to the tree frogs at night. The location was perfect, the drive to Volcanoes National Park was super close. We enjoyed spending an entire day in the park and having a quick drive back to the house. We loved the house, the decor was awesome, appliances and kitchen were great because we were able to make meals for the whole crew and hang out playing board games and cards at night. The hosts were great, they checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed and didn't have any questions. We would highly recommend Hale Hapu'u, the hosts and Vacasa. A++++
My whole family loved this house, it is beautifully decorated, very well stocked kitchen, both showers are amazing, beds were comfy and the landscaping is stunning
Nice dose, no surprises- what you want in a stay. Website is accurate reflection. Kitchen has everything you want for food prep. Glassware for every drink. Thanks to a great stay.
Such a beautiful peaceful comfortable place and very close to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The neighborhood is also perfect for long walks and is closer to restaurants and gift shops.
House was great and well stocked with kitchen accessories. Nice touches with cookies and some bottled water on arrive. Kids love the house and yard. Very secluded yet close to the National Park
Loved this home! Besides the gorgeous scenery and peaceful, secluded setting in a beautiful tropical garden, you must appreciate the owner's taste and attention to detail. The carved doors and furniture pieces are gorgeous. The home is full of charm and character. Very spacious and cozy space. Plenty of clean linens and beach towels. There was no funky smell, contrary to some reviews. Thank you for making our time in the Volcano so comfortable and memorable. Would definitely rent it again.
The house is lovely. Very nicely furnished and comfortable. Loved the fireplace and back porch. It has everything you need. The location is quiet - the only noise was from birds chirping and the feral pigs who appeared in the back yard. Very close to the National Park. We loved it and would come again.
Convenient for volcano hiking. Beautiful home and environment. Just remember to pack sweatshirts.
