Beautiful, peaceful property. Sue is a fantastic host and explains everything you need to know. The property is away from hustle and bustle and pretty rural. You definitely need a car to get here.
Great location, beautifully landscaped, very private. Easy check-in process, friendly and welcoming hosts, nice open kitchen and living areas. Very clean and well maintained.
We had a great stay. Thank you for letting us use your house.
Clean home with nice lanai to relax on after a long day exploring. Some challenges (washer/dryer, light etc) due to remote location but we didn’t mind. The property next door is noisy with the chanting, yelling and drum amplifiers but settled down at about 11pm finally. Sue has said that’s been sold and will become a different type of resort.
What a special place! We enjoyed our stay so much and found the location to be very peaceful. Sue is an outstanding host, responsive, friendly and very helpful with answering questions and providing information. Each morning I walked to the nearby cafe for coffee, then across the street to the bench overlooking the ocean. My son and I enjoyed each having our own space and being able to make meals in the kitchen. The breeze throughout the house was wonderful and we spent most of our time there just reading and relaxing. But it would also be a good home base for outings such as nearby beaches, farmers market, and volcanoes NP. MacKenzie recreation area is very close and is a must see. Also on a clear night it is an excellent location for stargazing!
Stayed for 3 nights with my family. Was a great place, very clean and host was very friendly and helpful with local places to go. Would definitely stay here again.
Enjoyed our stay very much. The house is private and the garden was amazing.
It's obvious Sue and Chad put time and effort in making the house and grounds beautiful. The house was equipped with everything we needed to cook, and just relax and enjoy the surroundings. All you hear are the birds and crashing waves, no road sounds. I spent every possible minute outside. It was also a treat to visit with Sue, she knows a wealth of information on the area and is just plain fun! With any luck, we'll be back again!
Pure bliss and island vibes at Sue and Chad’s gorgeous home on three glorious and beautiful acres. We loved the gorgeous gardens, the friendly welcome, the beautiful night skies and comfortable well-appointed home.
Just what we were looking for after a few days on the west side of the island. Sue & Chad have an amazing gem of a property and the hard work they put in shows. Everything was labeled well and guidelines were simple and easy to follow. The area is more secluded than some other areas but we lived it and still found Vilcanoes NP and Hilo attractions easy to reach. Sue was a friendly host and made us feel welcome!
This place was great. Nice and quiet away from town and next to the ocean. At night its dark which is perfect for stars and the property is amazing. Thanks to the host for the tour of the area and the info behind the area.
A nice ocean view property where you can be yourself
I had such a peaceful and wonderful stay. I loved all the fresh air that blew freely throughout the home as well as all the natural light. I felt very safe as I was travelling as a single gal. The owners Chad and Sue were absolutely wonderful and brought me fresh oranges to juice! The home was very clean and comfortable. I didn’t even miss my bed! The bed was very comfortable. I am already planning my return. Being surrounded every day by beautiful nature gave me inner peace. If you’re looking to relax in a magical place, this is it!
Beautiful secluded property with lovely hosts.
The lush grounds are lovely and well maintained. The guest house was in perfect shape with many amenities provided. Sue was a great welcoming host and we really enjoyed talking to her.
Wonderful stay with very gracious hosts! Extremely clean home with comfortable beds and everything we needed! Sue and Chad are so wonderful, and we could not have enjoyed our stay more! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your piece of paradise!
This was the vacation we were hoping for. A little slice of heaven. Very private and peaceful. We would absolutely stay here again.
The house and property are absolutely beauti
The home was amazingly clean and had all you needed for cooking and comfort. Beautiful spot with a beautiful yard and fresh papaya, avocado, bananas, pineapple and more! The hosts were very passionate about making sure your stay was great!
This house is about 10 miles from Pāhoa, on a lovely secluded piece of land. We loved the peaceful setting. You really feel like you are away from it all, which you pretty much are. Sue and Chad live in a separate house on the same piece of land and are great hosts. Very helpful and responsive. Highly recommended if you want to see the non-touristy side of the Big Island.
The property and location is perfect for 2-4 people. The grounds are beautiful and the house was perfect. We enjoyed the area, beautiful ocean views just across from the driveway. The lava flows you pass driving in are amazing. Absolutely recommend.
We had an amazing stay, and our host Sue was spectacular! We used the property as our 'base" to go on adventures around the island. Within a little over an hours drive we visited Volcanoes National Park: thermal pools at Isaac Hale State Park; waterfalls, snorkeling, botanical gardens, and a lava tube near Hilo; and Kehana black sand beach which was just a few minutes away. The house os off the grid so you need to be mindful of energy consumption but they still have everything you need. We were asked to.compost and recycle and not use the washer/dryer after certain hours which was no problem at all. My kids loved seeing geckos in the house. You need to keep windows open to keep place cool but it was such a pleasant temperature at night- just be mindful that lights on can draw bugs. We acclimated to the more humid rainfirest aspects of the Puna area quickly. This place was its own botanical gardens- we truly loved staying there!
A serene escape nestled along the tropical Hawaii coast. This home offers a slice of paradise with its secluded three-acre expanse. Picture-perfect morning walks become a ritual, as the sun gently bathes the coastline accompanied by the soothing symphony of nature. The sound of frogs and birds creates a melodic backdrop, enveloping you in the tranquility of your surroundings. Random rain showers add a touch of whimsy to the experience, refreshing both the mind and spirit. This secluded haven is a sanctuary for those seeking solace amidst the beauty of nature, where every moment is a chance to unwind and reconnect with oneself.
This is a special, secluded property in a beautiful neighborhood across from the ocean. It really is a beautiful, unique property. There is some additional care that must be taken to stay due to its remote location (e.g., limiting power consumption), but those very minor concessions are absolutely worth it. It's absolutely gorgeous.
Peaceful, lovely, well maintained property. Location on quieter side of the island. We were very comfortable, and enjoyed meeting and talking to Sue and Chad.
The property has so many lovely trees and flowers. The house itself is quite large and roomy for 2 people, we each had our own room. Its a wonderful place to just chill out.
I would stay again in a heartbeat, and hope to return someday!
This home might actually be heaven on earth. It’s a nature lovers paradise! Chad and Sue are the kindest people and have created a beautiful place to stay. Being able to fall asleep listening to the coqui frogs and waves crashing was incredible. Home was very clean and extremely comfortable, we found ourselves constantly saying “wanna head back to the house?” because it was so peaceful there. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
Our family of 3 thoroughly enjoyed our brief 3 night visit at Kamani Grove. So much aloha is this spacious, comfortable & well appointed 2 story house. Chad & Sue, the most gracious hosts, have lovingly created for decades a botanical oasis filled with flora & fauna delights. Chad made sure there is super fast wifi (for those that need it). The walk down the ‘dnveway’ to the coast is delightful. The location is a short drive to many places of interest but also a bit remote, which was what we desired (lightening & star gazing was phenomenal). We got poke & groceries on our way there in Hilo & then went out to dinner in Pāhoa. Fresh squeezed tangelo & orange juice from their trees was so memorable - liquid sunshine! We hope to visit again soon & stay for longer.
Property is away from everybody. Botanical gardens-more flowers and plants than in a professional Botanical garden. House had lots of room, bathroom was huge with shower surface none slip. Windows wide open catching the breeze. Great place to call home base for touring the island or great for sitting around reading a book.
