House was perfect for our needs. Beautiful property. It is 20 mins to get to Hilo but we didn’t mind. Hosts were quick to respond and had all the amenities we needed for our large family.
The house and pickleball courts were awesome. The house is large and easily fit our group of 14 (of course you have to be willing to share beds and rooms, but very comfortable). The pickleball courts are nice and well maintained. The only problem with the courts is that some of the lights are either out or flickering. We tried using the lights the first night, but it was a little distracting so we just played until evening. The only issue we had with the house was that the water pressure is a low. We spaced out taking showers and that helped a little. Oh and the coqui frogs are loud, so bring noise cancelling headphones if they bother you! Other than that, the stay was super fun and Loretta was very responsive (we had an issue with the WiFi, but she addressed it right away). If you have a large pickleball playing group, you'll have a great time here!
The kitchen had everything you needed but the oven did not work. Very quiet and peaceful. We had fun with the pickleball court.
Plenty of space. Very clean and neat. This is our second time staying this year. Host is very attentive and communicates wishes and needs quickly.
We needed a large property because we were a crew of 12. The place accommodated us very well. We loved the location and the house was great. Working with the host was very easy to do
There were 11 of us. There were plenty of beds and bathrooms. When the pickleball courts are finished it will be nice. It is about 30 minutes to Hilo and the property is quite remote.
Great host. Easy access. Beautiful surroundings off the beaten path! Would stay again.

Travelled with a group of 3 adults, 1 toddler age 1, and 8 teens ages 14-16 for an inter-island sports/school event. House accomdated all of us well from the kitchen space, bathing and toilets to sleeping our arrangements. Space was well over accomadating for 12 people. We seperated the boys and girls by floors with chaperones on each level. We were able to wash clothes (laundry soap and dryer sheets were available). Shampoo, conditioner and body wash was also available in bathrooms. All dishes and utensils provided. All around great stay. We were even able to catch a slight earthquake while in the house-as the Big Island has them once in awhile. We felt safe in the house during that time. Yard is expansive. Plenty of room for the kids to play volleyball in the yard during the day, play games around the table upstairs in the evening, and seating for eating breakfast/lunch and dinner was more than we needed.
Host had clear communication and the property is gated upon entry. We couldnt have asked for a better location. 5 star house, host and accomodations.
This is a great place to stay with a large family near Volcano National Park. I loved all the space for family dining.
