This house is very well stocked, the kitchen has everything you need and more. The listing mentions split AC units in the bedrooms but there is also an additional unit in the common area so the entire house is very comfortable. The screened in lanai is a great place for breakfast.

We stayed here because it is close to family and are so glad we did! Very well equipped and comfortable home in a quiet setting. The kitchen is one of the best equipped ones we’ve ever had. Not only are the cooking pots and pans of high quality, but there were lots of condiments and ingredients available too. The furniture is of a nice quality and the house was impeccably clean.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this great house. The kitchen was huge and filled with everything you could need. The beds were comfortable and the house was immaculate. We loved sitting out on the lanai and listening to the coqui frogs. The gardens are outstanding! We walked around multiple times and saw so many different flowers and varieties of plants. The orchids were gorgeous. We did not want to leave this beautiful place! Highly recommend.

We loved the week we spent here. It was a bit out of the way from some activities on the island, but they call it The Big Island for a reason. We really value our privacy when traveling and this property delivered. We didn’t even realize when booking that it was on the Botanical Garden which was awesome as we got to enjoy exploring the gardens and decided to do the zip line. The home has everything you need, comfortable beds, a well equipped kitchen, and lots of space. We especially enjoyed evenings eating dinner in the cool of the night on the lanai. A lot of rentals on the island don’t have AC, so huge feature there. The only disappointment was initial cleanliness. There was dust buildup on all the light switches - a small detail that tells a lot about the care taken during the cleaning process. There was also a damp stanky towel that had been left in the washer for Probably a week. It took a while for the smell to come out of the machine. That being said, the property management staff were very responsive and took care of things quickly including fixing a shower that wasn’t draining. We’d definitely come back even with the issues due to staff responsiveness, the beauty of the property, and the privacy and amenities.

Home near Hilo: peaceful, comfortable, well-maintained, very clean, and conveniently close to town. The house is equipped with all the desired comforts. The lanai was our favorite spot to enjoy morning coffee. Our stay was delightful. Highly recommended!

We had a quite peaceful stay at the Garden Home at Botanical World Adventures.
We enjoyed walking around the property looking at the different varieties of plants. We found some fruit on the ground that we were able to enjoy.
We loved the massive well stocked kitchen. It was a great place to kick back relax and do nothing. The property had the at home feeling we all love to experience on our vacations.
The property was far enough from Hilo to hide from the world, and close enough to take advantage of what the city has to offer.
Be sure to enjoy what the area has to offer.

Our family of 4 (2 adult kids) enjoyed the spacious house and yard. The kitchen and house was fully equipped with everything we needed and more. We even picked tangerines and used the electric juicer. The orchids and foliage surrounding the property was absolutely beautiful. Definitely would recommend staying here. This was the best staycation (from Oahu) and will book again in the future!!

Perfection sums up this beautiful, comfortable and exceptionally clean home. The photos don’t do the interior or exterior justice. A large and well appointed kitchen with every thing one could ever imagine to prepare meals, including basics & spices for your use. Dinning room is spacious but meals, morning coffee or an evening glass of wine on the screened Lani quick became our favorite! Bedrooms & bathrooms were large, clean & we slept so good every night of our stay. We also appreciated the large laundry with new washer & dryer. This home is surrounded by beauty and so many species of flowers & trees, the fruit trees are abundant.
Communications for directions to this property and entry into this home were clear and easy to follow. Access to the gardens of Botanical World Adventures was a bonus and we highly recommend taking time to participate in the activities offered. Multiple times we walked the property both of the home & across the street and always saw new flowers, trees, critters. We throughly enjoyed the zip line adventure, it was certainly a highlight for us & the staff at BWA were professional & fun. Icing on the cake to our stay.
We hope to return one day & once again stay in this lively Garden Hime, we have told so many others about this property already and highly recommend staying here to enjoy the Big Island, a perfect Home Base to explore from!
