We've stayed at this Big Island gem twice now & already dream of returning! The property itself is a paradise for families, with plenty of space to spread out and relax. While the pool (a major highlight!) could have been cleaner upon arrival, it didn't dampen our overall enjoyment. We hope to see continued improvement on this aspect for future stays.

Our stay was amazing! We were there a week and for 3 of the days we didn't leave the property. The kids and adults all enjoyed the pool, slide, and jacuzzi with a wonderful lounging area that was shaded all day long for those of us with sun sensitivity. The kitchen was huge with TONS of dishes, silver, and cooking utensils. We cooked for nine every night. We all ate at the two tables moved together, and enjoyed the attached lanai with plenty of seating. The old Hawaii atmosphere, the spaciousness, the many lounging areas, the huge private yard and the complete privacy and quiet were wonderful. We had one minor issue that was resolved immediately as soon as we contacted Anthony. Our only real concern was the Garden room. It is detached from the house with a cabana 1/2 bath several feet away. The bath was unusable at times as the entire cabana was soaked during and after any rain. A dry bathroom was 75 steps away in the main house, most of the way walking in the rain. The room is also accessible from the street and is not lockable from the outside. With nine of us, our adult daughter ended up sharing a bedroom with her pre-teen nephews as we considered the Garden bedroom unusable. If you don't need the Garden bedroom, this place is absolutely amazing. We can't imagine finding a better house if we only needed four bedrooms or were willing to spring for the master suite. Thank you, Anthony!

House was very nice. Many different places to hang out. Pool was great for the kids! Hosts were very responsive. It is more unique than other places but in a good way! Would stay again.

The overall property was a good option for our large group with lots of space and privacy. Loved the well stocked kitchen. The pool, hot tub and water slide were awesome. We gave this a 5 star based on the above and also that Anthony was very responsive and accommodating, however the property does need some TLC as well as some updated photos and descriptions of some of the spaces. The rooms as described were hard to figure out once we were at the property including some which were actually in the garage and not the main house. Small things like signage for which light switches controlled the fans, AC units and outdoor lighting, or a map would be helpful for future guests. The grounds are spacious and beautiful however very overgrown and in need of some love. We couldn't locate any fruit trees other than one that was hard to get to due to overgrowth. The rock bridge is the access point to the pool and sitting area however the rocky surface was challenging for some younger and older family member. Overall we would stay here again.

This is a good house for 6, possibly 8 people. We found three bedrooms and two baths and a half-bath; a big yard for picking fruit and tossing a ball around; an airy well-stocked, open-plan kitchen, dining area and lanai; a comfortable upper deck with view; a fun pool and hot tub; a local, old Hawaii ambiance throughout. Nice.
We felt, however, that the listing misrepresented the other sleeping areas or we should have read the descriptions more carefully. For example, the garden room/cottage has no windows/ventilation, the bunk bed was shaky and unusable, and its “cabana half bathroom” really was a pool changing room. Those staying in the cottage had to make a long trek into the house to find a more private bathroom. The blue room felt like you were sleeping in the garage, and the entry leisure area was the garage.
The house is not child-proof (open bag of ant poison, etc.). The blue outdoor picnic tables were broken and splintered. The sand pool was murky. The photos for the listing should be updated (landscaping has grown, rooms are worn).
We would have appreciated having a welcome tour to better understand the layout of the house and the pool instructions. We felt maintenance had been neglected before our visit, and our group of ten was disappointed with some aspects of an otherwise lovely and fun Hawaiian house.

We loved staying here. Plenty of room for everyone, quiet neighborhood, close to waterfalls, ocean, scenic drive and Hilo. The water slide was awesome! The outdoor space was great, kitchen was spacious.

This was a great place to stay. Lots of room for all 10 of us! The house was well stocked and the pool was great.
We picked oranges and star fruit from yard which were delicious!
I would recommend folks staying here if you have a large group!

The home was perfect for our three generations gathering; spacious, comfortable and well equipped in a gorgeous setting. The pool and surroundings felt like our own private resort. We loved the proximity to the many sites and wonders found on the east side of the Big Island.

The listed price is for 2 people only! Take this into consideration if you are a larger group, as the actual cost will be more than double or triple the nightly rate that is listed. The reality is that this is a 3 bedroom home (of which you have access to two, unless you pay more). The available “bedrooms” are ADUs, one of which is a garage.
When I messaged the host to confirm the number of guests, I was asked to pay more than double what I already had and he unscrupulously suggested that I pay the extra amount directly to his bank. These were the first two red flags from this host.
There is no cell service here and the Internet is unreliable (once due to a power outage). There was a plumbing problem that appeared to be a known issue to the host, and instead of taking care of this, I was provided a phone number to a plumber.
In lieu of paying double what I already had, we chose to book different accommodations for the rest of our group. Other than using this location as a place for my grandmother and I to sleep, my family spent our vacation at the other accommodation. Despite our very minimal use, the host fabricated a damage claim and attempted to withhold the security deposit. We are responsible renters and this is the first time anything like this has ever happened to any of us. Luckily VRBO stepped in and requested evidence of the damage, after which the host returned the deposit in full. If you choose to stay here, purchase renter's insurance!

I do not even know where to begin to share about what a special gem this property is!! Every need we had was met and it was luxurious enough to make you feel like you were at a private resort but yet comfortable enough to make you feel at home. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Just bring your own coffee and you can sit for hours in the AM at the pool or on the deck watching the sunrise. And let’s talk about the pool area- young and old, alike, enjoyed it all- the pool, slide and hot tub!! The cabana area was the perfect shaded spot for those who mind the sun but want to be part of the action. The property is a tropical, lush paradise. While you were in a small neighborhood, you had all the privacy in the world. I cannot say anything negative because this is a home you do not want to overlook! Perfect for couples, small families and large families. Great location for driving to Hilo (only about 20 min) and being our home base for exploring the central and southern parts of the island. We would most definitely stay here again!!
