You can see sights of verdant splendor from this home which sits on fifteen acres that borders a stream. This idyllic setting and the comfort of this home gives your spirit a lift. You 'get away from it all feel'.

This is a one of a kind place to get away.

What a great location to get away from it all! We loved feeling like we were in the clouds when the rain set in. We loved the sound of the distant waterfall and stream and our little granddaughter even learned to love the sounds of the croakie frogs at night. Highly recommend this little slice of rural Hawaii.

This was a relaxing place to stay. Great location to get away from the busy city. Lots of space for 4 adults and the beds were very comfortable. The only complaint we have is that cats are roaming the property and like to crawl on vehicle and sleep on it for warmth. We had a rental car and they scratch the paint in several places on the hood. Just pop the hood of the vehicle and that will solve the issue.

We were visiting Hilo for my dad's 80th Birthday celebration and took a mini staycation. While the location is farther out of Hilo than we normally stay, Honomu was perfect. The view was absolutely amazing! The home was nice and clean and more than enough space for the three of us. Gazing up at the stars at night in the jacuzzi was the highlight of our stay. Mahalo for sharing your home with us.

This house was the perfect location for us. We were visiting the Big Island to connect with various family which was a wonderful and busy time. Coming back to this house up in the windward hills provided the perfect contrast to our busy times. The views are beautiful, daytime, morning sunrises, evening sunsets, rain coming in over the ocean, rainbows, night skies filled with stars, more beauty than one could hope for. The 3 bedrooms are very comfortable; the house is furnished quite nicely with Hawaii style decor. Loved it. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes, cooking utensils, even condiments. Hot tub on the porch with view to the open skies. What is not to love. I would come back to this location in a heart beat.

Have stayed there 3 times. It’s way off the highway and quiet, except for the coqui frogs…

When you visit understand this is not the Ritz but you’re there to be with nature. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to world and this is the most peaceful place I’ve ever been. The hosts interacted with us when needed and our kids loved the donkeys and waterfall. The stars and sounds at night are like nothing we’ve ever experienced. Thank you to the host and owners for sharing your piece of heaven.

Awesome house and location! The property was exactly as described. Krystle and Alec were great hosts: helpful, but not intrusive. It's ultra-quiet and peaceful, but only 20 minutes from Hilo.
This was our first (and likely only) trip to Hawaii. A family trip celebrating graduations/ anniversary/ birthdays/ Christmas, etc.
We visited Akaka Falls, the Botanical Garden, Hilo, Kona, Puna, the Southernmost Point, VNP, Mauna Kea, Waimea, and other points. The house was a welcome base to come home to at night.
Relaxing in the hot tub, swimming at their own private waterfall (the path isn't for the faint of heart) and enjoying the animals helped make the trip complete.
We looked at many other potential properties when deciding where to stay. After a week of exploring the Big Island, I was happy to say we made the perfect choice. Thank you for a amazing week!

We really enjoyed staying here while in Hilo/Honamu. It's a lovely, comfortable unit with an outstanding view! Quite area, no close neighbors. The caretakers were helpful, but not intrusive and were off site most of the time. We would happily come back again!
