Location was awesome, we only were there 1 night. Would stay there again, especially if we were there longer. Nice selection of movies. Nice layout. Only negative was, I may not have read description correctly, 2 double beds and one larger. Beds were soft. Ceiling fan was out of balance and was noisy. Heater and fans were supplied. Coffee selection was awesome.

This property is awesome. Cleanliness is great. The kitchen is very well equipped with two coffee options (Keurig and a French press), and air fryer, and multiple utensils, dishes, etc. The grounds are beautiful. The location is awesome--six minutes driving time to the visitor center. However, for such a level of property (and the price), the mattresses really need to be switched out. They are so soft that they form around your body, and you cave in. Otherwise, the property is flawless--well equipped and really cute decor.

This place was so adorable. We are a family of 6 and it fit us perfectly. We loved the style and feel of the place. The house was exactly as described and stocked with everything you needed for your stay. Check in and check out was easy - my favorite part is that we didn’t have to strip our beds! The fireplace was a warm way to spend the slightly chilly mornings. Highly recommend this place! It was minutes from Hawaii Volcanos National Park.

Loved this property and location. Some minor complaints by previous guests were ridiculous. Appreciated the laundry machines and detergent. All four of us enjoyed the amenities and conveniences. No one wanted to leave! We hope to return.

We spent 5 nights and were happy to have three bedrooms. The Jungalow is even nicer in person than in the online pictures. Great kitchen and living area. Great location so close to national park. I did find the Q bed too soft for my taste but one double was firm enough for me.

We drove to the property around 6 PM. It was pouring cats and dogs, Goggle map did a good job of directing us to the property. It was pitch dark as we walked towards the door. (Flashlight would help or use your cell phone.) With constant rain everything around is bit slippery but that is to be expected.Rooms were well furnished and gas heater kept us warm. It can comfortably house six adults. Pantry had some basic groceries, but you should shop at Walmart/Foodland before you reach the house.You sleep to the pitter-patter sound of the rainfalls and wake up to the playful yapping of the family of hens. (Wish I we could have that experience daily!) We left at 6:30 AM to hike at Kīlauea Iki & Crater Rim Trail( 15 minutes drive from the house) It was a family friendly hike for most part. It was a 3 hours hike. I recommend carry hiking trails if you are not so athletic and also doing it counter clockwise. First hour is through a rain forest. Very family friendly. Young children can do it. There after for about half mile section is uneven. After that it is 45 minute walk on the crater. Finally you need to climb up the rainforest for about 30 minutes.We were back at the house by 10:30. Finished lunch and went for the crater rim drive at 1 PM. Returned at 6 PM and relaxed.Best way to to enjoy the volcano national park is to stay close to it and leave early in the morning. It does get bit too crowded later in the day. Check out mauna loa if time permits.

Really a great change from the Kona beach experience. The Jungalow is really comfortable and well equipped. My family and I really felt at home, and loved the cool, misty mornings with the chickens and pheasants in the front yard adding a comical touch to morning coffee.
I'm sorry we didn't stay a few extra days just to hang around the property. The neighborhood is great, my teenager is trying to get me to move here!

We spent 3 nights at The Jungalow and loved everything about it, minus the uncomfortable beds. The home was nicely renovated, and we had every comfort available. We appreciated the fireplace for the chilly mornings. Be sure to check out the great book selection about the island! The location was excellent for exploring the National Park, although somewhat remote. If you're coming from Hilo, definitely hit up Foodland for supplies before you come up. We had a rooster and hens visit us daily in the morning and a couple pheasant showed up too. Nightly bird song. Beautiful property and landscaping.

Quiet neighborhood with a rainforest like atmosphere. Covered outside area to sit and enjoy coffee in the morning and libations in the evening after a grand hike around the rim. The beds were soft. The gas fireplace was awesome on a rainy evening after dinner. This place was perfect for our stay and we would love to stay here again given the opportunity.

The Jungalow is lovely and situated in a neighborhood with lots of greenery incl. palms, ferns, flowers and woodland critters like frogs, birds, visiting chickens. It was nice to get away from city lights and sounds - we slept great! The location is good for various day trips. We received directions and other info prior to our arrival, and the property manager was easy to contact for questions re how to recycle items, and we suggested securing the edges of the area rugs for better safety. I would recommend the Jungalow to friends.

Excellent choice for visiting the national park. All the amenities you need. We use VRBOs typically as a place for a day off and to do laundry.. Restaurants in the area are limited, but still a few to choose from. The owner is easy to work with. They do not require a lot of unreasonable check out requirements; they recognize that you are on vacation not cleaning up youth own house

We were surprised that water pressure was greatly compromised off and on throughout this stay . Our warm shower would slow to a trickle, and same in the kitchen. We understand using a catchment and pumps to supply water to a home can be tricky in "remote " Hawaii. A heads -up would have made us feel better.
Though it may be nice to have some foods left by previous guests such as ketchup, etc, generally believe the fridge should be cleaned out after each guest. There was outdated cream, for example, eggs, butter- cannot be sure if safe to eat-best to clean out. Same with pantry-many half empty boxes of crackers.
Kitchen supply was running low-dish soap, for example.
Lastly would suggest that if manager wants to impress guests of cleanliness, bedding should be requested to be removed as guest exits.
