The guest house was the perfect stay for us. It was private, spacious, fully equipped with all you could need and tastefully decorated. The grounds were beautiful and well manicured. We were able to enjoy our days out at the beach and then come back and enjoy a meal from the grill. Having a washer/dryer was another great addition.

What a lovely place to stay while the festival was going on! Orchid House is situated on a beautifully lush acre. Cottage is well stocked, comfortable and perfect for friends to share.
Mahalo!

Very nice place in a somewhat remote area, although there are neighbors. Small but comfortable house, excellent patio, and very beautiful yard, bordered by jungle. Feel asleep to the songs of the coqui frogs every night. Good market and shops in Pahoa, about 15 minutes drive. Hilo is close to 30 minutes away.
A problem with the water came up a the day before our stay, but Aki and Laura had it taken care of before we arrived, and communicated very well. Very happy with the way they handled the unexpected situation. Great hosts!

Highly recommended! This was a move for us, not a vacation, so, like most moves, it was quite stressful but Laura was always kind & patient & understanding of our situation.
Def made things SO much easier. And her home was so cute & cozy! Thank you so much!!!

Our experience was amazing from the first contact I had with the property. Aki & Laura made sure we had good instructions on getting to the property and access our guest house. Everything was clean and my granddaughters loved playing in the large yard and they had so many toys to keep them plenty busy.

Very clean,. Although, you must travel down LONG dusty road to get to location.
Warm, although they have fans. I was charged an additional $15 for my young daughter, although we all slept in the same bed. Beautiful landscaping and secure. As a local, I would not recommend booking this location on VRBO.
