Gorgeous property.
We stayed 5 nights, the home was lovely, had everything we needed plus more. Great communication with the owner. Good location for exploring the whole island. Thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the verandah enjoying the breeze, view and sounds around us.

Relaxing retreat away from the crowds
We had a relaxing time away from crowds of thousands purists at this home. There is a nice shopping area a few miles away and Hilo is a 30 minute drive with the big city feel. This home was situated between the volcanoes and the waterfalls with some nice swimming places in Hilo. Lovely out of the touristy way, vacation. Feel like an islander.

A convenient location for our stay on the Big Island, the new shopping area was excellent for groceries if we decided to cook at the house and the location to Volcano National Park was awesome. The house was well stocked with everything that we needed and the communication from the owner was second to none as he checked in almost daily to make sure that we were satisfied with everything. We would stay again if we ever visit Hawaii's Big Island. Thank you!

Very comfortable property with a great yard!
We enjoyed a wonderful stay...particularly the rear deck where we had our meals and utilized the provided gas grill as well as enjoyng our morning coffee surrounded by wildlife. The property is an older one and has many pluses and amenites, however, it could benefit from some updating. It is well located, easy to explore Pahoa from this base. Thank you for sharing your home .

Vow renewal and Second Honeymoon
I’m finally getting around to writing this review. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home had everything to meet our needs for a honeymoon and vow renewal. We had a little kitten that visited us each day, chickens that woke us each morning, and even a few visits from wild boars. The house is dated and could use some deep cleaning as it had a weird smell for the duration of our stay. The hosts were very responsive, and we loved being in Pahoa, away from all of the tourist. We were able to drive around the island every day. There is a beautiful park with spectacular cliffs and photo opportunities a short walk away. Definitely take advantage of it. Thanks for great memories.

Grandma’s well worn 1980’s house
We arrived to find the house closed up and very warm, hot actually. Outdated, worn out countertops with gunk around the old sink. No dishwasher and BIG roaches in the silverware drawer. All of it just felt like going to grandmas house… a year after she went to a home. It was 8pm and 72 outside, 90 inside. No A/C in the 3 bedrooms, stifling to others before us apparently , floor and window fans provided minimal relief. All of the home feels old. All that being said, we spent most of time at the house on the lovely back porch. The new, clean grill was used daily. Proximity to Volcanos National Park is a 30 minute drive, the back yard is lovely, but adjoins another home that cancels out its privacy due to its location deeper on its lot.

Thisvwas a perfect get away for us. Private enough for us to feel away from the city and close enough that we coukd get everything we needed. The sounds of nature at night wisked us away from our mainland stresses by the very first night.

Nice Getaway Spot
We found the property to be a good base for exploring the east side of the island (Hilo, volcano national park, etc) property has everything we needed for a nice stay. Be sure to go to the property before you go shopping as there is a variety of dry goods, bug spray, toiletries, snorkeling gear and such that you may not need to purchase. Robert was attentive as a host, checking in to make sure we had everything and that we had no issues. Thanks for a great holiday stay.
