Beautiful Property

We stayed for 3 nights. We were in Hilo for our daughter's graduation. The property is beautiful and the house is amazing. Fully stocked with everything you need. The beds were so comfortable and with the sounds of nature we all slept amazing. The owners were sweet and helpful. The pool was great, we didn't have a chance to use due to all the rain that hit the island. Would love to go back!

The house, grounds, and heated pool surpassed all expectations. My family of 4 adults and 2 children had a wonderful stay. The location was perfect for sightseeing and coming back to relax in the pool or patio. The kitchen had everything we needed. We would definitely book again.

Great House and Pool

Had a great time staying at this house! Was very clean and organized, pool was warm and clean, and I would happily stay there again. The one area for improvement would be the gardening / grounds keeping. I'd encourage the hosts to talk with the gardeners about cleaning up the gate area to the ocean (it's over grown) and the weeds around the hot tub extension. But both very minor on a scale of things.

Amazing Property

We loved everything about our stay at this property. It was easy to book, the owners were great to deal with, they responded to every question quickly, the property was beautiful, the pool was important to us and did not disappoint, the birds in the morning and the frogs at night were fantastic to listen to, and the house fit all of us (7) comfortably. Loved our stay, would highly recommend.

Amazing vacation

The property is beautiful, we cook most of our meals and the kitchen is work friendly. We spent a lot of time on the patio playing cards and what a view, we could see whales breaching and patio being covered was very comfortable. We are returning next year for another stay!

Something for everyone

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The ocean, the pool, fire pit, large lounge spaces inside and outside, massage room, full kitchen, shampoo/conditioner/soap dispenser, instant hot water, large kitchen counter, fast internet…it was everything and more. That part of hawaii is known for having lots of fireants and we didn’t see any. That was a huge relief. We would definitely book again!

Relaxing Getaway

We celebrated Labor Day weekend with family and friends on the Big Island. This rental fit all our needs and then some. From the relaxing views of the ocean and beautiful landscape to the pool, bbq grill and fire pit. What could you ask for? A jacuzzi? We can't wait to stay here again.

Best Vacation Home Ever!

We stayed at this beautiful house for a week. The pictures didn’t do it justice. From the beautiful ocean views to the frogs chirping at night, we loved every minute. I think we turned the TV on once and spent most of our time on the lanai. The kitchen was more than well-stocked and there were plenty of towels and outdoor furniture. And did I mention the pool? The home is in a gated community and felt very private. It was fun walking the property and seeing the different fruit trees and flowers. The stay was truly an opportunity to unwind and unplug. The property manager/owner was super responsive throughout the booking process and stay. We are already planning our next trip.was super responsive

Wonderful home on the Honomu coast! My family thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Brief warm rain showers each day, short walk down to bluff to look at the ocean and watch the sun rise. Saltwater pool, great family room, dining table seats 8 comfortably. 8 miles north of Hilo. Snorkeling at Richardson bay, Loved hiking at Volcano National park.

Amazing Home on the Coast

We were absolutely blown away by this house. If I could I'd just move in and stay. Beautiful property and home with an amazing view and access to the coast. Juliet did a wonderful job communicating and sharing information! This house has an amazing coastline with direct access but don't expect a beach. We knew what to expect and we were so happy. Everything was clean, organized, and well stocked. Our family loved the pool and the entire property. Thank you so much for making this property available.

Can't wait to come back!

I can't say enough great things about this place and Juliet as a host. Communication was on point, the pool was amazing and comfortably heated for the winter, the property and landscape was beautiful, kitchen and house had everything we needed to cook, swim, sleep, and bathe. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer. We struggled to find the house with Google Maps but Waze got us there with no issues. Also keep in mind there's no AC and the windows were kept open (with screens) but we were comfortable for the most part and didn't have any issues with bugs or insects. The house is about 22 minutes from Hilo (9 min drive to the main road and another 13 mins to Hilo city center). My family of 4 stayed for 4 nights and when we left, the kids talked about how much they missed the house and didn't want to leave.

Remarkable property

Expensive, but worth it. We enjoyed every minute, and it was so incredible to come home to a little slice of paradise every afternoon after excursions. An acreage abutting the ocean seemed almost too good to be true (and to be fair, there are trade offs here). House is large with 3 full bedrooms and an upstairs area with a pull out couch. Beds were very comfortable, plenty of towels, kitchen reasonably stocked. Grill out on the lanai was perfect (we spent most of our time there). Could not get my younger daughter out of the pool ;) No property is perfect (although this came pretty close for us). It's a bit out of town (20 minutes is pretty accurate), Hilo side is of course a bit wet at times (but makes for a lush surrounding). We loved this part. Biggest trade off for us, was the lack of AC (which we knew about coming in). In spring, less of an issue, but for full sunny days the upstairs especially could get warm and then cooling things off could take a bit. You need to leave all windows that you can, open (some screens have small holes so we closed those). Plenty of sliding doors. My wife, called this luxury camping in a 3000 square foot house, and she's not far wrong. You get a great exposure to nature. In the summer, this may or may not be a bigger issue with the heat. We managed fine in March. Overall strong recommend.
