Cute, well-appointed, just enough distance from HVNP to avoid the crowds at Volcano House in the evening. Great communicators, comfortable beds, beautiful outdoor space, and their friendly cat next door was a bonus for our kids who missed their pet.

Short Stay in Volcano

Was a nice enough place, if a bit cluttered, and a bit small for a family, but we booked last minute. Comms were good and check-in was easy enough. A good option for small groups looking to stay near the NP.

Lovely and quiet home

We had a wonderful time in Volcano Village. The house is beautiful and equipped with everything one might need. It’s hard to beat the location within minutes of the National Park. We enjoyed breakfast on the covered porch that allowed us to enjoy the gorgeous setting even on rainy mornings.

Truly a Hau'oli (Happy) Place

Absolutely loved this house. Perfect for our anniversary staycation in Volcano. From the moment we stepped into the house we felt comfortable. It has a full kitchen, huge comfortable lanai looking out at the beautiful landscaped yard and nice living room area with the fire place. The bed was comfortable with the heated mattress, the bathroom was clean an stocked with towels. It was a quick drive to the Volcano National Park and an easy drive to Hilo. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Stay Near Volcanoes NP

A great unit super convenient to Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. Less than 10 min. from the park so when we heard the volcano was erupting we could head over quickly. Also, not a bad drive to Hilo area attractions. The place was set up great and had everything we needed. Loved having meals out on the lanai, listening to the frogs and other rainforest critters. The owners were super responsive when we had one small issue. The cats welcoming us home after our daily adventures kept us from getting to homesick for our pets. We will highly recommend to friends and also colleagues that visit the area regularly working on wildlife conservation projects.

A quiet paradise

My husband and I stayed for a few nights and the property was so peaceful! We loved relaxing here and all the amenities were great. Our flight was delayed upon arrival and the hosts were very understanding and flexible about the check in process. We will be staying again!

Great place!

Very cute place, full of tiki stuff. Large backyard area, beautifully landscaped. Well supplied kitchen. It gets COLD in Volcano at night. This place has a heater in the bedroom, one in the bathroom, and one in the living room plus a fireplace. We were always comfortable, would definitely stay here again.

The little tiki cottage was fantastic! Can’t say enough about the location (super close to Volcanoes Nat’l Park entrance), the backyard, and the character of the house. A perfect quiet place to serve as basecamp for our big island adventure. Worked great for our family of 4 but would be really good for a couple or solo traveler as well. Hosts are super communicative and welcoming. Thank you so much! Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing Experience

Hau’oli place is incredible! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and didn’t want to leave. The property is obviously well cared for. The decorations are fun and add to the experience. (Our daughter, age 8, loved the tiki doing the shakas.) The location is so close to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park that it is convenient to come and go as you please and enjoy the whole experience.

Hau’oli Place was a real gem in a calm and quiet environment, which was just what I wanted in a place to stay. The cottage was so clean, much cleaner than the Marriott we stayed in the night before, and so well outfitted - everything was there that you could think of. The bed was very comfortable, the jacuzzi tub was a treat and the lanai was a place I could hang out all day enjoying the rainforest landscaping. I only wish we had more time there! If you are coming to Hawaii to see the volcano area, you can’t do better than this place!

Absolutely Perfect

This bungalow is perfection. It is super clean and very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and the fire place in the living room came in handy on chilly nights. The house has everything you need but the stand out feature is the outdoor space. The porch was a great place to relax after a day of hiking, and is accessible from the living room and the bedroom. The yard has a fire pit (which we did not use) but used the seating to lounge in the sun. The location is just 5 minutes from Volcanos National Park. Check-in and Check-out was a breeze. We appreciated having our own covered car park at the foot of the front door which made loading/unloading the car super easy. This place will not disappoint. It is absolutely excellent and I highly recommend!!

A+ Volcano Retreat

We stayed at 5 vacation rentals on our recent trip to HI and this place was by far our favorite. The location is very peaceful and relaxing. We absolutely loved hanging out on the porch and listening to the rain and the wildlife. This home has some very unique decorations and well thought out amenities that made our stay in Volcano extra special. Would love to return again. Highly recommend.

Peaceful retreat in Volcano

We stayed just one night and wished it could be longer. The cottage is nestled in a quiet area just minutes from the National Park. The place is cozy, intensely furnished, and clean. I most enjoyed sipping a glass of provided wine on the extensive veranda overlooking the jungle-like property. Our only question was the inability to find a pot holder or oven mitt (and we didn't feel like bothering the owners over something that trivial). We would stay again.

Tranquil oasis for rest

Wow! This rental is beautiful! The lush garden looks so inviting. We had such a lovely visit to the area, even with the crazy rain-hello Kona low. Owner’s answered questions or needs quickly. I’m a bed snob- mattress excellent, sheets comforting not scratchy, and a soft fuzzy blanket made for heavenly sleep. What we needed was available. The only thing that would have made it 10 star was washer dryer access and a listing of basic tv stations. Thanks for offering this rental

Clean, comfortable and well equipped

This spot is better in person than the pictures represent. It's very clean and comfortable. The grounds are beautiful and the lanai is very private. Well stocked with cookware, utensils and basic supplies for people who plan on cooking. Being the first leg of our trip, the wine and goodies were a nice welcome upon our arrival :). The guidebook and reading material helped us plan our time in Volcano and surrounding areas with great suggestions. The location was perfect if you plan on visiting the park and a short drive to Hilo. As suggested, we stocked up at the grocery stores beforehand as there isn't much in Volcano grocery-wise. We would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to anyone interested in staying in this area.

Another Comfy Stay at Hau oli Place

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this cute cottage. Again, we found it to be clean and well set up for our 3-nite stay during the Christmas Holidays. As before, there were thoughtful details that we appreciated such as extra throws for warmth on chilly nights, an easy to operate gas fireplace, a comfy bed with heated mattress pad, etc. White, fluffy towels were provided and the bathroom still smelled freshly cleaned when we arrived. We also enjoy the nicely positioned lanai with table, chairs and BBQ grill. The yard behind the cottage is lovely and the owner is planting bamboo along another boundary that was recently buldozed. We had a small struggle with figuring out the TV and cable situation, but the manager, Mark, quickly responded with assistance. All in all, a wonderful holiday get away for us. Mahalo!

So FREAKING adorable!

We had given up on VRBO - all the places we have stayed are dingy and old and not clean. This absolutely stunning home is perfection. It was so clean, every little deatil was so incredibly thoughtful from the heated mattress, to the extra blankets, to the carport, the outside firepit (on immaculately groomed landscaping), all the kitchen equipment.... I could go on. Every time we turned around, we discovered another sweet little thought. We arrived in the late evening and all the lights were turned on inside so it was so inviting to come inside. There were thoughtful little itineraries, things to do, books to read..... And the bed was so so comfy! THANK YOU! We will probably never stay at another VRBO as you have spoiled us too much!

Lovely house!

The house is lovely, though a bit tricky to find. We arrived after dark - missed flight and delays - and the streets in Volcano have no lights. Driving in the pitch black can make finding the property tricky despite having being sent directions by the host.Lucretia & Mark are amazing. I fell sick with the flu wile staying and they gave me info on an urgent care place (East Hawaii Health Clinic at Keaau - 30 minute drive from Volcano) that helped put me on the mend over the weekend. I would recommend staying here if visiting Volcano. The house is gorgeous and besides my flu, the family had an enjoyable (and rest imposed) stay. I would stay again.Tips - Avoid Ohelo Cafe - they let a couple of Caucasian males who arrived after us at 6:35PM dine-in while declining our family of 4 who had arrived at 6:30PM. We tried calling ahead around 4:30PM to reserve/book and no calls were answered. We got some take-away as nothing else was open and the alternative was to go hungry.Eagle's Lighthouse Cafe makes great sandwiches and cinnamon rolls! We bought our lunches here, and dinners from Thai Thai Bistro & Bar.

Extra Special Hale

My husband and I stayed here 3 nites to celebrate our anniversary and Christmas. We have rented a number of vacation homes in the area, many of which were special, but this one is now one of our favorites. Here are some reasons why: 1) It truly lived up to it's Happy Tiki moniker. If you loved the pictures on the website, you will love the decor & furnishings in this hale! 2) It was so well appointed - from the pots and pans in the kitchen to the fluffy white towels in the bathroom. 3) There were strategically placed informational notes about how to work things that were short and to the point. 4) The lanai table was perfectly positioned and quite comfortable for breakfast, lunch or dinner. 5) The grounds were well maintained and large enough to wander around in to spot native birds and flora. 6) The check in time was an hour earlier than most and check out an hour later (no rush to get up and get out ASAP) 7) The hosts were very easy to work with and provided great info on the latest happenings and eateries in the area. To sum up - we had a thoroughly comfortable and enjoyable experience which we appreciated greatly! We would definitely return if/when we had the chance!
