The Kaumana forest is about 15 easy minutes from downtown Hilo and offers a cool and relaxed setting. The amenities are excellent, featuring a professional quality grill, first class Jacuzzi tub and two well-equipped kitchen areas, indoors and out. The waterfall provides a calming backdrop to a Zen-like retreat, and the outdoor shower is an added delight. Access to the Saddle Road is easy if you want to see the mountains or drive to Kona for the beaches. The hosts are very gracious and available for any questions. This "ohana" style guest house is highly recommended! ##### KAY T. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie R.

While touring the Island of Hawaii, we chose this property based on its fantastic location near key sites — and it completely exceeded our expectations.This was hands down the cleanest VRBO we’ve ever stayed at. Every detail was carefully thought out to maximize comfort and relaxation. After long days exploring and visiting the Hilo Farmers Market, the hot tub was the perfect place to unwind. The koi pond and beautifully designed backyard landscaping created such a peaceful atmosphere — we found new details to admire each day.The home strikes a perfect balance between classic Hawaiian cottage charm and modern luxury. From the soft-close microwave to the high-end fixtures, everything felt brand new and thoughtfully curated. The outdoor kitchen and gorgeous lighting made evenings extra fun, and the outdoor shower was one of the nicest we've ever used — better than many indoor showers!Thank you, Dana and Gregory, for a short but truly lovely stay. We hope to return again! ![Farmer's Market - Not to be missed if you like fresh fruit and veggies!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0d0e7152-c58c-4d44-b542-e7f5e550d85f-1745877598793.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Rainbow Falls was really close as was Boiling Pots, Kaumana Caves, Akaka Falls, etc. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/22abcf36-bdd8-4eb4-9d58-feee56e3ea6b-1745877598792.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/173c9261-0010-4553-8589-3577fbb94fe6-1745877599138.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Stephanie R.

The apartment was spectacular. The outdoor kitchen was amazing and very well equipped. There was an indoor and outdoor shower. The outdoor shower is perfect for washing off the salt from the beautiful Hilo beaches before jumping into a hot bubbling Jacuzzi. We were met by Gregory when we arrived who showed us how to use the lighting, fans, hot tub etc. Greg, Dana and Mom Claudette were lovely and Simon the Cat welcomed us often when we arrived from exploring. Great location with easy access to Hilo, Volcano National Park, beaches and waterfalls. Hilo is full of cute shops and restaurants but is away from the crowds of the Kona Coast. I would totally recommend this home for your travels and hope to come back here on our next trip to the Big Island! ##### Rachel R.

We were in love with the outdoor kitchen and the beautiful grounds of the property. It is an Ohana suite on the owners home but they were very courteous of our privacy and we barely knew they were there. The induction stovetop required me to read the instruction manual (provided). The outdoor shower was a surprise favorite of ours. The hot tub was inoperable for our stay and I believe that it went out the night before we arrived. The owners informed us when we arrived and tried to fix it while we were there but they did not have luck so we were unable to use the hot tub - which was the main reason we booked this property. We understand that these things happen but it was a disappointment to say the least. Aside from that little hiccup, we loved the quiet and gorgeous neighborhood , the frog songs at night and the tranquility of the location. ##### Jennifer M.
