Google maps sends you in the wrong direction. But easy to find once you find it. Just go down Maku’u and take a right on 12th and it’s right there in the right side. Property is very nicely appointed. Chickens and other gorgeous birds visited every day. The covered patio is great for morning coffee and evening wine.

He was even able to accommodate a slight date change for us. The house was very clean and you could tell they took pride in its appearance and upkeep. There were quite a few things they asked for guests to do to help keep it clean and bug free, like removing shoes before entering, setting the garbage outside for them to remove regularly, and doing food prep and consumption out on the lanai. These were easy enough to accommodate. We would stay there again. ##### Heath L. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hargita K.

The images are nothing compared to the reality of the house and the surrounding garden. The most beautiful and peaceful place we have ever stayed at and looking forward to staying at again. The house and grounds are immaculate and Scott has built a true homage to Hawai'i and the culture. The Hale Hapu'u is clean and comfortable and the outdoor "spa" tub was perfect! We enjoyed spending mornings having breakfast on the porch and listening to the sounds of nature around us. Quiet, comfortable, peaceful, soul nourishing. Absolutely loved it. ##### Hargita K.

The grounds are immaculate and provide a perfect oasis for the local wildlife that we enjoyed experiencing all day. The layout of the Hapu’u is perfect and the personal touches of the wood carvings provide a wonderful touch of Hawaiian culture. Every morning was like waking up in paradise. Scott provided so much detailed and informative information ahead of time, this helped greatly in planning our stay on the big island. He also included everything you would need to ensure a relaxing and stress free stay, including unlimited coffee, bath towels and bubble bath for the outdoor bathtub. This place is just simply magical and we were very lucky that we were able to stay here. ##### Nadia K. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chandra T.

The directions were very clear (but make sure you read every line). My wife is a vegetarian and prefers home cooked meals on some days. Scott provided a grill with a side burner. It worked well for us. But remember that cooking and dish washing should be in the outside cabana/sitting area. But they have an outside sink in a covered area. The inside is simply amazing. Scott does carving with wood and stone. All the tiki carvings in photos were done by Scott. Outside hot tub is also a highlight! It was super convenient for our drive to volcanos national park! ##### Chandra T. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chieko O.
