It's a very unusual house in a quiet (except for the local wildlife) area. Layout is weird but workable. The kitchen had all the basics for cooking, tons of linens in the bath, "smart" TV (bring your logins). It's 2 miles from the main road, so stop by the grocery store first.

Apr 11, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Tropical getaway Mapquest got us to the house easily. The hosts helped us with everything we needed. We chose the house for the hot tub because my husband has chronic back pain and hot tub jets help him relax. The hot tub did not have jets that massaged. They just moved the water slightly and only lasted for 5 minutes. That made our stay very difficult for my husband. Also the layout of bathrooms to bedrooms was unusual. All in all we had a good time but not as great as we’d hoped for. ##### Dorothy T U. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ben G.

There was everything we needed in terms of kitchen supplies and linens. We were there in late August and there is no AC but lots of fans so It was pretty hot and humid. Just be prepared. We slept better when we threw the sheets in the dryer for a few minutes just before going to bed. The hot tub on the lanai is lovely! And the private jungle location is lots of fun! ##### Audrey C.

There are frogs, geckos, snails, and cats. You're inevitably going to find some bugs inside the house, but nothing that'll bite you (didn't see any mosquitos). Be careful of the stairs at night, but the host has night lights around the house, so you should be ok. Other than that, this is a kid friendly place, they'll love exploring the property, which has one gate, but we still felt safe. My only gripes were that the cookware was questionable, it was a challenge to find a pan to use without a lot of scrapes on it, but this is not really the host's fault, as it's the past guests. Also, the electrical switches around the house need to be better labeled, you'll end of switching everything to see what is for what and still not know. The kitchen was stocked with essential spices and oils for cooking. The hot tub appeared to be functional, but we didn't use it. ##### Kenneth ### 8/10 Good #### Cheryl Johnson C.

The owner said we could change the bedspread but I was afraid they would use the bathroom on me while I was sleeping. Also there were a lot of bugs. You would always expect to see a few on most Hawaii properties, but there were obvious gaps in doors and walls where they could easily get in.Also, the ceiling fans were filthy and we couldn’t use them. The owner did offer to come and clean them, but I just didn’t feel like dealing with it so we used a floor fan. We found ONE that was clean enough to use. The rest of the house was mostly clean. Although there was also feces on the kitchen floor. The adorable geckos do poop a lot. ##### Charity D. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erica D.

Upon entry, the place was even more whimsical than the listing leads one. There were producing fruit trees in the yard and the garden was so pleasurable to walk through. The king-sized beds were very comfortable and the breeze throughout the house left no need for A/C. The property manager was quick to answer any questions we had and was very attentive and nice. Even though the property seems remote there were stores within a 10-minute drive for last-minute dinner needs. We were graciously granted early check-in and late check-out. We stayed 5 days and it was not enough!! Can't wait to return and stay again. Mahalo nui to our hosts!!! ##### Erica D. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Connie O.

Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia Jun 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We selected this property because the house was so unique and full of character. It did not disappoint! It was built by a shipbuilder from an old water cistern with additional rooms and a generous veranda built around it. One of the most impressive aspects was the large lot with lush tropical landscape. Sitting on the veranda you felt like you were in the middle of a jungle. We’d sit out there every morning and evening listening to the wildlife. The house was close to a couple small towns, not far from Hilo and several other destinations we wanted to explore on the Big Island. The floor plan was a little awkward in that you had to get to the second bedroom through the bathroom or from the veranda, but being a small family we made it work. Thom was extremely helpful and responsive to all out questions and offered excellent recommendations of what to see. ##### Patricia Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin C. Jun 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing This property is truly an oasis- if you are looking for an extremely quiet tranquil location to relax and use as a home base to explore the east side of the big island this is a great option. Thom the property manager is terrific and local and very knowledgeable about the area and had a lot of great suggestions! This place also had A/C which was great for cooling off after a hot day of hiking and exploring. The kitchen was well appointed with all you need to make your own meals which I will say is how we roll and there is no delivery in the area and most restaurants are in the towns about 10-15 minutes away. There is a beach about 5 minute drive away that’s very private- not a huge white sand but small black sand beach- also a very cool area to explore at end of street where the lava flow took over the landscape. We had a great stay for 5 days here and would definitely suggest it to anyone looking to get away! ##### Kevin C. Stayed 5 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jenn D.

The property is beautiful, the house was perfect for us.. we woke up to the sounds of birds and rain.. the sun peeking in through the 360 windows on the top floor, went to sleep to the sounds of nature.. Thom was amazing, had great insight on the island and it’s happenings. Super friendly and answered all our questions. A+++ We will be back for sure! ##### Jenn D.

Great location feels rural yet near everything. We learned so much about wildlife and visited volcano national park while staying at this property. ##### Tim T.

The location was perfect to access any of the Hilo side attractions with fairly short drives to any of them. I felt like I was staying in the middle of the rain forest. Yes, the frogs, birds, and rain on the roof were noticeable at night, but I loved listening to them and just threw my ear plugs in when I was ready to sleep. The house was stocked with anything you may forget (toiletries, shower stuff, kitchen essentials, beach gear) and there were plenty of towels and bedding for everyone. We picked oranges, mandarins, and lemons off the trees and they were better than anything you'd get at the grocery store! This property was build in the early '80's so don't expect everything to be perfect. It was clean and cute and the perfect place to relax after a long day of sight seeing. Thom, the property manager, was in touch with me the day before we arrived and gave wonderful recommendations for things to do and was always quick to respond if I had any questions. ##### Suzy B.
