The home is very clean and updated, I loved the layout. The exterior is spectacular with the jungle as your backyard to explore and enjoy with a hot tub and outdoor shower.The owners who live in an adjacent were very cognizant of our privacy, yet super nice waving as we'd leave the property.It was just my wife and I, but the property is big enough for another couple or kids.I'd return to this property without hesitation. ##### holleysmoke ..

Everything was immaculate, and all the luxuries to make it a special stay. We are "coffee-holics", so we overjoyed when we came in to all the wonderful options.We spent most of our time relaxing in the incredible outdoor spaces. The outdoor shower and hot tub are a special treat. Wandering the garden paths after dark is like being in a fairy jungle. The primary suite is particularly romantic with the outdoor lighting flickering through the curtains.We will be back! ##### Leslie S.

Reviewer Comments: One week stay in peaceful luxury - privacy in stunning gardens, outdoor showers, hot tub, swivel rockers on cozy lanai listening to birds and feeling the breezes, luxurious beds, bidet toilets, heated towel racks, hawaiian made toiletries, top of the line appliances with everything you could ask for in a gourmet kitchen. Everything was spotless and sqeeky clean. Beautifully designed home built on lava rock bed creates a stunning setting for sitting back and relaxing. Host was non-intrusive but very warm and engaging when we initiated conversation. Close to town and an easy drive to beaches. Truly a highlight of our two month stay on the big island. ##### Laure C.

Reviewer Comments: Worth every dime! I forgot how much we paid, but it was worth it. This property made us not want to leave home a couple of days. It’s tastefully decorated, well appointed, full of amenities, and peaceful. We were pleasantly surprised with the endless details, privacy and comfort. I’m an OCD type and I had zero issues. Even walked around with no shoes, left my suitcase open, and felt comfy laying on the sofa. That’s huge for me. Book this place. You won’t regret it! ##### Sheletha H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heidi D. Jul 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful tropical retreat minutes from Hilo We really enjoyed our stay at this unique property. We loved just sitting and looking out at the backyard which is like a tropical forest with paths available for walking, yet the property is in a neighborhood only 10 min from Hilo. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen is well appointed. The massage chair was enjoyed by all after hiking at the national park. This property is a great blend of nature and high tech with remote controlled ceiling fans and lighting in every room, high tech toilets and modern appliances. There is no air conditioning, and it was a bit hot in the afternoons, but it cooled off at night for sleeping. Check in/out was easy with the door code. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. The only negative we noticed was light filtering blinds in the main bedroom, which could be a problem for some who need the room darker in the morning hours. Also, coqui frogs sing at night (I think across most of the island). Could be white noise for some but we used our earplugs to sleep. ##### Heidi D.

My husband surprised me with this home. He didn't want me to know anything about it until we got there. We got there after dark and when we walked in it was the most fantastic surprise! The home was a dream! Windows everywhere lining the most gorgeous landscaping. The outside lighting lit the outside up and made you feel like you were in a Jurassic Park movie. The whole entire house was set up with so much love and care. All the little details really made it charming and special! I felt like I was in the middle of the rainforest while being in the comfort of a warm cozy house. The whole experience exceeded expectations! The hot tub was a fun experience amongst the landscaping and the chirping of the coqui frogs. Everything about this house was wonderful! Cozy blankets, air conditioning, heated towel warmers, fun appliances, and everything else! We absolutely loved it and will definitely want to stay there again! Best experience ever and it's so close to everything you want to see. We were greeted with such kindness! It is hands down a memorable experience. ##### Brian G.
