a quick stay

We were only on the island for a night to visit Volcanoes NP and some of the south beaches, but our interaction with Neil both through the app and upon arrival was pleasant and informative. The place was nice, clean, and had everything you’d need when traveling. Follow his directions getting there. We appreciated the one night stay.

Unique

It was as if we entered another world along the lines of Swiss Family Robinson. It was a delight to be in a private setting so connected to the rain forest with kitchen and living room open to nature. Neil had gone to great care in insuring that guests needs are taken care of.

Rustic and comfy cabin

Just stayed one night but the cabin was very comfortable and well-appointed, surrounded by well-tended grounds. Neil was the perfect host, gave us four fresh eggs and a bunch of tangerines from the trees just outside the cabin. There are coqui frogs so if these disturb you, bring noise-cancelling ear buds. Mahalo Neil!

Magical

This cottage was special. From the outdoor kitchen/living room to the comfy bed and the private outdoor toilet/shower. Experiencing off-grid living was awesome. Neil was a great host and explained everything to us and we had some great personal "talk story" sessions. One of the reasons for this short staycation was to look at properties and we are looking forward to hopefully being friends and neighbors with Neil. We definitely recommend his BnB.

Perfect Quiet Getaway

Our stay was amazing & we didn’t want to leave! Neil was a great host who met us at check in and explained everything about the property, and even had some treats for us and the pups. Plush bedding, soft towels, & plenty of hot water, our stay was more luxurious than I thought it would be being in a tiny home that is off the grid. We enjoyed cooking in the outdoor kitchen, playing cards at the table, & just being surrounded by nature. By the end of our stay, we & our dogs were feeling so relaxed, happy, & refreshed that we wished we could stay longer. We will definitely be booking this again & highly recommend it!

Amazing Property

The property has all of the comforts of home in a private area far away from the tourists. The chorus of frogs and exotic birds at night was relaxing. We were only there for one night but wished we had booked it for longer. Neil is the best host you could ask for. This was one of the highlights of our trip around the island. Most of the time a Vrbo is just a place to sleep for the night. Neil's tiny house was an great experience.

Enchanting Frog cottage

Wonderful place. Very rustic almost like glamping but with a roof and a kitchen. Neil was a great host. We actually dubbed it as a Frog cottage. Off the grid but still close to supermarkets, stores and Volcano national park. Neil was so generous and accommodating. My fiancee and I loved our stay. A magical enchanting rustic place away from the crowd. Thank you Neil. We loved our stay. Stay true to yourself and take care!

Mountain View - Fern Acres visit

When we arrived, Neil was there to greet us, show us how to handle the gate and number of things for the property. He was very friendly, kind and understanding. He checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. This property had great space to walk a dog for a pet friendly VRBO. We had amble space to walk our pet and enjoy the view and lot. Once it was time to check out , check out was simple and straightforward We appreciated his communication and outgoing personality We look forward to potentially renting his property again

This place is a treat for the soul

We're greeted with a wa m welcome and a very detailed walk through that made us very confortable with using all the features of the home. The property is surrounded by tall, beautiful, wise trees and all you can hear is nature. The shower is nice and warm, and the bed is so comfy that you almost don't wanna leave it. Even with raining almost every day, the experience was still amazing and very relaxing. It feel like a retreat where you can unplug and reconnect with what really matters. Hubby and I love the experience and would highly recommend to anyone!

Cozy home in the jungle

Everything about my 2 week stay was perfect. It was a cozy place that connected me with the island in a way a hotel never could. I loved the outdoor kitchen/eating area. It was very well stocked. The bed was a comfortable nest of soft blankets and pillows piled on a wonderful mattress. The rain and frogs sang me to sleep each night. It was wonderful taking a warm shower outside each morning. I’ve never done that before and thoroughly enjoyed it. The lot was private and I felt safe- especially traveling alone. Neil was a perfect host and was as helpful as I needed. I highly recommend this property and will be suggesting it to my friends. Enjoy the island. Aloha!

A Perfect Getaway

We spent a week on Oahu for my mother-in-law's memorial service and then came to the Big Island for a second week to recover from the first week. Mission accomplished! The property was described perfectly. When planning this trip, were initially concerned that we might be too warm without A/C, but we were perfectly comfortable the whole time. We loved the outdoor shower and the open kitchen and dining area. Neil met us at the gate on a dark and rainy night when we arrived, and he was a perfect host. Listen to his advice to turn off of Volcano Road onto Kulani (instead of whatever Google suggests, as of 7/2024). Neil gave some great advice for a good beach (Carlsmith) and good dining (Hawaiian Style Cafe - we ate there three times and loved it). We hope to be back someday.

Beautiful relaxation

What an a amazing stay!! From the time we pulled onto the property we were awstruck. Its something out of a fairy-tale. Neil was amazing, greating us with eggs, tangerines, and a thorough walk through of the place. We loved waking up to all the birds singing and going to bed with the frogs singing. Other reviews felt the frogs were too loud, however not for us. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Sitting outside each morning with some coffee on this lad was magical.On the day it rained we enjoyed reading and relaxing. Neil was a gracious host and its very clear how much heart he has put into the place and how much he loves to share it. If we are on the island again, we would forsure stay here. Thank you Neil!

Perfection

We absolutely loved our stay. We are from Honolulu and wanted a get away for the 2 of us and our new puppy.We love that area of the island and also enjoy nature uo close and personal.In all the times we have used VRBO which is considerable this was by far the nicest host and the property that most fit our needs.We had everything we needed and nothing we did not.We tried to book our next stay there but it was already booked.Any future stays we have we will come here. We enjoyed Neil as a person besides just a host.He shared his story of getting the property with us and it was interesting and poignant.It also made the stay that much more special. Our puppy Lulu was in heaven and she loved it!! The little house was completely fenced in and our 6 pound puppy could roam free and we did not have to worry.The property is named and dedicated to the owners dog that has passed away so being dog lovers that meant a lot to us. We felt like we were home from the start and got more and more comfortable as the days went by. If you can get this property and off grid living on a beautiful property is what you're looking for.Stop your search you have found some place and a host that are as special as you can get. We will be back-Thanks Neil you're a gem!!

Awesome retreat! Awesome host!

Everything about this surpassed our expectations! Neil was very accommodating with our arrival (almost too friendly if that is possible). Everything was clean, the beds were super comfortable, and the place is stocked full of extras (coffee, tea, sunscreen, beach accessories). You are out in the woods - a few things you might want to know: The coqui frogs are LOUD at sundown - but they die out a few hours later (Neil even supplies ear plugs if you need them). A few bugs, but not many. There are a ton of stars, lots of privacy, and a place like none other! *IF* there is a downside, it is the road in. It is about 8 minutes of feeling like you are on a child's roller coaster. It is straight, but up-down-up-down. The gate security is a bit low-tech, but it works. The pictures show you what you are getting, so look closely. It is an outdoor kitchen / patio, outdoor flushable toilet, warm (almost hot) outdoor shower... and a retreat from traditional hotels / vacation rentals. Oh... did I mention Neil is awesome? Because he is!

Moonlight in Hilo

After a long and delayed flight from Maui, we arrived at this gorgeous little home that was just perfect for our family! Everything looked even better in person. The house is so well maintained by the owner Neil, who has been such a great host. He met us at 10pm to greet and show us around the house and its amenities. The place was meticulously clean and well stocked. The beds were so comfortable, good quality new sheets and towels, the nature around us and the gorgeous moonlight seeing from the porch made this short trip a marvelous one. Neil had some fresh eggs for us which was really helpful as I needed to feed my son breakfast before leaving to his canoe race. Neil also had water bottles in the fridge for us, but what made me so impressed was that He had extra toothbrushes, insect repellent, shaving cream etc, (which it was needed as my son forgot to pack his toothbrush). Everything was in place and we had plenty of supplies, pretty much more than needed. The property was gated and well maintained (made us feel super safe). Loved the solar lights around the property, out at the porch. We just wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the place and explore more. We are already planning to come back some time next summer but to stay a few nights. Communicating with Neil was so easy and he kept in touch with me since my stressed time at the airport. He was super supportive and understanding and helped with the directions. Thank you again Neil. See you soon. Mahalo!
