Greg and Marie were great hosts. We thought the location was excellent and the room was very clean. I especially liked the decor inside and the yard was so well kept. We loved the lookout in the backyard. My husband saw whales every day. The only thing that might put someone off is the very pro Trump flags and lawn signs and a full size blow up of the man by the front door. So be aware if you’re a Dem or from a country that Trump is trying to take over! I did find it a bit stressful.

Good value and location for the price. Facilities were a little dated but it was well maintained and clean. The birds sang very loudly so if you need quiet at night that could be problematic but if you enjoy the sound it is pleasant. I would stay here again.

If I could give Marie & Greg 10 stars, I would. This was our second visit and it was even more outstanding than the first. They make you feel like old friends or treasured family instead of just VRBO guests. The neighborhood is quiet, convenient to everything on the east side of the big island and offers anything you could need for a relaxing visit. We will return again!

The place was as described and the host very helpful. The observation deck makes the experience. There is a significant amount of political decor around the property . You may or may not appreciate this ambiance. I would have liked to have known that before booking as it wasn’t the vibe I was for on vacation.

Friendly hosts who let us pick lemons and limes from the trees in their yard. We felt very safe in the area, quick walk to the beach, and AMAZING sunrise views from the overlook!!! Wish we booked at least 3 nights! It is also a very quick drive in to Hilo. Cannot recommend this place enough!

This was just the right size for the two of us. Marie and Greg were super friendly and kindly let us have access to all their amenities including the outlook (great for watching the sunrise) and the gate that gives you easy access to Honoli’i Beach. Every activity we did was about 15 minutes away, aside from visiting the volcano which is about an hour drive. Hoping we can visit again soon!

Awesome experience!

I loved this accommodation! It was auper clean and well appointed! Marie took care of all the little details! It was the perfect set up for me and my two girls to stay for a few nights while we explored around Hilo. The futon bed could be thicker but we knew what it was when we booked and the girls are young and can adjust! I loved chatting with the hosts and really enjoyed looking at Marie's beautiful orchids! The frogs (which we nicknamed "pookie" frogs because thats what it sounds like they are saying) become active in the evening and sing continuously until sometime early in the morning. I found them to be soothing and pleasant. But I am used to farm noises and love springtime when I can open my bedroom window at night to hear the crickets and the frogs in our pond. Overall it was a wonderful stay!

Misleading Information/Photo Advertising

I rented this place because of the information/picture. I envisioned starting our day relaxing with coffee on the deck while enjoying ocean views. The photo advertised is actually the owner’s. The rental is in the back with no view and no place to sit without dragging kitchen chairs outside. What the photo also doesn’t accurately show are the 47 signs, flags and blow ups surrounding the property. The washer is also in the owner’s house so you have to ask to use it. It was not the stay we had anticipated.
