Jungle Estate - 3 Cottages, 1.5 Acres and a POOL Sleeps 9
If you are dreaming of your own private tropical getaway for up to nine guests in the verdant landscapes on the east side of Hawaii Island, you've come to the right place! Jungle Estate offers three cottages spread over a 1.5 acre parcel in Hawaiian Paradise Park, just south of Hilo. Each cottage is landscaped for maximum privacy and each offers all the comforts of home. There are plenty of places to get together with your group, including the swimming pool. These three popular vacation rentals are now being offered together to accommodate more guests when families and friends are traveling together.
Jungle Villa is the largest and most posh one bedroom cottage of the group. The very private yard is surrounded by areca palm trees. The Royal Poinciana flowering tree in the middle of the yard erupts in lava red blooms parts of the year. Flowering vines, citrus trees, and bird song complete this secret garden location. There's a private swimming pool and outdoor shower to seal the deal! The bedroom features a Queen size iron frame bed and ensuite bathroom with walk-in tiled shower, walk-in closet and dual vanity sinks. The living room is large with two leather sofas, a flat screen Smart TV for streaming, free WiFi and lots of windows with garden views. The galley kitchen has everything you need for cooking local produce on the gas range. Dine inside on large dining table or pleasure in outdoor eating on the lanai table facing the backyard and pool. We also have a propane grill outside for grilling . Plenty of seating around the property gives you many spots to lounge and relax.
Jungle Bungalow is a one bedroom cottage that sleeps up to four guests, with a Queen bed in the bedroom and a sleeper sofa in the living room. The open living room and kitchen allow for ease of cooking, watching DVDs, reading or simply unwinding with the sounds of nature. The one bedroom has a Queen size bed and small closet with hangers. We provide a few beach essentials including beach towels and chairs for your adventures. The bathroom has a walk-in shower, toilet and sink. A DVD player and a few movies are available for your entertainment on a small screen. The best feature is certainly the patio with table and chairs where you can view our colorful jungle garden and sounds of birds year round. There's a washer and dryer in the laundry closet for your convenience.
Jungle Studio sits well behind Jungle Bungalow, each on a private half acre. Jungle Studio has a Queen sized bed and private bathroom with a large shower. We provide a few essentials for food preparation but please note there not a full kitchen in the Studio. Provided: coffee maker, microwave, mini-refrigerator, and dishes for 2 guests. The Studio has a lovely, private patio with table and chairs so you can relax and enjoy our jungle yard. A DVD player and a few movies are available for your entertainment on a small screen.
There's also a yoga studio on the property that serves as a detached bedroom with a full bed, bringing the maximum occupancy of the Jungle Estate to nine guests. We hope you'll consider Jungle Estate for your next Big Island visit!!

Enjoyed our stay
We were on the Big Island for my grandson's baseball tournament in Hilo. This property was 30 minutes away but worked out okay. It was nice to have enough space for my whole family. The property was very clean. We had 2 infants and was comfortable letting them crawl on the floor. The pool area and back yard was a little buggy with mosquitos but that was expected with all the vegetation.
The communication with the property manager needs work. I couldn't find the pack n play and texted but no response. I found it about an hour later in one of the closets. Then on our second day, I asked if we could use the yoga studio. No response until the third day. These two incidents was not a big deal but would've appreciated a prompt response. Then on the third day we planned to grill our steaks, hotdogs, and vegetables. There were two propane tanks, one was empty and the other was frozen. I texted the problem right away and got a response that someone will be dropping off another tank. It was delivered but didn't fit the grill. By this time we managed to cook everything on the stove. This was very, very disappointing.
We were allowed an early check in, that was very much appreciated. All in all, we enjoyed our stay.

Paradise and Amazing
The property was amazing!! Homes in the area do not have air conditioning but the property has an amazing pool that lets you cool your core down. The master bathroom in the house has a big shower to cool off. It exceeded our expectations!! Thank you!!

Great spot for big family gatherings
We place was perfect for our 3 family neighbor island getaway! With the multiple units it gave us enough separation and privacy but also allowed us to all get together for dinner and fun in the pool. I will say you should expect to have to clean the pool yourself because of the jungly location. My mom complained that the coqui frogs were too loud at night but I found them peaceful. My sister-in-law also said she wished there was A/C but it didn’t bother us too much because there were plenty fans. Great location for quick trips to Hilo and not too far from Volcano National Park, which was awesome! I would definitely recommend this fun little escape!

Quaint Hideaway
In a nutshell, it was home away from home. While we were all together, we all had our own specific private space. My husband and I occupied the Villa and where we all gathered to eat…my daughter and her family occupied the Bungalow and my son and his wife occupied the Cottage. One can not ask for a more beautiful set-up and it was not far from most anything you might want to see or do. I’m so glad I chose Jungle Estates fii or e my vacation stay. Will do it again.
