We had a great stay while visiting family near Pahoa. The house was comfortable and clean, with really good instructions on finding the location.We didn't have a good opportunity to meet the host, since we're kept busy with my wife's sister, but we really appreciated the privacy.The lanai was beautiful and, despite the hectic schedule, we found some time to relax out there.Thank you for sharing this lovely place!

Lisa was incredibly accommodating to my little family. The home was very clean, luxury local Hawaiian vibes, A/C and fans worked GREAT! The place was super toddler friendly for us and felt really safe with the gated entry. We loved grilling out back and playing in the yard with our son. Nice comfy beds - we slept better than we have in months no kidding! Lisa never made us feel bad for special requests, was always very responsive when we reached out, and was always happy to help us. She genuinely wanted us to enjoy the stay and it showed. I’ve spent a lot of time in Hawaii over the years and I have to say this was our favorite and most memorable trip. I will definitely be staying here again!

This is one of if not the best VRBO stays our family has had. The host thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable from detailed recommendations for places to visit and where to get the best poke. This home is in a very quiet neighborhood perfect for relaxing. Location this home is perfect for exploring day Hilo, Volcanoes National Park, many water falls, or coffee mills. Highly recommend you stay here!

Beautiful property with an amazing Lanai. The Host is very welcoming and respectful of privacy. My Husband and I enjoyed 8 nights here and loved the accommodations. We were so relaxed at this property and felt spoiled. The bed and comforter were so comfortable and we enjoyed sleeping with the windows open each night. The kitchen had everything we needed too. Great location and close to so many beautiful waterfalls and a beautiful beach called Ha ena . We saw over 15 sea turtles and arrived at this beach by hiking the Puna trail. Staying here was perfect and I highly recommend and would come back in a heartbeat!

Great family place
My family and I had a great time at this property. It had plenty of room to for my family of five, plus an enclosed patio for hanging out and playing games. The property is centrally located between Hilo and Volcano National Park, and right down the street from a trailhead that will take you to a beautiful beach where we saw over 30 turtles. I would recommend it to anyone and can’t wait to return.
