English Holiday in Hawaii

Property was perfect. The cooler, beach towels, beach chairs and boogie boards really helped save us money from having to buy ourselves. Good location for Volcanoes National Park and Hilo however most of the snorkelling and sandy beaches are on the other side of the island so expect some hour plus drives (only downside of the property). Loved listening to the frogs and birds in the evening. There was also an electric kettle which was much needed for this English family.

Summer Trip

This is one of the cleanest places we’ve ever stayed at. Good family sized home that has everything we needed. Big back yard that is fenced in. Great for those with little kids. Location is ok. Not too far from anything but not real close either. Only negative is no air conditioning. On a hot humid summer night makes it hard to sleep as place does not cool down. Maybe a few more fans would help.

Beautiful home

The house was very beautiful inside out. We had a wonderful time in the house. Especially the beautiful backyard. My six year old son every morning will get up and go straight to the backyard and just run around looking for small creatures. The only downside was I saw blood on one of the pillow cases and the refrigerator have smell, but besides that we love the place.

The house is well organized with a welcome touch in a very peaceful setting. It is well taking care inside and the garden is magic with the plants and all the birds chirping all the time. The pleasure of modern need in the tame nature. We had a wonderful time. The location require some driving around to enjoy all the island wonders.

Tropical Paradise

We loved our stay here! The backyard made the trip! It was full of lizards, frogs & beautiful birds. Our young kids had a blast searching for creatures. The home was cute and had what we needed. Nothing fancy, but very comfortable. We were worried about no AC, but we never felt hot. The ceiling fans kept it perfect. Well stocked with kitchen appliances, boogie boards, a cooler, beach chairs & beach towels. They supply bar soap but no other toiletries, so bring those along. We’d definitely stay here again!

Great place!

Loved the place! We loved the house and appreciated the fresh flowers that were left for us. Slept soundly to the chorus of frogs ‘singing’ us to sleep. Also had great supply of dishes, Tupperware and other items. Highly recommend.

Nice beautiful house with big garden and lots of amenities

Our family enjoyed the trip to this house in the Pahoa area. It was a nice, clean house with plenty of space. Can't really complain. Can get pretty warm during day but in the evening its breezy and enjoyable.

Very pleasant property and experience

This property is a little off the beaten path, but if you're exploring the Hilo side of the island, it's a great launching off place. It was cozy, comfy and well appointed. There's a beautiful back yard. The whole property is gated for added security and comfort, but we did not feel uncomfortable in the neighborhood at any time. You will definitely hear the natural surroundings. We enjoyed all the sounds of the island. I would absolutely stay here again and work with the same management company on other properties. Well done!

Exceeded our expectation.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We got in on a rainy night, so at first we could not see clearly and the house was very stuffy since the windows were close. After the windows were opened the house began to breath and started cooling down, and when morning came, the beauty the property possesses came to light; especially in regards to the backyard. The amenities were plentiful. There were more things there for our convenience than what we have at home. We really truly loved our stay there. Definitely a "Diamond in the rough!". To add, our host or property manager, Robinette, was accessible and very helpful to us, and we really appreciated that.

Super Awesome Home!!!

Overall, an excellent experience. The house is lovely from the inside with nice decor, has a beautiful garden, close to beautiful rainforest and Lava areas and beaches. This is one of the best "stocked" homes: had excellent kitchen items, beds, towels, brand new washing machine, fridge, TV, internet, etc. Outside has a beautiful garden, airy and open. Jolanta V. was our Hawaiian Life host and super responsive and v helpful! Loved the stay and will definitely come again. Thank you!

Huge house with a beautiful garden and everything you need

I spent the month of July living at this house. and I really enjoyed it. The pics are very accurate about both the spaciousness and lusciousness of the house. The bathrooms were clean and the house has a ton of towels. The kitchen was a bit barren as far as spices (literally only salt) and storage containers but had everything else: Lots of plates, cutting boards, knives, different baking trays, measuring cups etc. The dishwasher is also a great addition to the kitchen. I only used one bedroom but found the bed to be pretty comfortable. There yard is massive with lush greenery. It's a great place to unwind: I spent a lot of time reading out in the back. The chairs in the living room are very comfy: I watched a lot of shows. The internet was very reliable and fast. I never had any issues at all with streaming, video calls or working remotely. The place is not far from Pahoa (10-12 mins) but far enough that I recommend renting a car as well. My one criticism, which may just be me since I was solo, was that I didn't always feel fully comfortable in the neighbourhood. Overall though this is a great home and I'd definitely rent it again.

Fantastic Garden, big House

we arrived at the house in the late evening. It was easy to find with GPS. The house is very beautiful and has a paradise garden. everything is very generous in the house itself. Wifi worked great and also entertainment (TV) was available. What I would like to suggest: it would be nice if there were couches on the terrace. The existing equipment is rusty. The grill is so dirty, that was disgusting, it should be replaced. the light in the kitchen is not ok. we had to use our flashlights to cook something. the pots and pans are damaged, the coating is scratched! The cleanliness suffers from small things. in the coffee machine was still the moldy coffee of the predecessor .... Nevertheless, I can only recommend the house! The management was immediately available for questions. Price Performance Top !!!
