Our hosts were very gracious and accommodating. We had a wonderful time and had everything we needed. We hope to stay with Kepi and Jim again.

Beautifully kept property. Super nice and friendly hosts. Jim & Kepi made us feel welcomed and shared their island knowledge. The apartment was very welcoming and comfortable. The geckos are nice to visit with.
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
What a magical place in the rainforest. Painted bright green with blue trim ... that made it an immediate hit as far as we were concerned! We saw that the attention to artistic detail was fabulous. Hand painted sea turtles on the floor as well as various paintings done by Kepi, the owner. The furnishings were very Hawaiiana and comfortable, including the bed. The lanai was a great place to enjoy morning coffee and the grounds were impeccable; the paved paths wondering through the lush tropical flora. The sounds of the birds were soothing, even the chickens / roosters next door! Coqui frogs serenaded us from dusk until early morning hours every day. The stars were incredible also. Kepi (and Jim) were very welcoming hosts; eager to share their knowledge of the area with us. The location is perfect, centrally located for trips to Hilo (Carlsmith and Richardson's Beaches), the Hamakua coast (Honoka'a - Tex Drive In and Waipi'o Valley Overlook) Volcanoes National Park (Thirston Lava Tube, Halema'uma'u crater, Vocano Rim Restaurant) the southeast coastline (Kalapana, Issac Hale Beach Park) and longer trips to Kona and west coast via Saddle Road (Hapuna Beach, Waikaloa, the shops, restaurants, and beaches in Kona). If giving Kepi and Jim 20 stars was possible we would do it !! We are already planning a return trip next year.
8 / 10Excellent·Nov 2025
This was my 1st time using VRBO. Place had nice bird sounds and had great deep sleep at night.Water and other amenities were good. Futon bed was hard but doable. Bathroom shower was slippery for some reason. Owner left nice directions and instructions.Overall, it was a good place to stay between Hilo and Volcano park. I would definitely recommend it.
