Amazing place in the middle of the rain forest! We really enjoyed our stay here and the hosts were very responsive. We definitely plan to come back and would recommend it to everyone wanting to experience a real life jungle, complete with neat little singing frogs and wild pigs. :)

Off the beaten path, this rental is in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood just six blocks from the ocean. It had everything we needed to enjoy our time on the eastern side of Hawaii. The owner was friendly and responsive throughout the entire rental experience.

The rooms were clean. Check in and out was easy. There’s no AC but it’s in the 60-70s at night. It was a good location for trips to Hilo and the volcano.

The area was ok and the lanai was lovely. It was nice to have 2 bathrooms. It was very warm and there was an off putting smell in the house. We took pictures of the less than clean bathrooms and some other areas. If this had been a hotel, we would not have stayed, but we felt stuck having booked the place for 6 nights. Our second vrbo for the second half of the trip feels like a breath of fresh air.
