It is about 13 miles from Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park and offers a residential base for exploring the island’s east side. The property has a public rating of 4.87 out of 5 from 101 reviews.
Rooms & Amenities
The bedrooms each have a full bed, and the living room has a sleeper sofa. Inside are vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, natural light, Hawaiian-inspired décor, a Smart TV, and a DVD player. Amenities include free Wi-Fi, a washer and dryer, a hot tub, and a kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, a gas range, oven, microwave, rice cooker, and drip coffee maker.
Outdoor Space
A covered lanai has an outdoor dining table, and the yard is fenced. The home also provides beach chairs. Guests should note that grilling is not allowed at the property.
Location & Nearby Places
The home is well placed for visiting Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, including the Kīlauea Visitor Center and Nāhuku (Thurston Lava Tube), as well as east-side sights such as Akatsuka Orchid Gardens and Rainbow Falls. Hilo, its Farmers Market, and Hilo International Airport are also within reach by car. Nearby dining options include Ohia Lehua Cafe, Wyatt’s Place, and Kurtistown Cafe.
Best for
This home suits couples or families looking for a self-catering base with room for up to four across two full beds and a living-room sleeper sofa. Its kitchen, washer and dryer, covered lanai, and access to Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park and east-side attractions support longer, independent stays.
Travel tips
Plan to get around by car: the property has driveway parking for one vehicle, and the listed nearby airports and restaurants are spread across the island. The home is about 13 miles from Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park; arrive with directions ready, especially if traveling after dark, as one guest found the home difficult to locate at night. Quiet hours are 9 p.m. to 8 a.m., and guest vehicles must use the designated onsite parking area.
What guests say
Guests frequently describe the home as clean, comfortable, quiet, and private, and some highlight the surrounding foliage and lanai as appealing features. Reviews also mention helpful, responsive communication from the host and an easygoing stay. One guest felt the kitchen equipment was somewhat limited, while another suggested a broom and laundry basket would be useful additions.
