A lovely home with tons of amenities. The only thing I would like to see is furnishings in the bedrooms so one can unpack and get settled in. Presently there are no drawers or shelves in which to put one's things. So I had to live out of my suitcase. The closets are large and shelving in one half would solve the problem.

We loved this house and property. We were visiting our brand new granddaughter and it was so nice to have a place to stay that felt like home. The house was stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoying stay. Mahalo!

Enjoyed our stay and it was a great location. Had great weather in the month of January. Khym is a great hostess and goes out of her way to answer your questions very quickly. They live next door but give you complete privacy. Keep the windows closed at night and you don’t hear the frogs. Thanks Khym for everything and we wish you and your husband all the best in the future. Aloha

We loved the Bird’s Nest! It was just as it was listed. The house was well-appointed and very comfortable, especially the beds. We slept well after a long day exploring Volcanoes National Park. I’d forgotten how lovely it is to wake up to the sounds of nature. If you want peace and quiet that isn’t too far from Hilo, this is the place for you. And Khymberly is great to work with. She’s responsive and clear in all her communications—very much appreciated. We would stay again.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the "Birds Nest". We were serenaded by birds, frogs, and crickets overnight and the occasional rooster in the morning. The home is furnished nicely and is well set up for a small family or 2 couples traveling together. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you might need and they have many staples available for you to use. The grounds are very pretty and the outdoor space is very usable. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a lovely stay at the Bird’s Nest! Location was very convenient, communication was great, and we really enjoyed everything the home offered from the well stocked kitchenware for cooking, the relaxing deck, comfortable beds and nice shower/bathroom. Would highly recommend this place for a relaxing stay!

This is our second time at this property and we will stay again next year. Clean , comfortable, quiet. Well appointed, very local. Host is top notch.

This property is truly outstanding in the region. Great value. Large living and dining area with a spacious covered backyard-facing (privacy) balcony. Fully equipped kitchen, complete with all the essential utensils, appliances, gadgets, dishwasher, garburator, and gas barbeque. The separate laundry room and second toilet and shower downstairs makes this ideal for families and longer stays. Both bedrooms were rather comfortable, and the overhead ventilators throughout the house made things nice and breezy. The property was very clean and in excellent order. Our hosts were responsive. The big bonus of this VBRO was the availability and generous stocking of the pantry and cleaning supplies. This alone helped us to avoid wasting hundreds of dollars on what would have been only partially-used containers of condiments, spices, and certain food staples. I liked the pay-it-forward attitude of the venue.
