Lush, safe, quiet and friendly neighborhood. Hosts are easy to communicate with. First time here but will return.

Couldn’t ask for a more peaceful, secluded, beautiful location. A ridiculously comfortable bed. The Bali-style open-air bathroom is unique and luxurious. And a gentle greeting from the house dog was a nice bonus.

Hannah was GREAT! She gave us great information about check in, where to park, everything we needed. The place was super clean. We stayed at 5 different location while we were in Hawaii, and this was our favorite by far. Place was exactly what was described. If you don’t mind the sounds of nature, and a Great outside bathroom, which we loved, this is the place to stay in the Hilo area. If you want to visit the volcano, Hilo area, and only have two people this is the place to stay. Thanks again Hannah for allowing Karen and I stay at your awesome Jungle Retreat.

Lovely street, home and room! host & hostess very accommodating! Serene jungle setting with birds and frogs 🐸 chirping adding to the ambiance!

My husband and I stayed here for a week and had a wonderful stay. Hannah is very attentive and available whenever you need something. We had the room with the outdoor seating space which is key. There's no air conditioning in that room (the ceiling fan is fine) and it's a bit smaller than the 2 other rooms, but we prefer to have an outdoor space to hang for morning coffee and evening Coqui frog listening. There is no actual kitchen here, coffee maker and small fridge in the room, but there is a large sink and a few dishes in the laundry room which is next door to this room. Note that the other people staying in the other rooms can also use the laundry room so it isn't completely private at all times. And the owner is in the space above that room and you can hear them at times as the listing states, but we didn't have any issues with that. The outdoor bathroom is very cool and still private although you will hear people as they walk by. If you are looking for a completely private place, this may not be for you, but the location is ideal and we found it to be very comfortable and enjoyable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! Hannah and Tanner were amazing hosts who went above and beyond to supply us with ideas of where to go and what to see! The bed, pillows and linens were amazingly comfortable and the tropical/jungle view from our room was stunning! My favorite thing was listening to the Coqui frogs who sang us to sleep each night. It made me feel right at home having lived in Puerto Rico for 18 months. We would definitely stay here again!

We loved staying at the Jungle view bedroom VRBO and “jungle” is no exaggeration. You feel as if you’re completely surrounded by gorgeous tropical Hawaiian greenery. The outside sitting area was a great place to enjoy morning coffee and listen to all the birdsongs surrounded by palms and countless other trees and flowering plants. It’s also located very close to town which was convenient. Hannah and Tanner are gracious and welcoming hosts and we enjoyed meeting them. 5 stars all the way!

A wonderful inviting place to stay and convenient to everything! A lovely home away from home!
