We had trouble getting into the code. We did not expect alarm system. The place was beautiful however we thought the house had air conditioning. The place felt damp and at times difficult to get comfortable. Location was perfect. . The hot tub was dirty but we cleaned and were able to use. Overall would recommend staying here.

Amazing people and property

The house was spacious and over nice. One room had mold and could not be slept in due to the smell. They had a dehumidifier in the room, but did not eliminate the smell.. The house was mostly clean, but could use a little extra cleaning, bathrooms and kitchen especially.The owner is very nice and very good with communication. We enjoyed the location of the house, at the end of the street, so not any traffic. The only other thing was we had 7 adults and 2 children and they left out 6 towels for us to use for a week long stay with no laundry soap to wash.

We had a great stay. The home was very large and homey. It was clean, the hot tub was a plus, and the location was a very short drive to the Volcano National Park. I traveled with my wife, our two boys (ages 5 and 2), my father-in-law, and brother-in-law, there was plenty of room for all and my kids enjoyed the spacious back yard.

We really enjoyed our stay at this volcano house. It was large enough for us to spread out and have some space, but not too big. The host was easy to communicate with, and seemed eager for us to be happy with the rental. It was pretty cool for Hawaii, but the rental has a wood stove and the host left a small supply of wood. It kept the place warm in the evenings. If you have a group this is a great rental.

Great location to Kilauea and Hilo. Hot tub was a plus. Fireplace was wonderful due to the colder temperatures.

Very comfortable and well appointed accommodations! We were a group of 3 couples and there was plenty of room for everyone to hang out and be comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed including some condiments we had forgotten. Excellent value and super close to the volcano for hikes! Will stay here again!

Super good spot in Volcano, a few minutes from the state park. A little far from Hilo. The hot tub is super clean and huge. Good areas to chill and hangout. Bed were SUPER squeaky but decently comfortable for a vrbo. The check in and out process is super simple too

The house was spacious and had everything we needed. Kitchen very stocked and were able to cook every night for ourselves. Very private location. Was a drive to any activities but we didn’t mind. Not the “touristy” side of the island. Nice place for couples or large groups. Would definitely stay again. Overall we had a fantastic stay.

House and grounds are beautiful! We loved it. The only negatives were the noise created by the catchment system and whatever critters were under the house/garage area scratching and clawing for hours on end. I slept in the bedroom closest to the laundry room and the critters kept me awake for large portions of most nights! This was a once in a lifetime trip for my whole family. Staying at Creme de la creme made the trip a huge success. The bag of gifts that were left for us was an added, unexpected lovely bonus! Thank you!!

Our three couples plus one had a comfortable stay here. Very close to the National Park and just a short drive to Hilo. Loved the large hot tub and the chorus of frogs at night. Nice large dining room table around which to share our meals and a well-equipped kitchen. And a large couch in the living room that accommodated us all!

Great stay.

It had been over 5 years since we had been able to gather as a complete Family. Active Duty member, Business owners, and full-time parents. We all gathered in Volcano, to enjoy time away to relax and visit another Island of Hawaii. Creme de la Creme accommodated all of us perfectly (10-7 adults and 3 children (one infant). We were able to prepare our breakfast and Dinner meals with ease in the kitchen (after securing all the needed supplies in Hilo). It was awesome to be able to all gather daily in the am and enjoy a meal, then at the end of the day with dinner completed for us to relax and enjoy the family time. Thank you for quickly responding to my inquires when made and for allowing or vacation time. Sorry about all the leftover groceries, we kind of over shopped, better to have more than not enough.

Fantastic and spacious house in a great location. Owners were very responsive. Highly recommended property for families, close to HVNP.

It’s hard to find a nice home to fit our family sized needs! This was perfect! Plenty of space in the living room, dining room and bedrooms! We found the home to be clean and inviting! Loved the close vicinity to the park. Also loved the farmers market in the sleepy town of volcano! Definitely recommend staying

Beautiful spacious home with backyard/patio area with hot tub! Literally in a rain forest (including rain while we were there), but the hot tub is covered - no problem! Only minutes away from the park, so we were able to beat the crowds. (You definitely need to see the lava in the early, early morning - like we did - or at night.) The place had everything (and more!) than we needed.

Nice house in great location but in need of some maintenance. The hot tub was a nice plus. However, the house itself was quite dated and could use a deep clean. Bring your own pillows at a minimum (dust on bathroom baseboards, stuff like used bandaids under beds), stained lampshades, and at best dim lighting. On a sunny day (we had none) with all the curtains wide open like the pictures, it might not be as noticeable but on grey days, the house needed better lighting. The front door seemed not well grounded and the security pad numbers stuck. For the price I expected better but it is one of the few places with 4 bedrooms and very easy to get to and from Volcano National Park. With a little TLC this could be quite nice.

Loved the location near the volcano. The house and property were amazing and enough room for everyone.

First, the good: This is a nice big house set in a lush rain forest. The living room has a comfortable seating area and the TV is enormous. The kitchen is well laid out with a huge refrigerator, a gas stove and a dishwasher. In the back yard, the Weber gas grill worked perfectly to grill some steaks we bought in Hilo. The not-so-good: The water system's pump is really loud and runs often. This would be a major issue if we needed to use the bedrooms on the water tank side of the house; the pump is loud enough to interfere with sleep. We only used the master bedroom on the other side of the house, so it wasn't as much of an issue, but the pump can be heard throughout the house. In the kitchen, the over-the-stove microwave failed at some point, and was replaced by a counter-top unit. Now there's no vent fan over the stove, which is a problem for cooking, say, bacon for breakfast. The outdoor light fixtures in the front of the house have burned-out bulbs and the driveway is completely dark at night. The wood stove is out of order. Its flue was removed and living room heat was provided by two space heaters. The hot tub water level was too low and when the jets were turned on, water sprayed all over the place. This is a nice house in a great location, but it's in need of maintenance.

Great place! Quiet and spacious

The house is in a great location and the space is great for cooking, relaxing, and enjoying your family. There is typical wear and tear around the house, and some of the hardware is in need of an update. However, on balance, the location, quiet, and comfort override the small shortcomings.

beautiful home and so close to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park! we were able to drive back at night to see lava!! the house was clean, well-appointed, awesome hot tub- thanks for a great stay!! would definitely stay again!!

This place does not sleep 12, there is no sleeper sofa but instead the extra “beds” are broken thin futons without sheets. Main bedroom bed is broken and bows in the middle where the main support is broken. Keypad didn’t work and check in instructions were not correct. We had to figure it out bec host wasn’t (still hasn’t) responded. A good portion of the lights don’t work or are burned out including the main lights in the kitchen and one bedroom. Hot tub had debris in it. The neighborhood is cute and the house has promise with a little TLC. Beautiful fairly private grounds. Kitchen was decently well appointed. Coffee was appreciated. Good location ~10 mins from park.

This is an ok place with a nice location but details make it not so ok . Some lights didn’t work ( I presume burned out bulbs but no replacement bulbs ). Towel rack fell under weight towels ( not a new problem as other broken towel racks in laundry room). Hot tub was nice feature but the chemicals were so strong that it caused severe coughing. A few extre pillows would have mmade guests who need a bit of elevation for a good night’s sleep would have appreciiated those as well. Loved having acccesss to such a nice house—it just needs a little attention.

The proximity to Volcano National Park was amazing! The weather was WET!!! I cannot imagine what the rainy season is like as there were only a few dry hours in the 6 days we stayed. The layout of the property was fantastic and suited our needs perfectly. The one complaint was the cleanliness of the home. If there is a service I could not tell! Also, the mattress in the master could use replacing. The kitchen was a great size and had ample appliances. Bring spices and other pantry items as there are none supplied. Also bring laundry detergent if you are staying for any length of time. This is not supplied nor are facial tissues.

The house had everything we needed. Perfect space for a large family. Near by actives - food stores. Volcano NP right down the street. Could use a deep cleaning.

Great location. Close to national park. Great property. Highly recommend

Beautiful, lush grounds, close to HWNP, and has everything you will need-extra pillows, blankets, lots of outdoor seating, and the hot tub was great, after long days of exploring!

Big house, but not maintained well. Multiple issues with state of repair and cleanliness. Hot tub was a mess. Cover damaged from chemicals, water logged and broken no working filter. Even though they seem to fill it fresh, it is out of repair. Master bath is in need of tub surround repairs. Cooking pans had food residue. Many small things that need attention. Cluttered and dark interior. Couch is too old and needs update - a bit musty and sagging.

The home is our new go-to place to stay when we travel to Volcano. We go twice a year and this unit has great location, superb layout, great furnishings, and all the comforts of home. Comfortable and spacious, the unit easily met the needs of all of our party and provided for a great stay. We look forward to our next trip this summer.

Wetter part of the island as expected. House a little dark but nicely appointee and lots of room. Great location for visiting Volcano NP and coastline around this part of the island. Had done in day trips in past and this was way better. Great communication with owner. Would recommend this property.

We had a great time at this little piece of paradise. Nice and quiet with well-kept grounds. Responsive hosts to any questions we may have had and the house set-up was great so that sets of adults can have some space to themselves. I look forward to staying here again.
