Judith and Ken were accommodating when we landed on Hilo. After 10:00pm they both greeted my husband and I on the lanai. They quickly went over the rules. This home is a beautiful and a home away from home. The stars are beautiful at night and you can see Orion and Taurus. The neighborhood is quiet. A definite place to be in while you’re visiting the Big Island.

Our family enjoyed our stay at this property. It was clean and well appointed. It even came with coolers and some beach gear which I put to good use. Property managers were very responsive and even provided recommendations on local kid friendly beaches.

We loved our stay. Judy and Ken met us at the house at 9:30pm. They were super kind and informative. The house was perfectly sized for the 5 of us. In addition to regular amenities, we also had umbrellas for rainy Hilo, and beach towels for beach time. The house was clean and beautifully decorated. Very tastefully beachy. Bathrooms were clean and the towels were luxurious. Shampoo, conditioner, and lotion were provided, which was unexpected but appreciated greatly. Liquid hand soap was in bathrooms and kitchen, another bonus delight. The kitchen was well-stocked of dishes and utensils. We were delighted that there were spices in the cupboards and condiments in the fridge. Maybe an electric kettle and rice cooker would be nice, but we put the microwave to good use. We were concerned that the one AC unit in the living room would not be enough, but we figured it out. Evenings were always cool, so we slept very well. The location is central to EVERYTHING. We were 30 minutes from downtown Hilo, and 45 minutes to Volcano National Park. Malama Market in Puna Kai Shopping Center is only 12 minutes away by car, if you need groceries and sundries. Also, the house is close to many farmer's markets! Judy and Ken provided a house that felt like a home for us on our first trip to Hawaii. Thank you so much. I highly recommend this listing!!!

This was our first time to the Big Island! The property was amazing…approximately 25 minutes from Hilo which allowed us a quiet place to re-group after each busy day exploring the amazing sights! The property was clean, neat, comfortable had all of the amenities for a long stay! The property managers were great folks, easy to talk to and gave us great advice on local “gem” beaches, gardens and restaurants! Would go back and use this property in a heartbeat and will certainly keep that as an option if returning to the Big Island in the future! Cannot say enough good things! David (Folsom, CA)

We flew into Hilo on a very dark and rainy night. There are very few street lights along the way to The house. ( thank goodness for google maps) We found the house and Ms Judy and her sweet Husband were waiting for us with umbrellas and a big aloha welcome. They gave us a quick tour of the property and made sure they answered all our questions. The home was equipped with all kinds of amenities . Ms Judy was amazing and friendly. Oh am blessed beyond measure to call her my friend. We are already planning our next stay! Mahalo Ms Judy!!!

This was a great place for our many Hilo adventures. The property is beautifully appointed and had everything (and more) that our family needed for our stay. The hosts were amazing and very attentive to our needs. The house is located in a nice quiet neighborhood but we could get to Hilo within 20 mins.

This is a really fantastic property. Everything is new and well thought out. The living room set up is really nice with a very comfortable sofa and a nice TCL HDR TV and LG soundbar. Plenty a indoor and outdoor space. We really enjoyed our stay and consider returning. The property managers were very attentive and gave us good recommendations for activities and dining.

We loved everything about this property in Paradise Park just 20 minutes drive from downtown Hilo. It is a beautiful new house on an acre of land.....very tastefully decorated and contains everything you need for your stay. We loved the quiet peaceful neighbourhood and enjoyed walking the area. Our very pleasant hosts lived just next door and were there on arrival to help us settle in and offered to assist with any issues(there were none!). All in all an amazing vacation place and we would definitely return with our family again. Aloha!

My family and I are not really beach people. We would rather pretend to live somewhere else than be tourists. This property was perfect for our needs. The house was wonderful; beach decor, immaculately clean, and well-stocked. The neighborhood is quiet except for the sounds of the evening frogs, morning roosters, and raindrops on tht tin roof. The location was near the hiking trails we wanted to explore and not too far from Hilo. By far, the eastern end is my favorite place on the island.

The place was perfect. The property owners were very polite. Everything went smoothly and we can not wait to come back.

We enjoyed our time at this property. It had everything you could possibly need and more. The Property Managers were very helpful and close by if needed. I would definitely stay here again. Mahalo!

The property was in the perfect location to explore Hawaii Volcano National Park! Only about a 30 min drive. The farmers market and beach were even closer!

This house is perfect for a family stay. It is emasculate, spacious, comfy and well appointed. It’s fun to stay on the Hilo side of the Island because there is so much to do! The owner and property managers are very helpful and friendly. I would stay here again in a heart beat!

This house looks and smells new. Both the indoor and outdoor areas are well thought out and beautiful. From the extra comfy couch and primary king bed to the extra thick bath towels, everything is a step up from a typical vacation home rental. We loved using the nice kitchen, having a washer and dryer, and having A/C. We only used the primary bedroom and the only "negative" was that the cooling does not really extend into there. However, two jumbo fans worked fine to keep us cooler. The home is airy and pleasant. The TV and internet service are top of the line selections and speed. We ordered groceries and supplies delivered from Target in Hilo. Nearer, Pahoa has restaurants. We went up to Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park with our daughter and son-in-law, who live in this same Hawai'ian Paradise Park, to see Kilauea smoking. The drive is easy from the house, about 45 minutes with easy traffic. If you are traveling to The Big Island, be prepared for all weather, from rainy to extra humid to cool/windy up at the volcanoes.

This beautiful home smelled and looked clean and we loved it the minute we stepped in. The supplies and furnishings are excellent, from the comfy sectional to the king bed in the primary bedroom. They go extra, such a brand-new sponge still packaged by the sink and a full soap pump by every single sink. If you're traveling to The Big Island and are unaware of the differences staying here, a few to remember: the water supply usually comes from a catchment tank. The water pressure, getting hot water, and the sounds of pipes/pump can all be quite different. Having A/C is very unusual and is the reason we chose this home. One note is that the center of the house stays wonderfully cool with the unit, but the bedrooms and laundry room are not traditionally vented for the A/C and get hotter. A dishwasher is not included, as in most vacation rentals here, so go old-school with some dishwashing (actually oddly relaxing). This home includes a beautiful grill and large table/chairs outdoors, with plenty of hanging hooks for towels and swimsuits, four beach chairs, two extra-nice beach towels, a rolling cooler, and various other beachy provisions. The kitchen came with oodles of spices and condiments left over from previous guests and much appreciated. We had groceries delivered from Target/Hilo and also bought more at the new Pahoa Malama grocery store. We asked to check in the day we looked at the home's listing and the owner/managers were so nice to get it ready last-minute for us and be flexible on the time when our dinner in Pahoa ran into long waits. The bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchen, living area, laundry area, and covered back porch are gorgeous. We paid almost twice what we're paying here for a nearby home along the ocean, but this home is much nicer. We don't have the ocean view or the pool or hot tub, but it's felt like home and we love this place.

The home is well-equipped, clean, and the landscaping and property are lovely. Had many wonderful evenings sitting on the front covered area listening to the frogs and the rain. A great spot in between Hilo, Pahoa, and the Volcanoes park. Perfect for all of our east side adventures! The owner and managers were very responsive and gave us lots of great tips on things to do with our little kids.

The home is very clean, and excellent for up to 3 couples or a family. Great covered patio for outdoor time. Nice little touches!
