About this house rental

Enjoy indoor-outdoor living in our bright, open home... Relax on the lanai overlooking lush vegetation and lava outcrops, smell the fragrant Hawaiian air and listen to the waves crash in the distance. Secluded and quiet--a garden oasis far from the maddening crowd. Open windows allow for trade-wind ventilation throughout the home. Rainwater-harvest for showers/sinks (triple filtered), spring water for drinking in kitchen.

Our house is just a ten minute walk to the dramatic Puna cliffs and two miles from the trailhead to the only non-black sand beach in Puna, Ha'ena/Shipman. It is a 10 mile unpaved drive (Gov't Beach Rd) to the old Kapoho area and our newest black-sand beach (created since 2018 eruption).

The jungalow is located 16 miles from Hilo airport, four miles makai (toward sea) of HWY 130, five miles to nearest mini-market or 8 miles to Pahoa, and 20 to Volcanos National Park. This is a quiet and secluded area., but it is a jungle out there, so be prepared for wild fowl, coqui, gekkos, some insects and rain. The Jungalow is wide open for natural ventilation and trade winds (no air conditioner). Quiet hours are from dusk to dawn. Owners and 2 cats live on property in a separate unit at the back of the property. Two cars maximum. Ring security camera facing driveway.. 🤙

We enjoyed our stay at the Jungalow. It was very quiet compared to several other places we stayed at closer to Hilo (no dogs barking, no car noise, a lot less coquis, and only 1 rooster.) The lanai was a beautiful place to read a book and sip coffee. The futon area off the second bedroom was larger than it seemed in the pictures, and was a perfect place for kids, teens, or those who wanted to watch TV. The house has lots of light too. Our host was very responsive, when needed. We loved the cats, but had to be sure to keep the doors closed or they enjoyed visiting inside. The property was well-maintained. Our only issue was there is minimal pots, pans, and cooking utensils, so come prepared. (one pot meals worked the best for us.) We would definitely stay here again.

Steve's VRBO house was located in a quiet neighborhood just a 10 minute walk to the ocean where we watched the sunrise while waves crashed onto black rocks. His house had many cozy spots to relax but we especially enjoyed the porch hammock swings and eating breakfast at the sunny porch table. We also liked the open layout of the kitchen, dining room and living room areas for our family food preparation. The house was well located for our daily adventures including hikes at Volcanoes National Park and along the coast to the north of Hilo. We also liked that we were only a half hour drive from the airport and our favorite park near Hilo: Carlsmith Beach Park where we swam and saw a green sea turtle. Our host Steve communicated well with us and supplied everything we needed to make us feel at home.

Great house for 2 couples with plenty of room. The garden was lovely with lots of birds. You can hear the ocean surf.

Overall this is a great place to stay if you are planning your trip to include hiking and exploring. My family would go out and adventure and then come back to rest and play games. The place was cozy and we loved the extra wildlife noises. The beds were super comfy and our communication with the owner could not have been better. The only problems we came to were some updates in the kitchen, some odd consistency in the decor, and the water heat. However, we made due during our short stay and our visits by Goldie the cat made up for everything.

It was only myself that stayed in the home, but it was wonderful. I love the covered porch, screened in porch, the landscape around the house, and the birds and frogs calling. The house had everything I needed and was in good working order. I did not have to contact Steve about any issues, so I don't have a good idea about how he would respond; however, the fact I didn't have to contact him reflects the quality of care of the property. I was really pleased that he alerted me to the fact that the Kilauea volcano had erupted. I would highly recommend the property.

The home was as described. It was clean, beautifully landscaped, and a nice place to return to after a day of hiking and exploring the area. We enjoyed falling asleep to the chorus of frogs and waking up to the roosters. The resident cats helped fill in the void of missing our own pets. Highly recommended!
