The grounds are beautiful and the area is such a relaxing place to stay. I would recommend staying here.

Jennifer & Jeff are gracious hosts. I was never for want and had zero complaints. It’s a gorgeous property. Grateful I choose the right VRBO during my time on the Big Island.
5.0
First and foremost, the grounds are stunning! Jennifer (host) put a lot of thought and intention in the landscaping and it shows. Wow. It was nice to just wander the property.
The hosts greeted us upon our arrival and checked in on us every day with lots of useful information.
The rental studio itself feels brand new. Everything in it was like new, from the towels to the dishes, even some of the furniture. It was also spotlessly clean. Even though we weren't the first people to stay here, it felt like it!
There were books, games, a ukelele, and other items to entertain us while we were at the rental. But best of all was just sitting outside and enjoying the view of the grounds.
The location is a little bit of a drive from both Hilo and VNP. But realistically, anywhere you stay on the Big Island, you're going to have to drive. Everything is far from everything else. So we don't count it as a minus unless you're doing multiple days at VNP or doing many activities in Hilo itself.
But for a visit to the south/east side of BI, this was a perfect location and perfect studio! Thank you Jennifer and Jeff.

The property was very nice. The chickens could be bother to some people, but not me.

This property and guest house was the perfect retreat for our trip while exploring the Hilo side of the island. Everything exceeded our expectations. The house was immaculate and spacious. Jeff and Jennifer were very kind and accommodating hosts. They made sure the guest house was fully stocked with kitchen supplies, sunscreen, beach chairs and coolers, and laundry detergent. We wish we could've stayed longer!

Everything was perfect. The hosts were welcoming.

This property fully deserves its near-perfect reviews. Plenty of space for our family of four, utilizing the pull-out futon and air mattress. Our kids loved the koi pond, finding giant frogs and snails around the lawn, and waking up to a rooster crowing. No air conditioning, but ceiling fans and open windows kept the unit cool enough even in June. Idyllic location, relatively short drive to Volcanoes NP or anything else on Hilo side. Very well stocked including full cabinet of beach gear. Friendly and helpful hosts. We hope to visit again someday.

Everything about this property was beautiful and perfect; exactly as described. The hosts were kind and communicative, landscape was gorgeous, and home was spotless and welcoming. We enjoyed a very comfortable night’s rest and would 10/10 stay here again! Mahalo!

Jeff & Jennifer are outstanding hosts! They have made cottage feel like home. The grounds are beautiful, loved hearing the chickens and watching the sunrise every morning! We highly recommend this cottage as a home base for your stay on the Big Island. Thank you for sharing your Hawaiian Hideaway!

Although we only stayed for a couple of nights, we had a wonderful stay. There was easily enough room for all four of us and it was stocked with everything we needed - even more than what we were able to take advantage of during our time. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, and it'd be a great base for exploring the Hilo area longer than we did!

Our stay was fantastic, we had everything we needed for our first visit and tour of the island! We are so grateful for the opportunity to stay at the guesthouse!

We stay 2 nights at Jennifer’s guest house with family of 4. It was such beautiful guest unit by the main house with very comfortable beds and plenty of room to spend quality time with love ones. Plus they gorgeous share their huge backyard with guests to enjoy and stargazing (if weather permits) . We had a lovely time and hosts are wonderful and very responsive. Will love to stay again next trip.

We chose to stay at Jennifer & Jeff’s property while on the Big Island, after coming from Oahu. It was the perfect, serene , quiet, vast location we needed. The home itself was the perfect size for our family (2 adults, 2 children). They had everything we needed to relax, do laundry, cook and explore. It was probably the best and most thought out VRBO I have stayed at. We loved it and would return in a heartbeat. Jennifer & Jeff were so kind and welcoming, but also left us to do our own thing. The kids LOVED staying here. We also felt like we were in an amazing location to get to all of our destinations on the east side of the island.

Excellent! I loved the frogs and the birds! So well decorated and had absolutely everything you could need.

We loved everything about our stay! Easy booking, clear instructions made for easy check-in, and the place was even more gorgeous than the pictures. Everything was clean and we really appreciated all the little extra things provided like beach chairs and coolers. The property was beautiful and relaxing, we enjoyed our coffee in the garden each morning. Jeff and Jen were so incredibly kind and welcoming. We are looking forward to booking again!

Jeff and Jennifer’s place was so wonderful! The pictures don’t do it justice. The landscape is breathtaking, the accommodations were perfect, clean and very comfortable. We left our windows open all night and listened to the frogs and birds all around us. We took day trips out to Hilo, and Volcanoes National Park. We also went down to the end of the road one morning and caught the sunrise. Perfect beginning to our trip! Thank you Jeff and Jennifer. We highly recommend this property.
5.0
I contributes to be impressed with each new thing I discovered. Not only is this place beautiful and the communication with the host fantastic but they’ve thought of every possible way to make you feel welcome and to take care of you if you forgot something from beach gear and cold packs for picnics (and condiments) to hygiene products and books to read. I highly recommend this place!
5.0
We were extremely comfortable here for a week. The garden is lovely to look out on. It was a great jumping off point to visit anything on the Hilo side, and especially for Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Jeff & Jennifer were very responsive to all of our questions and had a great guide book ready for us as well that was up to date and so useful. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook simple meals for ourselves (which we mostly did), including some basic condiments, flour, sugar, and a few spices. It was also convenient (20-30 minute drive) to a string of local beaches where the snorkeling was as good or better than anywhere else we went on our vacation. Of course, they had snorkels, boogie boards, and chairs at the ready for us to borrow. We really wanted for nothing during the week. If I were heading to that side of the island again, I would definitely rebook.

Thank you! We had the most amazing, relaxing time at this property! We needed a quiet, peaceful vacation and we got it! If you’re looking for a place to stay in Hilo… stay here! Thank you for every small detail and for sharing your beautiful home!

A great first trip to the Big Island! We strategically stayed on the Hilo side for closer proximity to Volcanoes National park and Punalu'u Black sand beach. We were also able to get an early start and made a day trip to Muana Kea summit as well as the Kona side. This guest house, thanks to Jeff and Jennifer's attention to detail, has ABSOLUTELY everything you can think of for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. Impeccably clean, very nice furnishing & finishes and just a beautiful property overall. Thanks for sharing with our family!
5.0
Where to start. This place was amazing from the second we pulled up to the second we left. We started our trip on the Hilo side and we were greeted by the owners. Very kind people. We followed the tiki lined path to our perfect little guest house.
When we woke up the next day we couldn’t believe how stunning the property is, pictures just don’t do it justice. The coqui frogs sing you to sleep every night and the koi fish pond is so relaxing to sit by.
They have every thing you hate buying on vacations. Coffee, tea, sugar, spices, ziploc bags, beach chairs, coolers, snorkeling stuff, umbrellas, beach towels. Everything.
Jeff and Jennifer are so kind and you can feel the pride and love that they have in their property. They pay attention to the little details you don’t get when a company manages your rental. The windows are shaded out where you can see their home so it felt very private. One of the cleanest properties we’ve ever stayed at.
Probably our favorite VRBO we've ever stayed in!!
5.0
Stayed for 3 nights. It was a quick, stressful business trip and needed to be near the Hilo Area.
The moment when I entered the property, I felt right at home as if everything on the property was waiting for me. I sensed the love and care floating around the entire property. Staying at this guest house was as enjoyable and satisfying as when I stayed at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel in different ways. Highly recommended.
Thank you, Jeff and Jennifer.

We loved our stay here for 4 nights. It was the perfect spot to accumulate to the time change in this peaceful setting. The bed was SUPER comfy and cozy. They provided a bunch of beach gear or cooler and chairs.
I would love to come back on a future trip. Thank you jennifer and Jeff for sharing your location with us

We spent 5 nights here. The accommodations were even nicer than we were expecting. The hosts are very thoughtful with the items they have provided. We had everything we needed. The grounds are as beautiful in person as the pictures. It was a good home base to explore this side of the island. Mahalo to Jeff & Jennifer.

My wife and I had an amazing time. The location ended up being perfect for us as we spent most of the time exploring the island. The guesthouse was full of anything we needed and the yard was beautiful. Perfect for our weekend getaway!

Absolutely adorable little guesthouse! Secluded location. Private covered patio looks out over beautiful yard and koi pond. Hosts were super nice and very welcoming. House was well stocked, clean and comfortable. We would recommend this property to anyone looking for a cozy get away from the resorts and busier parts of the big island.

You expect an apartment and get a whole house! The location is approximately 30 minutes south of Hilo, the house is beautiful with wooden floors and really spacious! You will find everything you need! The hosts are very friendly and helpful! The surrounding garden is spectacular, as well as the koy pond! At night you will enjoy a concert of frogs and birds from the nearby forest, the whole garden is lit by electrical torches and you will even call a terrace your own! We enjoyed every minute at this location and would immediately book it again!

This was really one of the best vacation rental house experiences we have ever had. Jeff and Jennifer were so kind and accommodating, and the location is gorgeous. The house was extremely well stocked and we were happy to find a few snacks on our arrival as well. Would 100% recommend and will hopefully come back for another stay sometime.

Well-appointed guest house on a gorgeous property. Very clean, super quiet, beautiful porch/outdoor area, kitchen has everything you could need, bed is very comfortable. Was just myself and my husband this trip, and the space was perfect for the two of us.
Location is convenient for getting in and around Hilo and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, along with local beaches. We met the hosts here and there while coming and going, they were awesome, very friendly and had good suggestions for the area. There's info in the house about just about everything you could want to know - we chose several restaurants from the list provided and they were great.
Many thanks to the hosts for a lovely experience!
5.0
Wonderful Guest house with relaxing setting. During our short stay we enjoyed dinners/breakfasts on the patio with soothing sound of the pond in the background. Well appointed with everything you could think of.
Thrilled to have a cooler to use for the long day trips to Volcano National Park and Black Sand beaches. And a backup snorkel mask as well.
Easy access, insightful host with great suggestions based on experience in the area.
5.0
Jeff and Jennifer were so accommodating and awesome. Arrived from Oahu at noon and allowed us to drop off luggage at VRBO so that we could then return to Hilo Town to do a lot of shopping.
After three days of early morning to late night days at UH Hilo, coming to Jeff and Jennifer’s VRBO allowed us to unwind, bathe, rest, and be recharged for the next day! The coqui frogs lulled us to sleep and the cool morning rain greeted us when we woke up.
Have to do this two more years and hoping Jeff and Jennifer’s VRBO will be available for us to stay at when those times come around.
Mahalo Piha!

This was our first time to Hawaii. We Loved the place soooo much especially my grown up kids. It is beautifully decorated, well maintained and clean. The cottage has everything you will ever need if you just want to stay at property and enjoy the paradise Or want to go out to beaches or volcano. We had full access to snorkling kits, Ice Box, Beech chairs and other things. Kitchen is fully loaded. Jeff and Jen are amazing. They are very easy going and friendly. Both of them do lot of work to keep property maintained. I wish we can also maintain our much smaller backyard like them :). My kids also bonded with them. They gave awesome advice of what to do, when to do etc and are very prompt in responding to chat messages. They stopped us to visit volcano national park in late evening as no activity was going on and recommended us to visit Isaac Hale park. It was awesome drive and awesome location. We would 500% stay here during our next trip. We will plan to come back for seeing Volcano sometime next year. Thank You for letting us stay at your property.
