About this house rental

Pair the mystique of a tropical Hawaiian forest with an impeccably cared for home and you'll have Lava Rock Retreat! Catered to the traveler who wants a private oasis but desires the convenience of a central location. Lava Rock Retreat is in a quiet Hilo neighborhood with close driving access to visit dashing waterfalls, sea turtle dotted ocean parks, vibrant botanical gardens, and volcanic wonders. The architecture is reminiscent of mid-century modern design highlighting natural surroundings. We welcome you to enjoy Lava Rock Retreat, Hawaii!

As you enter Lava Rock Retreat you're greeted by walls of picture windows with verdant views of our tropical forest. The main living area boasts a soaring ceiling, cool concrete floors, and hi-tech smart home functions. Delight in three modes of coffee making from pedestrian (12-cup drip maker) to aficionado (espresso and Nespresso Vertuo makers). The kitchen is fully stocked for cooks of all levels and includes touch-sensor faucets, and every small appliance you may desire. Dine at the copper fronted bar or the dining table. The living area has a large screen Smart TV and sectional sofa (you may want to spend more time here than you imagine!). The whole house is geared with free high speed Wi-Fi internet and Alexa Smart home features.

The home sleeps up to 4 guests and is recommended for adults and older children only. Our outside areas are built around the natural pahoehoe flow of ancient lava with uneven, rocky grounds. The primary bedroom has a king sized Tempurpedic Pro-Breeze mattress with Adjustable Ergo Base and ensuite bathroom with tiled shower and heated Toto toilet seat with bidet functions. The second bedroom has a King bed 3 inch gel infused cooling memory foam topper and USB outlets on each side of the headboard. The guest bathroom also has a tiled shower and Toto toilet. There is a half bathroom near the kitchen which even includes a urinal! The bathrooms and kitchens all feature towel warmers to keep your towels dry and warm. As if this isn't enough pampering, wrap yourself in provided bathrobes after every shower, bath, and walk to the hot tub.

Outdoors you'll marvel at our lush tropical flora as you stroll through paths behind the house. The large hot tub and copper outdoor shower area also feature a lava rock privacy wall. We have created multiple outdoor seating and lounging areas which may cause you to miss planned excursions as you entirely relax in nature at your home away from home.

The jungle noises at night were so loud we had to use subtitles on the TV if we wanted to watch a show, as we didn't want to close the screened glass doors and miss out on the outdoor vibe. It was a great experience, and totally different from a resort (which we did the previous several days). We stay here again.

We loved this place so, so much. Hard to put into words how lovely and peaceful this place is. Great access to everything but you kinda just want to hang out here

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Worth every dime! I forgot how much we paid, but it was worth it. This property made us not want to leave home a couple of days. It’s tastefully decorated, well appointed, full of amenities, and peaceful. We were pleasantly surprised with the endless details, privacy and comfort. I’m an OCD type and I had zero issues. Even walked around with no shoes, left my suitcase open, and felt comfy laying on the sofa. That’s huge for me. Book this place. You won’t regret it!

We really enjoyed our stay at this unique property. We loved just sitting and looking out at the backyard which is like a tropical forest with paths available for walking, yet the property is in a neighborhood only 10 min from Hilo. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen is well appointed. The massage chair was enjoyed by all after hiking at the national park. This property is a great blend of nature and high tech with remote controlled ceiling fans and lighting in every room, high tech toilets and modern appliances. There is no air conditioning, and it was a bit hot in the afternoons, but it cooled off at night for sleeping. Check in/out was easy with the door code. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. The only negative we noticed was light filtering blinds in the main bedroom, which could be a problem for some who need the room darker in the morning hours. Also, coqui frogs sing at night (I think across most of the island). Could be white noise for some but we used our earplugs to sleep.

The lava retreat was the best place we have ever stayed! The host have thought of absolutely everything one could ever need. Going inside the house you see the back area which is not to disappoint and even better the more you explore! Comfortable beds, rooms, great sitting areas, stocked kitchen! Just 6 minutes to Hilo but feels a world away.. score 20/10 and we will absolutely return

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There are so many things to love about this home. Never have I ever loved a rental so much that I couldn't wait to get home after a day of touring. Every single detail is pure perfection. Heated toilet seats and towel bars! A massage chair! Several walls of floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a completely private rainforest with paths to explore. The outdoor double shower made of lava rock (what a treat!). Hot tub was most welcome after a long day of hiking on lava at Volcanoes National Park. Even the kitchen had high-end coffee-makers and gadgets to make you feel like you are royalty. We had breakfast on the lanai every morning, and sat out there again every evening before bed as we reflected on our day.Hilo is a hidden gem that many tourists miss. Since it is a rainforest, there are lots of waterfalls, and it is very easy to tour the volcano, drive the Upper Road to Waimea, and take the Red Road (Rte 137) to Isaac Hale State Park where the lava literally crosses the road. Easily accessible to the main strip in Hilo with shopping and the Pacific Tsunami Museum. And so much more.The spaciousness and luxurious amenities of this home create such a relaxed atmosphere that you just want to soak it in and savor every minute. Absolutely loved listening to the rain and the frogs and wildlife while drifting off to sleep. Didn’t need our sound machine here! I have already decreed to my husband that future trips to any Hawaiian island will require a quick stop in Hilo to relax at Lava Rock Retreat for a few days before heading back home to reality. If you are on the fence about renting here, do it. You’ll be glad you did.
