The property was clean and well stocked. You have laundry machine but you need yo hsng clothes on clothesline. Beds are very comfortable. The house only has one window ac. It is cool enough at night you only need a fan with the windows open. I really enjoyed the secluded location away from city life. Our host was great and very responsive to our needs. I would recommend the property and stay here again.

Off the beaten path, this rental is in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood just six blocks from the ocean. It had everything we needed to enjoy our time on the eastern side of Hawaii. The owner was friendly and responsive throughout the entire rental experience.

Amazing place in the middle of the rain forest! We really enjoyed our stay here and the hosts were very responsive. We definitely plan to come back and would recommend it to everyone wanting to experience a real life jungle, complete with neat little singing frogs and wild pigs. :)

The rooms were clean. Check in and out was easy. There’s no AC but it’s in the 60-70s at night. It was a good location for trips to Hilo and the volcano.

A great place to stay!

We absolutely loved Robert and Lina’s place. Comfortable in size, well equipped kitchen, a fantastic back deck and a location convenient to the southern part of the island. Would definitely stay again!

Great house to stay in for some relaxation on the east side of the island. Location was 30-35 minutes from Hilo, but no problems navigating all around the east side. And there were some wonderful restaurants nearby!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this home. Communication was excellent always (before arrival & during). We could not get the Television to work even though instructions were left. After leaving a message on the App there was a response very soon after I sent it and the owners arranged for a lovely gentleman to contact us by phone and then came out to take a look. It turned out it was the batteries were not working in the remote, which we suspected. I recommend this home for anyone looking for tranquil environment with space and good amenities. As I said “We thoroughly enjoyed our stay” and would return again. So thank you very much for great communication and your hospitality. Mahalo from Liz, Cindy & Scarlet.

Solid Place to Stay

This property is exactly as advertised. It is a little of the beaten path but sitting on the lanai is very relaxing. We made steaks on the grill and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Nice space

This was a great space for all of us to stretch out and be comfortable after a full day of exploring. The nature sounds were peaceful and easy to go to sleep to. The lanai was amazing!
