Cozy and lovey experience! I loved the nature around the barefoot studio. It was clean and I enjoyed the lanai to hang out at in free time.
We wanted to explore the Pahoua area and this was a good stay for that. The place is simple but very clean and functional. Kitchen is minimal but adequate for simple meals. We enjoyed listening to the birds and the couquis. We felt we were in a very private and comfortable space.

Lovely hidden gem on Hawaii. Tucked away and private but only 10 min from restaurants and 40 min to Volcanoes National Park. Very clean and spacious. Loved having our coffee out on the patio and admiring all the beautiful flowers!

Good convenient location between Keaau and Pahoa towns for grocery and dining options. Studio has its own separate area on property so there is privacy even with other units on property. About 45 minutes to drive to Volcanoes National Park and roughly 30 minutes from Hilo. Nice quiet place to spend a few nights and enjoy the rainforest sounds Puna and the coqui frogs.

Mahalo for your review, Clifford. We are so glad that you enjoyed your time at Barefoot Studio :-) We appreciate your mention of the privacy, since many guests do inquire about this. While there are 4 units, each sits on its own half acre with landscaping designed for privacy. If your travels bring you back this way please keep us in mind. We'd love to host you again!

Beautiful setting, very clean, a few uninvited guests but no worries, all good. Small refrigerator holds a few days worth of poke, side dishes and drinks. Late last night, wild pigs were at the front doorway and got into the trashcan. Nothing to be alarmed about as long as your mindful of their damagous behavior. Mahalo Jessica!

Mahalo for your review, John! We're glad you enjoyed your visit and had a chance to meet some of the local wildlife ;-) Pigs are common here in rural Hawaii (along with goats, chickens, and other critters!). Thanks for letting us know they have been coming around. We'll work on a solution to keep them out of the trash. We hope you'll keep us in mind for future visits!

Reviewer Comments:
I was on a last minute visit to Hilo for work. Everything was booked except expensive hotels so I felt very lucky to find this Studio close to Hilo. It is so cutely decorated, very clean, and the perfect amount of space for one or two people. I loved having my morning meal on the lanai surrounded by birds. The location is convenient to Hilo, Keaau and Pahoa. Definitely better than staying in a crowded hotel! And it is a GREAT value.

Our stay at this little cottage was amazing it was just right for me and my husband we considered it our belated Honeymoon since we didn’t have one after we got married almost 3 years ago. We Loved all of it the only thing I would recommend is a bigger apartment size fridge, but the next time we plan on visiting we will definitely choose the bigger one next to this one. Much Mahalo for letting us stay it was my husband’s first time to the Big Island so it was A Well spent time.

Really enjoyed my stay in this studio. It's close enough to stores/restaurants in Hilo and Pahoa, but far enough away for serenity, privacy and a beautiful night sky. It's also close to the water and I was fortunate to see whales at nearby Maku'u Point while I was there. The studio itself was clean and comfortable, with a comfortable bed, mini fridge and other supplies. Communication with the management was great and a small issue with the hot water was dealt with promptly once reported. Highly recommend!

Cute little room. Just a few things I would change.....Since there is no AC a bigger ceiling fan would definitely help to keep the room cooler. A toaster would be nice and a bigger fridge would definitely help since the room gets pretty warm and to be able to keep ice in a freezer and would be able to accommodate more perishable items. Bathroom was very nice and clean.

We had a great stay. Location was serene. we liked chickens in the distance. Bed was little rough. no air conditioner for people staying in the summer, but fine for winter months. Overall, we would definitely stay again.
