The pleasant and quiet home and area were a perfect retreat from the crowds at Merrie Monarch. We had perfect weather and the drive from Hilo was gorgeous. We enjoyed shopping for toffee and jam nearby. Thanks for sharing your place with us!
Excellent experience! Lived hearing all the wildlife. We got scared the last day because it rained and the uphill parking was very slippery, but luckily nothing bad happened. Great paradise find!
We much enjoyed the views and our family dinners from the wrap around deck. The house has a middle of the rainforrest feel, yet is resonablt close to Hilo and various west coast activities with 2 outfitters aprox 2 miles away. We will missthe rainforrest sounds!
Amazing property with great views. We loved sitting on the 2nd floor deck and listening to the birds. We had been given an AWD suv with poor tread on the front tires and it was not able to make it up the driveway. The driveway has a pretty good slope and a significant amount of moss on the ground. The day we arrived our car hit the moss and the tires started spinning. Again, I'm not saying this was all due to the driveway. Long story short, the car was stuck on the driveway and the rental company came and switched out the car with a car with good tires and 4x4. We had not issues after that. If we come back to the island we would definitely stay here again but would make sure to have 4x4 just for our own comfort.
The property was exceptionally clean and well maintained throughout. The check in instructions were clear and concise, making the entire process seamless. My family felt comfortable and relaxed during our entire stay. We would definitely book this property again and highly recommend it to friends and family.
We really enjoyed our stay in Honomu. The home is comfortable and well appointed. Sitting on the second floor balcony and enjoying the forest scenery as well as the ocean in the distance was a highlight. The cool air was refreshing and kept the home a comfortable temperature. We appreciated having laundry facilities available and used the kitchen daily. The day geckos were fun to watch scurrying around. At night, the coqui frogs were quite vocal. If the windows are open, one may want to use ear plugs. The sound only bothered one of the four in our group, and the rest thought it was delightful. We used the location as a home base to visit Hilo, nearby waterfalls, beaches, and the local zoo. The Hamakua Toffee shop is not to be missed. While the home is a bit off of the beaten track, that is a big part of its charm. It was a relaxing place to get away.
The house is amazing! It is tastefully furnished, comfortable and spacious. The kitchen is very well equipped. The absolute highlight is the porch, where we were waving breakfast and dinner and gather in the lounge chairs, even when it was raining. The sounds of the rainforests, the frogs and birds are exotic and fascinating! This was one of the most extraordinary places we ever rented and we would recommend it to everyone who wants to indulge in Hawaian atmosphere and landscape. Chris is a very helpful host, easy to reach, flexible and supportive.
We loved our stay at this magical place. The circular design was so interesting, and the 360-degree deck provided spectacular views of the surrounding jungle and even the ocean in the distance. The house sits on several acres and has trees all around, so it feels very secluded. We could hear the birds and other animal sounds at night that made it seem like we were in a jungle.The two bedrooms downstairs are spacious and have their own attached bathrooms. The upstairs bedroom is pretty tiny, but opens into the main living room and kitchen area, so each has its perks. I love the beautiful cedar and redwood construction. The washer and dryer worked great, and we used the grill to make stakes one night.The driveway is very steep. Our minivan made it up without any problem, but it can be slippery if you walk down it. We walked a little ways to the little waterfall on the property. It had rained, so the path was muddy and we had to push some brush aside to get through, but that was fun.I loved eating breakfast on the upper deck while looking out over the gorgeous views in the mornings. So nice!
Although our schedule only allowed us to stay for one night, I wish we were able to stay longer! The views from both floors of the property was amazing. There was a private waterfall on the property and the hike to it was so cool! I loved stargazing at night - I've never seen the sky so dark - we could even see the entire Milky Way! And sleeping at night to the sounds of the nature made it feel like we were in the middle of a jungle. The house was a great set-up with the wrap-around deck. Well stocked and had everything we needed. 10/10 would highly recommend.
