About this property

Jungle Estate - 3 Cottages, 1.5 Acres and a POOL Sleeps 9

If you are dreaming of your own private tropical getaway for up to nine guests in the verdant landscapes on the east side of Hawaii Island, you've come to the right place! Jungle Estate offers three cottages spread over a 1.5 acre parcel in Hawaiian Paradise Park, just south of Hilo. Each cottage is landscaped for maximum privacy and each offers all the comforts of home. There are plenty of places to get together with your group, including the swimming pool. These three popular vacation rentals are now being offered together to accommodate more guests when families and friends are traveling together.

Jungle Villa is the largest and most posh one bedroom cottage of the group. The very private yard is surrounded by areca palm trees. The Royal Poinciana flowering tree in the middle of the yard erupts in lava red blooms parts of the year. Flowering vines, citrus trees, and bird song complete this secret garden location. There's a private swimming pool and outdoor shower to seal the deal! The bedroom features a Queen size iron frame bed and ensuite bathroom with walk-in tiled shower, walk-in closet and dual vanity sinks. The living room is large with two leather sofas, a flat screen Smart TV for streaming, free WiFi and lots of windows with garden views. The galley kitchen has everything you need for cooking local produce on the gas range. Dine inside on large dining table or pleasure in outdoor eating on the lanai table facing the backyard and pool. We also have a propane grill outside for grilling . Plenty of seating around the property gives you many spots to lounge and relax.

Jungle Bungalow is a one bedroom cottage that sleeps up to four guests, with a Queen bed in the bedroom and a sleeper sofa in the living room. The open living room and kitchen allow for ease of cooking, watching DVDs, reading or simply unwinding with the sounds of nature. The one bedroom has a Queen size bed and small closet with hangers. We provide a few beach essentials including beach towels and chairs for your adventures. The bathroom has a walk-in shower, toilet and sink. A DVD player and a few movies are available for your entertainment on a small screen. The best feature is certainly the patio with table and chairs where you can view our colorful jungle garden and sounds of birds year round. There's a washer and dryer in the laundry closet for your convenience.

Jungle Studio sits well behind Jungle Bungalow, each on a private half acre. Jungle Studio has a Queen sized bed and private bathroom with a large shower. We provide a few essentials for food preparation but please note there not a full kitchen in the Studio. Provided: coffee maker, microwave, mini-refrigerator, and dishes for 2 guests. The Studio has a lovely, private patio with table and chairs so you can relax and enjoy our jungle yard. A DVD player and a few movies are available for your entertainment on a small screen.

There's also a yoga studio on the property that serves as a detached bedroom with a full bed, bringing the maximum occupancy of the Jungle Estate to nine guests. We hope you'll consider Jungle Estate for your next Big Island visit!!

Book with confidence—this is a licensed, legal, hosted vacation rental managed by professionals with decades of local experience. Quiet, unobtrusive host resides on property and out of sight of guest quarters. Always double check that you are booking a place that is operating legally in Hawaii - no surprises, just aloha!

The property was amazing!! Homes in the area do not have air conditioning but the property has an amazing pool that lets you cool your core down. The master bathroom in the house has a big shower to cool off. It exceeded our expectations!! Thank you!!

Family getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family, including our adult daughters and their husbands spent a week at jungle estates. The setup was perfect for us. It was very cottage like and we each had our own accommodation that was well outfitted and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The location was not far from shopping, local restaurants and the beach. Would recommend!

Quaint Hideaway

In a nutshell, it was home away from home. While we were all together, we all had our own specific private space. My husband and I occupied the Villa and where we all gathered to eat…my daughter and her family occupied the Bungalow and my son and his wife occupied the Cottage. One can not ask for a more beautiful set-up and it was not far from most anything you might want to see or do. I’m so glad I chose Jungle Estates fii or e my vacation stay. Will do it again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family likes to do travel reunions. This place worked so well for my husband and I, my sister and her partner, and my mom and dad. Each couple had their own house! There was great privacy at each cottage and plenty of places to hang out together. Having a pool was great, and my sister loved the yoga studio. The location was excellent for touring the east side of the island. The host was available when we needed her. Highly recommend.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Jungle Estate was an absolutely fantastic place for our group. We could all have our own space but the ability to congregate for meals and team meetings was great. The pool was perfect, and it was used several times a day before and after racing. Communication was excellent and punctual. Nothing seemed a problem. We felt very lucky to have such a great place to call home for our time on the Big Island.

Great spot for big family gatherings

We place was perfect for our 3 family neighbor island getaway! With the multiple units it gave us enough separation and privacy but also allowed us to all get together for dinner and fun in the pool. I will say you should expect to have to clean the pool yourself because of the jungly location. My mom complained that the coqui frogs were too loud at night but I found them peaceful. My sister-in-law also said she wished there was A/C but it didn’t bother us too much because there were plenty fans. Great location for quick trips to Hilo and not too far from Volcano National Park, which was awesome! I would definitely recommend this fun little escape!

Enjoyed our stay

We were on the Big Island for my grandson's baseball tournament in Hilo. This property was 30 minutes away but worked out okay. It was nice to have enough space for my whole family. The property was very clean. We had 2 infants and was comfortable letting them crawl on the floor. The pool area and back yard was a little buggy with mosquitos but that was expected with all the vegetation. The communication with the property manager needs work. I couldn't find the pack n play and texted but no response. I found it about an hour later in one of the closets. Then on our second day, I asked if we could use the yoga studio. No response until the third day. These two incidents was not a big deal but would've appreciated a prompt response. Then on the third day we planned to grill our steaks, hotdogs, and vegetables. There were two propane tanks, one was empty and the other was frozen. I texted the problem right away and got a response that someone will be dropping off another tank. It was delivered but didn't fit the grill. By this time we managed to cook everything on the stove. This was very, very disappointing. We were allowed an early check in, that was very much appreciated. All in all, we enjoyed our stay.

Mahalo nui for your review, Dawn. We're so happy that your group enjoyed your visit to Jungle Estate. We're so sorry about the communication problems. Kekela, your on-island contact, mentioned that all of your texts came through at once, towards the end of your stay. Cell phone coverage in our remote area can be spotty for many carriers. We recommend that guests enable wifi calling on your phone as soon as they arrive. That way we will get messages right away even if your carrier doesn't work well in the area. You can always call or email us as well - we are here to help with whatever you need!! Warmest Aloha, The Salt Water Hawaii Vacations Crew Salt Water Real Estate, Hilo HI
