A unique and beautiful home

It took us more than a few hours to get used to this. We arrived in the middle of the afternoon so the non-airconditioned house was very warm. But later on after dinner and showers, we noticed that the many powerful fans and windows worked their magic. Even the many pretty loud night sounds, (yes that means you Coqui frogs) managed to lull us to sleep each night. - John & Lisa L.

Beautiful and affordable stay

I'm a year overdue in reviewing, but I promise I have a good reason! We stayed here from 1/16/16-1/23/16 for our honeymoon and had the most WONDERFUL experience. We stayed in The Bali house and it was unique, comfortable and beautiful. We loved going to the nearby snorkeling area and down to the local bar (it's been a year, I can't remember the name - the kava bar?.. but it's just down the street a ways and YES it does have alcohol!). We will forever hold a special place in our hearts for The Bali house because we also conceived our first child here! One year later and we now have a beautiful 3 month old little girl. We hope one day we can come back. Thank you for being wonderful hosts!

The Bali House across from Kehena Beach is beautiful. Truly a magical, relaxing, remote getaway. Exactly what we were looking for to celebrate our 40th anniversary. The house had everything one would need and then some. Beach chairs, ice chest, books, DVDs, and coffee filters. It's obvious the owners take great pride in making sure every detail has been thought of for a great experience. The communication was very informative, and the check-in/out process was very easy. Mahalo to Tim and Iliahi for sharing your home with us. P.S. Tim - thank you for leaving the freshly cut coconuts on our doorstep. They were a yummy surprise on our anniversary when we came back from the beach! Charlie & Gale

Paradise in Pahoa

Where do I start? This home is so beautiful with surreal surroundings and everything you need! There were only 2 of us during our stay but this home could certainly work for families or multiple couples. The waves lulled us to sleep every night and the sound of the rain was a major bonus! The home is fully stocked to cook full meals and so cozy that you can easily spend days/nights there. It was very hard for us to leave to venture out!! The owners are so sweet and you can really feel the love for their home and their guests. We loved every second being there - the trees and greenery, the hot tub, the stone shower, having coffee on the lanai, meditating in the garden, the sounds of the frogs at night, and even the beautiful geckos! If you're looking for a traditional hotel- this probably won't be a great fit for you - but if you really want to indulge in the beauty and energy of Pahoa, this place is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!

Property infested with Feral cat colony, lizards, and mosquitos

When my wife and I arrived at the property for our honeymoon, we immediately noticed an awful smell. After speaking with the property managers husband, we learned the smell (and pieces of poo scattered throughout outside of the property) was from a feral cat colony that has decided to make the property their home. This was a major issue since my wife has severe cat allergies. After staying at the property for about an hour, her breathing began to get worse and the itchiness began. We left about 1-2 hours after we arrived because we could not stand it anymore. The property has no AC, so all the windows would have to be open and have the fans on. This allowed for the smell of cat poo to enter the property anytime there was a gust of wind (and with the ocean being right there, that was all the time). Since the windows stayed open, lizards and mosquitos had made their way into the home. A lizard was on the internet router on the wall and would occasionally run around on the walls, and the amount of mosquitos inside the home, we were constantly getting bit. One of the beds even had a mosquito net over it so you don’t get bit as much at night. Don’t get me wrong, the house was beautiful, but because of the feral cat colony and their excrement, the lizards, and the mosquitos, it was definitely a waste of a chunk of money which was not refunded, except for the cleaning fee. If you’re torn between getting this property or staying at a resort, I would suggest staying at the resort and saving yourself thousands, mosquito bites, and the possibility of disease from the feral cats and their fecal matter.

Great Getaway

This property is very unique in the southeast corner of the Big Island. It definitely feels like you've stepped into a Bali house! The photos are accurate, and in some ways don't reflect the feeling of being in nature that actually exists. With geckos aplenty and the nightly serenade of common Coqui frogs (that sound like chirping birds with their pleasant tones); occasional nighttime rain storms on the tin roof; and distant waves crashing on the rocks across the road, it is definitely a tropical vacation. The one bathroom/shower has plenty of room, while the kitchen is small but functional. The beds and linens are comfortable! We refrained from a 5-star review because of a few unexpected surprises: 1) The Internet worked for the first 24 hours, but the rest of our stay it was intermittent at best. As a result, we were able to watch the equivalent of three-quarters of one movie on the in-house Roku system (using our Amazon account). That proved frustrating. While our cell phones were able to get texts and emails, phone service was spotty. 2) The neighbors are much closer on either side of the house than photos suggest. However, both neighbors were quiet and respectful. The point is, it's not as remote as we had thought--probably our misinterpretation of the listing. 3) The beach across the (fairly busy) street is indeed beautiful, but not remote. It was filled with locals and tourists throughout our weeklong stay. And, to top it off, it's a nudist beach. Whoah! Didn't expect that. Thus, for us, it made going to the beach and enjoying the black sand and water challenging and uncomfortable. There are, however, others spots in Hilo (30 mins north) where swimming or sunbathing is not a problem. 4) If you want to eat out, expect at least a 20-minute drive north to Pahoa. And unfortunately, half the restaurants are still only allowing for take-out.

Perfect Spot to Unwind

Our stay on Hawaii Island was wonderful. The Balinese style was unique. The location of the house across from a beautiful black sand beach was perfect. We walked to the beach with our morning coffee enjoying the sunrise and then again after our return from being out and about. The climb down can be a bit difficult especially after the rain, so be careful. Point to note, you will encounter people who are nude as this is an optional clothing beach. The fans and the breezes kept the house comfortable. I can see why the owners requested you take off your shoes; black sand can get everywhere. The rain shower was great to wash everything off you from top to bottom. We prepared several meals at home instead of eating out. The kitchen layout allowed the two of us to be in there together. The whole area lost electrical power on the day we were leaving. The owners were very gracious in allowing us to stay past checkout to clean up when power returned, but we had to catch a flight so we couldn’t enjoy their hospitality.

Relaxing, quiet spot in paradise

The Bali house was a great place to stay. Very clean and quiet. If you haven’t stayed in this area before you need to know it’s remote, which we love. Bring your supplies before arriving as the nearest town is about 20-30 minutes away. We have stayed in the area multiple times and the Bali house offers great views of the ocean and quick access to the clothing optional beach. At night it’s nice to listen to the frogs and the ocean with very little artificial noise to interrupt. I would stay here again.

Aloha! We call the Big Island Home! As a Native to the Hawaiian Islands, my husband and I fell in love with this area for it's remote beauty & charm. You can really connect with the Aina and feel the Mana around you. We made the house open to our guest after years of living here. We love Hosting Guests from all over the world and making new friends. We are a Licensed STVR in the State and County of Hawaii and we also live in the same area, so no worries. We greet all our Guests and treat them like our own Ohana!

Mahalo again for giving us this opportunity and we look forward to Hosting you and become part of our Ohana today!

Why they chose this property

We love the Puna area for it's remote beauty, green forest, rugged coast and deep pacific blue waters. We love the east side of the Big Island as we experience no Vog due to our constant Easterly trade-winds and we experience less rainfall than Hilo. Our area is also known for it's Sunny days and Rainy nights one of the reasons why it is so green and lush. It is one of the most beautiful areas in the Hawaiian Island chain. This place holds so much History of the Hawaiian People and is sacred. This is Pele's Home! This area feels like old Hawaii, full of Beauty ,Tradition, friendly people and the Aloha Spirit truly Lives here!

Malama Pono!

What makes this property unique

Built in Bali, imported and assembled back in Hawaii, it truly is a Unique and Exotic design, almost like living in a Work of Art! The many details and handcrafted design and imported woods throughout. Many additions, plants, trees, flowers, stone gates and bamboo fencing were added thru the years.
It is the Perfect Getaway for Lovers young and old. We are Honored and Pleased to offer our Guest the Bali House and Cottage and share with them the same experience we had while living in it.

Aloha and E Komo Mai!
