Free Private parking close by to the unitfor easy access. An area with beach and snorkle gear. Our neighborhood is away from the main highway, up a little hill in a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood with no traffic noise, yet just minutes walking to all oftown. The surrounding banyan and ficus trees give you a feeling like you could be in a tropical jungle, yet you’re right in town. This truly is a perfect spot being as close to town to walk everywhere, yet there is zero traffic. Please enjoy and see for yourself! Aloha!

Response from VrboOwner on 7 Oct 2025
In accommodating so many thousands of guests through the years, we notice that many keep all the windows closed. I would just like to clarify, that in Hawaii it is accustomed to open windows to let the cool Hawaiian breeze flow through the house. And along with ceiling and floor fans throughout the house, it then blows that cool air all throughout. As for the comment about walking distances. We have checked multiple times doing multiple routes, and we are just under 15 minutes walking to all of downtown and to a beautiful swimming beach. My young children and family do it all the time. You do have to enjoy walking, although some guests do feel it challenging and takes them longer. It really is a pleasant stroll to town, yet located in a no traffic noise and peaceful neighborhood. A perfect spot! Hope this review doesn’t deter and guests. See you in paradise, this truly is the perfect location to be at and won’t be disappointed. Aloha!

Nice big house for our group. Neighborhood is sketchy but house itself was nice. BEWARE - only portable ac unit in living room. Bedrooms super hot even with ceiling and tower fan. We had some people so hot, they slept on the couch in living room instead of the bedrooms. Had dirty sheets on 1 bed and no tv in unit.Host (property mgr) was very responsive before booking then less responsive after booking.Probably will not be staying again due to no ac unless we come in December or January.

About the host

Hosted by Jeri Macres

Host profile image

Originally from Southern California, both Jeri and Steve met here on the Big Island in the early seventies. Married since 1979, and have a son named Chris. Our love for the ocean and island life has kept us here ever since. Come and enjoy a relaxing getaway.

Why they chose this property

We love the location close to town, where the beach is just a few minutes walking distance. Shops and restaurants are endless fun, and the Farmer's Market provides local fruits and vegetables, flowers, and local gift shopping.

What makes this property unique

If you’re looking for a location in a peaceful and quiet neighborhood with zero traffic and town noise, yet just a quick walk to all of the city, you will not find anything better than this. The view from the upper floor is beautiful, with the blue water sunsets, and with a classic view of the mountainside as well. The covered downstairs patio is a place to be outside with privacy. It is a nice cool, quiet, hilltop compound, where you can relax with your group, and also have the convenience to do your own thing and walk to Starbucks, McDonald’s, or the bowling alley, and all restaurants and bars. The neighborhood is very quiet with lots of shade. It is a very unique place, which made us fall in love with it!!
