Very spacious and place was clean and very quiet on a dead end street. Orange tree was a great treat in the back yard. They were great snacks. Large enough for 2 cars to park. Away from town or traffic congestion. minuted away from shopping.Only one slight negative was the down stairs had a musty smell from all the damp rain they were getting and windows being closed up for so long.Very damp downstairs. Purchased 3 moisture collection boxes and air fresheners to help with the small.Other than that it was a nice place.

Beautiful home with lots of privacy

My family stayed in this home for a month and it exceeded our expectations. The home was everything we expected and more. The house is at the end of a dead end street and is super quiet and private. The home was stocked with everything we needed plus more. Would recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Lots of wildlife.

We especially enjoyed this property because it backs up to the jungle. So many birds and wildlife roamed around. The many fruit trees were also welcomed.

Relaxing stay

Relaxing stay for a rainforest retreat. Lots of space; we enjoyed the downstairs with comfortable couch and TV after long days. Appreciated that there were plenty of toiletries and towels. Host also provided water bottles which was a nice touch. Excellent washer/dryer as well. Communication was great.

Spacious accommodations close to Hilo and Volcanoes National Park

We were a group of six friends vacationing at Big Island, and stayed at Hilo for three nights. The accommodation here was spacious, in a quiet neighbourhood, and midway between Hilo and Volcanoes National Park. The host was very accommodating and got us items that were either missing or had run out. We had a nice stay.

Spacious property close to Hilo and Volcanoes National Park

A group of six of us stayed here for three nights. The property is very spacious with one bedroom at the top level (with a king bed) and two bedrooms on the bottom (with two queen beds) and very comfortable. The neighbourhood is quiet (although the coqui frogs sure were loud), and the location is convenient to both Hilo, and the Volcanoes National Park. The host was very accommodating and got us items that were either missing or had run out. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Country living

The write up for the property is accurate. I really liked the location, it was ideal for getting around and seeing the sites without too much driving. There’s also good food options around Pahoa. The lack of A/C was hard for us just because it makes the inside more humid and attract more pests. There’s also a lot of wildlife singing their songs at night.

Disappointing Stay with Safety Concerns

The property description was accurate regarding the space, but many other aspects were misleading. While the yard was lovely, we encountered issues with the neighbors, who made it clear that they did not want us there. We experienced yelling and felt unsafe, with their dog barking incessantly at our children while they issued threats, such as telling us their dogs would jump the fence at our children who were not instigating anything. Phrases like 'get out' and 'go home' were directed at us multiple times.Additionally, the condition of the property itself was disappointing. The cleanliness was subpar, with dirty furniture that was either broken or worn. When raising the blinds, we found dead bugs—lots of them—on every windowsill, and there was food residue all over the cabinets in the kitchen. One of the beds had a mattress that sagged significantly in the middle, and the bedding was cheap and quite old.Traveling all the way from California with five children on a tight budget, we found ourselves unable to relocate, especially during the holiday season. We are very disappointed with VRBO and Evolve for not adequately vetting or representing this property, leading to a distressing experience overall.

Relaxing stay

The property is very comfortable and spacious. We stayed upstairs and our adult children stayed downstairs. We enjoyed the Netflix entertainment on both tv screens. We spent time visiting Kalapana and Hawaii Volcanoes NP. We saw lava.

Great location for our Work-cation

We used this rental while getting the feel of the island. We visited Hilo, Kona, and Volcano National Park. We worked from the rental in the morning and went visiting different areas in the early afternoons. Plenty of space for the grandparents, us, and our two kids. The property manager was great. He sent us nearby attractions and shopping areas. And thoughtfully dropped off a can opener when I said one was needed. The only room for improvement is the need of some boogie boards, and some more screens around the upper lanai as the bugs came out in the evenings and it was hard to enjoy that area.
