Stayed Dec 1, 2023Many of the amenities listed were not available and were discouraged - such as a toaster or hair dryer. We were prepared for a rustic stay but the gecko poop on all of the furnishings and kitchen facilities was disappointing. Also, the cockroaches and mice were not great either. By the time we left we had cleaned up a lot of the place and it was a great area. Close to the water and not too far of a drive to town. You do need a car. The caretaker was mostly helpful and lives on the property.

Stayed May 14, 2023I am very grateful for the valuable time and effort placed into a home to be used to help share one of the most beautiful places I get to visit on this earth. I did not cook much- my budget afforded me the local eats on the island. We visited the hot springs about 15 minutes from the house, we went to Hilo and ziplined the KoleKole. One night we stayed on the other side of the island- much busier! There we went hiking and snorkeling at Captain Cook and saw Volcano National Park. We did a dinner cruise and snorkeled with manta rays. I followed my spirit and went with the flow and I am painfully back home trying to keep that energy going in my daily life. I hope to one day return- the bed was comfortable, the shower was awesome, the plants and animals and the overall happiness of the area made this unforgettable and I will forever be grateful.

Stayed Jan 1, 2023Nice little cozy spot away from the big city. The only down side was that it's a bit of a drive to some of the ocean activities that we had planed. Otherwise we enjoyed it.

Stayed Dec 25, 2022The Sweet Spot was a great experience. An old- the-grid spot away from the hustle and bustle of life with the sounds of nature. (My man thought it was loud at night but I loved it…natures white noise machine!) Lots of unique decor from around the world that gave the spot a very authentic feel. We really enjoyed the large lanai for coffee in the morning and drinks in the evenings. The property Nene came up to visit everyday which was awesome!! The outdoor shower isn’t for everyone, but we quite enjoyed it to round out the experience. Also, note that you need to drive a bit to get to destinations so if you don’t want to drive a lot I’d recommend something closer to town. Checkin and checkout instructions were minimal but we just winged it and all is good. Michael was quick to respond to my messages and the property managers were an easy message away if we needed anything. Overall, I’d recommend staying at the Sweet Spot for an authentic stay on the island!! Mahalo Michael for your hospitality!

Stayed Dec 31, 1969This is a special property: no resorts or fancy shopping near by. This is a quiet neighbourhood with local markets, home-grown produce, weekly drumming gatherings, and ride sharing. The property descriptions are accurate. The house had everything we needed with an inside-outside living arrangement and resident outdoor friendly cat. We spent a lot of time relaxing on the deck, had our morning coffee in the screened-in kitchen, and loved the bird and frog calls. Living off of the grid means awareness of sunshine so plenty of hot water was available later in the day for the outdoor shower. This is a true get away from it all kind of vacation. There are several used book stores in Hilo so stock up.

Stayed Jul 1, 2019If you enjoy off grid living surrounded by beautiful plants and birds, this is the place for you. The kids especially enjoyed catching and releasing frogs and geckos. We had a wonderful time.
