Lava Rock Retreat - Impeccable Comfort in Hilo!

The jungle noises at night were so loud we had to use subtitles on the TV if we wanted to watch a show, as we didn't want to close the screened glass doors and miss out on the outdoor vibe. It was a great experience, and totally different from a resort (which we did the previous several days). We stay here again.

The owner has thought of everything you could ever want in a VRBO. Large sliding glass doors in the main living area look into lush plants and trees- the beauty of that side of Hawaii.Gorgeous kitchen with quite a few small appliances i.e.3 different ways to make coffee. Beautiful bathrooms must be new.Thank you owner and manager!

Host was great, house was super clean and the grounds are amazing! Truly enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

The house and amenities were exceptional. I didn’t realize the owner was staying on property in a different home, however, they were lovely to interact with. The home is tech-heavy while being immersed in nature and the landscape around it. We would stay here again.

Amenities were great. The backyard nature walk was great. The hostess was very amenable and was always anxious to help.

House in excellent condition, grounds immaculate and extensive

We spent days hiking and exploring in all directions and it was great to come back to a hot tub and comfy beds...not to mention all the spectacular features. It is everything promised and more!

This house is the perfect rental. Besides being stunningly beautiful, the owner’s have made sure you have absolutely everything you need to make your stay special. We stayed for my mom’s 80th birthday, so I wanted a special house and we certainly got one. The moment we stepped in we were impressed by the beauty of the house and the setting. Outside there is lush landscaping with garden paths, outdoor shower and hot tub. Inside is beautifully designed for comfort and relaxation. The kitchen does not lack a thing for any kind of cooking you want to do. The bathrooms have heated bidet toilets and heated towel racks. The beds were comfortable and we all slept well. It’s about 10 minutes from all the great restaurants in Hilo. We had a great stay and did not want to leave. Thank you for sharing this amazing house!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was lovely. It was clean, well-stocked, and thoughtfully laid out with furniture, amenities, and technology. The rental company communicated well, and we loved the hot tub, outdoor shower, and trails in the backyard. There is no air conditioning and we happened to be there during a few very warm days in August. While the evenings cooled down nicely, even with windows open and fans blowing, the temperature inside was warm well into the night, since there is no cross ventilation at the house. It was a small inconvenience among everything else being near perfect at the house.

We have rented at least 20 homes in Hawaii on almost all the islands and this house is #1! The quality, attention to detail, everything in working order, detail instructions and information on all appliances and features of the home. The backyard is a botanical garden with beautiful accent lighting and winding pathways - quite the experience. Everything is high quality including the owners who offered us wine and food when the Tsunami warning hit and Hilo was gridlocked. Unforgettable experiance!!!! Don't miss this opportunity!

The property managers were gracious enough to allow my now husband to get ready at their beautiful home with his photographer. The owners on property were so sweet and congratulated us when they found out it was our wedding day. What a gorgeous property with high-quality amenities. I mean an espresso machine, full body massage chair & outdoor showers!? This was such a treat for us & would love to return in the future.

Do not let it deter you that there is no air conditioning as it truly is not needed. The way the house is built with the vaulted ceilings iand the full walll sliders, the air moves perfectly throughout the house. I would recommend this resort 100% of the time.

Over the Top Best VRBO rental ever for us. Enjoyable & exciting retreat from start to finish. What a delight

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved staying here. This place is equipped with everything you could possibly need. It’s beautiful inside and out. The tropical rain forest backyard is so beautiful to look at and the private path through it was a wonderful walk every morning. We had a contact person to go to if we needed anything, otherwise it was total privacy. 45 minute drive to our favorite, Volcano national park. We loved the property so much we are going back to the big island again just to enjoy this little slice of paradise!

This property is beyond wonderful. Every convenience imaginable is provided. We loved the feel of being in our own private rain forest. I would highly recommend this property when visiting the island. We hope to return and enjoy it again!

Very enjoyable. Backyard jungle walk and hot tub relaxing. Took some time to get used to all the lights, fans,tv, etc. but after a day or two we were at home in paradise. Thank you.

Absolutely loved this place, this was our second year staying there and it's such a relaxing place to be. Hilo is truly amazing and beautiful and this place lets you soak it all in. Smart home is awesome the hot tub the outdoor showers the backyard the lighting is relaxing. The managers and the owners are great!

Very beautiful and comfortable stay! Our favorite thing was enjoying the massage chair overlooking the rain forest and gardens!

Well cared for. Clean. Convenient. Very fast response to our one question on something that we thought was missing. This is a no risk choice. Comfortable beds. Clean throughout and very responsive to questions.

A secluded, relaxing tropical retreat! Built on lava rock and surrounded by lush vegetation made you feel like you were deep in the jungle. The house was amazing with more creatures of comfort than you could use! The hot tub and massage chair were awesome. A favorite time was spent relaxing and enjoying the view through the floor to ceiling windows. The best VRBO we’ve stayed in. Mahala!

The common areas were spectacular, great kitchen and amenities and hard to beat the outdoor shower in your own private forest.

The property is located in a nice residential neighborhood 10 minutes from downtown Hilo and 45 minutes from Volcanoes National Park. The yard is a botanical garden. This is a “smart house” with a lot of the current technology.

However, when we arrived we were highly impressed on the outside and inside design of this gorgeous home. The home was equipped with all & more than needed to make it feel like home. The gardens were the icing on the cake for us having a love of nature. You ddn't feel like you were in a neighborhood. The dogs next door let us know they were there when we first were exploring the property . They did get used to us and were not a problem. We wish that we could have stayed longer. Having family living near by we hope to return and would most definitely rent the Lava Rock Resort. We would and have recommended it to others. Do Not hesitate to rent this home. You will be beyond pleased. We have a rental also and I appreciated that items and light switches were labeled . Thank you

This rental was one of the best I stayed at! It was so peaceful and well thought out! The jungle is literally in your back yard. It was the longest I stayed inside my rental on vacation since it was so relaxing! The jacuzzi was the cherry on top!

The home and property are beautiful! We thoroughly enjoyed walking through the spectacular garden and viewing it from inside through the large floor to ceiling glass sliding doors. The outdoor showers are great and we enjoyed the hot tub one rainy afternoon. The house itself is lovely, nicely decorated, very well organized and comfortable. The kitchen is superbly stocked and we enjoyed cooking some wonderful meals there. The location was perfect, close enough to Hilo but in a quiet, private neighborhood. The property manager and owners were very responsive. Highly recommend this property!

The exterior is spectacular with the jungle as your backyard to explore and enjoy with a hot tub and outdoor shower.The owners who live in an adjacent were very cognizant of our privacy, yet super nice waving as we'd leave the property.It was just my wife and I, but the property is big enough for another couple or kids.I'd return to this property without hesitation.

House was very clean and cool. Super private backyard and loved the outdoor showers. Convenient location for us and everything we wanted to do. If staying here you must have a car to get to and from. Would definitely stay here again!

We loved this place so, so much. Hard to put into words how lovely and peaceful this place is. Great access to everything but you kinda just want to hang out here
