Keaau, Hawaii
This large and inviting home has 4 bedrooms and 3 baths on 2 separate living levels. Situated on a ½ acre back from the street, this home is private and landscaped with beautiful blooming tropical plants that Hawaii is certainly known for. Located in the ever popular Hawaiian Paradise Park subdivision at Kaloli Point, this area is known for its sunnier skies and warmer temperatures.
The open and spacious living, dining, kitchen area that opens up to the tiled ocean view lanai is absolutely perfect for the guests that are traveling together. Upstairs are 2 generously sized bedrooms with 2 baths. The master bedroom has its own entrance to the tiled lanai and has a lovely stained glass shower for 2.
The downstairs area with separate entrance has 2 more bedrooms (3 queen beds) that share 1 bath.
And again, the 3rd floor observation deck or “widow’s watch” is pretty incredible! A popular romantic myth holds that the platform was used to observe vessels at sea. The name “widow’s watch” is said to come from the wives of mariners who would watch for their spouses’ return, often in vain as the ocean took the lives of the mariners, leaving the women widows.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very unhappy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall experience was satisfactory at best. We will not return. Once we arrived we discovered things we were disappointed with. Easy to find and close to walking trails that have people living off the land residing here and there. Some local residents have multiple dogs and some others have fences and a dog. Water is collected from a shingled roof, not metal. Leaching from asphalt shingles is undesirable but didn’t affect the water flavour. Buy bottled water.Plenty of towels for seven adults. Water service tag is one year old. Two set of sheets for each bed but no blankets for the cooler nights that we had. Good picnic cooler suppliedA local resident confirmed that there are a handful of drug production houses in the area and that all valuables should be guarded. No on site room-safe available. The vocal creatures are very loud frogs that peep all night. This chorus is augmented by three roosters on surrounding properties. The roosters start their ****-a-doodles at 4:30am. We all used earplugs for sleeping. If you’ve read this far and still want more comments to read; I will close this out with stating the rental fees were unreasonable high for this property. We booked this property because our previous location was became unavailable because of it sale to new owners.
We loved the house! It was great to have bedrooms downstairs where the younger folks (in their early 30s) could stay up later and us older folks (in our early 70's) could go to bed earlier. The open kitchen and eating area was perfect for family cooking together and setting up meals on the counter. The neighborhood is very walkable for morning strolls. Our contact, Jolanta, was very responsive and helpful.
Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When we arrived we found dead bugs or bug parts in 5 of the beds and on the couches and chairs 1 bed had dirty sheets. There was sand under one of the beds. The downstairs smelled as if it hadn't been opened to fresh air in a long time. We contacted the property manager she said she had just been there the day before an was baffled about the dead bugs everywhere. She said well there is going to be bugs in the jungle environment. I understand live bugs but not dead ones in most of the beds. We did not stay. And trying to get a refund has been a chore because they are very bad at returning phone call or text messages.
We had a lovely stay. Green geckos kept us company and we enjoyed having meals and reading on the lanai. The place was easy to get to and the whole family was happy with their accommodations. Thank you.

Very comfortable & spacious property!
We loved the property it was perfect for our family of 8 plus my mother. It was clean and welcoming. Loved the lush landscape and proximity to the cliffs and ocean. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was perfectly stocked with basic necessities.

Highly recommend.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very quiet location outside of Hilo. Huge house with 4 bedrooms and 6 separate beds in total. Lots of space to accommodate a large group. We enjoyed the well stocked kitchen and amenities such as the outdoor washer/dryer. Note the downstairs bedrooms (2) and bathroom are connected using the outside stairs.As others mentioned, the house does not have AC. Plan to arrive not too late upon your first night as the house was really hot when we got in. Once all windows/patio doors are open (and after sunset), house starts cooling down enough to sleep correctly. First night I though it was a mistake to have booked a vacation rental without AC as the house was still pretty hot, but following nights were more comfortable and, in the end, everything turned out OK.Cleaning was pretty good, except we noted one mattress shown traces of multiple old tiny blood stains looking like bed bugs had been found here in the past. This was a bit terrifying, but no bed bugs could actually be found on the mattress, on the cover and/or bed sheets when we got in. No one in our group had any issues. This mattress however, should still get replaced to avoid getting the fear of bringing any bed bugs back home...BBQ grills were also dirty and we ended up not using it. Only two beach chairs, two boogie boards for a big house like this was a bit surprising, but also ended up not using them. Overall a very nice stay.
Exactly as expected. Quiet, clean, and comfortable with an off-the-beaten-path feel. A safe, beautiful neighborhood for walking and across the street from ocean cliffs with gorgeous sunrises. Thirty minutes or so from Hilo's amenities, but far enough from major roads to never hear traffic. Overall a great experience; I would stay again.
Beautiful , peaceful, surroundings Great place for family to relax and enjoy. Many local sites and activities for all ages.
It was extremely clean when we arrived! My daughter, who is obsessed with cleanliness, commented on that immediately! It was lovely, airy and quiet, and plenty spacious for 8 of us family members, from ages 19 to 74. We enjoyed hearing the frogs and insects at night, but perhaps someone from a more urban environment might not. The occasional rooster?? Not so much. The outdoor deck was a great place to relax on the days some of us chose to stay behind. And only a few miles to a couple great restaurants. I would highly recommend this place for family gatherings and would certainly stay there again! Thank you.
