We selected this property because the house was so unique and full of character. It did not disappoint! It was built by a shipbuilder from an old water cistern with additional rooms and a generous veranda built around it. One of the most impressive aspects was the large lot with lush tropical landscape. Sitting on the veranda you felt like you were in the middle of a jungle. We’d sit out there every morning and evening listening to the wildlife. The house was close to a couple small towns, not far from Hilo and several other destinations we wanted to explore on the Big Island. The floor plan was a little awkward in that you had to get to the second bedroom through the bathroom or from the veranda, but being a small family we made it work. Thom was extremely helpful and responsive to all out questions and offered excellent recommendations of what to see.

Excellent home for a Hawaiian vacation. It's in nature and the Manager is extraordinarily helpful. 100% recommended
Unique and really wonderful house on Hilo side. The grounds are amazing and pictures do not do it justice. Very private with beautiful garden.
Such a peaceful stay...it rained everyday and the birds drove me crazy but that was what made it charming...had trouble finding it but thom came to find us and saved the day...everything u needed was here..it was not overall clean however the bedding was neat..plz clean under the mat in the bathtub..and pillows in the living room made it kinda funky smelling..the hottub was not able to be used we bought a test kit but didn't want to mess with it..overall we would come back..
The house was quite interesting and the build was quite amazing. We were surrounded by lots of nature and found the frogs croaking to be an interesting touch. We were also surprised and thrilled that there weren’t any bugs in the house. Thom, the owner of the house gave us some local information and replied very quickly.
This property is truly an oasis- if you are looking for an extremely quiet tranquil location to relax and use as a home base to explore the east side of the big island this is a great option. Thom the property manager is terrific and local and very knowledgeable about the area and had a lot of great suggestions! This place also had A/C which was great for cooling off after a hot day of hiking and exploring. The kitchen was well appointed with all you need to make your own meals which I will say is how we roll and there is no delivery in the area and most restaurants are in the towns about 10-15 minutes away. There is a beach about 5 minute drive away that’s very private- not a huge white sand but small black sand beach- also a very cool area to explore at end of street where the lava flow took over the landscape. We had a great stay for 5 days here and would definitely suggest it to anyone looking to get away!
We had an amazing stay. The property is beautiful, the house was perfect for us.. we woke up to the sounds of birds and rain.. the sun peeking in through the 360 windows on the top floor, went to sleep to the sounds of nature.. Thom was amazing, had great insight on the island and it’s happenings. Super friendly and answered all our questions. A+++ We will be back for sure!
Very accommodating host, kids enjoyed hammock, hot tub. Great location feels rural yet near everything. We learned so much about wildlife and visited volcano national park while staying at this property.
Great property, great amenities, great host, & great peacefulness
This was such a fun place to stay! The location was perfect to access any of the Hilo side attractions with fairly short drives to any of them. I felt like I was staying in the middle of the rain forest. Yes, the frogs, birds, and rain on the roof were noticeable at night, but I loved listening to them and just threw my ear plugs in when I was ready to sleep. The house was stocked with anything you may forget (toiletries, shower stuff, kitchen essentials, beach gear) and there were plenty of towels and bedding for everyone. We picked oranges, mandarins, and lemons off the trees and they were better than anything you'd get at the grocery store! This property was build in the early '80's so don't expect everything to be perfect. It was clean and cute and the perfect place to relax after a long day of sight seeing. Thom, the property manager, was in touch with me the day before we arrived and gave wonderful recommendations for things to do and was always quick to respond if I had any questions.
