Unwind at your Perfect Jungle Retreat

My wife rates it the coolest vrbo we have stayed at. It is certainly at the top. Kind of like living in a swiss family robinson house. Really like being in a jungle. The main issue was we had to leave and go back to 40 degree Portland.

The property is beautiful! And a nice little private slice of paradise. The place was clean and unique. We did miss having a shower, but who’s in a hurry when you are on Aloha time?

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The service and attention of Hawaii Life Rentals was excellent. The home is unique and the pictures represent it well.The house is beautifully set in a jungle feel with lush gardens. It is in a development about 15 blocks from a park area on cliffs above the ocean and an easy drive to Hilo beaches.All renters should be aware that wild chickens populate the property and there is a cocks farm nearby. That contributes to pre-dawn cacophony provided by other birds. In the evening the frogs begin to croak. We enjoyed the sense of nature but advise you to BRING EAR PODS for quiet. That said, if you enjoy a uniquely delightful experience, this choice is for you.

Very much enjoyed our stay. Property was just as advertised. No difficulties at all. Everything was seamless.

All 3 bungalows have full views of the gardens with complete privacy. Listening to the rain , the frogs or even the roosters was so cool. The bathtub and dining room were my two favorite spots. The neighbors dog barks from time to time but besides that it’s a beautiful slice of paradise in the jungle. Such a unique place to callHome for your stay

Very relaxing.

This place is magical! We loved the separate bungalows and the walkways connecting each, and being surrounded by thick towering plants and trees with patches of lava rock and mossy grass. Staying here felt kind of like glamping in the jungle but way better than that. It has everything you could ever need while still being surrounded by nature. It was also a good location between Hilo and Volcanoes NP. As mentioned in other reviews, there's definitely noise from the chickens, frogs, and birds - but that's all part of the experience! Luckily there was a nice standing fan in the bedroom that drowned out any noise so even my 8 month old baby could sleep through the night. The neighbors were close but kept to themselves. All in all - this was the coolest place I've ever stayed in!

Spacious and private! You really do feel like you're out in the rainforest in this secluded little bungalow. We can't decide if the kitchen, living room, or bedroom was our favorite space - but it's worth it to come the that bathtub alone!

I loved staying here. The only negative thing I could say is the neighbors have dog(s) that are outside all night and whine and bark. By night two this blended in with all the other sounds of chickens and frogs and rain (which we loved). On the first night one of the dogs came walking up to the deck to say hi. He was very sweet. He hung out for a while then left. Maybe he just wanted to come back, and his human wouldn't let him and that's why he was crying every night. I would stay here again even with the dogs talking all night.
