Jungle view bedroom with private entrance,outdoor private Bali style bathroom
Escape after a long day of exploring our beautiful island to your own private bedroom with a private entrance. You will enjoy a jungle setting with the peaceful sounds of coqui frogs. Step outside to a Bali style open air bathroom that is just a few steps away from your bedroom. Our home is located just above this cozy private bedroom and bathroom, so you may hear a little noise from above. There is no air conditioning within room, but since the bedroom is located on the lowest level of our villa, this room stays naturally cool. There is a ceiling fan. There is a covered parking spot right next to your room for you.

Relaxing and comfortable stay on our babymoon
We loved our stay in the jungle room! The suite was clean and comfortable and we had no trouble falling asleep to the sound of coqui frogs each night. The hosts were so kind and generously let us use the bbq and the small prep kitchen space next door which we appreciated for making light meals. Overall we had an amazing 6 nights in Hilo snorkelling, visiting botanical gardens and enjoying the restaurants and shops downtown. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this suite!

Peaceful jungle hideaway
If we could give more than 5 stars, we would! Hannah and Tanner are lovely, incredibly thoughtful hosts with great communication. They made us feel so welcome and appreciated, and let us know when the volcano was erupting so we made it in time to see it.We loved the outdoor bathroom and being so close to nature. Cute tiny frogs come out at night (remember ear plugs if you're a light sleeper).Great location a few minutes drive from downtown Hilo, yet tucked away in the jungle, peaceful and private. We had the best time and would definitely stay here again!

Quiet and Comfortable
This was a return visit. First, location: quiet and private but just a few minutes to downtown. Second, vibes: just one room but a beautifully secluded rain forest lanai with an open air bath. Finally, personality: not your average room to let, with a friendly, welcoming and conscientious host. 10/10.

Our favorite stay during our big island trip!
We stayed at three different places during our trip on the big island and this is absolutely our favorite! I love waking up to the smell of the plants and flowers right outside the room. Despite the bathroom is half outdoor but you still have enough privacy. Hannah is easy to reach whenever we have questions. Highly recommend✨
Loved the place and the scenery. The host was top notch helping with local recommendations. He even bought us some local fruit as a gift. We would definitely return

Great stay in Hilo. Hosts were so attentive and helpful and very flexible with my last minute trip extended stay. The room was clean, quiet, private, close to town and the University. Loved the outdoor shower for the full island experience will stay here again.
Lush, safe, quiet and friendly neighborhood. Hosts are easy to communicate with.
First time here but will return.

Peace in the Jungle
Couldn’t ask for a more peaceful, secluded, beautiful location. A ridiculously comfortable bed. The Bali-style open-air bathroom is unique and luxurious. And a gentle greeting from the house dog was a nice bonus.

Favorite place we stayed!!!
Hannah was GREAT! She gave us great information about check in, where to park, everything we needed. The place was super clean. We stayed at 5 different location while we were in Hawaii, and this was our favorite by far. Place was exactly what was described. If you don’t mind the sounds of nature, and a Great outside bathroom, which we loved, this is the place to stay in the Hilo area. If you want to visit the volcano, Hilo area, and only have two people this is the place to stay. Thanks again Hannah for allowing Karen and I stay at your awesome Jungle Retreat.

Great home base for exploring Hilo side of the island
My husband and I stayed here for a week and had a wonderful stay. Hannah is very attentive and available whenever you need something. We had the room with the outdoor seating space which is key. There's no air conditioning in that room (the ceiling fan is fine) and it's a bit smaller than the 2 other rooms, but we prefer to have an outdoor space to hang for morning coffee and evening Coqui frog listening. There is no actual kitchen here, coffee maker and small fridge in the room, but there is a large sink and a few dishes in the laundry room which is next door to this room. Note that the other people staying in the other rooms can also use the laundry room so it isn't completely private at all times. And the owner is in the space above that room and you can hear them at times as the listing states, but we didn't have any issues with that. The outdoor bathroom is very cool and still private although you will hear people as they walk by. If you are looking for a completely private place, this may not be for you, but the location is ideal and we found it to be very comfortable and enjoyable.

Getaway in the Tropics
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! Hannah and Tanner were amazing hosts who went above and beyond to supply us with ideas of where to go and what to see! The bed, pillows and linens were amazingly comfortable and the tropical/jungle view from our room was stunning! My favorite thing was listening to the Coqui frogs who sang us to sleep each night. It made me feel right at home having lived in Puerto Rico for 18 months. We would definitely stay here again!

Great stay in Hilo—highly recommend
We loved staying at the Jungle view bedroom VRBO and “jungle” is no exaggeration. You feel as if you’re completely surrounded by gorgeous tropical Hawaiian greenery. The outside sitting area was a great place to enjoy morning coffee and listen to all the birdsongs surrounded by palms and countless other trees and flowering plants. It’s also located very close to town which was convenient. Hannah and Tanner are gracious and welcoming hosts and we enjoyed meeting them. 5 stars all the way!

It was just what I needed. Some were quiet and secluded. Loved the coqui frogs.
I love that it was not to far from Hilo but it seemed like it was on another island. It took me one night to get used to the bathroom because I wasn't sure if anyone was around. The shower was perfect and I love my showers. I loved the stillness of the place. I got to chat with one of the owner and he was so welcoming. I got to have my morning coffee at a drive through which I much enjoyed... no cleaning up. (As suggested by the owner). I would love to stay again but maybe a bit longer. Thank you for sharing a part of yourself with me. I appreciate the kindness so much.
This place has a very "Zen" vibe. The setting is terrific. If we are ever back in Hilo, this is where we will stay. I would give more stars if I could.

This was an exquisite property
The location was excellent - at the end of a very quiet road with a forest behind the house. Privacy was ideal. Bathroom - outdoors - was luxurious. I have nice bathrooms in my house, and this one was even nicer than mine. Room was just what we expected and wanted. Laundry available. Lots of things available. This will be the Vrbo that all other Vrbo are compared against. Couldn't have been happier. Hannah was fantastic too.
