Secluded garden bungalow in the jungle

Trade winds blow through this tropical paradise. The ocean is an easy 10-15 minute walk. This recently remodeled home is surrounded by a tropical garden and is the perfect getaway. The house is situated on a one-acre lot that is fully landscaped. There are an uncountable variety of tropical trees, plants and fruits on this property. There is a comfortable fully covered lanai to spend your evenings watching the sunset after a day of exploring the island.
Our home is fully furnished and has everything you need to make your trip memorable. This is a one-bedroom home with a queen-sized bed that has a wonderful view of the morning sunrise. The kitchen has granite counters, dishwasher and is equipped for cooking at home. We provide all linens and towels. There is wireless internet access. The property is gated so it is private.
We do not use catchment water. We have our own private well to take care of all of your water needs.
The Jungalow's central location makes a great home base for short trips to Volcano National Park, the Hamakua Coast, Akaka Falls, Kahuna Falls, Rainbow Falls, Umauma Falls, Farmers’ Markets and a nearby Black Sand Beach. There are many great restaurants nearby in Pahoa and Hilo.

A Ring video camera is located on the front lanai.

If you need more room please see our VRBO listing #395200 which is on the adjoining property.

Beautiful place near Hilo
the place itself is gorgeous, private, peaceful, but a drive to pretty much anywhere and not much to do in that hood. The description should probably be updated, as some of the places described are no longer accessible. Having had a b and b myself, I would never think to ask guests to wash the linens, and we did not, as we left at daylight and did not want the clothes to sit in the washer for any length of time. One suggestion, fix the front gate. But one of the prettiest spots in Hilo.

The house was attractive, comfortable, spacious, with everything we needed. A peaceful country neighborhood. Especially loved the large yard, and every day discovering some new exotic fruit, foliage or flower on the edge of the “jungle”.

Another week in Paradise's Jungalow
This is our second stay in this unique Jungalow on a beautiful piece of property.... it felt like "coming home" as we drove down the winding driveway. The home has incredible views of its own "rain forested jungle" with fruit trees, orchids, birds etc. I love cooking in their fully stocked kitchen and then leisurely reading on the lovely lanai. We spent each morning at The Cliffs for walks at dawn - just a few minutes away. Sightseeing in Hilo and the surrounding area is only 20 minutes away. We can't wait to return!

Sleep to sound of coqui
Most memorable is falling asleep listening to the coqui frogs at night and rain in the morning. The sound of the coqui frogs wete so relaxing that i had to record it. Location is tucked away from the road and landscaped beautifully. Centrally located between the hamakua coast and vnp. Our host and property manager were very responsive. As the host suggested, when arriving for the first time, it is best to do so in daylight. We arrived late and needed additional directions and help with the lockbox, which was hard to open. We did bring a flashlight, as it was very dark. We had all the amenities we needed and really appreciated the cooler for beverages and lunch while sight seeing. We would definitely stay here again.

Jungalow in Paradise
This house is simply perfect. Sit on the lanai and soak in the songs of nature, frogs serenading in the evening, birds chirping in the mornings, waves roaring against the cliffs in the distance. A great way to start and finish your days here. The house is great, perfect place to reset and reconnect, super clean, well equipped, everything you need and nothing you don't. Pahoa and Keaau are close, Hilo within 30 minutes. Thanks for a lovely trip, can't wait to return to the Jungalow in the near future.

We loved the house. It was clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the frogs at night. The location was quiet except for the frogs. There were several good restaurants close by and in Hilo. Oh, the bed was great. Comimg from Colorado, I enjoyed all the plants and trees around the house.

Perfect Hilo-side Homebase
We loved the Jungalow! The place was clean, well-stocked with necessities, and the location was perfect (for us). I didn’t need a single thing from the host but I did ask a few questions and she was responsive. Deb has great recommendations for restaurants in nearby Pahoa which we frequented. The house cooled down really nicely at night with the windows open and fan going. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to friends. Thanks for a great stay!

A real getaway!
If you want a real retreat from your normal day to day, the Jungalow may be just the place for you. A roomy, well stocked bungalow - perfect for two. Surrounded by tropical jungle - complete with nature's symphony as 'background music' - this is an ideal getaway spot. We loved our time in this unique location and will not soon forget our experience there!

A True Paradise
We have visited the Hawaii area over the years and love the wild beauty of this Island! Finding this "Jungalow" has just added a true motivation to return (again and again). This beautiful bungalow sits on a gorgeous piece of manicured property. Our favorite memory is sitting on the lanai watching clouds, birds, sun, plants, rain (sometimes all in the same hour!)_. This VRBO is completely stocked, beautifully furnished and so comfortable! We highly recommend!
