Great secluded getaway

Beautiful and quiet neighborhood
Posted Mar. 29, 2024 on HomeAwayWe enjoyed our stay at the Jungalow. It was very quiet compared to several other places we stayed at closer to Hilo (no dogs barking, no car noise, a lot less coquis, and only 1 rooster.) The lanai was a beautiful place to read a book and sip coffee. The futon area off the second bedroom was larger than it seemed in the pictures, and was a perfect place for kids, teens, or those who wanted to watch TV. The house has lots of light too. Our host was very responsive, when needed.
We loved the cats, but had to be sure to keep the doors closed or they enjoyed visiting inside. The property was well-maintained. Our only issue was there is minimal pots, pans, and cooking utensils, so come prepared. (one pot meals worked the best for us.) We would definitely stay here again.

Big Island Adventures
Posted Mar. 21, 2024 on HomeAwaySteve's VRBO house was located in a quiet neighborhood just a 10 minute walk to the ocean where we watched the sunrise while waves crashed onto black rocks. His house had many cozy spots to relax but we especially enjoyed the porch hammock swings and eating breakfast at the sunny porch table. We also liked the open layout of the kitchen, dining room and living room areas for our family food preparation. The house was well located for our daily adventures including hikes at Volcanoes National Park and along the coast to the north of Hilo. We also liked that we were only a half hour drive from the airport and our favorite park near Hilo: Carlsmith Beach Park where we swam and saw a green sea turtle. Our host Steve communicated well with us and supplied everything we needed to make us feel at home.

Posted Feb. 20, 2024 on HomeAwayOverall this is a great place to stay if you are planning your trip to include hiking and exploring. My family would go out and adventure and then come back to rest and play games. The place was cozy and we loved the extra wildlife noises. The beds were super comfy and our communication with the owner could not have been better. The only problems we came to were some updates in the kitchen, some odd consistency in the decor, and the water heat. However, we made due during our short stay and our visits by Goldie the cat made up for everything.

Excellent stay
Posted Sep. 25, 2023 on HomeAwayIt was only myself that stayed in the home, but it was wonderful. I love the covered porch, screened in porch, the landscape around the house, and the birds and frogs calling. The house had everything I needed and was in good working order. I did not have to contact Steve about any issues, so I don't have a good idea about how he would respond; however, the fact I didn't have to contact him reflects the quality of care of the property. I was really pleased that he alerted me to the fact that the Kilauea volcano had erupted. I would highly recommend the property.

Tranquility
Posted May 22, 2023 on HomeAwayThe home was as described. It was clean, beautifully landscaped, and a nice place to return to after a day of hiking and exploring the area. We enjoyed falling asleep to the chorus of frogs and waking up to the roosters. The resident cats helped fill in the void of missing our own pets. Highly recommended!
