The house was great for my friend and me who were meeting from distant places. Two full bedrooms and two full bathrooms, a very well-equipped kitchen, and a screened porch. We were completely satisfied with our stay. The property manager was very responsive and pleasant. The island is beautiful, and I really doubt you can find a less expensive place to stay that would equal the space and amenities.

My wife and I stayed seven nights in this property during our trip to Hilo. It was perfect for our needs. Easy access to the Belt Road (HWY 11) and Hilo. Well equipped kitchen, spacious living room, large master bedroom with a comfortable bed and two bathrooms. Plenty of room for a family with kids. We would certainly stay here again when we return to Hilo.

Great location: 30 minutes for Hilo, 30 minutes for Volcanoes National Park, 30 minutes (including the drive & short walk) to the most beautiful black sand beach I’ve ever been to. This house was clean & comfortable and tucked away in a quiet little neighborhood. We enjoyed family dinners ever night on the screened in patio and listening to the white noise provided by the rainforest after that.

This quiet oasis is nestled in the true Hawaii! My family stayed here and have NO COMPLAINTS. We wanted to be off the beaten path, we wanted to mingle with the locals. We experienced framer markets, volcano mountains and gorgeous waterfalls. Our 7 days here was just to short! This island it’s already calling us back. Our hostess was amazing, the cottage was airy, surrounded by rain forest, you get the nights of the coqui frogs beautiful songs, mornings just a quick 15 minute trip to the cost for sunrise, 20 minutes to hot pools at Issac Hale Park. You want vacation this is it. We will be back. Thanks for the memories.

The house in payola is amazing and there is so many good things to do in that area ! The tropical lush green rainforest and all of the attractions just on that side of the island makes this house centrally located to everything and it’s a short drive to the volcano national park which makes it even more desirable ! The owners are nothing but super good people and are very personable and helped make our two month stay a success ! They are also in the real estate market and we are consulting with them on a future purchase on the big island of Hawaii ! They are very knowledgeable people and I would recommend their services and their house to anybody !

This home was everything we were looking for. It is comfortable with indoor and outdoor living spaces. It is private, surrounded with vegetation and sounds of nature. While private, it is just a short drive to downtown Pahoa and not too far from Hilo. Allowing pets was a bonus for us. Nestor and Lucena are excellent hosts. Highly recommended!

Met or exceeded expectations in every way. We stayed for 3 nights. The location suited us. Volcano national park, green sand beach. Hilo, and also a day trip to hapuna Beach Park.
We made breakfast at home and cooked dinner.
Good times!

Perfect little house for a peaceful getaway in a quiet neighborhood. House is nicely stocked with essentials, Wi-Fi, Netflix, washer/dryer, and a nice screened in lanai to enjoy the evening breeze. Close to nearby shopping, restaurants and fruit/veggie stands selling local produce.

We absolutely loved the property and enjoyed our stay there. The kitchen was great the bedrooms were comfortable and surrounding areas so green and lush close to the volcano, thermal pools, and Farmers market on Sunday. Can't wait to go back. Worth every penny

Perfect place for a stay with kids. Very nice master bedroom well thought out even a tiny alcove with a rollaway crib for the little tykes! The TV is super stocked with every service you may want at night. The house is well stocked with everything you need. Perfect great room! Nice cover for your car and to grill. Excellent internet. Off the road in a quiet location. I would recommend it to a family arriving to the Pahoa area.

Very clean house. Excellent property Management! I would highly recommend to all of my friends and family to stay here! And if I ever need another vacation rental here this is the first one I will look for!! If you are looking for a peace and quiet during the day and being serenaded to sleep by frogs while surrounded with beautiful foliage and flowers this is the property for you!!

The house was really great for what we needed. It was large and had a great lanai which we spent many hours in. It had a full kitchen and bbq that made cooking really easy. We were working remote for the time we were there and the house had plenty of space for us to be on simultaneous conf calls. It may not be best for touring the area as you are pretty far from touristy spots… but if you don’t mind that, it is a perfect spot!
