We loved this little house - loved the coqui frogs, the rain forest, well equipped kitchen. We purposely chose it to be further away from the Hilo busy area but it’s still close enough to Pahoa if you have a car so you can pick up groceries etc. Close to a small black sand beach. Also good for visit the nearby beaches/shops of Hilo if you have a car. And don’t forget the Volcano National Park. We were lucky to be there when the volcano was active and got to view the eruptions - amazing!

We enjoyed our stay at the Treetop Bungalow very much. It was fully equipped with everything we needed and very comfortable. Our only issue was noise from the adjacent road.

We brought our kids on a Hawaiian vacation, and we LOVED our stay! It was fully stocked, clean, and a great location. We enjoyed the neighborhood kitty, and the relaxing environment of the home. Would highly recommend to any travelers!

What a lovely bungalow, in a nice quiet neighborhood close to beaches and to Hilo. It's a bit of a drive from town but thoroughly enjoyed being far from tourist traps and resorts. The local wildlife song of frogs and birds lulled us to sleep every night. Very timely response from the property manager as well when we couldn't figure out the hot water. Would def stay again!

Very authentic little house in the middle of the nature. Well maintained even that it is a bit older. The fresh air is amazing, no air conditioning needed. However the location is a bit too far in the nature (long distance, moskitos, geckos) for us, also the bed size could be bigger.
We enjoyed the experience here.

The house was lovely, in the trees as described, with all the amenities. We were a little disappointed that it was right on a fairly busy road on one side and very close to the neighbor on the other. The black sand beach right up the way and that was wonderful, otherwise not too much in the area as places to eat. Bring your own to fix. We had to shorten our trip as the rains were coming down in torrents. Sorry that was the case. Loved the outside shower

Our family usually likes to stay in out of the norm places, where there isn't a lot of traffic, people, tourists, etc. This was perfect! It is quite the drive from most of the "sights" on the island, but that's part of the fun in exploring new places. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had all the appliances necessary, and we enjoyed spending time in this bungalow after dark, where the insects, birds, toads, and more could be heard. We all slept so well to those sounds. My son's favorite part was reading in the hammock. My daughter's was finding all the geckos and naming them all. It was lovely to have access to laundry room, beach toys, a cooler, and an outdoor shower. When our plane arrived, we got a text from our host, Jolanta, who welcomed us and let us know if we had questions, shed be able to help. We didnt need to reach out, as everything was communicated so well ahead of time. It's a perfect stay on the Island and we will definitely be back! Mahalo!

Thoroughly enjoyed. Bed was super comfortable and house had everything I needed. Cooked a couple meals and kitchen was well stocked.
Would definitely stay here again.

This place is amazing. The sound of the frogs and the road can be worrying at first but we found that closing the windows on the road side of the house solved this problem. We were worried it would be too warm at night but were very comfortable like this.

This place was amazing!!! All the essential items needed to make it a real home away from home! Yes, the lanai does face the neighbors house, but the entire property is the real gem. Plus the neighbors are quiet and very nice so that was cool too. This place has the true country sounds and feel and smells at night and is a tropical paradise in the day, rain or shine. Be sure to grab extra fruit for the Gold Dust geckos that you'll find all over outside and even inside where they keep you safe by eating anything that dares to enter the house. Absolute must stay if you want that true rainforest/lava rock fields/right next to ocean/etc experience. I could blab for days about how awesome this place is but you'll just have to see it for yourself!

The treetop bungalow is really cute. Super homey with absolutely everything you need to feel comfortable. Really enjoyed our time there. The only thing that wasn't 100% was not having a tel number for the property manager until after we checked in -- everything was by msgs via VRBO and if there was something urgent...felt a little disconnected. Second thing was distance from Hilo. It worked for us, but when traffic was bad, it turned into a bit of a slog. That said, we would stay there again and highly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Kehena Treetop Bungalow! The house was the perfect size for us and it had everything we could possibly need. We were surprised that it didn’t have air conditioning but we found that we didn’t need it. With all of the windows open, there was a cool breeze flowing through. The beds were comfortable and we really liked the sheets, blankets and pillows. We also appreciated the beach towels and extra thick bath towels. I spent most of my time relaxing in the hammock. The only drawback to this property is that we had to leave!

Overall, this was a sweet stay. It's a few blocks from a walk on the lava beach and 5 mins from a black sand beach. A few much-needed repairs would help--the water heater alarm had to be overridden every 24 hours or the hot water shut off, several windows didn't function and the armoire door was broken. It was also very loud at night, with bedrooms right on the road. The property manager, Jolanta, was amazing and did her best to make me comfortable despite the issues. With earplugs and a flexible attitude, it was a good enough place to stay. Would be better with some maintenance.

The house is clean, well stocked, and very pleasant. Pahoa is 15 minutes away with a large grocery store and a health food store. Volcano NP is 30 minutes away. The beach is clothing optional with large waves which may be a problem for some kids. We left the rental early because of the constant rain on the east side.

Our stay of about 4 days was a wonderful experience! Loved the home provided for our vacation. Very good location to get away from it all. Did not like the busy road directly outside the bedroom window, cars zooming by all hours of the night... We closed the windows, which helped a little. Other than that, perfect for us! Loved the instruments! Loved the water gear!
