We loved our stay at this lovely home! It has a wonderful layout, peaceful backyard and everything we needed to cook. It’s absolutely clean, has all the cleaning supplies for us to use as well. Highly recommended!

After 5 nights at Waikoloa Village, this house was a pleasant change. Quiet neighborhood nestled just far enough away from Hilo but close enough to enjoy all Hilo has to offer. Very spacious accommodations for our family of four. We love each other but sure was nice to not share one room. Beds were comfy and the nature sounds (rain downpours & frogs) was so peaceful. Everything we needed was here.

We appreciated the clean, spacious, and organized house that my family could call home during our stay on the big island. The property manager was prompt to respond to our requests. We look forward to using Hawaii Life on our next trips to the islands.

Property was perfect. The cooler, beach towels, beach chairs and boogie boards really helped save us money from having to buy ourselves. Good location for Volcanoes National Park and Hilo however most of the snorkelling and sandy beaches are on the other side of the island so expect some hour plus drives (only downside of the property). Loved listening to the frogs and birds in the evening. There was also an electric kettle which was much needed for this English family.

This is one of the cleanest places we’ve ever stayed at. Good family sized home that has everything we needed. Big back yard that is fenced in. Great for those with little kids. Location is ok. Not too far from anything but not real close either. Only negative is no air conditioning. On a hot humid summer night makes it hard to sleep as place does not cool down. Maybe a few more fans would help.

The house was very beautiful inside out. We had a wonderful time in the house. Especially the beautiful backyard. My six year old son every morning will get up and go straight to the backyard and just run around looking for small creatures. The only downside was I saw blood on one of the pillow cases and the refrigerator have smell, but besides that we love the place.

The house is well organized with a welcome touch in a very peaceful setting. It is well taking care inside and the garden is magic with the plants and all the birds chirping all the time. The pleasure of modern need in the tame nature. We had a wonderful time. The location require some driving around to enjoy all the island wonders.

We loved our stay here! The backyard made the trip! It was full of lizards, frogs & beautiful birds. Our young kids had a blast searching for creatures. The home was cute and had what we needed. Nothing fancy, but very comfortable. We were worried about no AC, but we never felt hot. The ceiling fans kept it perfect. Well stocked with kitchen appliances, boogie boards, a cooler, beach chairs & beach towels. They supply bar soap but no other toiletries, so bring those along. We’d definitely stay here again!

Loved the place! We loved the house and appreciated the fresh flowers that were left for us. Slept soundly to the chorus of frogs ‘singing’ us to sleep. Also had great supply of dishes, Tupperware and other items. Highly recommend.

This home was lovely. The grounds were filled with fruiting trees and orchids. This home was very nicely decorated, and roomy. We truly enjoyed our time there. It was a little far from things but it was a delight to be there!

We enjoyed our stay at Hale O Nani Mala Pua, we had everything we needed. Kitchen is well equipped with everything you need, spacious and clean bedrooms, beautiful and meticulously maintained grounds and beach essentials.
We could not be more happier. Great place for families to enjoy the Big Island.

Our family enjoyed the trip to this house in the Pahoa area. It was a nice, clean house with plenty of space. Can't really complain. Can get pretty warm during day but in the evening its breezy and enjoyable.

The home is very comfortable. Many small details attended to & made the stay that much more comfortable. The property is beautiful. It was a lovely week in a lovely home. We were very happy there & may happily return if/when we vacation on the Big Island again.

Clean, spacious, 3 full baths, everything we needed for our stay. The host got us new beach gear, cooler, umbrella, 4 chairs, 2 boogie boards, and 6 beach towels. Made our 9 day stay even better. Did I mention they let us extend our check out time.

This property is a little off the beaten path, but if you're exploring the Hilo side of the island, it's a great launching off place. It was cozy, comfy and well appointed. There's a beautiful back yard. The whole property is gated for added security and comfort, but we did not feel uncomfortable in the neighborhood at any time. You will definitely hear the natural surroundings. We enjoyed all the sounds of the island. I would absolutely stay here again and work with the same management company on other properties. Well done!

We got in on a rainy night, so at first we could not see clearly and the house was very stuffy since the windows were close. After the windows were opened the house began to breath and started cooling down, and when morning came, the beauty the property possesses came to light; especially in regards to the backyard. The amenities were plentiful. There were more things there for our convenience than what we have at home. We really truly loved our stay there. Definitely a "Diamond in the rough!". To add, our host or property manager, Robinette, was accessible and very helpful to us, and we really appreciated that.

Overall, an excellent experience. The house is lovely from the inside with nice decor, has a beautiful garden, close to beautiful rainforest and Lava areas and beaches. This is one of the best "stocked" homes: had excellent kitchen items, beds, towels, brand new washing machine, fridge, TV, internet, etc. Outside has a beautiful garden, airy and open. Jolanta V. was our Hawaiian Life host and super responsive and v helpful! Loved the stay and will definitely come again. Thank you!
