Beautiful

This home is about 25 minutes south of Pāhoa. The waves and ocean are amazing here. The home was spotless and well appointed. Sleep with the rear sliding doors open and fall asleep to the waves. Neighbors are very nice. And the views are amazing.

Perfect stay

This is a perfect place to have an island getaway. Remote and wonderful. The house is a short walk to a great black sand beach and near lots of beautiful natural places. This side of the island is very chill and a great place to have a relaxing escape.

Great home away from home with spectacular oceanfront!

Perfect home with a beautiful ocean views and the waves crashing on the rocks was wonderful! Easy access to get out everyday to explore & enjoy a different part of the island after a sunrise breakfast on the main lanai then return “home” to enjoy supper again on the lanai made from the fresh fish, produce and fruit from the many farmers markets along the way.

This reasonably priced home is an absolute steal for such a beautiful place. It had all the amenities you need with upgraded linens and towels. We would certainly go back to this same location and stay in this same home.

Stay at the Jewel Box

Beautiful location in Hawaii. Quiet with the only sounds being the pounding surf outside your door and the Coqui frogs. Everything we needed was supplied at the home. Views are incredible from the various ocean front lanais. Communication with the property manager was prompt and friendly. I would definitely stay a again.

This is a Jewel

We have had an amazing visit here, with all the surf action we had hoped for. Spectacular view and even got to see a school of dolphins surfing by our place. It’s a perfect size for 2 couples and lovely that we both got master bedrooms with a view( and sound effects) You won’t be sorry you stayed here, unless of course you don’t like nature. Thanks for such an amazing place to call home while we were here👍🏻🥰🌴

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property was wonderful. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, surrounded by lush foliage and of course the amazing ocean views.

Beautiful Oceanside Stay

We loved our time at this property! Views from the beautiful decks were unbeatable. The home was clean and comfortable. It was thoughtfully stocked with kitchen, bathroom and beach amenities. Beds were a little on the stiffer side, but still comfortable. Check in/out was easy and property managers communicated well. Only downside of the property is the neighbors’ dogs, who barked at any type of motion, as well as in the morning hours (5-6am). Fortunately, they were fairly brief and didn’t go on for more than a few minutes at a time. Dogs were definitely not left outside to bark continuously. We would absolutely stay again at this property. Mahalo!

Excellent VRBO

I can't say enough good stuff about this property. Everything was 5 stars. The view and accommodations were excellent. I was worried when we first arrived about the heat, but after we opened windows & let the fans do their job, it was comfortable when we were there (late evening, all night, and late mornings). Hearing the ocean crash on the rocks outside the back deck was the most amazing thing ever. I hope I'll be able to return some day. Highly recommended.
