Peaceful retreat close to Volcanoes Park

Property is private and secluded. Tricky to find if arriving after dark. The driveway is steep. Once inside it felt very cozy, tranquil, and private. Furnishings well maintained. Landscaping is beautiful. It was a great home base retreat for what we wanted to do.

Wonderful Big Island Home Next to Volcanoes National Park

The house and location were ideal for our two day visit to the park. The check-in process was easy and the owners were very helpful. It takes only a few minutes to get to the entrance of Volcanoes National Park. The house was well equipped and quite large, and easily fit our six guests (two families, each with a 10-year old). We ate in one night and the kitchen had everything we needed - from wine glasses to a cheese grater. The main bedroom had a private bath and shower and the other two bedrooms shared a full bath. The two kids loved the twin bunkbeds (4 beds). The appliances were all modern and easy to use (washer/dryer, stove, etc.). I highly recommend this house and the owner was great to work with!

Wonderful

Lovely home, well-appointed with everything you need and then some. Only issue was that we only had bath towels for 2, but there were 6 of us—we just used the beach towels. Property was beautiful, rustic feel but very comfortable and clean. No issues with stay.

Nicely furnished with nice gardens, but needs heating on cold nights

We spent three nights at this home and found it to be well-furnished and cared for. The kitchen is well-equipped and there are lots of useful items for vacationers. It is in excellent condition and the gardens around the house are beautiful. But, as is often the case in Volcano, it was very cold at night. The house has no central heat, and the only available heat when we were there was the cast-iron stove in the living/dining area. We had some trouble lighting it, but even with it running, it was inadequate to heat the sleeping areas. We contacted the owner and property manager who were helpful but could not deliver a space heater until the 3rd night. So for the first 2 nights we slept in our clothes as the bedroom temperature was very cold. So we can happily recommend the house for warm weather, but if it is likely to be cold during your stay, you should contact the owner first to ensure that some form of additional heating will be provided.

Lava flow

Visit to Volcano National Park

My spouse and I were called off the island when my father took gravely ill the day before our stay was scheduled so we were unable to take the trip from Kona to stay at Royal Hawaiian Estates. However, the other two in our party of four did go and they enjoyed their stay very well. They only stayed one night due to wet, cold weather, but they said the place was quite comfortable and that we would have enjoyed it very well except for the weather. The only drawback they reported was that the dehumidifier was loud and, because of the wet weather, it ran on and off all night leaving them less than fully rested. All in all the accommodations we very good.

Clean, nice, and fun! Mahalo šŸ¤™šŸ½

Mainland cousins came to visit us and we stayed a couple nights of their trip in this house so we could tour the south areas of our island. House was clean, check-in/out was simple, and we all had fun. Cousins (from Idaho) thought it was pretty neat to be in Hawaii and have a fire going in the fireplace. Mahalo Nui Loa šŸ¤™šŸ½

Close to Volcano National Park

Great location , 10 min to VNP. Great location if you want to see lava flow at night- we saw it twice. House is right off the main freeway, but also set off in a fern forest. Elusive birds and Coqui frogs keep you entertained. Sloped driveway needs easy maneuvering. Better to back in and park. Kids loved bunk beds and board games. House has all basic necessities, including umbrellas. Glad there was recycling. Need some ziploc bags. Plenty of towels, kitchen equipment, bathroom stuff. Owner answered phone call right away while we were checking in. Very responsive to messages and gave us great recommendations.. esply liked the lilikoi cheesecake. Felt safe w the cameras over the property. Great location!

Quiet respite in the forest

We loved our stay. The house was exceptionally clean and well laid out. Volcano has its own unique vibe of a close knit communication yet with that feel of privacy. It was centrally located for us since we had business to do in Volcano. Otherwise just 30-40 min drive to Hilo if you need.
