About this property

I have an amazing 3 bedroom 3 bath home on 5 landscaped acres with a pool. The river rock bottom saltwater pool is a refreshing place to cool down after hiking the incredible volcanic crater only a few hundred yards away. The master bedroom includes 1 king and 1 queen bed. The two guest rooms include 2 queens (room 1) and 1 king and queen (room 2). This expansive single story 4000+sqft home includes high vaulted ceilings throughout and an open style living, dining and kitchen space with an island peninsula suitable for entertaining. The game room (room 2)includes a pool table and the front yard has a horseshoe pit, both great places to reconnect with your family and friends. The property has a large variety of fruit trees and a lush coconut palm grove. This unique tropical landscape is perfect for multiple families or a once in a lifetime event. This is the perfect venue for a small wedding, family reunion, memorial or corporate event.

Perfect Family Home

Adam is an amazing host, and the property sits in a secluded and beautiful luscious green haven. The home is abundant with beds and places to rest your head, relax and refuel your soul. The photos do no justice as to how amazingly spacious and gorgeous this home is to fill with your family and friends. We loved the antique decor carefully placed through out the home. We made so many beautiful memories, lots of good healthy laughs, cooked an abundance of belly filling homemade meals because it’s a total plus that Walmart delivers groceries to the house, and the pool was just another great amenity to keep everyone together cool and entertained! Definitely a perfect family home is a MUST stay at on vacation! Mahalo mahalo mahalo Nui loa Adam and pool house in paradise Aloha The Sebay Ohana

Low key vacation

This house was perfect for what I needed to have a lowkey vacation with my family. The host was very prompt with his responses to my questions throughout my stay. It was a little hot in the house but nothing that a little dip in the pool could fix. Overall I would stay again. Maholo plenty.

It's the little things

The property was as pictured however there were some things that should be improved. Being a first timer to the Big Island we were concerned about safety and privacy. In the main living space there are no blinds or window coverings. In the primary several blinds were broken off leaving gaps making it easy for strangers to look in. We were a little worried upon arriving so we got some tape & used the extra sheets to place over windows in the bedrooms so no one can look in. When we walked in it had an awful smell like mildew, probably from not being aired out for some time. We turned all the fans on and when we came back later that night it was much better. But the room with the pool table smelled the worst even after airing it out best we could. The kitchen is spacious but only one oven worked & two of the 4 burners worked. The pans were old & overdue for replacing. The king bed in the primary was rock hard, had to switch to the other bed which softer. Towels were old,scratchy, thin.The tub in the master bath couldn't get filled up bc the thing used to plug the water wasn't very good & the hot water ran out every time we would try & fill it. I reached out to the owner about no hot water but was told he was on the other side and there was nothing he could do & "good luck". I understand that he was far away but to tell me good luck was unnecessary, who says that to guests?! I feel there should be a plan in place when the host is unavailable to assist with those types of things.

JUST SHY OF PARADISE

Wasn't going to review, but that's not fair to future renters. Positive: location is amazing close to lava and far from big city, secluded and immersed in nature. Al, he's a treasure that likely keeps this rental going still, he was helpful to no end and generous with eggs and fresh fruit, as well as tips and travel advice he really was a blessing. Spacious home we didn't need more than two bedrooms there were only four of us my wife and our two kids. But it was nice for everyone to have their own bathrooms. The night sky is beyond breathtaking. Lava close by is like a another planet. Negatives: inaccurate description u don't get 5 acres, u get about a half acres of fence in locked gated yard, the kitchen is unusable and is completely infested with termites, the range and oven are gross and the cookware and utensils are not far behind that, spent 350 dollars on groceries on way in from airport and couldn't use anything not from fridge as termites would congregate in the thousands, Termites moved into almost all the rooms of the house. Furniture also had crawlies on them. Had to buy a 40 dollar pan to cook one breakfast in 5 days. Gave Al all the leftover food for a food pantry nearby. Every door in house going ourside is broken and falling apart. POOL is borderline dangerous with all the missing stones exposing sharp concrete edges underneath. Al did his best each day to keep it clean and clear but it needs more frequent and thorough cleaning between guests perhaps.

Beautiful and peaceful

We enjoyed how quiet and private this property is but still very close to lots of things to visit. There were 8 of us in our group and the home had more than enough space for all of us to spread out. Everyone enjoyed the pool and the home had everything we needed for our stay. The host was incredibly helpful with all our questions and everything we needed. If we are able to make our way to Hawaii again would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful!

We had a wonderful time at this farmhouse. We enjoyed the swimming pool. The caretaker made sure it was clean each day. We were brought fresh avocados, mangos and eggs that we simply enjoyed. The view from the swimming pool at night with a full moon is amazing. We were there for 7 days and was able to explore the whole island from this house. It is a bit away from the bigger towns, but we preferred it that way. Both Adam and the caretaker were very responsive and made our stay very enjoyable.

90th Birthday celebration

The house was perfect for our whole family but we brought our dogs and they have chickens that come into the property as they live next door. So dogs chase chickens and it was very tense as I thought my dogs could roam free it being fenced in but we had to keep them on leashes the whole time outside and watch them as Adam was not happy. Other then that the place is beautiful located and the land is very nice. Pool was amazing but my mother in law who is 90 had a hard time getting in as no railings to enter pool. We did put a chair there for her and she was able to get in and swim. If u don’t bring amnimals I would highly recommend it.

Belle grande maison pour une grande famille. Le voisin est très gentil et amical. Près des points d’intérêt. Calme et relaxante après une journée remplie. Le seul problème l’eau n’est pas potable donc nous devons aller chercher de l’eau chaque jour à l’épicerie.

Great Property

It has everything you need and nothing you don’t. Very secluded, a great place to unwind. You’ll have an extended drive when traveling, but once you’re back, it’s very tranquil. The pictures don’t do a justice to how much space you have. This place is huge. Adam the owner is very responsive to your needs and Al, who lives adjacent to the property is very helpful and keeps things in order. We enjoyed our time very much and would definitely rent this property again.

Perfect

Everything was as described. Have been dealing with some other stuff and have not had time to comment. The property is serene and very well stocked. The goats, sheep and chickens were not much different than home. Adam and Al are on top of everything. The property is private and an ultimate paradise in a lava field that is slowly bringing brought back to life. Been coming to this area for 30 years and this is by far the best place I have ever stayed.

We had a fantastic time here - the property was as advertised with plenty of room for our whole family. The kids loved the pool, the games, and the animals next door. Both Adam and his caretaker. Alex were kind, professional, and went above and beyond our entire stay to make us feel welcome. Thank you both for making our family trip so smooth!
