Learning about the Big Island

The property was absolutely amazing. Jenell and Tim were super helpful and answered all questions quickly. The home is just as described. I will be using this home when I return to the Big Island for sure.

Home away from home!

Our family enjoyed our stay and felt relaxed and at peace. The home was very clean, well stocked and furnished. The whole home was so comfortable and the decor added extra charm. The house was very spacious inside and outside, we enjoyed the beautiful landscaping. The kids enjoyed looking for geckos daily. We loved listening to the birds and sounds of nature. Jenell was very nice and quick to respond to any of our questions. She was helpful in suggestions for our drive over. We were caught in the tropical storm for a few days and the power had even gone out due to the weather just for a few hours. Luckily we had our own flashlights, but I would suggest some rechargeable lights or something available. We felt very safe at this home and neighborhood. Thank you for sharing your home and I would recommend to anyone searching for a great vacation home and experience. Mahalo!

Pleasant Stay

The house and property was clean and well maintained. It was spacious enough for our group of 8. It was comfortable for cooking and lounging. The only downside (which is common here) is lack of air conditioning. We enjoyed our stay. Would recommend and stay again.

Perfect Home in the right place

The home is beautiful with lots of spread out space. The yard is like a botanical garden. The house is well stocked, clean, and comfortable. The pocation is perfect. I am so glad we decided to stay on the East side of the island. There is access to so many things and this house is perfectly placed. I accidently left stuff at the house and the host was quick to respond and help me to retrieve my things. Book it, you wont regret it!

Kumu Hale

We found Kumu Hale to be well appointed, and extremely clean. The house was tastefully decorated with art with a Hawaiian flair. We especially liked the large sea turtle wall hanging in the master bedroom. It was nice to have comfortable places to hang out both inside and out on the screened lanai. Having the main living space in between the master bedroom and the other two bedrooms provided privacy and allowed for bedroom doors to stay open for airflow at night. The temperature ranged between 64 & 82 so overall the house stayed comfortable without A/C. Lava right out the front door, tall foliage surrounding the yard, and of course the resident Coqui frogs made for an interesting and pleasing contrast to staying in a manicured resort area in Keauhou during the earlier part of our trip. Personally everyone in our group like the nighttime symphony of the frogs and whatever else was adding to the music of the night. Access to the Malama grocery store made buying groceries easy, and Pāhoa Village was charming. We highly recommend the Tin Shack bakery for espresso and pastries. Kumu Hale has easy access to the beautiful Government Road (formerly known as the red road) and from there the stark and bittersweet beauty of the recent lava flow of 2018 that devastated the Puna district. Mahalo nui to our hosts Jenell and Tim for opening your lovely home to us.

This house was perfect for us.

The location is beautiful, and very convenient. The house was spotless, well furnished and very near a good shopping area with diverse businesses. We had grandkids who live in Keauu come to visit for a bit, they loved running around the grass in the back yard. We are all older people who are not able to do a lot of walking or hiking but found many locations easy for us to visit. I would highly recommend a drive through an area called "Government Road" which is directly down the road from the house. It is totally fascinating and we took the tour twice.

Nice visit

We enjoyed the house. It was very clean and was in a quiet neighborhood (other than the morning roosters, which for us wasn’t a big deal). My family members were uncomfortable, saying the beds were really hard and it was pretty warm in the rooms. There were no ceiling fans in the extra bedrooms. There were floor fans. The lanai was very nice and cool and a couple of evenings someone slept out there as it was much cooler. Nice that they had boogie boards, chairs, umbrella and coolers to use. Plenty of items to cook with, etc. The things we wanted to do were mostly in other parts of the island, so we drove a bit, but we chose to stay away from the touristy area. Overall, we had a nice stay other than being a bit warm.

Beautiful home in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood

The neighborhood is a little farther away from Hilo and Volcanos NP, but that gives you a nice, peaceful place to stay. The yard is edged with a variety of tropical plants with fruits and wonderful screened deck in the back for meal time. The beds are comfortable, plenty of helpful recommendations of lesser known places to see, and lots of water gear. Easy check in / check out process. Also plenty of small greats fruit stands nearby with very friendly, helpful sellers. As mentioned many places, there are loud tree frogs and many geckos around. Just check around the doors before going in/out and you should have no problems with them getting inside. We would definitely consider this place on the top of our list next time we head to the big island.

Awesome Hawaiian getaway and reunion home!

This was an beautiful home, with plenty of room, an awesome layout, great location based on our travel goals and all the necessities covered. Perfect amount of silver and flatware to have meals at home to save on restaurants. The washer and drying machines were so convenient allowing us to not pack as much. The kids toys were perfect for our little one to keep them entertained and having a TV with streaming services were perfect for those early return nights. The water shoes, snorkeling gear and boogie boards were in good working order and saved us from having to buy or rent them along the way. There were plenty of light weight/quick dry beach towels that also helped us with our beach excursions. The master bathroom showers were better than the hotel we stayed in at Kona for our first night of travel. We loved having the lanai in the mornings and evenings listening to the birds and cocqui frogs. On a clear night my wife was able to look up and see the stars. Overall, it was very easy just walk in the door, unpack and get right to the vacation. We’re looking forward to our home away from home on the next visit to Hawaii.

Beautiful, spacious, sparkling-clean home

We loved this property so much! Immediately felt comfortable entering the home and think that its exactly as described in the ad but even better in person. We spent much of the day driving around exploring the island, so it was perfect to come back after a long day and just relax. And in the mornings, we loved stepping outside to hear the lovely nature sounds and see the neighbors chickens in the front yard. Next time we visit the Big Island, we'd definitely want to stay here again!

Little Hawaii Gem

Nice quite property, good landscaping, and nice layout. Enough space for a large family or two smaller ones. Some of the extra beach items were broken or needing a little love. So I’d rent or buy your own. Location can be tricky in planning your days on vacation and utilizing your traveling time around island. If I were staying/vacationing more on the Hilo side of the Island I’d rent again.

Amazing Accommodation in Paradise

Stayed for three nights, and on first impression we could not believe how beautiful, clean and organized this house was. The layout of the home is perfect for relaxing, with a family friendly open layout and a bonus tranquil all season room in the back facing a lush green forest. Comfortable beds and living room furniture was a plus. As we cooked or went about our normal routines, pleasantly surprised at the thoughtful amenities located thru out the house. Everything needed just seemed to always be at our finger tips, so much so that we felt truly at home and relaxed thru the entirety of the stay. Communication with the owners was always with short turnaround, both leading up to and during our stay. Shopping, day trips to Volcano National Park and a diverse choice of beaches were also within a reasonable drive. Would highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone staying on the South East end of the Big Island.

About the host

Hosted by Jenell Wedding

We have properties in southwest WA, eastern WA and Hawaii and love spending time at all of them. There are so many things to explore and do that we feel we may never make it to all but we are on a mission to try. If you chose to stay at our home in Hawaii we will be happy to help guide you on your journey.

Why they chose this property

We bought this home because we like to get off the beaten path of most tourists and experience places the way the locals do. Make sure you have plenty of time because you won’t want to leave.
