Mountain View Weekend

My friend and I had a great weekend staying in this home in Mountain View, a Quick 15-20 minute drive to Volcanoes or the grocery store. The house was nice and breezy when the windows were open and was a great place to relax after a day of hiking. We cooked many meals easily with cooking items available in the rental. Overall a comfortable and easy stay!

Fantastic Place and Fantastic Host

This place is fantastic. Clean, has everything, pretty easy to find. The host is super friendly, even though I ended up messing up the last day (I thought I had reserved it another day, so we were out having a great time when I got a message that I miss the check out time - we bombed back and got our stuff out quick, but big time apologies for our delay - totally my fault). Seriously, I've been to many places on the Big Island, and this is one of the best and the most reasonably priced place I've stayed at. It's a quick drive to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, pretty quick down towards Hilo where there are grocery stores and plenty of restaurants. The neighborhood is SUPER quiet - also unusual for Hawaii in my experience. Seriously, you won't find better.

Big Island Paradise

Our family (2 Adults, 6yo and 1yo children) had a great stay at the Big Island Paradise. It is conveniently located between Hilo and Volcanoes National Park. It served as the perfect retreat from our adventures and the aloha was felt in its care, cleanliness, and attention to detail (Hawaiian themed decor, fresh flowers, Kona coffee K-cups, etc.) I highly recommend staying at this Hawaiian retreat!

Vacation stay

The house was everything that was advertised. The kitchen was awesome, up to date and stocked well. Bedding and towels were more the enough. Really enjoyed the patio.

Half way between VNP and Hilo

The house was clean, check-in was easy and the property manager is literally right next door if you needed anything. House is about 15-20 minutes from Volcano National Park and Hilo.

Lovely country house

Very clean and organized with everything we could need from brochures to kitchen essentials. There was great communication from Clayton and it was a lovely stay for us close to Volcanoes. Loved all the birds and wildlife in the area. Highly recommend this home!

Great place and great host!

This is a very clean, well-appointed property. The house looks brand new and all of the furnishings and linens seem new. We cooked a lot of meals in the kitchen and we were very comfortable there. We had a problem our second day there when the hot water heater and the oven stopped working suddenly on Christmas Eve. We feared there would be no one able to fix it on Christmas Eve. Clayton, the manager, was there within minutes. It was only an empty gas tank that ran the hot water heater and oven so it was easy to fix. Clayton had it fixed within 20 minutes! Great place to stay and excellent host that understands hospitality. Highly recommended.

Beautiful home

Home was very clean and perfect location to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and sightseeing areas. Home is equipped with Kilauea past eruption DVDs. Comfortable and cool, love sitting out in the lanai under the stars. My wife and I really enjoyed this rental and look forward in staying there again.
