It was beyond our expectations. Everything you might need was conveniently located in our “place”. Communication was easy. It was very clean. The bed was super comfortable. It was designed perfectly. We loved getting to visit with the sweet geckos every morning. The fruit orchard was fun to walk through and see the variety of fruits grown there. We were very happy with our accommodations. I highly recommend this place!

Piece Of Paradise

We LOVED our 2 night stay here. It was so relaxing and exactly what was described. It was a bit of nature, fruit trees and peace. We had excellent communication with the hosts. The outdoor shower was pretty cool. We really can’t say enough good about it. Will 100% stay here again when returning to Hilo side of the island.

Beautiful property and garden with tons of fruits

The grounds were amazing. We were allowed to pick our own fruits like papaya, sapote, banana, mountain apple, avocado, cacao, etc. The property was clean and cozy, and the outdoor shower was very nice. Only downside was a couple of loud coqui frogs at night, and it was a bit of a drive to Hilo.

A wonderful Hawaii experience

We loved the beautiful property. We were looking forward to the open air bungalow and it was fabulous! Hilo usually has evening rains and it was just lovely. There are sunshades and curtains throughout the house, so if you don't want quite so much open air, or more privacy, you can close them. It is the perfect size for 2 people. We will be back again.

Great place!

This was our first trip to The Big Island and we stayed the first part of the week in Hilo. This cottage was absolutely amazing and was better than expected! The sounds at night were soothing, we had lizard visitors, the rain was just lovely! We couldn’t have asked for a better atmosphere!

One with nature

We loved our stay mainly because of the acre of fruit trees and numerous geckos that entertain. There wasn’t any ripe fruit when we visited, except for some grapefruit, but if your trip is at the right time of year, I am sure it is fun to eat fresh fruit from the orchard. It was nice to feel like you could be outside with privacy. The house has an outdoor kitchen and living areas which we enjoyed.

Quiet escape

I stayed here during the Merrie Monarch festival and enjoyed the lovely cottage and grounds. It's a quiet space in a residential neighborhood that is also largely agricultural. Large property. Loved the unique indoor-outdoor style of the cottage.

An experience--more than just a stay!

I do LONG reviews because I like reading LONG reviews--for the short review--precisely as advertised and very accommodating/communicative host. Now some details: It is an off-the-grid cabin with an outdoor (open) kitchen and shower amid a wonderful citrus orchard. Beyond citrus, we saw Papaya and Starfruit, but citrus was in season! Get directions clearly in advance--especially if arriving after dark--it's a gravel street and you need to open a farm-style gate--and Hawaii street numbering is confusing (especially to my Applemaps). Bedroom is super comfy (and enclosed), but the frogs, birds and insects will charm you to sleep. Kitchen is nice, but cooking is on a propane grill. The outdoor shower is a great out of body experience. It's currently the only cabin on the property and very private from the neighbors. Super convenient to Hilo, Pahoa and the area around Kilaeau--a bit of a drive to Kona, but Saddle Road is easy--and Mauna Kea is enroute. We've come to prefer to the Hilo side of the island, but that is a personal preference. This is NOT your Hawaii resort, but it's an experience you will cherish and the host did everything to accommodate our requests.

Definitely a hidden getaway

The place was a little more rustic than we anticipated. The water is not drinkable, but we were supplied with plenty of bottled water from the host. The propane tank to heat the water for the shower was empty by the final morning, so we needed to have cold showers. But otherwise the place was great. Try to arrive during daylight, it’s a hidden gem :)

Our beautiful stay

My husband and I ended our visit to the Big Island by staying at this lovely property in Hilo for a few nights. We were aware that this side of the island gets a considerable amount of rain, especially this time of the year. We talked about possibly returning next year when the weather and numerous fruit trees are producing. .
