Unique home on a lovely plot of land. Lots of birds, plants, and geckos around the property. The home has everything you need and is a convenient launching point to explore the east side of the island. Less than an hour to Kilauea where we were lucky enough to see a fountain episode. I love quirky houses with a story, this one used to be a water tank that has been built out. Take a morning dip in the hot tub then have breakfast on the lanai. Traffic to and from Hilo can be backed up quite a bit during rush hours, so plan accordingly. You won’t regret renting this fun property. Do it!

Excellent unique hideaway

This was just the right amount of funky in this spot. It's a very unusual house in a quiet (except for the local wildlife) area. Layout is weird but workable. The kitchen had all the basics for cooking, tons of linens in the bath, "smart" TV (bring your logins). It's 2 miles from the main road, so stop by the grocery store first. And bonus friendly kitty from next door!

We had an amazing stay. The property is beautiful, the house was perfect for us.. we woke up to the sounds of birds and rain.. the sun peeking in through the 360 windows on the top floor, went to sleep to the sounds of nature.. Thom was amazing, had great insight on the island and it’s happenings. Super friendly and answered all our questions. A+++ We will be back for sure!

Fun and funky retreat

We really enjoyed the funky fun location and architecture. There was everything we needed in terms of kitchen supplies and linens. We were there in late August and there is no AC but lots of fans so It was pretty hot and humid. Just be prepared. We slept better when we threw the sheets in the dryer for a few minutes just before going to bed. The hot tub on the lanai is lovely! And the private jungle location is lots of fun!

Oasis treehouse

My family of 4 had a lovely experience staying at the Hawaiian Paradise Park. The moment you drive up you are transported into a lush paradise. The property is surrounded with thick tropical vegetation(including fruit trees) and great for your littles to run around. The manager, Thom, is easy to communicate with and offers great local suggestions during your stay. It's like having your very own concierge. If you are looking for a tropical paradise, away from the condos and close to Vocanoes NP and all the fun things in Hilo this place is great.

Tropical getaway

Mapquest got us to the house easily. The hosts helped us with everything we needed. We chose the house for the hot tub because my husband has chronic back pain and hot tub jets help him relax. The hot tub did not have jets that massaged. They just moved the water slightly and only lasted for 5 minutes. That made our stay very difficult for my husband. Also the layout of bathrooms to bedrooms was unusual. All in all we had a good time but not as great as we’d hoped for.

Love, love, love this place! Upon entry, the place was even more whimsical than the listing leads one. There were producing fruit trees in the yard and the garden was so pleasurable to walk through. The king-sized beds were very comfortable and the breeze throughout the house left no need for A/C. The property manager was quick to answer any questions we had and was very attentive and nice. Even though the property seems remote there were stores within a 10-minute drive for last-minute dinner needs. We were graciously granted early check-in and late check-out. We stayed 5 days and it was not enough!! Can't wait to return and stay again. Mahalo nui to our hosts!!!

Amazing

This property is truly an oasis- if you are looking for an extremely quiet tranquil location to relax and use as a home base to explore the east side of the big island this is a great option. Thom the property manager is terrific and local and very knowledgeable about the area and had a lot of great suggestions! This place also had A/C which was great for cooling off after a hot day of hiking and exploring. The kitchen was well appointed with all you need to make your own meals which I will say is how we roll and there is no delivery in the area and most restaurants are in the towns about 10-15 minutes away. There is a beach about 5 minute drive away that’s very private- not a huge white sand but small black sand beach- also a very cool area to explore at end of street where the lava flow took over the landscape. We had a great stay for 5 days here and would definitely suggest it to anyone looking to get away!

Welcome to paradise

This property is all about natural beauty. There are frogs, geckos, snails, and cats. You're inevitably going to find some bugs inside the house, but nothing that'll bite you (didn't see any mosquitos). Be careful of the stairs at night, but the host has night lights around the house, so you should be ok. Other than that, this is a kid friendly place, they'll love exploring the property, which has one gate, but we still felt safe. My only gripes were that the cookware was questionable, it was a challenge to find a pan to use without a lot of scrapes on it, but this is not really the host's fault, as it's the past guests. Also, the electrical switches around the house need to be better labeled, you'll end of switching everything to see what is for what and still not know. The kitchen was stocked with essential spices and oils for cooking. The hot tub appeared to be functional, but we didn't use it.

Fun House, Perfect Location

This was such a fun place to stay! The location was perfect to access any of the Hilo side attractions with fairly short drives to any of them. I felt like I was staying in the middle of the rain forest. Yes, the frogs, birds, and rain on the roof were noticeable at night, but I loved listening to them and just threw my ear plugs in when I was ready to sleep. The house was stocked with anything you may forget (toiletries, shower stuff, kitchen essentials, beach gear) and there were plenty of towels and bedding for everyone. We picked oranges, mandarins, and lemons off the trees and they were better than anything you'd get at the grocery store! This property was build in the early '80's so don't expect everything to be perfect. It was clean and cute and the perfect place to relax after a long day of sight seeing. Thom, the property manager, was in touch with me the day before we arrived and gave wonderful recommendations for things to do and was always quick to respond if I had any questions.
