Great family getaway. We enjoyed traveling into Hilo to snorkel, hike the caves, and visit Rainbow falls. We stayed for a week and a half and drove every main highway and stopped at all the state parks. The home was the calm between all the activities. We walk the neighborhood and went down to the park to look and hike around the ocean cliffs. We played cards and cooked together. The locals we ran into were very helpful on where to visit and the best food.

Loved this vacation home - very well kept/ maintained, large living space. We had an issue with a few things being different from advertised but the rental company resolved quickly. The only minor call out is that there is no AC and the property gets very warm during the day - there are fans in every room which help!

We loved our stay at this home. The neighborhood was quiet and nice for walking. The little park down the road was great for ocean gazing. It was a bit warm when we arrived, but once we opened up the windows it cooled off quick. Nice furnishings, great kitchen, comfortable beds. We would stay here again for sure!

A beautiful & peaceful vacation home near the ocean where you can enjoy sitting on the deck listening to the surf & the coqui frogs in the evenings. Lots of lush vegetation around and a short walk to the coastline & park. Enjoy grilling out or take a short drive to dine out. Waterfalls and lava fields are also near.We enjoyed our location on this side of the island. The weather was great. We highly recommend staying here & would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved our vacation on the Big Island and our stay at Popa'a Palms. We did several tours, including a cacao tasting at Honolii Orchards, and a tour of the Hawaiian Vanilla Company. One of our favorite activities was visiting Ola Nani Ranch in Pahoa. It had just opened. We were able to interact with alpacas, goats, sheep, and trail ride on their beautiful horses. The tour was also very informative about Hawaiian agriculture. After a full day we always looked forward to returning to Popa'a. So quiet and relaxing. All of our evenings were spent on the spacious lanai. The house is very roomy and we loved it. The beds were very comfortable too. We will be back!

This house looks cuter in person and we loved the floorplan! Two bedrooms and a full bathroom are on the ground level then the kitchen, open living room and third bedroom are upstairs. This made our family vacation SO comfortable - the old folks and little kids slept downstairs while the teen was able to stay up late, watch TV in the living room, and sleep upstairs without disturbing us. The upstairs lanai is right off the kitchen so we all ate breakfast outside admiring the lovely yard FULL of palm trees. There are so many birds here, we really felt the tropics. We planned lots of activities from this location. Expect to drive every day. Coming 'home' to Popaa Palms was so comforting and relaxing. We will definitely stay here again!

Wow! Our stay at Popa'a Palms was amazing! Just what we were looking for in a vacation home. We didn't want to leave! The neighborhood was quiet and perfect for walking. The views along the cliffs and oceanfront drive were amazing. We loved sitting on the lanai in the evening with the cool breeze listening to the waves. The property was very open and spacious, clean, and well stocked. We used the grill on the lanai several nights. There are chairs and coolers in the garage which were handy for going to the parks and beach. We went to Hilo many times and it was an easy 25-30 minute drive. We visited the farmers markets, Waimea, the lava beds, many beaches and parks, and other sites. A grocery market, restaurants, and shops are only 10 minutes away in Pahoa, which were handy, and we also stocked up on groceries in Hilo. We will definitely be back!
