What People are saying: "Warm Aloha & thanks for the lovely accommodations"/ "We very much enjoyed our stay at the Jadehouse.

The accommodations here were lovely"/"We have enjoyed our stay... Your house is very spacious and we really enjoyed the wood stove"/"We arrived at Jadehouse around dusk...we were absolutely flabbergasted once we got here. This hidden gem provided everything we needed and we had two very restful nights here.

"Special Group Rates" are: One price for the entire group of from two to eight persons. (Special discount is an additional 10% off if it is a late booking within the last 3 weeks before arrival).
Beautiful two-story family style home, with vaulted ceilings, and large windows looking out into the rainforest, with beautiful peaceful views awaiting you whether it is sunny, misty or rainy.
You will be staying in a large family style home, 1500sf, nicely carpeted, with high vaulted ceilings, many large windows & a wood stove, Cable TV, DVD/VCR player, video library, highspeed WIRELESS INTERNET and full kitchen with many new appliances. This is a very clean, very nice, very comfortable, very large & roomy, reasonably priced place to stay.
While enjoying Kona coffee by the wood stove, you can look over the giant hapu'u tree ferns (12 feet high), exotic flowers of Ginger and Anthiriums (in season), and the dark Ohia trees with the red Lehua blossoms. A peaceful, serene escape from the 'daily grind'. Every window has a nice view.
It is a very easy drive to the Jade House, on Jade Avenue, located just off the Highway, that takes you from the Hilo airport to the Volcano Visitors Center, (Highway #11). You can easily find it in the dark.
Jade House is located in the center of the East side of the Big Island where it is an easy 30 minute drive South to Punalu'u Black Sand Beach with large Green turtles sunning themselves, year around. The black sand is actually smooth black glass beads formed when the hot lava hits the cool ocean and then floats down to form this beautiful black beach.
To the East 30/40 minutes are the large naturally made Lava Tide Pools, just perfect for snorkeling in, with many beautiful fish of every description in relatively Shark free waters. Then a short drive down the red road and enjoy swimming in the Natural Hot Mineral Pond heated by the Volcano. Then perhaps a stop at a quaint outdoor restaurant, with pretty good food. And after a nice drive a few miles further with a short walk and view the lava pouring into the ocean at dusk. At night it is like a fiery red, awesome fireworks display, at times shooting 300 feet into the air. Then a leisurely drive back to the Jade House which can easily be found in the dark.
Then there is the Observatory on Mauna Kea...
[Bring your friends and rent an additional large unit (1400sf) for a total of $225 a night for fourteen persons, this unit has it's own full kitchen, living room, TV, DVD, 3 full beds etc]

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2006
We love Hawaii, the weather is an outstanding plus. We live close to the ocean, with green vegetation everywhere and it often rains at night so we have many gorgeous sunny days with the tradewinds every afternoon. And the big island has everything big.
We moved from Monterey California a beautiful area to an even more beautiful area. We miss our friends but have many new ones here.
And most exciting of all we live right next to an active volcano, how many people can say that.
Why the Owner Chose Volcano
Up to lately with 2.5 million visitors a year we thought this might be a rather interesting way to add income.

It is close to the Volcano Park entrance and very easy to find, even in the dark. Very large house with many large windows overlooking the rainforest with huge 12 foot high Hapu'u ferns everywhere, it is so peaceful and nice. Woodstove, vaulted ceilings, fully carpeted...

COMMENTS MADE IN OUR "GUEST BOOK". "Thank you so much for the accommodations. We enjoyed it so much. Much love & aloha" Michael & Doreen I.Mar 08. --- "We are a group of 14 from Washington University in St Louis Missouri, studying environmental sustainability issues and volcanism. We loved Jadehouse, it is our second trip here. The accommodations here were lovely... from firewood to bathroom tissue to lots of fresh water." Jan 10,09. ---"We are a group of seven from Alaska and Australia. We have enjoyed our stay -- with perfect weather. Many thanks for the fruit basket & that interesting "rombuton"?, that was a first for most of us. Your house is very spacious & we really enjoyed the wood stove. The Park sure was convenient. Just not enough time to do all those trails. I guess we'll just have to come back!" Richard D. Jan 09. --- "Arrived around dusk... we were absolutely flabbergasted once we got here. This hidden gem provided everything we needed and we had two very restful nights here. The "extras" were an absolute delight and I know this is definitely a place I will come back to in the near future". Mahalo Sam & friends S. Feb 09
