  Wonderful stay. House is beautifully decorated, linen is first class, kitchen is well equipped, not only with equipment and appliances but with seasonings and sauces. DVD collection is outstanding. On top of all this, location is perfect, very close to the National Park and Volcano village but with a rural air about it. Garden is lovely - as are the birds that frequent it. We loved it and would stay again if we ever get the opportunity.

  Hale Koa Nani was perfect for our vacation at Volcano National Park from start to finish. The home is beautifully furnished as shown in the listing's photos. Everything is very clean and well maintained. The owner was extremely helpful, both answering questions before our stay and mailing back a lost earring afterward. We were even welcomed with a can of macadamia nots and macadamia coffee cake in the kitchen...a nice surprise. The location is perfect for visiting Volcano National Park. We enjoyed the Thai Thai restaurant. We will recommend this rental property to any friend traveling to Volcano National Park.

  This is a lovely house. The owner could not have been more helpful and gracious. The house is located close to the entrance of Volcanos National Park and about 5 miles from the village of Volcano. It is amazingly well stocked with everything you might need, including flashlights, an umbrella, video system with tons of DVDs, lots of books, kitchen appliances, computer printer, condiments, and washer/dryer. It was so clean, and the owner had decorated it for Christmas when we were there. The nearby little village of Volcano has a couple of restaurants (we liked the Lava Rock Cafe) and a tiny general store. If you are staying any length of time, you will want to stock up on groceries in Hilo or Kona before heading up the mountain (although Hilo is only about 45 minutes away).

  Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

  Owner response: Rebecca, Thank you so much for the appreciation you show for our house. We hope you'll be able to return to enjoy it again. Amy & Joe

  Hale Koa Nani was a perfect retreat and comfy home base while exploring the island. We all needed some peace and rest and the sounds of the birds, the blue sky ( and whispy fog at times) bordered by Ohia trees was super serene. Our helper Amy made this last minute decision a good one, and was very accomidating, and prompt in returning calls, and answering questions. Great for families, or a couple looking to relax, and have peace, or have a good home base while enjoying the volcano park just seconds away or the rest of the Big Island. Thanks again Amy for all your help!

  My wife and I enjoyed three lovely days at this house at the end of our 2-week trip to Hawaii. The neighborhood is secluded and quiet, and the house was well maintained. I would recommend this house to any friends or relatives who wish to visit the Volcanos area on the Big Island.

  We stayed at Hale Koa Nani for several days in late March to visit the volcano and the park. We enjoyed the home immensely. This house is exceptionally sweet and in a great location! It’s on a nice quiet street at the end of a cul-de-sac near the park and just west of the town of Volcano. The home has nice size rooms perfectly set up for a family or couples to share. The kitchen has every appliance, cooking instrument, pan and/or dish you will need to cook a full meal. There’s a full entertainment system with a great library of DVD’s and cable as well as high speed internet. The garage is set up as the laundry room and while you’re waiting for your laundry you can get a few games of ping pong in on the table located there. Joe’s father is an artist and the home is appointed with his work. I have to say that all of it was great to look at. Amy and Joe are great folks and very accommodating. As I indicated, our family enjoyed our stay in this home and we’ll definitely rent here again on our next visit the Big Island and you would do well to rent here too on your visit.

  We found the house clean, inviting, nicely appointed and comfortable. After a few days of being in a high rise resort on the Kona side, it was refreshing to have a place to ourselves to unwind. One of the great things about this house is that it is a little off the beaten path, depsite its proximity to the Volcanos National Park. When you are staying in the house you have your own little world, yet it is close enough that you can go to the park in the morning, come back to the house and have lunch and relax a bit, and then go back to the park in the late afternoon. That way you get to see the lava flowing at night which is spectacular, and then it's just a short drive back to the house to fix dinner. The house is also close enough to Hilo that you can use it as a base for a day trip there. Note: there is not a lot of shopping nearby, so bring what you need and you'll be fine. Summary: We found the place delightful and reasonably priced. If we had it to do over again, we wouldn't change a thing.

  We stayed at Hale Koa Nani five times. The setting among the native koa trees is is lovely. A completely furnished kitchen simplified our stay. Since it was vacation, we took advantage of the restaurants in Volcano. Being near the Volcanoes National Park is a plus. We love the improvements the owners have made over the years to make our stay more enjoyable -- a ping pong table this stay. The local owners are very easy to work with and make sure the house is in A-one condition. Original artwork by the owner's father is an amenity few places let us enjoy. We recommend the tastefully decorated Hale Koa Nani to everyone.

  Owner response: We love return guests! Thank you for enjoying our house.

  What a lovely home that became our retreat for the days we spent in Volcano. The property was clean, incredibly comfortable and welcoming. I loved the selection of books and movies! In addition to the many things to see at the Volcanoes National Park, we had several fine meals at nearby restaurants, and found places to shop nearby, including the swap meet on Saturday morning that had some great bargains. This is an excellent get-away that we highly recommend!

  Owner response: Thank you for your kind words and excellent review. We are always striving to make the house more comfortable and welcoming, and glad you found it to be so.

  Hospitality with grace and generosity, beautiful surroundings, and delicious breakfasts to get us started--we could not have asked for anything more at the Hale Koa Nani. Aloha and Mahalo.
