Family Friendly Home, with a Man Cave!

Such a wonderful place to stay during our trip to the big island ! It was clean, well stocked and Howard made it so easy to find with his directions. I would definitely suggest going into town for coffee at The Tin Shack.

Spacious house big enough for a family and has everything you need. We loved borrowing the bikes to go bike down to the shore, and playing pool at night to wind down

5 stars from the Sierra family

We concluded our family vacation earlier this week after spending 8 nights in this great house. The 3 bedroom suites worked perfectly for our family with my two sons, two daughters, and my wife and I in our own respective bedrooms with full private baths. While great for our family, this property would also be set up perfectly for a friends/couples getaway. We enjoyed our mornings on the lanai as well as winding down our evenings in the man-cave with darts and pool with the kids.

We definitely made use of the bikes, snorkel gear, and boogie boards provided at the property. The bikes make for a quick and enjoyable ride to the ocean just a few blocks away. Although this section of coastline is not conducive to swimming, it's a beautiful spot to hike, climb around the rocks and enjoy the picturesque setting(s) in either direction.

This property offers a wonderful private escape from touristy traffic while only a easy 25 minute drive into Hilo for whatever you need. While we stayed pretty busy most days around the island, this property made for a great spot for home base with plenty of room and all the accommodations to make for a comfortable stay.

I can't conclude this review without making mention of the property owner Howard or "Uncle Howard" to the kids. Howard is a great guy who's sole interest was ensuring we had a great time and made himself available to answer questions or provide information and or recommendations when wanted or needed. It's apparent he works hard to keep this property in great condition and by admission is continually working to find ways to enhance his guests experience.

No question we'd highly recommend this property and wouldn't hesitate to rent it again should we return to the Big Island in our travels.

Aloha and Mahalo!

We enjoyed our stay at this home. It was clean and tidy. Howard was very helpful during our stay. Perfect for a few days getaway to Hilo.

Wow, where to begin? Lots of space, big house, big garden with coconuts, pineapples, Liliko'i (passion fruits), great „ man cave“ (which works also for girls&women...), special ambiance - close to the active volcano site but still in safe distance, big kitchen, everything maintained and working and last but not least: Howard, the host, discreet, friendly and always ready to help if necessary.

We'll be happy to come back.

We had a wonderful time. The host provides access to bicycles, surf boards and other useful amenities. The home is spacious and welcoming. Location was convenient.
