Ainani Jade Ohana Home near Volcano!

Let me start by saying our disappointment was partially due to the fact that Volcano National Park was not open due to the volcanic activity. We chose this property because it was located so close to the entrance of the park. Not being able to go into the park meant we had a good drive to go do other things on the island. If the park is open, at some point, I'd recommend the property for just that reason. In addition to the location, we had a few other issue on our arrival. After a 16 hour travel day we arrived at the home and couldn't get in because we were given the wrong combination for the lock. It took us a while to get that sorted out with the owners. When we finally got in we found we did not have any water because the pump had been turned off for some reason. We were able to get that rectified after some calls back and forth with the owners. Then we were going to throw some burgers on the grill to feed the kids and found the gas grill had no propane. So not a great start to say the least... however things did get better. The home itself, the spaciousness and cleanliness was good. Plenty of towels, sheets and some basic supplies. The drinking water says it's filtered but it did not taste good at all so we bought bottled water instead. I would not tell people to avoid this property I would just suggest you check in with the owners ahead of time to make sure things are in working order and you have correct access info prior to your arrival.

A multi generational family group of 9 adults, stayed here using both upstairs and downstairs. We arrived late in the afternoon and found lights on to welcome us. Everyone had their own bed, which come with electric blankets. It was comfortable, cheap, secure and convenient. The kitchen is well equipped. There are heaters for the colder evenings and a wood stove. Furnishings are a little dated. The showers were hot, but as they use only rainwater you are asked to limit shower length.

We would stay again if with a large group as it was a good budget option.

They need a new visitors book! It was full.

Wonderful house. Big, very cozy, beautifully furnished, in amazing place. Great location, ,very close to Volcano national park and nearest village centre with restaurants. Big thanks to owner. Merlenna was very helpful, She provides us with all necessary information that made our trip easier and absolutely pleasant. Highly recommend to stay there. You will feel like at home.

Definitely recommend, super easy to work with. We were only there a couple days, wish it were longer but it was to support some ultra runners coming thru. Plenty of space for a large group or multiple families. Loved that there was an extended area downstairs to rent.

Rented a house in Kona-Kailua - double booked one night at the Jade House in Volcano for convenience. Traveling with my wife, our 3 adult children and their significant others. Easy to find, everything was clean, and a great space for all eight of us. The added basement suite for just a token cleaning fee was a great deal. Convenient to Volcano National Park, and a reasonable drive to Hilo and Kalapana to rent bikes and hike the lava. The fern 'forest' around the house made a big impression. Very quiet neighborhood. Next time around we'll spend more time on the green side of the island!
