Beautiful views of nature
We’ve visited this property several times now. We love it everytime the beautiful lush green trees in back give you that jungle vibe. The sounds of the coqui and other animals is actually sp calming to my spirit. Weve had many family dinners or played board games out on the lanai. Take a breathtaking drive up the road and find secret spots with palm trees and crashing ocean waves!

My stay
Great place to be away from all the tourism. Great site seeing. Only a couple issues. Tried to preheat the oven, opened after about 8 minutes and almost past out from the gas. I did not preheat. Make sure you get to the property during the day or you most likely won’t be able to find it.

Adequate
Not the cleanest. Geckos inside were cute but their feces on the walls wasn't. Slow wi-fi. The two bedrooms are in separate buildings, connected by a covered area that is not screened in...not ideal for our little kids. Loud neighbors partying until 3am kept us up. We left 2 days early.

Beautiful house in a nice, quiet neighborhood
We loved the house and the location. The only thing we didn't like was the check-in. The code that was given didn't work and when I called the Vacasa number, I had to go through a phone tree to finally talk to someone who was then reading script from a computer and had to troubleshoot, with me on the phone. Once we were inside, we found that one of the bedroom doors was locked and it needed a separate key. There was no mention of this in the check-in directions, no mention of it in the house binder. I had to call Vacasa AGAIN, go through the one tree, wait on hold, until they came back with no answer. I finally found the key to the bedroom hanging in the kitchen, but directions to it would have been ideal. VERY frustrating when we were tired and hungry and wanting to settle in. I wouldn't rent from a VACASA property again.

A Special Place
This place has everything you need! A black sand beach within a 5-minute walk, privacy, wildlife, island living, and great amenities if you pack light and don't like to eat out. I went on a solo trip to get away from the main land and city life. I needed to submerge into nature, and this place is about nature. Coqui frogs at night, live-in geckos, chickens roaming around, and maybe some pigs sniffing out bugs (not certain, but thought I heard them in the yard at night and saw tracks in the morning). Then there is the beach! The water is invigorating! The black sand is mesmerizing! And the tropical trees and cliffs provide natural shade when you want out of the sun. My favorite day was Sunday. It was busy with locals, and in the afternoon some people came with instruments and started playing music. The people are friendly and kind and curious. And they are so easy to chat with if you are looking for some human connection, which I was since I was alone all week. Also, please check out the Farmers Market on Saturday morning on the lava in Kalapana. It's a quick 5-minute drive south of the house. There is great Thai food cooked right there, and fresh guava juice. Also, the locals can tell you about how life has changed in that area due to the 2018 eruption. The last thing I will say is the location is great for traveling around the east side of the island, like Hilo and Volcano. It was such a nice spot to return to after a day of hiking or scuba diving.
