Exceptional!

Comfortable Oasis in the middle of the rainforest
We booked this place on the basis of previous reviews and weren't disappointed. Large one bedroom apartment with full kitchen, LR, study, full bath, bedroom, W&D, and 3 sided fireplace for heating the area on cool nights. This place looks like a home and not a typical apartment rental. Set amid the rainforest greenery, the property itself is surrounded by beautiful tropical foliage and banana/lemon trees. Kalij pheasants wander the backyard. Easy accessibility to Volcano National Park and other surrounding attractions. Owner Vickie was very pleasant and helpful.
Wonderful place in Rain Forest and near Volcanoes National Park
Great place to stay! Beautiful location only one mile from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and easy travel to many other parts of the Big Island. Large, comfortable living areas including a full kitchen, which we used to cook most of our meals. Also not far from some nice restaurants for any meals you prefer not to cook for yourself. Owner Vicki is very friendly and was helpful in giving us suggestions that helped us increase our enjoyment of the island! We would definitely choose to stay here again on a future trip!
All the comforts of home
This cozy bungalow is tucked into the rainforest and as the other reviewers have said, it is a wonderful place to stay. My partner and I just spent a week there and used it as a base to explore the Volcano NP, Puna and K"au. Coming home at night to a fully stocked kitchen and a fireplace was a great way to relax at the end of the day. Vicky is an artist and has great taste in the paintings, photos, and ceramics that make this VRBO rental a unique and personal place to stay. She is also a great resource.
A Volcano Village Find!
What a great place to stay in Volcano Village— much larger than a bungalow. We stayed four nights and loved it! The rental is surrounded by beautiful, lush scenery of gigantic ferns, tall trees, and fragrant flowers. The house is clean and has everything you could imagine-- a fully stocked, large kitchen, a library of reading material, artwork, two very comfortable beds, washer/dryer, and lots of large windows to enjoy the lovely scenery typical of Volcano Village. The on-site owner, Vicky, was kind and accommodating. We greatly appreciated her telling us about the Big Island volcanoes and taking us to the observatory. We would definitely recommend staying here.
We loved it.
My husband and I spent a week in this wonderful, lovely, and quiet private home. The house is very spacious yet cozy. The fireplace is a great plus. We used it as a base to explore the Volcano National Park, Puna, and Hilo. The owner, Vicki, was very helpful and warm. She also gave us a tour to the Volcano Observation Laboratory which was extremely interesting. We enjoyed our stay very much and highly recommend this place as a home away from home on the Big Island.
Healing retreat
My 20-year-old son and I stayed at Ho’omaika’i and it truly was a blessing. Serrendipity brought us to Ho’omaika’i. The house was appointed with cut flowers and greenery in the hostess' beautifully handcrafted ceramic vases, and each room had a different arrangement. Our hostess welcomed us into her home and spent precious time to share with us about the volcano area, her love and knowledge of volcanos, and also life in the islands. She gave us plenty of privacy and was always available if we needed her attention. There are a number of rooms in the house and the yard is private and landscaped with rainforest species. The house is clean and well stocked. The kitchen had all the appliances, dishware, cookware, and condiments needed to cook at home. A visit to the grocery store before arrival is smart as supplies are limited in Volcano. The house is located very close to the National park and to town. The volcano area is definitely a magical place. Our hostess and her lovely home made our healing and memorable vacation. I couldn't imagine doing it any other way. Thank you!
