Om overnatningsstedet

Afsondret * Centralt beliggende * Kæmpe Lanai * Ejendom på stedet

* Udbrudene er standset, og der er ikke mere fare for lavaaktivitet eller dårlig luftkvalitet. 9/6/18.

Et privat studiehytte beliggende på bagsiden af en en hektar stor ejendom. Omgivet af tyk vegetation føler du dig som om du er i junglen! Hvelvede trælofter med synlige bjælker og valgfri svag stemningsbelysning er to vidunderlige funktioner.

Havudsigt er omgivet af 384 kvadratmeter. Lanai, giver dig fred og privatliv. Inkluderet på Lanai er en hængekøje til 2 (op til 500 lbs.), En bærbar gas-grill, der kan tages med til dagsudflugter, havemøbler med myggenet paraplydækning, hjulkøler, strandmåtter, badehåndklæder, snorkler og masker, strandstole, 3 boogie boards, stor parasol og 2 store paraplyer til regnfulde dage. Lanai er 8 fod bred og løber langs to sider af huset og udvider boligarealet. Et tagoverhæng på 4 fod beskytter Lanai på regnfulde dage, så du stadig kan nyde at være udenfor uden at blive våd. Lyt til hanerne og andre naturlyde, når du slapper af med din te eller kaffe.

Der er mange naturlyde rundt omkring os, primært Hawaiian due, coqui-frøer om natten, crickets, fugle og andre frøer. Vi har små hobbyfarme på hver side af os, så du vil også høre deres hunde, ænder, geder, kyllinger og haner. Jeg er klar over, at haner kan være meget irriterende, hvis du ikke er vant til dem, så jeg har to fans i enheden, der kan bruges til at dæmpe lydene. Fra den 14. marts 2017 er der også en lydmaskine med 10 forskellige lydscenarier, der er meget effektive til at dække hanenes galning. Roosters er meget almindelige i hele Puna-distriktet - jeg har endda hørt dem inde i Hilo lufthavns postkontor! Hvis haner er en bekymring, du vil undgå, skal du huske at spørge dine potentielle værter om deres egne eller tilstødende hane.

Indvendig sover op til 4 med en queensize seng og fuld størrelse sovekabine / kærlighed sæde. Sovepladsen er en meget behagelig skummadras uden bar, der kan jabbe dig i ryggen hele natten. Det kan passe op til 3 mellemstore mennesker som et kærlighedssæde, 2 som en seng. Dronningssengen er medium fasthed med en midterste forstærkning til rygstøtte, og jeg har tilføjet en skum / hukommelse skum pad og overdådigt madras dækning for ekstra komfort.

Der er en bærbar legeplade med lag og madraspude til babyerne.

Der er ingen aircondition, men der er to standventilatorer og en loftventilator til at holde kølig.

Parabol-tv og internet er inkluderet. Tv'et er en 39 "LED / HDTV med 120 kanaler.

Komplet køkken med gaskomfur, ovn, køleskab. Det er fuldt udstyret med gryder og pander, redskaber til at spise og lave mad, ris maker, mikroovn, kaffemaskine og Starbucks kaffe, blender, bagelstørrelse brødrister, 25 krydderier og renset vand dispenser. Retter er en service til 4, inklusive tallerkener, skåle, træsalatskåle, store kaffekrus, glas, vinglas, skudglas og kiddie kopper.

Badeværelset har brusekabine, piedestal vask, vasketøjskurv, masser af håndklæder, håndklæder og vaskeklude. Shampoo, balsam, kropsvask og babyvask leveres også. Lægemiddelskabet indeholder et First Aid Kid, peroxid og forskellige OTC-medicin mod hovedpine, allergi og kløe. Vores ejendom har også tankløse varme vandvarmere, så du ikke løber tør for varmt vand.

Du er velkommen til at bruge vores vaskemaskine og tørretumbler placeret i hovedhuset carport opbevaring. Vaskesæbe, blegemiddel og tørretumbler leveres også.

Vi leverer bogen "Hawaii: Den store ø afsløret", så du ikke går glip af andre steder af interesse.

Selvom vores placering er centralt for Hilo, vulkanen og kystlinjerne i nedre Puna, er dette det STORE Ø - det er ikke The Island of Convenience, lol. Med andre ord er der ingen ud af lange drev, uanset hvor du bor. Men drevene er langs lange strækninger af landlige motorveje med meget få stopskilte eller stoplamper, så det er ikke så længe, som det ser ud med hensyn til tid. Hvis du er her længe nok, bliver du vant til det!

At komme hit er super let, og på asfalterede veje hele vejen. Vi glæder os til at se dig!

Send mig en e-mail, hvis du har spørgsmål eller bekymringer, som jeg måske ikke har adresseret her.

We weren’t sure we would like this and were very pleasantly surprised. The owner was very nice and very helpful where to go. She had lots of added things to make the place great. We were able to use a cooler and snorkeling gear to enjoy a day at the beach with a picnic lunch. We would recommend this place and happily stay here again. Only thing is you have to have a car as it was back in a neighborhood. This wasn’t a problem for us.

Perfect location for the Hilo side

This is a great stay for those wishing to explore the Hilo side of the Big Island. It's located in a secluded area that makes you feel like you're in Hawaiian tropical forest. It features a beautiful lanai that makes the morning perfect. Karla was very welcoming and we really appreciated the use of the washer and dryer (particularly with the rain we experienced!)

She met us at check in and answered all our questions. Any other questions throughout the week were answered quickly. Very private location.

Quick stay to see volcano eruption

Karla was a fantastic host - best ever. Unit was also stocked very well. Great location to visit Volcano National Park (45 min drive). We did night viewing to see active lava flow from Kilauea caldera and wanted place close by to shorten drive after long day. Bonus that unit is less than 2 miles from Puna Trail Trailhead which we did 6 mile hike next morning. We had a great nights sleep!

The house was clean and super cute! It has a hammock and an enclosed dining room out on the deck. She also has boogie boards and snorkels, towels, and a cooler. There’s a full kitchen cute living room and a comfy bed. I would rent this house over and over again.

Great little house next to the owner's house. Not a lot of space but cozy. Owner is easy to reach and answers questions quickly. Warm welcome. However the location is not that convenient as it is a good 25 min from Hilo, and the roosters and dogs of the neighborhood are very noisy at night...

Cute, peaceful cottage

We enjoyed our short stay in Karla’s cottage. It is well stocked with everything you will need and more. Karla is very accommodating and informative. After enjoying the Volcano National Park until after dark, it was only a 40 minute drive back to the cottage. We had a great lunch in the Rim Restaurant overlooking the smoking caldera. Driving down the Chain of Crater highway to the ocean and viewing the sea arches and then seeing the lava flow once it was dark were definitely highlights.

I just loved this HPP spot. Karla has created a warm, cozy, welcoming bungalo with every amenity one could need, plus some delightful extras! It's just so serene and pretty...better than the photos, even. Very clean with excellent bathroom, comfy bed, great washer, full kitchen... Easy to get to volcanoes, Hilo, other cool spots. There are dogs, chickens, and sweet coqui frogs in the neighborhood, so if you're noise sensitive there's a sound machine. The lanai is the best, especially the hammock. I would not hesitate to stay here again!

Loved everything about it!!!

Location of this house is nice as it is away from all the bustle of the island. Everything we needed was there ready for us. The house was super clean, extra linens, beach towels, beach gear, coffee, eggs, wine, and so much more! Most people mention something about the chickens, however, I did not seem to find them a problem. However, there is a sound machine and 2 fans if you do need something to drown the sounds Karla makes this house so welcoming and she is very sweet. If you need anything she is willing to help out as she is only one text away. She really did think of it all! I couldn't of asked for a better host!!! I highly recommend staying here if you want someplace "away from it all" to relax!

Wonderful Stay

From the moment we arrived we knew we had made the right decision. Karla greeted us when we arrived and showed us around. We wanted for nothing while we were there. Welcome basket far exceeded expectations, as did the supplies that were there for us to use. The Guidebook provided was very detailed, offered many siggestions and answered a lot of questions we had. Centrally located , was 20 mins to Hilo and 30 mins to Volcano Nat Park. Slept very well as the bed was quite comfortable. Lanai had great patio furniture, comfy hammock and bbq. Landscaping was incredible, we found new plants to look at almost every day. The young pineapples were very cool. Any emails/requests/questions were responded to in minutes. On site laundry was a great bonus as we stayed for a month. We cannot thank you enough for hosting us during our sons graduation from university, We hope to be able to return someday to stay with you again. We cannot recommend this property more. Vacation of a lifetime, and this cottage was a big part of it.

Would Happily Return for another Adventure in Hilo

First Karla is a great host. She provides everything you might need for your initial stay. She even had cream for coffee. That was above and beyond. ...and coffee....and fresh eggs... If anything was missing she took care of it immediately. Now the property. The house is lovely and nicely decorated and immaculate. The bed is high quality and very comfortable. Ahhh the lanai. We spent every morning out there watching and listening to the birds and the local farm animals. She has part of the lanai screened just in case there are any insects. . We didn't have any problems with insects. The coqui frogs are out there but they are pretty much every where in Hilo. They did not bother us. Karla's house is in a rural area so there are farm animals making farm animal sounds but again did not bother us. All in all a wonderful Experience.

Great Rainforest Getaway

We loved staying here in Hawaii Paradise Park. The property had everything we needed and more. We would definitely stay again. We did use the noise machine to sleep, but honestly the roosters and dog noises never bothered me. I would not bring more than 2 people. There's not much walkway around the bed and couch and no dining room seating. Pros: - Amazing welcome food - eggs, cream, wine, and chocolate covered macadamia nuts - Snorkeling gear (even a new mask), beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, flippers, cooler, literally everything was available - Tons of extra towels and wash cloths provided - Extra toilet paper supplied - The table and hammock on the lanai were wonderful - The lanai is literally surrounded by beautiful trees and plants. You don't feel like you're in a residential neighborhood, you feel like you're in the middle of a secluded jungle - The host is very responsive and helpful. The water stopped working one night and they fixed it immediately. Cons - Tap water is not safe to drink, but the host provided plenty of drinkable water in a large jug - The home is pretty outdated, which leads to things feeling more grimey - My husband felt like the home was clean but I am very OCD on cleanliness - there was black mold in the bathroom sink caulk and in the refrigerator door rubber gasket - The whole home could use a deep clean, as I saw grime on the toilet tank and walls. The common used areas were clean. - Several dishes in the cupboard had grease or caked food on them - No dishwasher

Attention to detail

We only stayed for 3 nights, but Karla's place was in the perfect location for exploring the East Coast of the Big Island and Volcanoes National Park. Karla met us when we arrived and introduced us to her cottage. Her pride of ownership shows both in talking with her and also in all the little things about the cottage that made staying here very convenient and comfortable. She has a notebook that she prepared with menus and descriptions of all the local restaurants, locations of grocery stores, and especially all the beaches, most of which we would not have found without the guidance in her notebook. My wife particularly enjoyed laying in the hammock on the lanai. We would highly recommend Karla's cottage when staying on the big Island.

Lovely Stay

This studio has it all - everything needed to make your own meals, beach gear (snorkels, boogie boards, chairs, mats), and a wonderful outdoor eating/relaxing area. Karla is very friendly and wants the best for her guests. Her attention to detail is evident throughout the rental - from the welcome gift of eggs, butter, creamer, chocolates, and wine to the turtle covers on the toilet bolts (too cute - and something I want to find for myself!). A perfect place to stay, relax, and explore the Hilo side of the island. As with any place in Hawai'i, there are roosters. The host provides a white noise machine that works to keep them from waking you. There are also coqui frogs - which we quite enjoy, but can be loud at night if you're not used to them. The white noise machine works to cancel their noise, too. Wifi is strong, so digital nomads could work from here. Definitely a 10/10.

Om værten

Vært: Karla Nava

Værtens profilbillede
We are Joel and Karla Nava. I'm 61 and he's 55. Joel and I have been married for 27 years and we have one son between us, Lakota, who is 26. I also have 3 other adult children in the mainland and 5 grandchildren. Joel works in I/T and I have been a homemaker for the past 10 years.

We took our first vacation to Kauai in 2006 and decided then that we had to live in Hawaii - but which island? So from there we vacationed on Maui in 2010, and Oahu and the Big Island in 2013. Due to economic and island growth factors, we decided that the Hilo side of the Big Island would be home. After a lot of saving up, we returned to the Big Island in Feb 2015 to purchase our new home!

Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted

We chose this property because it is central to Hilo, Volcanoes National Park and Pahoa. It also had a separate guest cottage that we could turn into a vacation rental for extra income. It is unique in that it has 4 separate structures on the property - the main house, a detached carport, a work shop, and the guest cottage in the back. (The work shop will not be used while guests are visiting.) We love the tropical lushness and the affordability factor compared to the other islands.

Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt

Unique benefits for this location is being so close to an active volcano and having 11 of the 13 climate zones right here on one island! You don't have to travel far to be in a whole new world and we love that. If you wake up to endless rain in Hilo, go spend the day on the Kona side or make your way above the clouds and watch the sunset on Mauna Kea! Tip: You will be told that you need a 4WD vehicle to go to the summit of Mauna Kea and this is true, but only after you've reached the Visitor Center at the 9000ft. level. You can drive a non-4WD up to the Visitor's Center but the ascent can be very rough on vehicles, so I recommend that you stop and rest the car every mile or two for about 5 or 10 minutes. The Visitors Center is at the 6th mile. Things to see and do at this level are walking a path through the rare silversword plants and hiking to the top of a cinder cone hill to get a view of Mauna Loa, the clouds below and the sunset. The Visitor's Center also has a gift shop and hot drinks for sale.

As for the property itself, we fell in love with the spacious lanais that allow you to enjoy sitting outside in the cool breeze and just taking in all the sounds of nature, no matter if it is the heat of the day or if it is pouring rain. All of our dinners are had out on the lanai! Another great feature is the tankless hot water heaters - no running out of hot water, unless you run out of propane! In that case, we can have you hooked up with a new tank right away.
