Lovely house and pool

3 friends stayed in a 3 bedroom house. The house is ultra clean, the beds are super comfy. The swimming pool is stunning! The house is beautiful too! Fantastic kitchen and gorgeous bathrooms! There is a but … the pool is very detached from the house. This is because the main and only stairs are outside the front of the house, the pool is out the back. It’s a long way to walk to the pool. The lanai is on the 1st floor (not on the ground floor) and overlooks that beautiful pool. But it is very detached from it. (ideally a staircase needs to go from the lanai down to the pool) The 3rd bedroom on the ground floor, again is quite detached from the house because of the outside staircase. I like the front staircase, but … ideally you need 2 more stairs, one inside the house and one from the lanai to that lovely pool. The gardens are lovely, the planting around the pool is beautifully colourful. The noise of the frogs at night is mental! After a couple of days it fades into the background. We had a marvellous stay - thankyou! I didn’t realise that Hilo and it’s surrounds are so tropical.

Kea’au house with pool

We enjoyed our stay at the Kea’au house very much. We especially liked the kitchen and outdoor pool and landscaping. The only complaint and reason for 4 stars is a problem with a lot of small black bugs that were attracted to the lights and seemed to be in the house. Just needs some thorough pest control as everything else was great.

Wonderful home, a perfect rental

This house was wonderful! Its location to Hilo and Volcanoes NP was exactly what we needed. The pool was something we didn’t know we needed until we were there and spent so much time there after adventuring each day. I also appreciated how well stocked this house was. We rent VRBOs often and the fact this house had a knife block AND a knife sharpener is AMAZING. Those little things can really make a difference. Plus the use of a cooler and cold blocks in the freezer! Tons of Tupperware for storing food. Those things really make this home owner stand out to us. Loved it and would stay again!

Beautiful Home - Perfect Stay

We were five family adults there for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This home couldn’t have been more perfect. The common area (living room, kitchen and dining) was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed. We prepared a Thanksgiving meal there that was truly special. The bedrooms were all large with comfortable beds. One of the bedrooms has a separate outside entrance, but it was just a quick walk outside down the stairs, so it was no problem at all to access. The private pool is beautiful and very well maintained, as is all the outside property. The home’s location is in a large residential area that is a 20-25 minute drive into Hilo. But the quiet setting, away from the busy tourists areas, was welcome at the end of a long day of sightseeing. The owner Melanie was friendly, responsive and helpful with the couple of questions that we had. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we would definitely book it again, should we be fortunate enough to return to Hawaii.

Great Property!

House was very clean and had plenty of room for our family of 4. One bedroom has separate access, which worked fine for us but may not work for families with younger children. We really enjoyed the backyard and pool. We swam every afternoon/evening when we got home from activities and used the charcoal grill a couple of times. The house did stay a bit warm for us at night and the frogs were pretty loud with the windows open, but we have AC in our house and like to keep it pretty cool at night. It’s around a 45-50 minute drive to Volcanoes National Park, about 35-40 minutes to Hilo, and 15-20 to Keaau (grocery store and a few restaurants). I had a question about checkout and Melanie responded right away. Overall, we really enjoyed it.

Beautiful home

We had a wonderful stay! The house was very spacious and the pool area was amazing! There isn't any air conditioning but the room and extra fans kept it very comfortable. Good location between Volcano and Hilo so it was easy to get to everything we wanted to see and do on that side of the island. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

We loved this beautiful Hawaiian home. It excelled with easy living layout, comfortable beds, exceptional kitchen, but the most essential, for this side of the island, the superbly sparkling pool to cool off after our days exploring!

Perfect family spot with pool

We enjoyed the quieter neighborhood with local food spots 10-15 min away. Having our own pool was the highlight of every afternoon for our 2 year old. Having games, pool toys and towels were so helpful. We cooked several meals in the fully stocked kitchen and appreciated the bar soap and bottled water when we arrived! Although beaches weren’t super close, we will happily stay here again as a family!

Wonderful vacation home

We loved our stay in this lovely home. The property was beautiful and the pool was a huge hit with the kids. The house feels very spacious and open. You fall asleep to the jungle noises outside. The beds are very comfy and there is plenty of seating in the dining room, living room and outside. The owners seem to have thought of everything. The pantry is stocked with spices and random things left by previous guests, which was very appreciated. There are plenty of glasses and plasticware and storage containers and cookware. We made our own food most days, and all of this was very convenient and helpful. There are coolers, beach towels, plenty of linens and blankets. My kids also loved playing Yahtzee and the other games that were there. It was very hard to leave the place. If we do come back, we will be staying there again!

We loved our stay here so much. Spacious, beautiful and clean home and a delight to play in the pool every day. A little bit off the beaten path on the cooler side of the island but a gorgeous location tucked away in a quiet neighborhood with the sound of crashing waves on the cliffs nearby. Would absolutely stay again.
