We enjoyed our stay in this huge home.. The large kitchen Is a good place to cook meals together and the yard was the perfect place to enjoy them. The kitchen and bathroom were stocked well. There are AC units in the lower bedrooms, many ceiling fans and moveable standing fans for other places in the house. It’s a good place for multiplecouple or families to spend time together.

Thanks so much for staying with us! We’re glad the home had plenty of room for everyone to spread out and hang together. Sounds like the big kitchen and yard came in clutch, and we’re happy the setup worked well for your group.
Great stay close to Hilo and Volcano National Park. The house fit two families comfortably, with plenty of space for kids and teens. Everything was clean, well stocked, and easy to settle into. The host communicated quickly and clearly, which made things smooth. Perfect for a short stay and definitely recommend.

Thanks for the great write-up and for choosing our place. It’s good to hear the location made getting to Hilo and the park easy, and that the house gave everyone plenty of room to spread out without stepping on each other’s toes. We’re glad it felt clean, well stocked, and easy to settle into, and that communication kept things running smoothly. We’d happily host you again if you’re ever back this way.
We ran into a couple problems in the first couple days and messaged the host. He was extremely responsive and our water issue was IMMEDIATELY addressed. We had plenty of room for all 8 of us. The kitchen was fantastic, we did prepare a couple meals during our stay and all necessary utensils were available. The beds were extremely comfortable. We awoke in the morning ready for the next days adventures. I would definitely return to this home if we were traveling as a group again.

Thank you for the great review. I’m glad we were able to nip that water issue in the bud right away and keep your stay running smoothly.
Sounds like the house fit your group like a glove, especially with the kitchen getting some good use and those comfy beds doing their job. Nothing better than waking up recharged and ready to roll.
We’d happily host your crew again anytime.
We were a small university field biology course. Good location for us. This is a beautiful property! My only complaint was that the outside garbage from the previous stay was not disposed of. No place to put our garbage.

I was unable to open my email to get the access code when arriving to the property. I didnt know there would be no phone service in tha area. Eventually had to use the rong cam to get the code verbally. The water pressure was really low, at times a fine stream from the sinks & showers. Hot water was low, not sure why. We had to make sure our guests showered one at a time to see if this would help with water pressure and hot water availability. Other than that, the house was beautiful. Kitchen and room accommodations was filled with what is needed.
10 of us stayed July 15-22, 2025. Two families plus an extra niece and my daughter's boyfriend. There was plenty of space to spread out or come together. The beds were all very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with any pan or skillet you need. The gated entrance added to the peace of the house. The house looks just like the pictures. We wanted a place out of town but not isolated, and boy did we find it! This place is a hidden gem tucked away in a quiet community where you can sit outside and enjoy the sounds of nature.

Thanks a ton, Susan. We’re so glad your crew had the space to spread out and still come together when you wanted. Love hearing that the beds hit the comfort mark and the kitchen had everything you needed. That quiet, tucked-away feel is one of our favorite things too, so it’s awesome you got to enjoy it. Would love to have you all back anytime.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Spacious & Modern Pāhoa Retreat Near Kehena Beach! Our group ranged in age from 87 to 96, with one 44-year-old, and this home was perfect for everyone. While it has two levels, the layout was spacious and beautifully designed, making it comfortable and easy to navigate.The colors and design made everyone feel very special—like it was a real treat to be there. The bathrooms were large and well-appointed, and the linens were soft and high-quality, adding to the overall comfort. The beds were all very comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked, and the home had everything we could have wanted to make our stay enjoyable.We had the opportunity to meet the owner of the home while we were there and the kindness that was shown to our group is enough to make me be a cheerleader for this property. Also, the management company was super responsive and very helpful! The peaceful location was ideal, offering a quiet retreat while still being close to all local attractions. They were in the process of finishing an outdoor kitchen and a whole outdoor area, which will be amazing once completed. If we ever get the chance to return to the Big Island, we would love to stay here again!This is a beautiful property and we made forever memories there. Thankful that we chose this place!

HI Nikki, Wow, thank you for such a thoughtful and heartfelt review. It means a lot to hear that the home worked so well for your group and that everyone, from 44 to 96, felt comfortable and at home. We love that the space gave off that special "treat to be there" vibe. That is exactly what we aim for.
So glad you felt the comfort in the little things like the linens, layout, and overall design. And how great that you got to meet the owner. We agree, their kindness is something special. Appreciate the shoutout to our team too. We always try to be as helpful and responsive as possible.
Thanks again for choosing this place and for all the kind words. We'd love to have you back anytime you're headed to the Big Island again.
The host was super helpful with any questions we had. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed for our 7 night stay.
