The house and the property were great. It was very well stocked and clean. The host was exceptionally responsive and helpful. We would rate it a 4.5 if that option was available. The only thing keeping it from a full 5 is the lack of A/C.

Love the jungle

Love the jungle feel! The sounds of birds all day and frogs at night. You have all the privacy you want, but are still close to town for any needs and many attractions. Will definitely be coming back! We both said on our last day we didn’t want to leave.

I absolutely loved my stay here and am looking at a return trip! The house is extremely well stocked. It is quiet, secluded, grounds are beautiful! I enjoyed picking avacados right on the property. It is gated and safe. Bed is comfortable. It does get warm in August and no a/c which is common here. There are fans available. The nights cool off well. Host was available and responsive. I give the overall rating a 5 and look forward to a return stay! Mahalo

Beautiful Secluded Property

This property is gorgeous! Every step around it is a view of a different flower, plant or fruit tree. We love the lushness of this side of the island. We stayed 4 nights of our honeymoon here. The house was perfect for us. Very relaxing! Clean, comfortable and private.

A real getaway!

If you want a real retreat from your normal day to day, the Jungalow may be just the place for you. A roomy, well stocked bungalow - perfect for two. Surrounded by tropical jungle - complete with nature's symphony as 'background music' - this is an ideal getaway spot. We loved our time in this unique location and will not soon forget our experience there!

A True Paradise

We have visited the Hawaii area over the years and love the wild beauty of this Island! Finding this "Jungalow" has just added a true motivation to return (again and again). This beautiful bungalow sits on a gorgeous piece of manicured property. Our favorite memory is sitting on the lanai watching clouds, birds, sun, plants, rain (sometimes all in the same hour!)_. This VRBO is completely stocked, beautifully furnished and so comfortable! We highly recommend!

Another week in Paradise's Jungalow

This is our second stay in this unique Jungalow on a beautiful piece of property.... it felt like "coming home" as we drove down the winding driveway. The home has incredible views of its own "rain forested jungle" with fruit trees, orchids, birds etc. I love cooking in their fully stocked kitchen and then leisurely reading on the lovely lanai. We spent each morning at The Cliffs for walks at dawn - just a few minutes away. Sightseeing in Hilo and the surrounding area is only 20 minutes away. We can't wait to return!

Perfect Hilo-side Homebase

We loved the Jungalow! The place was clean, well-stocked with necessities, and the location was perfect (for us). I didn’t need a single thing from the host but I did ask a few questions and she was responsive. Deb has great recommendations for restaurants in nearby Pahoa which we frequented. The house cooled down really nicely at night with the windows open and fan going. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to friends. Thanks for a great stay!

Jungalow in Paradise

This house is simply perfect. Sit on the lanai and soak in the songs of nature, frogs serenading in the evening, birds chirping in the mornings, waves roaring against the cliffs in the distance. A great way to start and finish your days here. The house is great, perfect place to reset and reconnect, super clean, well equipped, everything you need and nothing you don't. Pahoa and Keaau are close, Hilo within 30 minutes. Thanks for a lovely trip, can't wait to return to the Jungalow in the near future.
