Our beautiful stay

My husband and I ended our visit to the Big Island by staying at this lovely property in Hilo for a few nights. We were aware that this side of the island gets a considerable amount of rain, especially this time of the year. We talked about possibly returning next year when the weather and numerous fruit trees are producing. .

Paradise vacation place

Great place to stay in! Hosts very attentive to your needs, fresh fruits you can pick yourself every day. BBQ works well, and has a side too for making breakfast. Only downside is the neighbouring dogs that bark. Other then that, great place!

Quaint and relaxing

Our stay was so relaxing and chill. We especially loved the nature of this stay. While the bungalow was a respite, we enjoyed climbing Mauna Kea and hiking to Shipman beach to see the turtles. Hilo has old world charm that beats Kona in our book.

Definitely a hidden getaway

The place was a little more rustic than we anticipated. The water is not drinkable, but we were supplied with plenty of bottled water from the host. The propane tank to heat the water for the shower was empty by the final morning, so we needed to have cold showers. But otherwise the place was great. Try to arrive during daylight, it’s a hidden gem :)

Amazing little cottage

Had a great stay at this lovely property. The little cottage is perfect for two and the Hawaii weather makes the outdoor living area so enjoyable .

Why they chose this property

Aloha... We purchased this property back 2014 and started clearing the land and planting Palm trees and Exotic Tropical Fruits that we love to eat and to explore new fruits, and practice sustainability. Now that the trees are bearing we can share our slice of paradise that we are proud of.
