Mary was the perfect host! She offered great advice on the best places to visit. Mary's Jade Ohana property was absolutely perfect and exactly what we were looking for this time visiting the Big Island. Close to so many things, yet secluded and peacefully, the perfect getaway! The property was clean, well maintained and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

We had the very best time on our trip and Mary and her property were a huge part of this. The property is beautiful and Mary is just the sweetest host ever. She had lots of books and pamphlets of things to do around the island and communicated with us regularly and easily. We loved being visited by the cats everyday and having space to be on our own without a bunch of other travelers around.The property is located very central to everything with only about a 20-30 min drive. We will definitely be looking to stay there again when we return to the Big Island.

Mary’s lanai was wonderful, clean, private and in an incredible spot. We felt like we were in the middle of a tropical forest. Mary was very helpful with tips about the area and even left us some Hawaiian fruit to enjoy. Recommend without hesitation.

Darlene and Elroy are wonderful guests, so considerate, enjoyable, and interesting. They were here over a month and Darlene kept Jade Ohana apartment very clean and neat. In my years of having a vacation rental she wins the title of "best guests ever" for leaving it perfectly clean and ready for next guests. I highly recommend.

We had a lovely stay at the private Lanai. The property was beautiful, felt like we were staying in the middle of jungle. A very relaxing place to stay. We were welcomed to the property first thing in the morning by a handsome cat named Lovebug. He was very sweet and cuddly and made us feel at home. Mary was an amazing host, she gave us lots of information about the area with things to do and see. The area is beautiful and we really enjoyed walking along the volcanic rock on the ocean side not far from the property. It’s not often we find great peace in a home away from home but we loved our stay in this very special place. My only regret is we should have stayed longer!

The place was absolutely wonderful—spotlessly clean and equipped with all the amenities you could want for a cozy stay. The owner went above and beyond, always warm and welcoming, and even offered fresh fruits that added a lovely touch. It truly felt like a home away from home!

We loved our little jungle paradise. Close to so many things, yet far from the noise of civilization. The covered lanai surrounded by trees and flowers was the perfect getaway. An easy drive to Hilo, Volcano and Pahoa. We even drove to Waimea one day. Mary is a lovely and helpful hostess. We hope we have the opportunity to come here again.
