The Host was very nice and very accommodating. They had a separate water filtration set up next to the sink that was very nice. There was a lot of spices to choose from coffee filters, egg fuel canned items, ice cube trays that were full and ready for use. The hot tub was exceptional and the Crow's Nest was really nice. Overall we had a great time and really enjoyed the home.
The house felt like a comfortable home. It had all of the amenities were desired. The location, the design, the whole experience was spectacular. We will return.
This a very special home ..In a very special place...With a Beautiful Yard and stunning views of the Ocean Love this place so much we stayed here 2 separate trips my 3 week trip this go around was so awesome We did not want to leave ..and hope that we can visit again in the future. The host is very kind and accommodating and easy to contact
We just loved staying here. We loved the pool, the view, the location, the arrangement with outdoor dining and more. This is our 4th time in this neighborhood and this is our favorite home. We visited many local attractions and restaurants and always enjoyed returning to this home.
We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was the best place we stayed at for the 2 weeks we were here. The place was very cute and clean. We loved the open concept. The lava cliffs were apart of our nightly routine and definitely worth going to see! We can’t wait to come back!
My husband and I stayed in this property for 4 nights. The outdoor space is fantastic! So private and relaxing. We enjoyed sunset on the lava shore with crashing waves. The house had everything we needed. Thanks for a great stay.
Palm Tree Paradise is more than we ever expected! The online pictures don't do it justice. The home is very well stocked with all the basics and comforts of home. The backyard is paradise! The neighborhood is clean and friendly. We would definitely return to this home in paradise!
Beautiful home with ocean view! Very clean and kitchen had everything you might want to cook. Backyard was an oasis! Quiet and peaceful area to explore east side of island. The outdoor shower off the master was a highlight! Would recommend to anyone. Bedrooms are well separated from each other for separation of space.
What a beautiful house and location. The pool was AMAZING! 5/5 stars. Only thing that happened was the hot tub was broken. Owner tried to get a part to fix it but hey this this the big island puna. Nothing happens fast there. Did not really effect our stay as the pool was 87 deg even at night. Will definitely stay again!!
We appreciated the well-appointed kitchen (it has most every kitchen appliance and tool you could possibly need, including the pineapple core cutter-outer if you want to make a fancy home-made tropical drink) Orchids and palm trees!
The photos do not do this place justice. We enjoyed spending a few days at this peaceful, spacious house. Everything we could wish for in a vacation rentals was provided for us. The property is very quiet, and all you hear is bird song and the ocean in the distance. Will be staying here again in the future.
The property was wonderful. Very private and quiet. The gardens are lovely and the layout of the house is unique. My sons and I loved the pool and the lanai. We’d have dinner or breakfast out on the lanai. Definitely will stay again. Hilo is the only place for stores and places to eat and that was a 25 minute drive. We bought food from Walmart and cooked at the house.
The photos and the description just don’t do it justice. This place was absolutely amazing. Beautiful pool/lanai area was totally private. Home was in amazing condition and had everything and anything you could ever need. Perfect place for a couple or two couples getting away. The location is about 20 minutes south of Hilo. Totally isolated and perfect for someone looking to just unwind and relax.
Best retal home we've ever stayed. Description was accurate but did not do the properly justice. Absolutly beautiful and relaxing. The owners have very thorough directions for everything and have great communication.
Thank you!
We'll be back soon.
Walking through the front door and seeing that beautiful atrium felt like walking into paradise! Our stay here was by far the best property we've stayed at. And that is saying a lot because we've been to the island's 7 times now. This place is super secluded and private. It is stocked with everything you would need and then some in a house. We enjoyed every minute spent here and hope to return soon. Thank you Stephanie for allowing our stay. We will forever cherish our momories here!
This place is amazing. Very private and quiet. You have a very private pool in an absolutely gorgeous back yard, located in a quiet friendly neighborhood. Ocean view from the eagle nest on the roof of the covered lanai. Unique, beautiful, well-appointed home. AC in the bedrooms, outdoor shower in the master bedroom is fantastic. Stephanie is very easy and fantastic to deal with. David & Deb
This vrbo was amazing! I’ve never seen a house quite like it. You walk in the front door, directly into an open atrium & then the beautiful backyard full of plants, flowers, and fruits! Not to mention the beautiful pool and hottub. The house is split into two both sides include a bedroom, one with the kitchen, the other with the living room! Both sides well stocked with everything you could need for your stay indoors or outdoor beach activities. Highly recommended!

Hosted by Stephanie Foster
We purchased the property in 1999. With the help of Don and Lynn, designer-architect-contractor, and a few idea's of my own, we came up with amazing home. And when we were broke and needed landscaping we turned to the cheapest thing around, palm trees. And what a beautiful thing that turned out to be!
