Lovely location, great view, feels very private (trees do a good job of making it hard to see other houses). Stayed here 2 years ago, and enjoyed it so much we came back. Couple nice restaurants in Pahoa and Hilo isn't far either. Jim and Meagan are very responsive and helped us when we ran into issues (neighborhood power was out for a few hours when we arrived).

My wife and I brought our two daughters and their husbands to enjoy a week of island paradise. This place delivered. We had a magical time. The place was beautiful, and the location was ideal for getting to waterfalls, beaches and volcanos. Our only regret was not having another week to stay.

Our family had a wonderful time watching the crashing waves! The house was comfortable, well equipped, and beautifully situated.

We stayed here for 5 nights and I wish it would have been 25!
Comfortable beds, wonderful air conditioning. We spent several hours just staring at the ocean and even saw dolphins, whales, and turtles right out the back.
Black Sand Beach, Volcanos, and Green Sand Beach were awesome waypoints when we could pry ourselves away from the amazing views and comfort of this home.
We can't wait to come back!

This is the perfect Hawaii getaway spot on the Big Island. Has absolutely everything you need in the house and it is on the ocean, quiet yard, and fantastic lanai. Even got to watch whales right from the lanai. Highly recommend.

This place looked even better in person! We really enjoyed our time on the East side of the island and were sad to leave this fabulous house. We made some great memories! We truly couldn’t wait to get back to the house after our excursions and spent most evenings in, just listening to the waves and enjoying the comfortable living room with the best tv content we’ve ever had at a rental. We could have just stayed there all day and been perfectly happy. Thank you so much for the wonderful time!

This was a perfect spot for the start to our Big Island trip. The location was quiet, and private. The house was great, the grounds are beautiful, and the view is amazing. Easy access to the Hilo side adventures. Thanks for a great 4 days!

Two weeks in paradise...this beautiful oceanfront home and property is well deserving of all its Five star reviews. Impeccably clean, well furnished and 100% peaceful! The descriptions are accurate but do not give justice to how spectacular this property really is...
Mahalo to our hosts for sharing their world class property!!!

This home is amazing! The property and the view alone make it 5 stars! We had daily activities planned, but on the 1 day that the rain was coming down in sheets, we were quite content to laze around on the deck and stare at the ocean all day.
Three days during our week we saw whales right off the shore.
Make sure that if you are bringing small children or elderly guests, that you carefully read about the spiral staircase inside the house – it could be tricky.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Great communication by owners. Gorgeous main room with soaring ceiling around beautiful lava chimney. Outstanding views/sounds from the waves on the rocks out front. Plenty of space to stretch-out indoors and out. Well-appointed kitchen. Comfortable beds and linens. The kids loved the bunk beds, air hockey table, and pool! If there were one thing that we'd change, it'd be adding some solar heating to the pool during these chillier winter months.
Thanks so much for sharing your home - we'd definitely return to this property in a heartbeat!

We’d have given 10 stars if it was available.
Without giving away all of the little hidden gems this property holds, I will say that no matter the weather, this property does not disappoint!
Our week included sunny, partly sunny and some windy weather, all very mild and enjoyable.
We soaked up the sun at the pool and spent HOURS on the wrapped porch area. Mother Nature showed off with SPECTACULAR views of crashing waves that we enjoyed both from the water’s edge sitting area, as well as the nearly 360 degree glass porch area.
The lawn and tropical tree areas were meticulously manicured and were complimented by the stone fountain that runs from the house to the pond area.
The house and property are even more magnificent than the pictures show.
The inside of the home was rich with beautiful and rare Koa wood. The inside is something to behold!
There is a large table that easily fits 8 and is the perfect size for hours of family game time.
I can not say enough about the responsiveness and hospitality of Jim and Meagan. They quickly answered questions, gave local recommendations and were just kind and gracious folks.
This property is located with access to local markets and eateries nearby.
This property is certainly one we hope to return to.

the house is beautiful: spacious with stunning woodwork and wonderful airy views of the ocean.
but the best part is the huge private yard, artfully landscaped, complete with waterfalls and a pond and lovely native plants and trees, and perched on the lava rock edge of the wild pacific ocean. i spent hours on the bench on the coast, mesmerized by the ever-changing but always powerful waves; a great place to leave the busy world behind, and instead ground in the awesome power of nature!

My wife and I could not have asked for a better house to use as our home base for 5 days on the Big Island! The hosts were great and very responsive, which is always appreciated when you are traveling from so far away!
The pictures really don’t do it justice, the views are amazing and the house was beautiful. We really enjoyed sitting out by the lava rocks watching the waves crash over the cliffs. We used the pool every day we were there and it was a great option to have after long days of hiking in the park, or doing many of the other activities in the area.
The house is a bit of a drive to Hilo (40min or so) but there are many great options for food and grocery shopping nearby (15 min).
We used the well equipped kitchen to cook a few meals at the house and loved eating those meals out on the porch with that amazing view.
If you are staying on this side of the island, there is really no better place to stay!
