Comfortable home with a spectacular view. We enjoyed grilling dinner and hanging out in the pool.

Nice, clean property, but no air conditioning.
Lawn service showed up on the best weather day we had, which placed limitations on outdoor enjoyment most of the day. Was not sure why they were scheduled while we were renting.

Property was as shown in pictures. It is a bit of a drive from amenities and the town of Hilo so just be prepared before heading to the house. It offers a private and quiet area to relax. The hot tub was great at the end of the day. Wonderful views of the ocean and neat volcanic shoreline.

The property was as advertised. Plenty of room for our party of 6 adults. Enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and oceanfront. The property location was convenient for our activities.

A fabulous location and home which met our requirements. We enjoyed our stay so much that we would like to return to continue our experience. The photos are accurate and describe the house better than words. The garden is thoughtfully landscaped providing a variety of plants and seating areas to encourage thoughtful serenity. The house is well equipped, however I suggest that the filthy fan kept in the bedroom closet be replaced or cleaned. The TV did not function even when following the instructions provided but we simply used our streaming device so it was not a problem. The hot tub only had jets functioning for two seating areas which worked out as it was just the two of us. The location is very good - 18 minutes from Hilo; 25 minutes from Volcano. Restaurants and groceries are 15-20 minutes drive. Overall it is a quiet neighbourhood. However, be very aware that the empty lot adjacent to the property is used as access to the shoreline by some shady characters who live out of their vehicle. We observed these unpleasant individuals daily when the weather was fine. Fortunately the weather worked in our favour and the wind and surf were high so the vagrant did not appear for the last few days of our stay.

We stayed for a week, we loved the location. The management and housekeeping were very rude. We asked for a couple of towels, since there were only 1 per person. Housekeepers came over and requested to come in the house so they could verify how many towels were there, they also made remarks of "sometimes people say there are 4 people when there are more". Our cousin lives in Maui and came over for a night for my son's 2nd birthday. The jacuzzi went out, and management didn't respond for 3 hours, when they did they were not helpful at all. With this location you need the pool and jacuzzi to be functional. A lady came to clean the pool, went to the side and smoke a cigarette right next to open windows. Having a baby, we were very upset about that. Very unprofessional management, housekeepers and pool cleaner. For the amount of money, they made us feel unwelcome. Unfortunately, we won't be back here.

The location is amazing and at night the waves sound like they are crashing into the house! The house is a little older and was mostly clean. We might try another house next time

This is a stunning property on the lava cliffs near the town of Pahoa. The house is clean and spacious with a large comfortable kitchen/living/dining area overlooking spectacular ocean views. At night it was amazing to hear the crashing waves mixed with the chirps of the coqui frogs. It was easy to take nearby day trips to Hawaii volcanoes national park, Hilo, and South Puna. All our family agreed that this was one of our favorite rentals. We would love to stay here again.

We would have loved to have found salt and pepper, olive oil and vinegar, foil and plastic wrap for staples in the home. These basic items are missing. The pool is much small than portrayed in the photo. It is a narrow lap pool.We did love the location and the sound of the waves splashing nearby.

This house...is just OK. Ocean in the back is amazing. However, it's far off the beaten path w no cell service. This house has 3 lockboxes. There's a non-working lockbox on the back porch, 1 non-working by the garage and 1 on the back side of a pole by the front door that does work. We kept sending pics & videos asking if we were trying the right lockbox and they kept saying yes and we just weren't pulling hard enough to open it. Clearly they didn't know which lockbox was the right 1 or what it looked like. We were outside in the rain trying to get in the house for over 30 minutes trying to contact mgt w/ limited cell service. We were late to our dinner reservations b/c of this. There's no A/C in the home (not in the description), and not enough fans provided to cool it down. It's not in the safest feeling neighborhood, and there was a rowdy party across the street playing excessively loud rap music. We were very nervous being there alone as we didn't have any cell service to call for help if needed, and you have to sleep w all the windows open so as not to die from the heat. We were nervous all night that someone from the party might make their way to the house. We hid our belongings before heading to dinner b/c we were worried about the types of people wandering about. The hot tub was broken. A curtain was missing in front of the toilet by the front window in the master bedroom. We stayed 1 night and cut our losses and found another place to stay

This house is absolutely gorgeous, and if you're lucky enough to have a clear morning, the sunrise setting can't be beat. We had not realized that the house was not air conditioned, and upon arrival it was HOT, but truly as soon as you get things opened up it cools off pretty quickly. The property manager was very responsive to questions - the hot tub wasn't working and she was able to tell us what to do immediatley. And FYI there is an alarm system panel inside the door, but no alarm to set (this is not mentioned in the house book). The only thing we did not love about this property was how far it is from everything. This side of the island does not have as many restaurants or shopping areas, and it is a long drive to anything, anyway. I would recommend this place for a "get away from it all" vacation - the kitchen is well equipped and the home and yard really invite you to stick around and relax.

The house was exactly as advertised-right on the ocean. Our evenings were spent having drinks and enjoying the scenery. The pool was great for our kids. Unfortunately the hot tub was not working at the time, which was a bummer, but normally it would be running. The rooms were nice. The house is a little ways from restaurants and grocery stores, so be sure to stock up on food before getting there. Nice walks from the house as well. Be sure to watch the sunrise at the end of the road if you're awake at that time.
