Really a great change from the Kona beach experience. The Jungalow is really comfortable and well equipped. My family and I really felt at home, and loved the cool, misty mornings with the chickens and pheasants in the front yard adding a comical touch to morning coffee.
I'm sorry we didn't stay a few extra days just to hang around the property. The neighborhood is great, my teenager is trying to get me to move here!

We absolutely loved our stay and felt right at home. The grounds are unbelievable and the property is so cozy. We loved how close it was to the activities we wanted to do. Would highly recommend and choose to stay again!

We spent 3 nights at The Jungalow and loved everything about it, minus the uncomfortable beds. The home was nicely renovated, and we had every comfort available. We appreciated the fireplace for the chilly mornings. Be sure to check out the great book selection about the island! The location was excellent for exploring the National Park, although somewhat remote. If you're coming from Hilo, definitely hit up Foodland for supplies before you come up. We had a rooster and hens visit us daily in the morning and a couple pheasant showed up too. Nightly bird song. Beautiful property and landscaping.

Quiet neighborhood with a rainforest like atmosphere. Covered outside area to sit and enjoy coffee in the morning and libations in the evening after a grand hike around the rim. The beds were soft. The gas fireplace was awesome on a rainy evening after dinner. This place was perfect for our stay and we would love to stay here again given the opportunity.

The Jungalow is lovely and situated in a neighborhood with lots of greenery incl. palms, ferns, flowers and woodland critters like frogs, birds, visiting chickens. It was nice to get away from city lights and sounds - we slept great! The location is good for various day trips. We received directions and other info prior to our arrival, and the property manager was easy to contact for questions re how to recycle items, and we suggested securing the edges of the area rugs for better safety. I would recommend the Jungalow to friends.

Excellent choice for visiting the national park. All the amenities you need. We use VRBOs typically as a place for a day off and to do laundry.. Restaurants in the area are limited, but still a few to choose from. The owner is easy to work with. They do not require a lot of unreasonable check out requirements; they recognize that you are on vacation not cleaning up youth own house

We were surprised that water pressure was greatly compromised off and on throughout this stay . Our warm shower would slow to a trickle, and same in the kitchen. We understand using a catchment and pumps to supply water to a home can be tricky in "remote " Hawaii. A heads -up would have made us feel better.
Though it may be nice to have some foods left by previous guests such as ketchup, etc, generally believe the fridge should be cleaned out after each guest. There was outdated cream, for example, eggs, butter- cannot be sure if safe to eat-best to clean out. Same with pantry-many half empty boxes of crackers.
Kitchen supply was running low-dish soap, for example.
Lastly would suggest that if manager wants to impress guests of cleanliness, bedding should be requested to be removed as guest exits.

The property was exactly as listed. The location was so serene and the landscaping was lush. We absolutely loved the visits from the chickens and listening to the coquis at night. The night sky was incredible due to no streetlights. The electric fireplace was perfect in the morning to take the chill off. We loved the Jungalow style of decoration that fit so perfectly with the surroundings. Plentiful coffee and a bonus of having condiments and other goodie’s left over from previous guests. We didn’t want to leave!

Hello Jennifer. My family and I stayed at Jungaloo for a nite. It was a really nice experience for all is. The house was lovely. It was cozy and decorated with unique furnishings which were really awesome. The outside was beautiful with all of the different plants and foliage. The sounds from crickets, frogs and birds chirping and plants swaying in breeze was nice.
There was however one big negative about our stay. The house really needed to be cleaned. Here are some of the issues you may want to address for future.
- Spider webs some with live spiders throughout house
-About one inch or more of dust under beds
- Floors were dirty. We all wore socks sine we did not want to wear outside footwear in house.
- Kitchen counters and dining table were sticky and needed a good wipe down
- bugs that had been squished on walls and just left there.
- Bathroon faucets and sinks needed to be cleaned
- Shower curtains were moldy
- Toilets needed to be cleaned inside and out
- Large dust balls around fireplace
- Accumulation of white dirt on ranch style windows above front door
Basically house just needs a good cleaning.
We would love to stay there again and possibly recommend family and friends to stay there but not under current circumstances of cleanliness.
I hope you will take my comments under consideration as it is a very lovely place to stay at.
Thank you.
