A 5 minute drive to a scenic ocean view with places to sit on the rocks , close to the highways to get to volcanoes national . The house was beautiful and everything we needed !
Lovely cottage with Hawaiian motif. Quiet and secure. Scott was very responsive and even bought a steamer to help with our travel wrinkled clothes. We were attending a special event and were very appreciative. We had a great grilled breakfast on the patio of local eggs and vegetables. Would stay again!
This is the place to go to get out of the hustle and bustle of the cities. Close enough to both Hilo and Volcano National Park. The setup and details of the unit are next level unbelievable! Thank you for a great day... hope to stay again some day soon.
Great little place for two to spend a few nights on the east side of Big Island. It was clean, comfortable and we had no issues during our stay. Highly recommend. Scott was great and answered any questions that we had.
Had a brief encounter with Scott and Tracy and they were absolutely lovely and so kind hearted. The cottage was cozy and nicely decorated. My favorite part was the outdoor tub with privacy shades. Hope to come back.
Looking for a beautifully crafted, well maintained, tropical getaway with thoughtful amenities? This is your place! We loved our stay here - convenient to both Hilo, the National Park, and charming beaches - a private oasis to return to. Thank you, Scott!
If you want to take a break, this is the place. Everything you need. A tranquil patio, outdoor tub if you want to spoil yourself. Quiet, clean, cool interior decor.
We only spent one night but could have happily stayed longer. There is a town about 12 miles away with restaurants.
The place is absolutely beautiful, the area is really quiet, the decor inside and outside is very dreamy. It has all the amenities for cooking so we grilled our own food without even going to restaurants.
The bath tub area is very romantic to enjoy with a glass of wine and sound of birds.
The hosts are very responsive and if you need anything you can reach out to them anytime.
Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.
I love this place and plan to return. My flights were delayed and I arrived much later than planned. The owner was consistently in communication to make sure I got there in the dark.
If you are looking for a beautiful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is your perfect Big Island home away from home! Scott was easy to work with from booking to check-out. We found the location fairly central to all the activities we wanted to do, including downtown Hilo, Volcanoes National Park, and the black sand beach. The bed was very comfortable, and the frogs sang us to sleep every night!
Needed to get away from central Texas hustle and bustle. Property was exactly what we were looking for. Location was just out of the way enough while still being close enough to the things we wanted to do. Owners were very accessible while maintaining to the feeling of privacy for their guests. My wife and I will recommend to our friends and family.
What a special stay! The house is immaculate and every intentional detail of the property you will continue to soak up throughout the stay. We loved the ambiance, the outdoor bathtub was a treat, the towels and bedding were soft and very comfortable. The Coqui frogs singing like an exotic bird and rain fall singing us to sleep was such an experience. Literally had every amenity we could desire. Delicious never ending coffee was a treat. Highly recommend!!
Scott and Tracy have created a very unique and imaginative place with many creative touches. At the same time, every little detail has been thought out. We especially enjoyed the outdoor tub and the sounds of frogs and birds singing. It’s one of the most memorable stays we’ve had anywhere.
Perfectly manicured and decorated paradise getaway!
The details of the instructions, cleanliness of the cottage, AMAZING carvings and ambiance are perfect. The location is a very welcomed distance from all of the city hustle and bustle. Every detail was amazing and Scott is a great communicator to make sure our stay was too notch. Pahoa is a cool and cozy community with some excellent food and close proximity to all the windward attractions. There is so many ch good mama and plenty of aloha at this spot. We will definitely recommend to friends and family.
