Paradise Found
Stepping onto this property felt like walking into the world of Avatar—bursting with vibrant colors, calming scents, and breathtaking scenery that instantly puts you at ease. This spot exceeded every expectation and ranks among the best places my partner and I have stayed. Beautiful grounds, warm and welcoming hosts, and cozy accommodations all just a quick hop from Hilo and Puna. Absolutely a slice of paradise!

Lovely stay in Hawaiian tropical setting
Studio unit, part of a 4 unit complex on beautiful and lushly landscaped property within 10 miles of Hilo Airport and 20 miles to Volcano National Park. Lovely tropical bird and frog sounds. Kepi was friendly and engaging and helpful, and painted colorful paintings on all the walls.

Tropical paradise
Beautiful villa in Hilo, we came for world paddling sprints and the location of this property was ideal for our needs. The property had everything one needed compact for two people and we enjoyed Netflix binging in the evening. Our host Kepi was a beautiful knowledgeable lady who made us most welcome. I loved her garden of the most tropical plants I took lots of pictures. Mahola kepi

Lovely stay
Clean, comfortable. The owner is friendly but not intrusive. The landscaping is amazing! Just what we needed, close to our family who live in the area, plenty to explore on this side of the island. We didn’t use the mini kitchen but it was there if we needed (microwave, blender, rice cooker, etc). Great value for the price!

Beautiful private spot. Easy to get to, but away from most traffic. It is apparent the hosts enjoy people and making them comfortable. Lovely paintings done by the hostess. Most of the grounds are gorgeous gardens with beautiful evening lights. This is the cleanest place we stayed on the entire island. Pride is taken in every way. Highly recommend
