Pahoa Mackenzie State Park Hotels

"The best VRBO we have ever stayed at! The house was spotless and very well outfitted. The host was very friendly and available if you needed anything or just needed a recommendation for dinner. We would not hesitate to book again."

"Liv was amazing from the time we booked until we checked out. Everything was exactly as expected. The house was relaxing and beautiful and a slice of heaven!!!! We enjoyed watching the turtles and listening and watching the waves hit against the cliff. Exactly what we were looking for! "

"Amazing views from the house! Comfortable and clean home."

"The Rainbow Dreams Cottage NEVER disappoints! I’ve had the privilege to stay here on other occasions with a girlfriend. We always treasured our time here. This time I brought my husband. I was worried that he would prefer to have wifi and cell coverage. He was a bit sceptical before we checked in. However, as we sat in the main room on our first night, the room lit with candles, the windows open to let in the warm breeze, listening to the coqui frogs and crickets, the waves crashing against the rooks across the road… he turned to me and said, “this is magical!” He is a fan! The cottage had everything we needed. It was comfortable and quiet (except for the waves). It is very well-maintained, thoughtfully appointed, and the hosts are very communicative and helpful. Read the host’s description - it is detailed and informative. While it is located off the beaten path, the privacy and serenity are well worth the short drive to restaurants and groceries. The village of Pahoa has some great dining options and there are delicious smoothies down the road in Kalapana. There is lots to explore or just hang out on the lanai at the cottage and read. If you prefer to make your own meals, the kitchen has been updated and has what you will need.If you are looking for a peaceful and beautiful part of Hawaii to get-away and recharge, the Rainbow Dreams Cottage is for you! Thank you David and Clay for sharing your little slice of paradise!"

"The house is a palace, with tile done by a superb craftsman all thru the house. The bedroom and bathroom doors are stained wood with stained glass. The art in the house is incredible....with paintings done by an elephant (no lie), and wood masks and sculptures. Several fruit trees on the property too. We picked and ate starfruits daily."

"Kelly was a wonderful host. Since she had cancellations while we were there (Jan 2026) she upgraded us to the master with ensuite. There are 3 bedrooms in total. Everything was spotlessly clean and there were all kinds of snacks and coffee, tea, milk available. Kelly made lovely breakfast for us each morning and was so accommodating. We really enjoyed our stay. It is about 30 minutes drive from Hilo. You do need a car. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending this B&B. Thank you Kelly and Roger for a great stay as we explored the Hilo area."

"Absolutely gorgeous view. Completely different experience seeing the lava fields. We enjoyed watching the sunrises at the edge of the ocean. It’s only a about a four or five minute walk from the house and it’s easy to pack a chair to sit in. The unit itself is beautiful. We loved having the air conditioning and really didn’t need it too much but it was very nice to have. The condo itself is clean and up-to-date. The bed is very comfortable. Best one I’ve ever slept in at any VRBO. Pahoa is just a quick drive away and Hilo is only about 45 or 50 minutes if you plan to avoid traffic. The owner was easy to get a hold of and we had a great time. We hope to be back!"

"A beautiful home in a great neighborhood. The hot tub was marvelous! "

"Peaceful setting. Loved the remote aspect. Hope it doesn't have many more huts built. Clean areas and very friendly and helpful staff. "
