Nice, quiet, walkable location near lava cliffs, private back porch and yard
After staying in several VRBOs near enough to the highway to hear it 24/7, it was nice to get away to a quiet location (except for the young gals in kitty-corner house that partied all night but it didn't keep us up much; in our sixties, we have to admire their stamina). Comfortable bed, nice to have a private back porch and back yard with some decorations. Not far south to Pahoa with interesting food, shops, and people. Walk about six blocks to a stretch of lava cliffs popular with friendly locals and fisherman who sometime gather for music near sunset. A good neighborhood for walking. Never met Kim but she sent someone over when we needed help with some things.

Sweet Cottage
This little cottage was exactly what we needed for close proximity to family. Owner was easily contacted and very responsive. The yard with birds was enchanting.

Its all about the lanai!
Only slept and cooked in the house, every other minute was sitting on the lanai. First time we stayed at a place that was in a community environment that wasn't on the ocean. We really enjoyed how peaceful and inviting everyone we met were.

Good use of space, and great location!
Cute little cottage- loved the 3 lanai spaces. Nothing fancy, but comfortable. Bed was comfy, and the kitchen was adequate- we cooked all our meals there, saved some $$! Great neighborhood- quick walk to Paradise Cliffs, and amazing sunrises. No AC, but easy to keep the cottage a pleasant temp all day. Great base- and easy access to the highway, and points of interest. Highly recommend.

Quiet place in a quiet neighborhood
All is cozy and comfortable. Could us a little updating and it is fairly small. But all and all it was quite relaxing and fit our needs. Thank you.

Perfect Location for Two
We came primarily to see the volcano erupting, and this small house was in a great spot. It's not too far from Hilo, and only about 45 minutes from the National Park. It's in a area of nice homes and the ocean is close - we could hear it - but we never had the chance to go to the beach. We especially loved the lanai! It was so comfortable and pretty. We ate all our breakfasts and dinners out there and this is where we spent most of our time when were were at the house. Even though it rained (it WAS the rainy season), the roof was wide enough to keep us dry even when it really poured. The kitchen is equipped with all that you need. The washer/dryer were great to have. It was one feature we looked for when booking, and we ended up really needing them on this trip. Many homes don't have them. If you stay during the rainy season you will need to bring umbrellas. Binoculars were available to take to the Park - we used them! I would suggest you bring a flashlight to use when going to see the volcano erupt at night. This helps when walking on the trails to the overlooks. Seeing the eruption at night should not be missed! We visited the park twice on our three-night stay. There are two quilt stores in the area - one in Hilo, and the other shop on Old Volcano Road. Both are named Kilauea Kreations. The one in Hilo is more fully stocked. We also visited two craft breweries in Hilo - a favorite activity! We would stay here again!

Location !
My husband and I stayed for 2 nights; it has a great location where you can take a short walk to view the ocean from the cliffs and has a bit of beach house vibe. Black sand beach and VNP are easy to get to from here among others! It’s a bit dated and eclectic with some cute decor. We especially enjoyed the back deck with some music and wine! Mahalo

Quaint little place
The property was as listed. A very quaint place in a great area. Centrally located for those who are off to adventure. Be sure to make sure you have everything before you leave as it is a bit of a drive into town. The house was perfect for my husband and I. A few more kitchen items would have been nice - the price was definitely budget-friendly.
