Hawaii hiking

Was an amazing location and places. Made me feel connect with the outside. Very quiet in terms of human activity(traffic,neighborhood). Enjoyed the sound of the birds around the property. Close to the national park if you wanting to do some hiking or catch an eruption.

Beautiful, secluded location close to Volcano National Park.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at the Volcano Kahaualea Cottage. After spending several nights in Kona on the shoreline, staying here let us experience the lush greenery and cooler temperatures of the eastern side of the island. We enjoyed the proximity to Volcano National Park. Our interactions with the property management company were great.

Beautiful updated forest cabin

From the moment we arrived on the property, we could tell it was going to be beautiful! The little cabin is situated in the middle of the forest 10 minutes from volcano national Park. The grass driveway and surrounding forestry is pretty amazing to arrive too. The cabinet itself is clean and updated, while still remaining very charmingly rustic. There's a huge shower and the water gets hot very quickly. The fireplace under the television is a beautiful addition for chili nights. And the washer and dryer were a blessing after long hiking days. The internet is also very fast! 100% would book this cabin again when we come back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stayed here for four nights, and would definitely return given the opportunity. Property was easy to find, and extremely peaceful. Bring a flashlight if arriving after dark, as the cottage is deep in the property.

Private tropical cottage

Great location and charming interior layout. Always appreciate nice art on the walls. Very private and tropical surroundings. The kokee frogs will serenade you in the evening. The WiFi could have been stronger and a bit more kitchenware would be nice.

Stay at Kahaualea Cottage

Beautiful, secluded property. The cottage is surrounded by ferns and trees. The cottage is comfortable and cozy with all the amenities needed for your stay. The electric fireplace is a special treat on the cool evenings. Although there are neighbors, you feel like you are all alone. The communication with the property managers was excellent. We’d definitely stay here again.

Best, most relaxing VRBO we’ve ever stayed in!

We were here for our honeymoon and this place was exactly as advertised. Quiet, relaxing, and well maintained! The frogs and the rain lulled us to sleep every night and became something we were looking forward to every night.

Great location with easy access to Volcanoes National Park

Very secluded location. Cabin layout was cozy and modern. Kitchen had all necessary appliances, dishes, pans, and utensils. Cooler and ice packs were available for use. If the frog noise bothers you turn on the dehumidifier. That helped a lot.
