「My wife and 20 yo daughter stayed here with me for 4 nights. I’m actually in mourning right now as I write this from Maui because we miss everything about the little cottage. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that this place facilitated my most successful down regulation ever. We cooked most meals in the cottage’s kitchen and spent hours on the deck watching the surf and waving at the occasional passerby on the old highway. This place feels ocean front even though there’s a small and very...

「At first, a bit tricky to find, especially at night in the rain. Google maps sends you in the wrong direction. But easy to find once you find it. Just go down Maku’u and take a right on 12th and it’s right there in the right side. Property is very nicely appointed. Chickens and other gorgeous birds visited every day. The covered patio is great for morning coffee and evening wine. With two ceiling fans, we never turned on the a/c My wife loves the tub. 」

「Cons: no hot water in the shower or house. At all. Ran ONLY the hot water line & never got hot water. Hubby bathed in kitchen sink with water from tea kettle. No privacy. At all. Other houses can be seen clearly from all windows & shower of this house. That deck? It's for anyone to use & anyone on it can look right down into your shower. A house up the hill can be clearly seen from shower which means they can clearly see you in the shower. We bought 50ft clothesline and 2 shower curtains from...

「We had a great stay. Pictures represent the property well. The place is about 20 minutes from Pahoa city-center (if that’s helpful). Met Sean who shared some insights about the area and local cuisine. Ashley was great at communicating and checking in with us via VRBO messages. Overall we had a really nice time in the area and were grateful to have a peaceful place to stay as we explored this side of the Island.」

「This is a beautiful place and quite clean. They also have a cache of masks, snorkel, chairs and other beach items which is helpful. We used this cottage as base camp to visit Volcanoes NP. It is a good option if you have a rental car. They don't call it the "Big Island" for nothing. There is a lot of windshield time when traveling the area. My only constructive criticism of this property, as well as almost all other VRBOs, is to reduce the unnecessary furniture, bookshelves, and tchotchkes that...

「A good location on the East side of the island. It was very clean. The property owners were very friendly and helpful.」

「From the very beginning, the host, Jacklynn, was communicating thoroughly and promptly with me. She assured me that it would be easy to find, easy to enter, with little confusion or hassle. I was concerned about Wi-Fi and Internet access and she assured me that both were robust and stable. Everything Jacklynn told me was true and accurate. The Puna rain forest retreat has five cottages located at the end of a lovely gravel road off of a well marked and easy to navigate secondary road. We...

「Nice place to stay if you don’t mind being away from the crowds and city life. 」
