We had a very enjoyable stay at this well-appointed, clean, and comfortable cottage. The kitchen had everything needed for meals, enjoyed both inside and on the covered deck. A 1.5 mile walk to an undeveloped section of oceanfront provided opportunities to see the area up close. The location is very private and quiet (but for the welcomed sounds from birds, frogs, and insects) yet is also generally proximate to Hilo, Pahoa, shopping, restaurants, the volcano park, and waterfalls. We gladly recommend The Jungalow to anyone seeking a comfortable hideaway on the Hilo side.
