I would give The Jungalow 6 stars if I could! This was the perfect vacation cottage with every need anticipated and every detail thought out. The property was updated, immaculate, and tastefully furnished, but with the feel of old Hawai'i. The landscaping was beautiful. There are other houses nearby, but the cottage is totally secluded (like don't bother to draw the blinds secluded). There was bug repellent by the porch chairs, flashlights by the front door, really good knives in the kitchen, a thermal picnic bag and beach towels in the hall closet, 100% Kona coffee by the coffee maker, and a lovely high-efficiency washer and dryer on the sheltered side of the house. I actually took notes on how to build my own 800 square foot dream home. Best layout I have ever seen. And a heavenly walk-in shower, good water pressure. Big comfy bed. Cons? Boring layout of Hawaiian Paradise Park subdivision (but still lovely), with some ostentatious homes hogging what coastline there is, some cutting in and out of the wifi, and a brief Saturday night domestic dispute next door which was audible but not visible ... nothing major. Pros? Great proximity to Hilo, Volcanoes, and Pahoa - excellent base for exploring. Except you may end up just hanging out and soaking in all the lush greenery like we did for hours on end. So relaxing!
