Our stay here (my wife and I with our two children - 6 years old and 1 year old), was absolutely wonderful.
Yvette contacted us far in advance to make sure we were all set finding the place and she timed things perfectly to meet us on site when we arrived so she could acquaint us with all of the wonderful ins and outs of the property and surrounding area. Her advice was helpful in every conceivable way - thank you Yvette!
The description of this property is SPOT ON accurate. Unlike so many other places I've stayed at where the pictures somewhat distort the reality of the actual accommodations into looking better than they really are, THIS place was somehow even MORE beautiful. Everything was perfect. Some things that are impossible to photograph (like the sounds of the rainforest greeting you at night) add so much. We split our stay in two, spending half our trip in this property and half our trip over on the dry side of the island. If I could plan it all over again I may have just stayed here for the duration and just done a day trip to the dry side.
The location was perfect for our needs. Short drives to the warm springs (an otherworldly experience), and into Pahoa (where we had the best meal of our entire stay - on either side of the island - at Pele's Kitchen) were simple, and longer drives up to Hilo and points northwards were easy to navigate.
The kitchen was clean and easy to use, bathroom and bedroom were immaculate, parking was easy (even with our large Jeep), and the availability of the laundry area was extremely helpful to us.
The real gem here is the short walk to Kehena Beach at the end of the street (and through a very short rainforest trek). Truly a perk. All of the neighbors on the way were friendly and enjoyable to talk to.
The whole place felt very private and remote even in the middle of the neighborhood. This is the first place I will look for availability at when we return.
