We had a magical stay at the Jungalow! Steve was a very attentive host before and during our stay when we had questions. The house was even more spacious and beautiful than we expected. Details we appreciated: the spring water bottles and dispenser provided, the covered lanai (our favorite hang out spot), the hammocks on the open lanai, the resident cat and chickens, beautiful grounds with tropical flowers and foliage in abundance, the wonderful book selection, ceiling fans in every room, the rain and the cool nights it brought, quality and ample linens, walking distance to the ocean (tidepools to explore, no beach access) and the sound of ocean waves from the house. We even loved the resident chicken family and because we travel with a sound machine, the rooster did not wake us in the morning. The Shipman beach trail was a short distance from the house and the almost 3 mile hike navigating mud, volcanic rock and jungle was well worth it for the pristine beach at the end. Nearby Pahoa had excellent grocery markets and restaurants. We loved Kaleo’s and Pahoa Fresh Fish for fish n chips. The Maku’u Farmer’s Market on Sunday was a treat as well. The proximity to Volcano National Park was also a huge plus for this property. We would definitely stay again and hope to bring the whole family next time. Mahalo Steve!
