Wow - I’m not even sure where to start. I guess I’ll say that if you are considering this place, book it now! You will not regret it.
First I’ll hit the location - if you are considering staying staying near Volcanoes National Park/Kilauea, this location was fantastic. It felt remote enough to feel private, secluded, and relaxing - yet the park was a very convenient 15 minutes away. It was perfect for when we went to see the lava erupting later in the evening, so we didn’t have to drive too far in the dark. We drove to Volcano from Kona, and it was a beautiful/scenic drive from there, with plenty of fun stops along the way. The location wasn’t too far from Hilo either - definitely an easy day trip from the property to spend the day there.
Next, the property itself: we were stunned when we pulled into the driveway for the Jungalow. You can tell so much effort was put into every little detail of the space - it is absolutely beautiful, complete with high end appliances and furniture. We honestly wanted to cancel all of our plans just so we could spend more time there. We loved the outdoor bathtub and the outdoor shower. The bed was super comfortable, and the cool nights were perfect for a good night’s sleep. We spent a lot of time lounging on the other side just relaxing and planning our days, and enjoying a drink on the swings. The hosts also had plenty of suggestions of things to do nearby as well as island history in binders on the property which was great to read through.
Such a unique and fun stay - highly, highly recommend. Hopefully we will be back someday!
