As clearly indicated by the many five star reviews, Liz’s Jungle Hangout was truly a gem. My husband is an avid birder and spotted several “lifers” from the backyard. Liz provide great recommendations, and the house and the surrounding grounds were beautiful, clean, and incredibly biodiverse. There were adorable baby chicks running around and gorgeous strawberry guava, avocado, mango, and citrus trees surrounding the home. It was a dream Airbnb for two science teachers! It’s also a short drive to Hilo, and a reasonable drive to the Eden-like Hamakua coast. If you’re looking for some quiet AND the beauty (and noise) of wildlife during your stay on the Big Island, Liz’s place is an ideal base camp.
