We just got back from a 2 wk vacation on the Big Island and Eco Hale was our favorite Airbnb experience. I had worried it would be too small or remote but for us it was the perfect Hawaiian experience. Kaeo met us in the drive as if we were old friends coming to visit. We had communicated by text the day before about our expected arrival time and need to go grocery shopping. As noticed in other reviews she promised us some vegetable pasta upon arrival saving us a trip from Volcano Village back to Hilo for supplies and allowing for more time to explore the National Park. The grounds around Eco Hale are lush with flora and fauna plus quaint garden art. We could tell much thought was put into the decor of the Hale, food & drink treats, and general household items and beach gear available for our use. It was like staying in a Hawaiian playhouse. We made much use of cooking equipment at night on our little porch after shopping at local Farmers Markets. The above pasta was delish as was fresh banana bread left on the kitchen counter. Garden fruits and other food staples were available in the frig and pantry. The bathroom was large and there was plenty of hot water and drinking water available. My husband and I are types who when on vacation are up and out early, back just before dark, and tired from our long day so Eco Hale could not have been a better choice for us. The location is perfect for exploring the HA Natl Volcano Park and the entire Puna area. We particularly loved the night sounds, sort of jungle-like. Wish we had booked more nights at Eco Hale for there is much Aloha there.
