When you come to the Hilo side of the Big Island you expect wet green jungle atmosphere. You get this at Liz’s Hawaiian Jungle Hangout. This is exactly what we wanted on our most recent visit to Hilo. And we got. Prior to Liz’s HJH, we stayed next door at another AirBnB place in Hawaiian Beaches. Also the same experience. But the HJH is at the end of the road where you don’t have other houses next to you. All’s you hear is the outdoor jungle sounds surrounding you. There’s plenty of room for 4 or 6 inside the HJH. Very quaint and rustic in a Asian peaceful way. As the photos show, this is what your going to get here. At first when my wife, who is Asian saw the photos and wasn’t sure if she would like it. But she loved it. Being inside was perfect for the backdrop of the jungle and wildlife show outside. We pretty much did nothing on this visit. This was our 15 or 17 trip to the Big Island since 2015. Yes we stayed at HJH for 3 nights. Went into Hilo and Keanu to the Farmers Market for fruits and vegetables. We brought most our food supplies from home, including Korean ribs Kalbi. So we pretty much ate & drank, sat around & talked, bbq’d, watched & listen to the outside sounds. This is how we vacation when we visit the Big Island these days. But your still close to all the island activities or eating establishments. We don’t prefer to be in town. But close enough for a 20-30 minute drive if you want a nice place to eat or shop or sightsee. The island is big. We’ve been to most of the hot spots on this island, including Papakōlea Green Sand Beach (1 of 4 in the world). So if your coming to the Big Island for the umpteenth time or 1st time, or to relax and do nothing or sightseeing the whole island I highly recommend Liz’s Hawaiian Jungle Hangout. We definitely will be back early next year just to chill out BI style. Mahalo Liz for letting us stay at your beautiful retreat.
