About this property

Come & stay with us at the beautiful & peaceful Bird's Nest

  • The Bird's Nest is located in a peaceful neighborhood that is surrounded by lush greenery and bird songs can be heard throughout the day & tree frogs at night. The house sits high above the ground which makes it feel as if you are staying in a tree house. The road in front of the home is paved and available for walks or runs. We are located about 4 miles from a couple of beautiful hikes to either a black and white sandy beach or tide pools.

    We are located about 15 minutes from Hilo, 5 miles from Pahoa and 4 miles from the ocean and sea cliffs to walk along. Volcano National Park is about a 30 minute drive and we are about a 1 1/2 hour drive over Saddle Road to white sandy beaches.

I had a very short stay at the Birds Nest - but and I loved it. The space was soothing and lovely, private and very very clean. It’s in a great location to get everywhere. And thoughtfully designed! Loved the big sprawling deck in the back! I would definitely stay here again!

Khymberly was very accommodating to our large family size. Everything was neat and clean upon our arrival. Beach chairs and accessories were provided for use, which we found very helpful. Check-in and check-out were seamless. Khym also bakes sourdough bread and other delicious goods for sale, fresh and convenient!

Peaceful stay!

We loved this house and property. We were visiting our brand new granddaughter and it was so nice to have a place to stay that felt like home. The house was stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoying stay. Mahalo!

cosy and well-run

The Bird's Nest is as cosy as its name implies. It's also quiet, well-located, and well-run by thoughtful hosts who have provided almost everything you might need. It's one of the few places I've stayed with a superior kitchen-- in case you want to cook some of those lovely purchases from the local Sunday farmer's market. I would gladly stay there again, and I plan to!

Unique and comforting place to stay

We stayed at the Bird’s nest for three days. The house is decorated well, feels like home. I really like the scented fresh flower in the bathroom. All rooms are clean with all the appliances we needed. We had great stay there surrounded by the tree frogs’ songs.

Another wonderful stay at The Bird's Nest

We have stayed at The Nest several times now and everything is always great, the communication with owners, the comfortable home, cleanliness, quite neighbor with a peaceful deck. We also appreciated the upgraded TV. Mahalo! Don and Janet

Great property in HPP!

Khymberly's property was just right for us. We liked being raised up on a 2nd floor level. The grounds were wonderful and the wildlife entertaining. Close to the Puna trail to Shipman's beach and other attractions in the area. A relatively short drive to Hilo as well. The beds were comfy, the amenities just right and a wonderful base camp. Recommended!

Beautiful place to stay when visiting Volcanoes National Park

We had a wonderful stay at the Bird's Nest while visiting Volcanoes National Park! This is a clean and comfortable home in a lovely neighborhood. There is easy access to the National Park and to the Hilo airport (about 25 minutes away). We loved falling asleep to the sound of the frogs. The roosters are a little less welcome in the morning, but the host provides earplugs if you need them! The beds are very comfortable and we all slept great. Kitchen is very well-equipped. Excellent communication from the host. Mahalo!

Your in HAWAII …enjoy!!

Enjoyed our stay and it was a great location. Had great weather in the month of January. Khym is a great hostess and goes out of her way to answer your questions very quickly. They live next door but give you complete privacy. Keep the windows closed at night and you don’t hear the frogs. Thanks Khym for everything and we wish you and your husband all the best in the future. Aloha

family visit

A lovely home with tons of amenities. The only thing I would like to see is furnishings in the bedrooms so one can unpack and get settled in. Presently there are no drawers or shelves in which to put one's things. So I had to live out of my suitcase. The closets are large and shelving in one half would solve the problem.

Relaxing stay in Keaau

The home is clean, nicely decorated, with lots of windows for ventilation. It is quiet with the sound of the coqui frogs at night (this did not keep us up at night) and birds in the morning. We did not hear roosters while here. You really are away from the city life here. The beds and pillows were comfortable. Bedding, towels were clean and adequate. The kitchen was well supplied but we did not cook while there. We chose to eat out for our meals while on vacation. The bathrooms were clean; showers, sinks worked well. There also is a washer/dryer which we did not need to use. The owner is easy to contact and even brought us some fresh fruit as a welcome gift. We were also supplied with fresh coffee beans with a grinder and coffee pot. It is close to markets, drugstores, casual restaurants. It is a good location if you wish to explore Hilo and the Volcano area.

The Birds Nest was a great stay. The check-in process was seamless and due to our late arrival, the hosts were very gracious and left lights on AND sourdough muffins. The home is clean, very inviting and great combo of in and outdoor spaces.

Highly recommend the Bird's Nest as accommodations for exploring both Volcanoes National Park and the Hilo area. The property interior is beautifully updated, spacious and very clean, with all the equipment needed to cook all your meals. Location is quiet, peaceful and safe. The host is very responsive and has her own micro-bakery - providing guests with a yummy sampling and seasonally available fruits grown on the property.
