Very helpful and responsive to our inquiries.
Wonderful Big Island Home Next to Volcanoes National Park
The house and location were ideal for our two day visit to the park. The check-in process was easy and the owners were very helpful. It takes only a few minutes to get to the entrance of Volcanoes National Park. The house was well equipped and quite large, and easily fit our six guests (two families, each with a 10-year old). We ate in one night and the kitchen had everything we needed - from wine glasses to a cheese grater. The main bedroom had a private bath and shower and the other two bedrooms shared a full bath. The two kids loved the twin bunkbeds (4 beds). The appliances were all modern and easy to use (washer/dryer, stove, etc.). I highly recommend this house and the owner was great to work with!

Simple and convenient
Our stay at this house was overall pleasant. It was not exactly as expected, but we enjoyed our stay.Pros: It's clean, close to the Volcano Park (less than 10 minutes), and has a beautiful, natural feel to it.Cons: Our first impression is that it is in a different type of community than we're used to...less...tidy and kept. Although, this house is probably the nicest one in the neighborhood. Then, the VRBO post, at the time of my booking, did not disclose that there is no air conditioning (and it does get stuffy.) Also not disclosed, the water is supplied by a rainwater cistern, and I'm not sure if it's filtered. We used bottled water for toothbrushing and washing produce/food. Last, my daughter stepped on a piece of glass about 5 minutes after we arrived, so while it's overall very clean, that was our unfortunate experience.But, once we settled in...It was a peaceful place and served us well during our days on the east coast of Hawaii. I would stay again.Cons: There is n and iwate
We were so lucky that Mauna Kea was erupting while there. Having a beautiful, clean, well stocked ‘home’ to come back to each evening was priceless. We would definitely stay again.
Over the years I’ve started in about a dozen rentals in the Volcano area and this one was the cleanest! Everything was in great shape and well appointed. Perfect for our family weekend!
We really enjoyed this home near Volcano National Park.
The grandkids enjoyed being outside exploring and seeing the tiny lizards. The home was the perfect size for 4 adults and 2 young children.
Property is private and secluded. Tricky to find if arriving after dark. The driveway is steep. Once inside it felt very cozy, tranquil, and private. Furnishings well maintained. Landscaping is beautiful. It was a great home base retreat for what we wanted to do.
Lovely home, well-appointed with everything you need and then some. Only issue was that we only had bath towels for 2, but there were 6 of us—we just used the beach towels. Property was beautiful, rustic feel but very comfortable and clean. No issues with stay.
It was clean. A towel rack was missing from the hall bathroom and we told the owner immediately. Other than that it was comfortable for the 6 of us. It's located in a quiet place.
Great location for the national park, very comfortable house
We enjoyed our stay here. 10 mins from the park. House is spacious- we were 4 of us, but could accommodate 8 people. Kids enjoyed the bunk beds. Kitchen was well equipped. We came in early, and were allowed to get in early which was very kind if them. Overall highly recommend for anyone who wants to go to VNP. The park was pretty cool. Probably only 1-2 days worth of stuff to do unless you are a very serious hiker
Nicely furnished with nice gardens, but needs heating on cold nights
We spent three nights at this home and found it to be well-furnished and cared for. The kitchen is well-equipped and there are lots of useful items for vacationers. It is in excellent condition and the gardens around the house are beautiful. But, as is often the case in Volcano, it was very cold at night. The house has no central heat, and the only available heat when we were there was the cast-iron stove in the living/dining area. We had some trouble lighting it, but even with it running, it was inadequate to heat the sleeping areas. We contacted the owner and property manager who were helpful but could not deliver a space heater until the 3rd night. So for the first 2 nights we slept in our clothes as the bedroom temperature was very cold.
So we can happily recommend the house for warm weather, but if it is likely to be cold during your stay, you should contact the owner first to ensure that some form of additional heating will be provided.
Had a wonderful stay in this well kept beautiful home. Lots of space and loved the surroundings. So peaceful and lush. Loved listening to the birds. Everything we needed for the beach was provided. Really appreciated that. My family really enjoyed our stay. The check in Was super simple and communication with owner was so easy.
Thank you for sharing your home with our family!
Clean and modern house, responsive hosts. The fridge had trouble staying cold and it’s hard to get someone to fix it last minute but hopefully that got fixed already. Other than that it was a great stay!
Our family enjoyed the lava flow in Volcanoes, this was a perfect spot to come back to and start off from. Kiddos loved the double bunks in one room. Great place- had everything and more that we could need.
My spouse and I were called off the island when my father took gravely ill the day before our stay was scheduled so we were unable to take the trip from Kona to stay at Royal Hawaiian Estates. However, the other two in our party of four did go and they enjoyed their stay very well. They only stayed one night due to wet, cold weather, but they said the place was quite comfortable and that we would have enjoyed it very well except for the weather. The only drawback they reported was that the dehumidifier was loud and, because of the wet weather, it ran on and off all night leaving them less than fully rested. All in all the accommodations we very good.
