Exceptional vacation rental! Our return to the Pahoa area to renew our wedding vows was made a memory we will never forget, in part due to the extraordinary details Jennifer and Jeff put into the rental. There was not one detail that was not addressed. If you need it while staying there, they’ve thought of it and made sure it’s clean and ready for your use. The grounds are so beautiful, you enjoy nature and privacy in a setting that would be hard to replicate elsewhere. Need extra towels or chairs for your beach visit-checkWant to try snorkeling- check Want to learn to play the ukele- checkRelax on the lanai to watch the rain - they left blankets for cuddling and candles for ambianceMy husband’s review: it was awesome, wish we’d stayed there longer.Not sure how future rentals will surpass theirs. If you want to get away from it while on the Big Island , but still have the chance to visit the sites; THIS IS YOUR SPOT!Just hope it will be available for our return trips. Mahalao to Jeff and Jennifer for sharing their beautiful compound.

Honestly, their hospitality was amazing. We feel that they were very attentive while still giving us privacy and space to do what we wanted to do. The space that they created is truly magical and kinda wished we would have done this trip without kids. They made sure to contact us through chat....which sadly I didnt actually checked until the last day, when I was checking what time checkout was at. They informed us early when the volcano erupted...luckily we actually visited the NP that day but arrived when it was already over and asked one of the traffic guides why it was so busy. Anyways, our stay was magical and they were amazing!

Jeff and Jennifer were amazing hosts. We loved their property/slice of paradise and got to enjoy their outdoor patio, garden, koi pond & chicken coop. They were located near a lot of great businesses and it was easy to get to Volcano National Park from their home. We’re looking forward to our next stay with them!

Perfect location to see all the sights on the big island. Jennifer and Jeff were the most gracious hosts. The property was gorgeous, well stocked and very comfortable. Waking up and coming back to this oasis each day was fantastic. The gardens are amazing. Would definitely recommend this place and would not hesitate to stay again if the opportunity arises.

Jennifer and Jeff are some of the best host we have dealt with over the years! Their home and surroundings make you feel right at home. They had everything we needed for our stay. Their property was relaxing and inviting. Best of all, I was happy that they were the owners and it wasn’t under a management company! A true VRBO! Mahalo

We absolutely loved our stay at this exceptional property! If you love a tropical landscape, chirping frogs at night and a wake-up call from birds/chickens in the morning, and a quiet space to relax and replenish after a day of adventure this is the place to stay! The guest house is beautifully appointed and Jeff and Jennifer are fabulous hosts that put in extra effort to provide special little touches to your stay. I’m going to miss the smell of the flowers in the guest house and all the peaceful sights/sounds that abound here! Exquisite!
Loved the chickens and roosters!

Jennifer and Jeff, the hosts of this property are very welcoming. The accomodation is a quaint little cottage at the back of their home that is equipped with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The fruit trees, garden and surrounds are so well care of and we found it very calming and refreshing. I hope we can return one day to stay here again to experience this magical island!
