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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

The Bird's Nest is a beautiful home a little distance from Hilo but quite convenient for going up to Volcano National Park. Both places were highlights of our trip. The abundant lizards, frogs and birds on the property delighted my son and husband.

Beautiful Property, Excellent Experience

We enjoyed our stay at The Bird’s Nest. The property is spacious, clean and well equipped. It was a perfect place to hangout. Check in was easy and the hosts provided a plate of fresh fruit which was much appreciated as our flights to the Island arrived late in the evening. There’s so much to explore on the Big Island and it was great to relax here at the end of the day. Highly recommended this property.

About the host

Hosted by Khym Catton

Host profile image
I am a fun & loving mother of three sons! Both my husband, Josh & I are currently "empty nesters!" We love to surf, hike, travel & have fun. I make handmade baby blankets, love baking anything sourdough, learning languages, love to cook healthy foods & also help people bring healthy eating habits into their lifestyle.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because it was located right next to our home & we wanted to do something special with it. We decided to build the house that sits on it now & turn it into a vacation rental, the "Bird's Nest," so that we could create a relaxing & peaceful living space for guests to stay in & feel a part of the Big Island's community, our community, while traveling. We love meeting people from around the world.

What makes this property unique

The Bird's Nest is located in a peaceful neighborhood & was built on a second story so it almost feels like your in a tree house. Since clearing the land, we have been slowly trying to bring back some of the native Hawaiian plants & fruit trees onto the property to give it a tropical feel. There are bird songs to be heard during the day & coqui frog chirps to be heard at night.
