The property is full of lush landscaping, and the accommodations are beautiful and well appointed. Plenty of pantry items, which is a huge plus compared to most rentals. Jacob was always responsive and helpful with answering questions about the area. We'll be back!
The property is beautiful. It has a very Zen like quality and while close by and accommodating, the owners are not at all intrusive.
We had plenty of space the kitchen is set up well for cooking with pretty much everything you need.
The property is in an area that is very quiet while a tad remote it doesn’t take long to get to the closest town.
Thank you again for our wonderful stay!
As we were driving a series of long winding roads to this property we said to ourselves, “this place is going to have to be really nice to be worth the drive.” And it was. The nature sounds were amazing. Eating every meal on the lanai was lovely. The kids fought over who got to sleep on the lanai. It’s close to a beautiful black sands clothing-optional beach, and otherwise there’s not much to do out there. It’s not the best jumping off point for lots of island touring, but it’s the perfect spot to get away from it all and relax.
Stayed here and it ended up being exactly what I needed.There’s something different about this side of the island. It’s raw, alive, still being formed. You feel it the moment you arrive. This place sits right in that energy. Quiet, grounded, and far enough from the noise to actually let you reset.The space itself was clean, well kept, and thoughtfully put together. Nothing excessive, nothing missing. Just simple, intentional, and comfortable. Waking up out here feels different. Slower. Clearer.What stood out most was the location. You’re close to everything you need, but it still feels tucked away. Easy access to food, markets, and some of the most unique coastline you’ll find anywhere. If you’re someone who appreciates nature, solitude, and a little bit of edge to your environment, this is your place.The host, Jacob was solid. Communication was easy, no issues, no friction.This isn’t a resort experience, and that’s the point. It’s real Hawaii. If you come here with the right mindset, it gives something back to you.I’d stay again.

Thank you so much for staying with us and the wonderful review! Aloha~
The space and the grounds exceeded our expectations. It is gorgeous and all put together with a lot of thought. Like it is noted in the description, the space is new and it feels that way. If our kids weren't in need of some adventures I would have been content just to lay on the lanai couch and read for days.
We have three kids and there is a small park a block away. Some evenings it seemed like the whole neighborhood was hanging out there so we got to meet some other kids.
I spent two nights in this beautiful home and I felt like I was in the middle of the jungle. My favorite part was the outdoor shower. Loved the decorations inside and the day bed on the balcony was so relaxing.
We loved our stay here. The house is beautiful and the garden is incredible. The area was just what we needed: peaceful, quiet, off the beaten path, but close enough to everything we needed. The geckos on the gorgeous patio in the morning, and the chorus of frogs at night, was such a delightful treat. We highly recommend this beautiful healing space.
Myself & my 3 best friends rented the place for my 50th birthday. It was even more beautiful than the photos showed. The decor was unique with a fully equipped kitchen & luxury bathroom. The sounds of the birds & frogs from the deck were unreal. It was like a jungle retreat. River was very helpful & friendly for whatever we needed. Bubba was great company as well. He helped us not miss our own dogs as much. I would recommend this place to anyone who values tranquility & relaxation. Thanks to Jacob & River. We all appreciate you having us as your guests & hope to visit again one day.
Wanting to explore Volcano/Pahoa area for a few days with our maltipoo, Jacob's place was perfect!
'Garden of the Phoenix' is a great name for Jacob's space: so lush, green, clean. We own a condo in Waikoloa Village where we escape Alaska winters. With friends from Alaska visiting us, we wanted to explore with them Volcano and Pahoa area (the Lava Tree State Monument and the monkey pod grove). It took us about twenty minutes to get to Pahoa (highly recommend Kaleo's for lunch or dinner there) and Volcano was about an hour's drive from Jacob's place. But we didn't mind the drive and really enjoyed the quaint community--great place for early morning walks. Enjoyed exploring a different part of the Big Island. Jacob's place is comfortable, clean, newly constructed with fun, unique decor. Our favorite spot was the beautiful deck/lanai space overlooking their backyard. Highly recommend!
