Pure Paradise

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay was absolute perfection. There was plenty of space for the entire family, accompanied by gorgeous ocean views and daily visits from local sea turtles. The location could not be better—it served as a convenient base for day trips to both Hilo and Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. The property had everything we could possibly need for a comfortable and effortless vacation. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Overall we enjoyed our stay. It does get quite hot even with windows open. Some of the fans in the rooms did not work or were stuck on low. The view and the pool were amazing.

Great location and breathtaking views off the sea cliffs. Very much off the beaten path/ quiet - we loved that we could hear the waves crashing on the lava rocks outside. The pool and hot tub were much appreciated by our elementary school age kids. The property is older but well maintained.

This is a cool place on the volcanic cliffs. A beautiful yard that we enjoyed. The house is good but it needs some upkeep. We did have a few maintenance issues which they worked with us to resolve.

Unbelievably beautiful place! Dreamlike location, top-tier star gazing. Easy drives to all the best of Puna. The house was perfect for our group of 7. Comfortable, well-provisioned. Host was attentive and responsive. Fell asleep to the roar of the ocean every night and watched the sunrise from the rocks every morning. Unforgettable. Can’t recommend highly enough

Beautiful and relaxing stay.

This house and the surrounding area are perfect if you are looking for a quiet, peaceful, tropical vacation. The house was clean and beautifully situated if you enjoy listening to the sound of the ocean (which we LOVE). The neighborhood was walkable and peaceful. We would stay here again and again.

We were very pleased with this property. The ocean front location is beautiful and we frequently saw turtles in the water in front of the house. Our kids enjoyed the pool and the hot tub. The property was clean and well-maintained. The property is professionally managed and the management team was very responsive.

We loved our time at this property. The house cools down quickly once you open all the windows. Check in was super easy and our two questions were answered quickly via text. The home felt like a destination unto itself. Watching the sunrise and turtles in the AM and relaxing in the pool at night were perfect ways to bookend our Hilo-side adventures.

Unique location

Property was as shown in pictures. It is a bit of a drive from amenities and the town of Hilo so just be prepared before heading to the house. It offers a private and quiet area to relax. The hot tub was great at the end of the day. Wonderful views of the ocean and neat volcanic shoreline.

Pretty perfect

It was beautiful. Hot without windows open, but cooled off quickly. Small ants food get into a few things like food and tooth brush so put everything in sealed bags, but it definitely did not ruin our stay. Kids lived the pool and adults loved the hot tub. Can't beat the view!!
