We had a lovely time at this fun house and AMAZING property. It's a very comfortable home for a family getaway, and within easy walking distance of a few cute stores, two restaurants, farm stands, and a goat-cuddling farm. Highly recommend.

Local family from Hawai’i family reunion weekend! 1. Host provided excellent communication and replies within seconds the kind of host I would like running my place.2. This is Hamakua country living not the city. facilities are impossible to maintain 100% but overall well maintained.3. If you have a bigger group I would recommend. A lot of space and price cannot be beat!

Great Place to Stay

This is a great place to stay if you have a large group. Our family enjoyed the solitude and also picking the fruit around the property. We would stay here again.

Very spacious, clean and comfortable!!!

The home is a great place to spread out and relax. Lots of balconies and a large kitchen/living room to hang out and socialize. Just up the hill from Honomu which has a few great shops and places to have lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!

Sounds of the rainforest

We loved the amazing sounds of the rainforest. The kids loved the air hockey table and fruits and watching the chickens and pigs. There was plenty of space, some of the spaces could use updating, but it was functional.

Vacation

Wonderful property. Well stocked too. Had plenty of the essentials. The fruit that we picked were quite tasty. Neighborhood quiet with no noise or light pollution. The master bath tub was huge and long (at least 5ft). We were also provided with quite a bit of information about the area. Mahalo

Spacious and relaxing!

The property was spacious inside and out. Plenty of beds available that we didn’t even use. The grill and long patio dining table was very useful. My family enjoyed a nice dinner outside. We enjoyed the nature and the many fruit trees and seeing wild animals that would come by. It’s a nice and quiet neighborhood. It was so convenient to be able to walk to the restaurants, shops and bakery. Go see Mr. Ed at his bakery! Also really good coffee at The Hive and awesome tacos near by. We walked over to pet the goats at a nearby farm as well. There are many night bugs as expected in a farm but we just closed the doors and used the air condition at night.

Hawaii 6-0

We visited Hawaii for the first time this summer for my parent's 60th Anniversary. There were 11 of us in total at the house and we could not have made a better choice. There was plenty of space for everyone ( ok sometimes the teenage girls spent too much time in the bathrooms) and the surroundings were perfect. We loved meals on the balcony overlooking the ocean. Air hockey was fun to play. The amazing soothing sounds of the coqui frogs at night led to peaceful sleep,(earplugs were available if you didnt want to hear them). The absence of city lights was also enjoyable as we saw star filled skys. We enjoyed the fruit on the property like coconut,( the 12year old figured out how to open them) the Ice Cream pods, lemon and even cacao pods. We saw lilliokoi, bananas, mangosteen and avocados that were not quite ripe. Our friend chicken little welcomed us and followed when we followed the trails and the wild pigs were cool. What made this stay even better was the locals. Walking town to the town square and talking to the locals who offered great advice was priceless. And the food was good also. If you want something touristy, go to Kona, but if you want the real Hawaiian vibe you have to go to the Honomu House and enjoy!!!

自然豊か何素敵な家

フルーツの木もたくさんあり、ベッドの数も沢山で１０人でとても快適に過ごせました。フライパンの汚れが前に使った方があまり綺麗に洗ってなくて、こびり付いた汚れを落とすのが大変でした。それ以外は、あさは小鳥の声で目が覚め、都会の喧騒から離れとてもリラックスできました。
