The place was amazing - incredible views, well equipped, clean, responsive hosts, great location. If you are looking for a place with privacy, this fits the bill. You won't find many with so much nature all around on the islands. There's plenty of space inside but you also have a sizable lanai and the balcony to listen to nature and view it.

We enjoyed our stay at this home about 12 mi. North of Hilo.

This property is beautiful, peaceful, and quiet. A good location from which to go to the Botanical Gardens, Akaka Falls, and to take the road north to Waimea. J&M Feb. 2025

Amazing place to stay!

We really enjoyed staying here while in Hilo/Honamu. It's a lovely, comfortable unit with an outstanding view! Quite area, no close neighbors. The caretakers were helpful, but not intrusive and were off site most of the time. We would happily come back again!

We just spent a week at this wonderful property. Great view, very comfortable home, and well stocked. It felt remote and very relaxing...but also just a quick trip into Hilo for dinner. The owners, Andrea and Brian, were very responsive and accomplish, thank you! We had a great trip.

Rainbows & nature

Fantastic stay, we loved the view and the rooms, bedding, towels, kitchen, outdoor room, laundry, screens on the windows - we loved the open windows! The hot tub was fantastic with views of the stars one night. So happy we chose this property instead of staying in Hilo.

Great getaway!

What a great location to get away from it all! We loved feeling like we were in the clouds when the rain set in. We loved the sound of the distant waterfall and stream and our little granddaughter even learned to love the sounds of the croakie frogs at night. Highly recommend this little slice of rural Hawaii.

We’ve rented several vrbos throughout Hawaii - this stay was the best. The house, location, and the attention to detail were more than we hoped for. We relaxed, explored, and recharged. Thank you so much for a wonderful time - we’ll definitely be back!

Visiting Family

We were visiting Hilo for my dad's 80th Birthday celebration and took a mini staycation. While the location is farther out of Hilo than we normally stay, Honomu was perfect. The view was absolutely amazing! The home was nice and clean and more than enough space for the three of us. Gazing up at the stars at night in the jacuzzi was the highlight of our stay. Mahalo for sharing your home with us.
