About this property

Secluded garden bungalow in the jungle

Trade winds blow through this tropical paradise. The ocean is an easy 10-15 minute walk. This recently remodeled home is surrounded by a tropical garden and is the perfect getaway. The house is situated on a one-acre lot that is fully landscaped. There are an uncountable variety of tropical trees, plants and fruits on this property. There is a comfortable fully covered lanai to spend your evenings watching the sunset after a day of exploring the island.
Our home is fully furnished and has everything you need to make your trip memorable. This is a one-bedroom home with a queen-sized bed that has a wonderful view of the morning sunrise. The kitchen has granite counters, dishwasher and is equipped for cooking at home. We provide all linens and towels. There is wireless internet access. The property is gated so it is private.
We do not use catchment water. We have our own private well to take care of all of your water needs.
The Jungalow's central location makes a great home base for short trips to Volcano National Park, the Hamakua Coast, Akaka Falls, Kahuna Falls, Rainbow Falls, Umauma Falls, Farmers’ Markets and a nearby Black Sand Beach. There are many great restaurants nearby in Pahoa and Hilo.

A Ring video camera is located on the front lanai.

If you need more room please see our VRBO listing #395200 which is on the adjoining property.

Sweet Puna Home

The house was attractive, comfortable, spacious, with everything we needed. A peaceful country neighborhood. Especially loved the large yard, and every day discovering some new exotic fruit, foliage or flower on the edge of the “jungle”.

The house was very cute and felt like a real vacation escape. It's very private with lots of lovely frogs chirping at night and geckos. We very much enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it.

Beautiful Secluded Property

This property is gorgeous! Every step around it is a view of a different flower, plant or fruit tree. We love the lushness of this side of the island. We stayed 4 nights of our honeymoon here. The house was perfect for us. Very relaxing! Clean, comfortable and private.

A real getaway!

If you want a real retreat from your normal day to day, the Jungalow may be just the place for you. A roomy, well stocked bungalow - perfect for two. Surrounded by tropical jungle - complete with nature's symphony as 'background music' - this is an ideal getaway spot. We loved our time in this unique location and will not soon forget our experience there!

Romantic & Cute Bungalow

The Jungalow, was nicely and tastefully equipped with everything we needed for our stay near Hilo. Unfortunately we couldn't enjoy so much the outside part of the facility since it rained often during our stay. Debra is a friendly and helpful host.

Another week in Paradise's Jungalow

This is our second stay in this unique Jungalow on a beautiful piece of property.... it felt like "coming home" as we drove down the winding driveway. The home has incredible views of its own "rain forested jungle" with fruit trees, orchids, birds etc. I love cooking in their fully stocked kitchen and then leisurely reading on the lovely lanai. We spent each morning at The Cliffs for walks at dawn - just a few minutes away. Sightseeing in Hilo and the surrounding area is only 20 minutes away. We can't wait to return!

A True Paradise

We have visited the Hawaii area over the years and love the wild beauty of this Island! Finding this "Jungalow" has just added a true motivation to return (again and again). This beautiful bungalow sits on a gorgeous piece of manicured property. Our favorite memory is sitting on the lanai watching clouds, birds, sun, plants, rain (sometimes all in the same hour!)_. This VRBO is completely stocked, beautifully furnished and so comfortable! We highly recommend!

Jungalow in Paradise

This house is simply perfect. Sit on the lanai and soak in the songs of nature, frogs serenading in the evening, birds chirping in the mornings, waves roaring against the cliffs in the distance. A great way to start and finish your days here. The house is great, perfect place to reset and reconnect, super clean, well equipped, everything you need and nothing you don't. Pahoa and Keaau are close, Hilo within 30 minutes. Thanks for a lovely trip, can't wait to return to the Jungalow in the near future.

The house is exactly as pictured. Adorable house, Yard is beautiful. Loved having morning coffee and reading out on the deck. The house does get a little warm during the day if no breeze. Property Manger very helpful when we had a couple questions. Kitchen is very well equipped. It's perfect for 2 people.

Wonderful

We’ve been to Hawaii many times and have stayed at many vacation rentals / airbnbs and I can say without a doubt the Jungalow was the nicest place we’ve stayed at so far. Check in was easy enough… we appreciated the extra security of the locked gate at the top of the driveway. The rental was secluded, serene and surrounded by beautiful tropical fruit, palm and avocado trees, which we took advantage of every morning to add some fresh local fruit to our breakfasts. I took a walk around the neighborhood and saw some other obvious vacation rentals, which weren’t nearly as private or as lush as the Jungalow. There was a big rain storm for the first couple of days but we were content to sit on the big lanai, watch geckos, listen to thunder and enjoy our peaceful time at our perfectly appointed home away from home. When the weather improved, it was just a short drive to nearby food, beaches etc. All in all it was a great rental and we would absolutely stay there again.

Perfect Hilo-side Homebase

We loved the Jungalow! The place was clean, well-stocked with necessities, and the location was perfect (for us). I didn’t need a single thing from the host but I did ask a few questions and she was responsive. Deb has great recommendations for restaurants in nearby Pahoa which we frequented. The house cooled down really nicely at night with the windows open and fan going. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to friends. Thanks for a great stay!

Beautiful place near Hilo

the place itself is gorgeous, private, peaceful, but a drive to pretty much anywhere and not much to do in that hood. The description should probably be updated, as some of the places described are no longer accessible. Having had a b and b myself, I would never think to ask guests to wash the linens, and we did not, as we left at daylight and did not want the clothes to sit in the washer for any length of time. One suggestion, fix the front gate. But one of the prettiest spots in Hilo.
