Everything was perfect. Well stocked kitchen, beautiful grounds, off the beaten path which is something we look for. Keeau is a charming town with decent food options.
The Guest House was an amazing place to stay! It wasn’t hot at all, even without an air conditioner it stayed really cool in the night. During the day, it was the perfect little quiet slice of heaven (or Hawai’i!). I will be booking with Laura and Aki the next time I visit the big island!
The guest house was the perfect stay for us. It was private, spacious, fully equipped with all you could need and tastefully decorated. The grounds were beautiful and well manicured. We were able to enjoy our days out at the beach and then come back and enjoy a meal from the grill. Having a washer/dryer was another great addition.
What a lovely place to stay while the festival was going on! Orchid House is situated on a beautifully lush acre. Cottage is well stocked, comfortable and perfect for friends to share.
Mahalo!
Very nice place in a somewhat remote area, although there are neighbors. Small but comfortable house, excellent patio, and very beautiful yard, bordered by jungle. Feel asleep to the songs of the coqui frogs every night. Good market and shops in Pahoa, about 15 minutes drive. Hilo is close to 30 minutes away.
A problem with the water came up a the day before our stay, but Aki and Laura had it taken care of before we arrived, and communicated very well. Very happy with the way they handled the unexpected situation. Great hosts!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The property was well maintained and conveniently located between Hilo and Pahoa. It’s on a dead end road which gives you added privacy. It was well equipped and maintained. The owners were friendly and accommodating.
Highly recommend! The host was lovely and kind - communication was prompt & easy. The location is in a nicer residential area and we felt very safe. The check in process was a breeze. The guest house was just what we needed with plenty of amenities, as described, for our needs. The guest house was conveniently located in the area we wanted to explore - close to sunrise view points, natural features to explore in the South and Southeast part of the island. Reasonable drive to the Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park and quick drive into Hilo, too. The surrounding area was quieter (away from city noise), which we appreciated, too. We found the property to be clean, tidy, well-appointed with everything we could need and more! - the host has all kinds of supplies if you forget something or find you need something and don't want to rent yourself. We chose this property for access to the washer/dryer so that we could pack light, which was fantastic. Check out was simple, too. Would absolutely stay again! Thank you to our host for a terrific experience and stay. Much appreciation!
Highly recommended! This was a move for us, not a vacation, so, like most moves, it was quite stressful but Laura was always kind & patient & understanding of our situation.
Def made things SO much easier. And her home was so cute & cozy! Thank you so much!!!
Great place to stay if you are visiting Pahoa, I would highly recommend.
Our experience was amazing from the first contact I had with the property. Aki & Laura made sure we had good instructions on getting to the property and access our guest house. Everything was clean and my granddaughters loved playing in the large yard and they had so many toys to keep them plenty busy.
Great accommodations, beautiful landscaping, peaceful setting (after getting used to the Coqui frogs
Outstanding, we'd book here again.
Oli surullista, ettemme tavanneet talon isäntä.
Just outstanding. Oli valitettavaa, ettemme tavanneet talon isäntää. Haluaisin puhua hänen kanssaan.
Very clean,. Although, you must travel down LONG dusty road to get to location.
Warm, although they have fans. I was charged an additional $15 for my young daughter, although we all slept in the same bed. Beautiful landscaping and secure. As a local, I would not recommend booking this location on VRBO.
We had a perfect stay in this beautiful guest house in Keaau. It was exactly as advertised. Check in was easy. The property was clean and well maintained. The owners are very kind and responsive. We loved the gorgeous backyard. One night we drove all the way to Mauna Kea to see the stars and when we got back we found that the view was actually comparable on a clear night in the garden - what an unexpected bonus! In our experience, we needed to factor in about 20 extra minutes of driving time for the activities we wanted to do (as opposed to staying in Hilo or Volcano) but the comfort, beauty, and serenity here was well worth it. We would definitely stay here again.
The cottage is very cozy.. The view was amazing. Very large and open yard, with fruit trees. Oranges, Limes.and Avocado. Aki and Laura was very attentive to any questions that I had. They gave good instructions to get to the place. There was bath towels, hand towels, kitchen towels, beach towels, cooler bag, and beach chairs.

A beautiful house and property, and gracious hosts!
We feel so lucky to have found this wonderful vacation rental in Paradise Park. It is so pretty, spotlessly clean, and extremely well appointed, with a beautiful landscaped yard with fruit trees and naive flora. Aki and Laura are the most gracious of hosts, are immediately responsive and attend to any need. We feel so grateful to have had such a wonderful stay in beautiful Paradise Park!

House wasn't ready at time of check in because of miscommunication about date of our check in, but was handled quickly. The owners are quick to respond. Beautiful property, and very quiet. The smell at night was so fragrant and wonderful. Great experience and would book this property again.
