Hawaii Vacation

We went to Pahoa to visit family and we couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay. The rental was comfortable and we loved the views, outdoor shower and nightly serenade by the coqui frogs. Manfred and Elfie were so gracious, helpful and accommodating during our entire stay. We would definitely stay here again!

Scenic country stay

We had a great stay at Manfred & Elfie’s place! Loved the outdoor shower! About 30 minutes from Hilo (loved the Farmer’s Market) and just under an hour from Volcanoes National Park. Very short walk to the scenic beach for the perfect morning sunrise! We spent a very relaxing week in this secluded spot. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Beautiful Hawaiian Retreat!

Better than I even imagined. Beautiful and comfortable both inside and out. Great Wi-Fi! Husband and I worked several days and appreciated that there are two tables set up in different rooms and really appreciated that the Wi-Fi was awesome! Neighborhood is lovely and took a short drive (on Elfie’s recommendation) to see where the 2018 lava had traveled in nearby Leilani Estates.

Country escape.

We had a real nice time in this cozy, homey and quiet apartment with a lovely yard. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. You can walk to the water in a few minutes away and the jungle is close as well. We were supplied with fold out chairs and a cooler. Very helpful for driving to a beach.Groceries are a few miles away. We felt lucky to have picked this place.

Pahoa

Above and beyond our expectations. Did not disappoint. The host was a pleasure to get to know. Easy access, 20 minutes from Hilo airport. A rural, tropical experience. The Government costal road was like a ride through Jurassic Park. You can be any place on the Big Island in less than 2 hours. The little town of Pahoa had all the amenities we needed.

funky but comfy

This is a compact space but well organized. The kitchen is small and stocked with basics, maybe not everything you need for major meals, but enough for simple ones. This unit is intended to be accessible, and as such counters and light switches are low. If you're tall, the kitchen sink is very short! We were greeted at arrival, and had one maintenance issue which was promptly addressed.

Spacious, relaxing, lovely grounds

This was such a comfortable spot for us. We really enjoyed the safe neighborhood, our friendly hosts, and the proximity to ocean viewing. During our visit, the surf was pounding which was exciting. We understand during milder weather, one can watch turtles here. We were OK not seeing them as the wave action was fantastic. This is a spacious suite with a full kitchen and 2 bedrooms. Our bedroom had a king size bed. Best sleep I’ve experienced on the Island. We enjoyed the coqui frogs lulling us to sleep at night. We were a party of 3, myself, spouse, and my sister, so we appreciated having such a large apartment. Hawaiian Beaches is about 4 - 5 miles from Pahoa. We made several driving trips while here. To Pahoa - recommend Tin Shack Bakery and the free Olympic sized community swimming pool, the fruit/veggie stands on the road to Hilo. To Volcano - Kilauea was spewing, fantastic views with binoculars, Thurston lava tube walk was impressive. To Hilo for the Saturday market, Japanese botanical gardens at Liliuokalani Park, turtle watching at Richardson Beach. To Lava Tree Park where we just happened on the Music Monday group jamming. Apartment is very private but Manfred and Elfie are just next door and were so helpful when we had questions. They have created a special retreat here which we highly recommend.

Thanksgiving 2022

Well we weren't supposed to need a place, but what "gem" we found.. Elfie and Manfred were the host hostess you can have... Our granddaughters stayed the weekends and it was no problem. Other places said NO KIDS but they were ok.. with ours.. we even had Thanksgiving there..... Wonderful 😊 We will definitely come back!!!

Beautiful, charming, inviting

Beautiful property. Our host Elfie, who is nextdoor, is sweet and attentive. The only learning curve are the serenading frogs at night. I used earplugs which worked ideally, my wife said after two nights she didn’t notice them any longer. I would come back just for the outdoor shower…need one of these in my life! Just a comfortable, relaxing stay.

Gracious hosts and everything you need

Elfie and Manfred were friendly hosts. Elfie greeted us on arrival and showed us the amenities, making sure we had all the basics. She also pointed out the extras, including a guidebook and a cooler and beach towels for outings. We had lots of space to spread out inside and out, since it was only two of us. I sometimes ate breakfast on the patio, even on rainy mornings. The king bed was comfy, with a ceiling fan to help cool. If you're a light sleeper, I suggest earplugs to block out the constant creature (I think frogs?) sounds at night. The floors are stone, so bring slippers if your feet/joints need support. The outdoor shower was splendid, and hosts provided body wash, shampoo and conditioner. We spent our days driving to different destinations (waterfalls, Volcano Natl Park, beaches, Mauna Kea), and this house was a great place to come back to after a long day out. Restaurants and a grocery store are also quite close by. The house is indeed a short walk to the island's edge where you can watch waves crash against the cliffs. I conversed with the hosts a few times, and they were always amiable and gracious. They love sharing their home with new people. Overall, it was a great stay for a once-in-a-lifetime trip
