Incredible oasis in your own little paradise!

Words cannot describe how amazing the owners make you feel here. Truly unique setting outside of Hilo with all the little touches taken care of by the owners. So peaceful and tranquil, you will never want to leave.

Enjoyed our stay

The property is lovely, the hosts are great and the place has everything you need. We enjoyed our time, we found the jungle night time noises very relaxing and slept really well. The kids loved the koi pond and the property.

Beautiful Oasis!

I contributes to be impressed with each new thing I discovered. Not only is this place beautiful and the communication with the host fantastic but they’ve thought of every possible way to make you feel welcome and to take care of you if you forgot something from beach gear and cold packs for picnics (and condiments) to hygiene products and books to read. I highly recommend this place!

Little Paradise

We enjoyed this peaceful relaxing studio for 3 relaxing nights. Everything is impeccable and thought out so you feel at home. The grounds are like a big park complete with waterfall and pond. Thank you Jeff for the fresh chicken eggs, they were most delicious! Do not hesitate to book here before they get all booked up from the great reviews! Mahalo.

This is a truly a great guest house and we had wonderful experience of staying. Beautiful architect, tasteful decoration and host's great attention to details all made it a comfortable stay for us. Jennifer and Jeff are very friendly people, offered lots of great stuff like beach chairs, coolers, umbrella, all meant to make it convenient for their guest and also showed their caring! They also shared great info while we were on the big island which was very helpful! Plus they were approachable all the times and are so helpful. We wished we booked longer with them. Everything as amazing!

Amazing little piece of paradise!

We had a great stay at Jennifer and Jeff's wonderful estate. We were traveling with our two year old and she had a blast at the property. Whether it was running on the grass, saying good morning to the pond fish or bocking at the chickens, it was a great time! The house was very clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Jeff even greeted us with umbrellas when we pulled up, as it happened to be raining at the time. Don't hesitate to stay here!

Perfect Couples Retreat

We stayed here a few nights during Hilo side of the trip. Really great property that felt secluded but still close to food and grocery options. The property owners were very friendly and helpful with local recommendations for us. We would stay here again.

Hilo side stay

Great little place tucked away from the busier Hilo area. Probably a bit better suited for 4 than 5 given the overall size and having to use an air mattress. Owners were nice and let my kids feed the koi, which was exciting for them.

Best Stay Ever

This guest house was the most wonderful and beautiful place I have ever stayed. The peaceful koi pond and fountain were so calming, and the grounds with the beautiful gardens and fruit trees were such a gorgeous backdrop. The pictures don’t do the estate justice. It’s beyond words. Jeff and Jennifer were incredibly kind and thoughtful and very helpful with suggestions of how to make the most of my time on the Big Island. The bed is very comfortable, and the house was so tastefully furnished and decorated. It has everything you could need and more. There is even a ukulele, which I played a few times! When I wasn’t out exploring, I spent most of my time sitting on the porch taking it all in. Truly did not want to leave. Highly recommend. Can’t wait to return!!

Secluded paradise!

Immaculate garden and studio guest house; very clean and comfortable with all immediate necessities; peaceful and secluded; friendly, low key and communicative owners. We had a wonderful two night stay, a perfect place from which to explore the western side of the island. The location is away from town, very relaxing, with stars, stars, stars... We have already told many friends, and will return.

Very nice property, great hosts.

Very nice, large gated property with friendly hosts. Guest house is a large single room with queen bed as described. There are penned-in chickens with roosters that will crow in the morning. At night you'll hear coqui frogs and other typical night life but it's fairly quiet inside with the windows closed. I did have to find and relocate a very loud coqui frog that took up residence in the Y-support for the overhang close to a window. There's no stove but there is a mini microwave, hot plate and large toaster oven. Standard refrigerator had some supplies including milk and peanut butter and various sauces. No AC. Fans only. Good, mostly quiet location to many local points of interest. Storage container outside has some snorkeling gear, beach chairs, umbrellas and water toys. Very nice, personal experience.

Quiet guesthouse on beautiful property

Our family of 3 loved our stay at the guesthouse. The house was very clean and comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking. We enjoyed the view from the lanai over the lush property. Our daughter especially loved feeding the koi fish and chasing frogs.
