Come & stay with us at the beautiful & peaceful Bird's Nest

The Bird's Nest is located in a peaceful neighborhood that is surrounded by lush greenery and bird songs can be heard throughout the day & tree frogs at night. The house sits high above the ground which makes it feel as if you are staying in a tree house. The road in front of the home is paved and available for walks or runs. We are located about 4 miles from a couple of beautiful hikes to either a black and white sandy beach or tide pools.

We are located about 15 minutes from Hilo, 5 miles from Pahoa and 4 miles from the ocean and sea cliffs to walk along. Volcano National Park is about a 30 minute drive and we are about a 1 1/2 hour drive over Saddle Road to white sandy beaches.

cosy and well-run
The Bird's Nest is as cosy as its name implies. It's also quiet, well-located, and well-run by thoughtful hosts who have provided almost everything you might need. It's one of the few places I've stayed with a superior kitchen-- in case you want to cook some of those lovely purchases from the local Sunday farmer's market. I would gladly stay there again, and I plan to!

Great property in HPP!
Khymberly's property was just right for us. We liked being raised up on a 2nd floor level. The grounds were wonderful and the wildlife entertaining. Close to the Puna trail to Shipman's beach and other attractions in the area. A relatively short drive to Hilo as well. The beds were comfy, the amenities just right and a wonderful base camp. Recommended!

Wonderful stay
This place is absolutely wonderful. Very clean, nicely decorated, and stocked with everything you might need (including umbrellas and coolers!). Our favorite part was the beautiful porch overlooking the back yard. It’s a great spot to relax and quietly enjoy the lush greenery. Would recommend this place and come back any time.

Hilo adjacent retreat
The Bird's Nest is a beautiful home a little distance from Hilo but quite convenient for going up to Volcano National Park. Both places were highlights of our trip. The abundant lizards, frogs and birds on the property delighted my son and husband.

Beautiful Property, Excellent Experience
We enjoyed our stay at The Bird’s Nest. The property is spacious, clean and well equipped. It was a perfect place to hangout. Check in was easy and the hosts provided a plate of fresh fruit which was much appreciated as our flights to the Island arrived late in the evening. There’s so much to explore on the Big Island and it was great to relax here at the end of the day. Highly recommended this property.

Hawaiian Paradise Park
Comfortable stay. Stayed cool inside for the most part, even though no A/C. Sleeping arrangement for 5 people was very comfortable. Felt secluded with the beautiful garden. Much different experience than staying in a hotel, able to hear the frogs all night and the doves in the day time.

family visit
A lovely home with tons of amenities. The only thing I would like to see is furnishings in the bedrooms so one can unpack and get settled in. Presently there are no drawers or shelves in which to put one's things. So I had to live out of my suitcase. The closets are large and shelving in one half would solve the problem.

Your in HAWAII …enjoy!!
Enjoyed our stay and it was a great location. Had great weather in the month of January. Khym is a great hostess and goes out of her way to answer your questions very quickly. They live next door but give you complete privacy. Keep the windows closed at night and you don’t hear the frogs. Thanks Khym for everything and we wish you and your husband all the best in the future. Aloha

Great home base for sightseeing
This house was perfect for our needs and had everything we as a family of two adults and two small kids could ask for. The house was very clean and even had beach equipment and a washer and dryer. In addition to the great amenities, the house was close enough to all the things we wanted to see (volcanos, waterfalls, etc). Such a great experience. Thank you!!

Wonderful stay at the Bird’s Nest!
This beautiful vacation home was perfect for our family. Our two young children enjoyed searching for lizards and exploring the private yard. We enjoyed peaceful mornings and evenings on the patio. The house is equipped with all you need for your stay and is comfortable and inviting. Access to East side of the island was great. Communication with the hosts was great. We highly recommend the Bird’s Nest and will stay here again in our next visit to the Big Island.

Hilo side near Puna
We very much enjoyed our stay at the "Birds Nest". We were serenaded by birds, frogs, and crickets overnight and the occasional rooster in the morning. The home is furnished nicely and is well set up for a small family or 2 couples traveling together. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you might need and they have many staples available for you to use. The grounds are very pretty and the outdoor space is very usable. We would definitely stay here again.

Tranquility!
We loved the Bird’s Nest! It was just as it was listed. The house was well-appointed and very comfortable, especially the beds. We slept well after a long day exploring Volcanoes National Park. I’d forgotten how lovely it is to wake up to the sounds of nature. If you want peace and quiet that isn’t too far from Hilo, this is the place for you. And Khymberly is great to work with. She’s responsive and clear in all her communications—very much appreciated. We would stay again.

Pleasant stay!
Beautiful location -beautiful views from the windows! Love the jungle sounds at night! The hosts were great with communicating with us. Having fresh flowers in the house was a really nice fragrant touch! The Gardenias were so fragrant! Our only complaint was that the shower would fluctuate between freezing cold and hot! and luggage racks would’ve been really convenient! Thanks for the beautiful stay in paradise!

A Pleasant and Peaceful Stay
I am a local resident who needed a place to stay while my home was being fumigated. Our stay was very comfortable and affordable. Location was just around the corner, therefore, this home would be perfect for out of town family. Everything about this quaint little 2 bedroom home had all the amenities needed for a vacation. My favorite was the deck and stairway access on either side of the house. Outdoor lighting was especially helpful for my late night arrival. Thank you for accommodating our situation. Mahalo

Bird's Nest Was Perfect!
My sister and I were visiting our brother who lives close to Hawaiian Paradise Park and the location and accommodations could not have been better. The Bird's Nest is lovely, comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed for our 5 night stay. We did a fair amount of cooking and were very pleased to discover how well equipped the kitchen was. The location was great - close to Hilo and Pahoa and only 30 minutes from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Khym is a wonderful host - very responsive and thoughtful. When we arrived at the Bird's Nest there were macadamia nuts and flowers from her garden for us to enjoy. I highly recommend the Bird's Nest to anyone traveling to the "Hilo side" of the Big Island.

Lovely home away from the bustle
We had 5 of us; a senior married couple, our granddaughter and her husband and their 1 year old son. The house is beautifully decorated and remarkably well equipped with all the conveniences of modern life. We got great use of the rice cooker and yoga mat for instance. We appreciated the washer and dryer, and the wide porch wrapping around two sides of the house. Khym andJosh stayed in touch through the vrbo portal. They left us a large bowl of fresh tropical fruits when we arrived, which was a great treat for everyone, including the baby. We found their home to be a delightful place to stay when visiting sights in the Hilo Volcano area.
