Wonderful location, fully equipped, every detail has been thought of. There is a beautiful area. I’ll talk where you can have a bath, which is so well set up and private.. We were so glad that we booked this place, zero regrets!!!!
Hale Hapu’u was a wonderful retreat. Very clean, cozy, had most everything we needed, and we especially loved the lanai which is beautifully done and the perfect spot for eating, studying, and just spending time. We really appreciated to attention to detail that was put into this guest house!
This place was great for 2 people and perfectly situated between Hilo and Volcano. Loved the decor and Hawaiian vibe! So comfortable and serene. And Scott was amazing at communicating! Would definitely recommend.
This house was an absolite delight to stay in. The Hawaiian theme was so fun, the home was clean, and extremely well organized. They have the cutest outdoor areas to spend time hanging out in too. Also, the bed and pillows were the most comfortable i've ever slept on while on vacation! Would definitely recommend this property!
At first, a bit tricky to find, especially at night in the rain. Google maps sends you in the wrong direction. But easy to find once you find it. Just go down Maku’u and take a right on 12th and it’s right there in the right side. Property is very nicely appointed. Chickens and other gorgeous birds visited every day. The covered patio is great for morning coffee and evening wine. With two ceiling fans, we never turned on the a/c My wife loves the tub.
A 5 minute drive to a scenic ocean view with places to sit on the rocks , close to the highways to get to volcanoes national . The house was beautiful and everything we needed !
Lovely cottage with Hawaiian motif. Quiet and secure. Scott was very responsive and even bought a steamer to help with our travel wrinkled clothes. We were attending a special event and were very appreciative. We had a great grilled breakfast on the patio of local eggs and vegetables. Would stay again!
This is the place to go to get out of the hustle and bustle of the cities. Close enough to both Hilo and Volcano National Park. The setup and details of the unit are next level unbelievable! Thank you for a great day... hope to stay again some day soon.
Great little place for two to spend a few nights on the east side of Big Island. It was clean, comfortable and we had no issues during our stay. Highly recommend. Scott was great and answered any questions that we had.
Had a brief encounter with Scott and Tracy and they were absolutely lovely and so kind hearted. The cottage was cozy and nicely decorated. My favorite part was the outdoor tub with privacy shades. Hope to come back.
Looking for a beautifully crafted, well maintained, tropical getaway with thoughtful amenities? This is your place! We loved our stay here - convenient to both Hilo, the National Park, and charming beaches - a private oasis to return to. Thank you, Scott!
