"We chose the Jungle House for our Merrie Monarch and birthday celebration. As a party of six, the Jungle House was the perfect spot for out family. Each person had their own bed. The lanai became our favorite gathering place. The property was clean and well organized. We enjoyed playing with the cats, watching roosters and pigs, and listening to the birds and frogs. The owner was quick to answer any questions, and even provided coupons to local places. We had a marvelous stay."

"My stay at Ocean Temple in Pahoa, Hawaii, was pure bliss. This oceanfront retreat, backed by 500 acres of state land, is a sanctuary of serene quietness. The soothing sound of the Pacific Ocean and the absence of urban noise created a deeply peaceful escape. At night, the star-filled sky, with the Milky Way in full view, was breathtaking.The 1,100 sq ft open-plan space, once a Buddhist Retreat Center, exudes tranquility. Expansive sliding glass doors frame ocean and garden views, while mahogany accents, a king-size bed with cotton bedding, and plush towels add luxury. The lanai was perfect for sunrise coffee or whale-watching (in winter). A nearby black sand beach offered a serene spot for yoga or reflection.Privacy is ensured with a private entrance, and the shared laundry room is a plus. Nearby Kehena Beach, Volcano National Park, and local farmers’ markets added adventure, but the property’s calm drew me back. Dining options in Pahoa and Uncle Robert’s marketplace delighted with fresh flavors.The cleanest air in the U.S. and vibrant surroundings left me rejuvenated. Ocean Temple’s sacred vibe and serene quietness made it unforgettable. I left feeling refreshed and can’t wait to return."

"Great place. Nice people. Would stay again"

"Owners were amazing and the property was old school hawaiian. The lush property and drive down papaya farms road was incredible! Couldnt have asked for better place to stay!"

"We came over for a quick one-night trip to see the volcano and celebrate a birthday. It was such a cool property with plenty of space for everyone. The location was perfect for activities in Hilo and at Volcano. Highly recommend."

"We loved the house and its close setting to the shore, where you could see sunrise, big waves, dolfins and turtles. The area of rainforest and fresh lava fields is amazing. So spend a few more nights on Big Island and visit that spot! Its absolutely worth it."
