The only problem is the pillows resembled flatbread and the big and very comfortable king bed had just two. They looked lost! Also, the heavy patio doors absolutely shake the building when they close so an early riser wakes up everyone. Other than those easily corrected items, the place is stunning and the backyard is beautiful overlooking the Pacific!

Beautiful location, little outdated, quiet, clean
Beautiful location, large unit. No AC, but it wasnt uncomfortable at night. The init wasnt as nicely decorated as other places but that worked for us since we were traveling with our one year old daughter. The grounds were gorgeous though!
It was to basic...2 bar chairs 1 bar 'table' 1 chair...no other furniture.. I do no not even remember single ply tp...But for the price..you get what you pay for
If you enjoy beautiful back yard views, cold showers, wifi that doesn't work, and being 20 miles away from food services, then this is the place for you!
My wife and I spent our honeymoon on Hawai'i, and this was our third stop. The place is located on a cliff with nice views of the ocean. Overall the estate must have been very luxurious at some point of time, but it appears like it hasn't been very well maintained in the last few years. It is located some 20 minutes off Hilo, which is also the closest place to find a grocery store, restaurant or bar.
We arrived in the afternoon around 4 PM and were welcomed by a full nude photo shoot in the garden. I am sure some people would pay extra for this (probably unintended) service.
Overall the place is well equipped, has a large shared kitchen with anything one might need and each apartment has its own set of microwave, fridge and coffee maker. The apartment we stayed in was huge (two bedrooms, two bathrooms, two balconies) and could have comfortably fit two families.
As an additional easter egg our last night was 'overbooked' and we had to move to another place in 'downtown' Hilo for the last night. But overall the property manager is a very nice chap.
This property is amazing with great view, just as in picture. It is a shared villa so it feels clean enough and the bed is very comfortable but there are some touch that is missing for me to give 5 stars: 1) Carpet in the room smell a little due to humidity of Hilo, it would be much better to have fake wood floors or anything different than carpet 2) kitchen supplies are very ruined and dirty, it does not make you to want cook in there 3) Walls paint in the room is little off and there is some mold due to humidity. Overall we enjoyed our stay, especially for the price the Villa is fantastic!
External glass door was broken and covered with plastic. Bathroom sink leaked

Great Ocean View!!!! Beautiful Mansion and the natures sounds. Just remember your remotely about 12 miles from Hilo and maybe 5 miles to a small market for basic snacks. Other from that it a great place to be away from all the noise of a city.

A beautiful and classic Hawaiian "Estate" and its grounds await you. Views of the ocean through palm tree silhouettes are unobstructed, meeting high expectations! Rooms are spacious and airy. Quirkiness of some facility details must be expected due to the age of the building.

It is not a hotel. It is a house which is converted into a rental. There is no phone signal near the property. No good restaurant within 20 miles.

From the outside and entryway looks elegant
Grounds & common areas beautiful. BUT. No on-site management. Carpet in the room needs replaced. Discolored & stained. Bed was ptetty comfortable but too high off the floor. Shower curtain seemed stained & smelled of mildew, noisy a.c.(although nice to have a/c) noisy fridge. Coffee: Only one packet(for the 4 cup coffee maker) No bath mat w/towels. Small quantity of shampoo/lotion. Did not replenish -we stayed 2 nights. Microwave in common kitchen did not work.
No ice in freezer, no dish towrls in the kitchen. No smoke detectors nor escape instructions or ladder from top floor. Very concerning.
The house is impressive but massively in disrepair, all the iron doors are rotting and falling apart. Bathrooms had other people’s shampoo bottles in the tub half used and just laying in the window. Shower curtain looks terribly dirty and needs replaced. Not one bathroom rug. Bathroom vanity has dirty cleaning rags left inside it. Rice cooker was dirty and still had water in it along with being scratch and missing Teflon. All the trim, baseboards, walls, light switches, windows and frames, bathtubs, toilets need cleaned they are unsanitary. White bedding has stains all over the sheets and bed protector. Carpets need replaced very stained and pattern worn. Wood floor is water damaged in several places and needs replaced. Entrance is dirty,both stair cases. No manager on duty. Kitchen had dirty silverware and plates. Had to wash everything to be able to make any attempt at food prep with only a electric skillet and no other pots, pans measuring cups or mixing bowls. No cutting board for kitchen fridge was dirty and frosted over.
No extra bedding or pillows
Walls need cleaned and painted
Ac drips on to balcony tile making it very slick. Outdoor lights for balcony have water dripping from them on to balcony.
Christmas tree still up in main entrance in March.

Location and outdoor setting was great. We expected higher quality towels, wash rags, towels. No paper towels were provided.
We really liked the location and ocean view. Close to Akaka falls, volcanoes, zip line s. We didn't like that there is not enough towels, place not really clean, a/c was working too loud.
Iove the view. It was awesome to wake up and see the ixean from my balcony.

The house was a little dirty. Bugs kept coming through the ac unit. But other than that it was a good place to crash. We were gone most the day.

Garten und Ausblick war traumhaft. Die Ausstattung hat die grundlegenden Anforderungen erfüllt.
Der Standort ist super, da man von dort aus viele Ausflugsziele in relativ kurzer Zeit erreicht.

It was nice that we had the place to ourselves most of our time there and even when other guests showed up, we never really ever heard or saw them. The pillows were not the best but we just went to Walmart and bought a few that we left behind. Maybe the future addition of a pool would be nice since the property is away from a lot of things. Otber than that we really enjoyed our stay and the owner was very nice.
Gorgeous view from the lanai on second floor. It is private and quiet. Great for couples. Nice that it has air conditioning and a big comfy bed. But it only had two small pillows so we had to call for two more. We also had a little trouble finding the entrance after dark. There is a small sign on a rock wall about 14 miles west of Hilo on your right. Overall very very nice. Jade was very helpful.

Schöne villa mit ein paar zimmern (kein hotel)
Villa mit ein paar wenigen zimmern und einem wunderschönen garten. Eine Rezeption gibt es nicht. Wir haben am check-in tag per mail und sms einen code für die eingangstüre und das zimmer erhalten. Das hat tiptop funktioniert. Leider waren jedoch die tücher nicht sauber, teils nicht einmal trocken und in der dusche hatte es einige haare. Eine richtig gereinigte dusche würde anders aussehen. Wenn die villa die sauberkeit erhöht, könnten wir die unterkunft aufgrund des guten preises und der ruhigen lage mit gemütlichem und gut gepflegten garten für 1-2 nächte empfehlen. Für leute die kein gewöhnliches hotel suchen und einfach ein haus am meer geniessen wollen evtl. sogar länger. Bei unserem Aufenthalt war max. Ein anderes zimmer besetzt.
