Very nice secluded stay. Even though it now has AC, we didn't need to use it, just open the windows and use the provided fans and the house is very comfortable. The coqui frogs definitely let their presence be known but that is pretty much everywhere on the big island. Did enjoy a couple of restaurants that Deb recommended (Merriman's in Wimea and Jacky Rey's in Hilo. Overall it was an excellent place and wouldn't hesitate to book again if our travels bring us back to the Hilo area again.

The house and the property were great. It was very well stocked and clean. The host was exceptionally responsive and helpful. We would rate it a 4.5 if that option was available. The only thing keeping it from a full 5 is the lack of A/C.

Beautiful Secluded Property

This property is gorgeous! Every step around it is a view of a different flower, plant or fruit tree. We love the lushness of this side of the island. We stayed 4 nights of our honeymoon here. The house was perfect for us. Very relaxing! Clean, comfortable and private.

A real getaway!

If you want a real retreat from your normal day to day, the Jungalow may be just the place for you. A roomy, well stocked bungalow - perfect for two. Surrounded by tropical jungle - complete with nature's symphony as 'background music' - this is an ideal getaway spot. We loved our time in this unique location and will not soon forget our experience there!

The house was attractive, comfortable, spacious, with everything we needed. A peaceful country neighborhood. Especially loved the large yard, and every day discovering some new exotic fruit, foliage or flower on the edge of the “jungle”.

Relaxation Paradise

We loved the house. It was clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the frogs at night. The location was quiet except for the frogs. There were several good restaurants close by and in Hilo. Oh, the bed was great. Comimg from Colorado, I enjoyed all the plants and trees around the house.

I absolutely loved my stay here and am looking at a return trip! The house is extremely well stocked. It is quiet, secluded, grounds are beautiful! I enjoyed picking avacados right on the property. It is gated and safe. Bed is comfortable. It does get warm in August and no a/c which is common here. There are fans available. The nights cool off well. Host was available and responsive. I give the overall rating a 5 and look forward to a return stay! Mahalo

Another week in Paradise's Jungalow

This is our second stay in this unique Jungalow on a beautiful piece of property.... it felt like "coming home" as we drove down the winding driveway. The home has incredible views of its own "rain forested jungle" with fruit trees, orchids, birds etc. I love cooking in their fully stocked kitchen and then leisurely reading on the lovely lanai. We spent each morning at The Cliffs for walks at dawn - just a few minutes away. Sightseeing in Hilo and the surrounding area is only 20 minutes away. We can't wait to return!

Perfect Hilo-side Homebase

We loved the Jungalow! The place was clean, well-stocked with necessities, and the location was perfect (for us). I didn’t need a single thing from the host but I did ask a few questions and she was responsive. Deb has great recommendations for restaurants in nearby Pahoa which we frequented. The house cooled down really nicely at night with the windows open and fan going. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to friends. Thanks for a great stay!

Jungalow in Paradise

This house is simply perfect. Sit on the lanai and soak in the songs of nature, frogs serenading in the evening, birds chirping in the mornings, waves roaring against the cliffs in the distance. A great way to start and finish your days here. The house is great, perfect place to reset and reconnect, super clean, well equipped, everything you need and nothing you don't. Pahoa and Keaau are close, Hilo within 30 minutes. Thanks for a lovely trip, can't wait to return to the Jungalow in the near future.

Beautiful place near Hilo

the place itself is gorgeous, private, peaceful, but a drive to pretty much anywhere and not much to do in that hood. The description should probably be updated, as some of the places described are no longer accessible. Having had a b and b myself, I would never think to ask guests to wash the linens, and we did not, as we left at daylight and did not want the clothes to sit in the washer for any length of time. One suggestion, fix the front gate. But one of the prettiest spots in Hilo.

Sleep to sound of coqui

Most memorable is falling asleep listening to the coqui frogs at night and rain in the morning. The sound of the coqui frogs wete so relaxing that i had to record it. Location is tucked away from the road and landscaped beautifully. Centrally located between the hamakua coast and vnp. Our host and property manager were very responsive. As the host suggested, when arriving for the first time, it is best to do so in daylight. We arrived late and needed additional directions and help with the lockbox, which was hard to open. We did bring a flashlight, as it was very dark. We had all the amenities we needed and really appreciated the cooler for beverages and lunch while sight seeing. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful

We’ve been to Hawaii many times and have stayed at many vacation rentals / airbnbs and I can say without a doubt the Jungalow was the nicest place we’ve stayed at so far. Check in was easy enough… we appreciated the extra security of the locked gate at the top of the driveway. The rental was secluded, serene and surrounded by beautiful tropical fruit, palm and avocado trees, which we took advantage of every morning to add some fresh local fruit to our breakfasts. I took a walk around the neighborhood and saw some other obvious vacation rentals, which weren’t nearly as private or as lush as the Jungalow. There was a big rain storm for the first couple of days but we were content to sit on the big lanai, watch geckos, listen to thunder and enjoy our peaceful time at our perfectly appointed home away from home. When the weather improved, it was just a short drive to nearby food, beaches etc. All in all it was a great rental and we would absolutely stay there again.
