Great experience on the Volcano side of the island
Unique property right on the water with waves crashing in 24x7. Sunrise is worth waking up for. Kids had a blast and we got good use out of the pool and kitchen. We did a lot of activities within 2 hours of the house, highly recommend getting a tour guide for volcanoes national park to learn about all the unique details.

Nice, clean property, but no air conditioning. Lawn service showed up on the best weather day we had, which placed limitations on outdoor enjoyment most of the day. Was not sure why they were scheduled while we were renting.

Unique location
Property was as shown in pictures. It is a bit of a drive from amenities and the town of Hilo so just be prepared before heading to the house. It offers a private and quiet area to relax. The hot tub was great at the end of the day. Wonderful views of the ocean and neat volcanic shoreline.

Great Memories
A fabulous location and home which met our requirements. We enjoyed our stay so much that we would like to return to continue our experience. The photos are accurate and describe the house better than words. The garden is thoughtfully landscaped providing a variety of plants and seating areas to encourage thoughtful serenity. The house is well equipped, however I suggest that the filthy fan kept in the bedroom closet be replaced or cleaned. The TV did not function even when following the instructions provided but we simply used our streaming device so it was not a problem. The hot tub only had jets functioning for two seating areas which worked out as it was just the two of us. The location is very good - 18 minutes from Hilo; 25 minutes from Volcano. Restaurants and groceries are 15-20 minutes drive. Overall it is a quiet neighbourhood. However, be very aware that the empty lot adjacent to the property is used as access to the shoreline by some shady characters who live out of their vehicle. We observed these unpleasant individuals daily when the weather was fine. Fortunately the weather worked in our favour and the wind and surf were high so the vagrant did not appear for the last few days of our stay.

Great location, needs new management
We stayed for a week, we loved the location. The management and housekeeping were very rude. We asked for a couple of towels, since there were only 1 per person. Housekeepers came over and requested to come in the house so they could verify how many towels were there, they also made remarks of "sometimes people say there are 4 people when there are more". Our cousin lives in Maui and came over for a night for my son's 2nd birthday. The jacuzzi went out, and management didn't respond for 3 hours, when they did they were not helpful at all. With this location you need the pool and jacuzzi to be functional. A lady came to clean the pool, went to the side and smoke a cigarette right next to open windows. Having a baby, we were very upset about that. Very unprofessional management, housekeepers and pool cleaner. For the amount of money, they made us feel unwelcome. Unfortunately, we won't be back here.

Spectacular setting in East Hawaii
This is a stunning property on the lava cliffs near the town of Pahoa. The house is clean and spacious with a large comfortable kitchen/living/dining area overlooking spectacular ocean views. At night it was amazing to hear the crashing waves mixed with the chirps of the coqui frogs. It was easy to take nearby day trips to Hawaii volcanoes national park, Hilo, and South Puna. All our family agreed that this was one of our favorite rentals. We would love to stay here again.

Honeymoon Letdown
This house...is just OK. Ocean in the back is amazing. However, it's far off the beaten path w no cell service. This house has 3 lockboxes. There's a non-working lockbox on the back porch, 1 non-working by the garage and 1 on the back side of a pole by the front door that does work. We kept sending pics & videos asking if we were trying the right lockbox and they kept saying yes and we just weren't pulling hard enough to open it. Clearly they didn't know which lockbox was the right 1 or what it looked like. We were outside in the rain trying to get in the house for over 30 minutes trying to contact mgt w/ limited cell service. We were late to our dinner reservations b/c of this. There's no A/C in the home (not in the description), and not enough fans provided to cool it down. It's not in the safest feeling neighborhood, and there was a rowdy party across the street playing excessively loud rap music. We were very nervous being there alone as we didn't have any cell service to call for help if needed, and you have to sleep w all the windows open so as not to die from the heat. We were nervous all night that someone from the party might make their way to the house. We hid our belongings before heading to dinner b/c we were worried about the types of people wandering about. The hot tub was broken. A curtain was missing in front of the toilet by the front window in the master bedroom. We stayed 1 night and cut our losses and found another place to stay

A Great Place To Relax
The house was exactly as advertised-right on the ocean. Our evenings were spent having drinks and enjoying the scenery. The pool was great for our kids. Unfortunately the hot tub was not working at the time, which was a bummer, but normally it would be running. The rooms were nice. The house is a little ways from restaurants and grocery stores, so be sure to stock up on food before getting there. Nice walks from the house as well. Be sure to watch the sunrise at the end of the road if you're awake at that time.

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! The perfect get away to relax!
We stayed at this property for our honeymoon, it was absolutely perfect! Beautiful views from all over the home, pool is excellent, hot tub was great and the lava rock ocean views were incredible! We saw a family of turtles in the water every day that we were there! I recommend them to everyone! In addition to an amazing property, the customer service is even better! We had two issues (caused by us) and they were so helpful and very sweet even though we messed something up! :)

Beautiful house and yard with an amazing view
This house has the most beautiful view I’ve ever stayed at!! The yard, pool, and hot tub were wonderful! The house was perfect for our family of five. Had all the necessities needed for our stay. Our kids kept hiding out in the upstairs master bedroom because of the view and the ocean breezes! It was nice to get some laundry done and relax poolside after a few busy days of touristing. You won’t regret staying here-it really is paradise!

Beautiful house in stunning location!
We loved our stay! The house is well equipped, beds are comfortable, pool was a blast and the yard was beautifully landscaped. Plenty of space to swim, play football in the yard, swing on the hammock, have a cocktail on the porch, etc.. The best part of the house was the views and sound of crashing waves as we slept. Plenty of towels, linens, and blankets. They provide beach towels for the pool. A few notes- there is no air conditioning (as is common in Hilo due to high energy costs). So, when you first enter the house it will be stuffy. Open the windows and turn on the fans. It will air out in no time and we never felt hot after that first entrance. The road to the house is 4 miles down a slightly hilly road. It is no big deal to most people, but it did make our kids sick to their stomachs. This does not change my overall impression of the house nor location, but just something to be aware of. About 45 minutes to Volcano National Park, 15-20 minutes to the grocery store and 30-35 to downtown Hilo (airport and restaurants).

A wonderful Hawaiian oasis
We had the pleasure of spending a few nights in May in this beautiful property, and it was our most favorite lodging on the island! The views simply cannot be beat- the house is open, inviting, and well-stocked with all needed kitchen items, pool towels, etc. The outdoor pool and hot tub area simply cannot be beat- it is quiet, tranquil and the soothing sounds of the waves allow for maximum relaxation! Property manager Laura was extremely responsive with any requests! We could not recommend this property more highly!

Oceanfront paradise!
To say that this house is perfect doesn't do it justice! The house itself is magnificent: bright, beautifully decorated, and well stocked. Beds are comfortable. Everything was super clean. But the real star is the location. You walk into the house and see straight through to the waves crashing on the lava. It's breathtaking. The pool and hot tub are incredible. To sit in the hot tub at night listening to the ocean and watching the stars is heaven on earth. To walk out on the lava and watch the sunrise is magical. But if you don't feel like walking out on the lava just lie in bed and watch the sun come up. I will dream about the house until we return. Thank you so much!!!

Great Place to stay on the East Coast of the Big Island.
Our family of 5 loved everything about this house! It was spacious enough to spread out in, and has a wonderful yard, filled with many beautiful Hawaiian plants and trees, and lots of birds and gecko friends. We spent a very relaxing 5 nights here at the end of March, and enjoyed the pool and hot tub and wandering the cliffs out side the fence. My favorite memory will be sitting on the lanai outside the master bedroom with my coffee, watching the sea turtles swim in the waves. There always seemed to be a number of turtles playing around and keeping me fully entertained! The master bathroom has been renovated since the listing pictures were done, and we were surprised with an enormous, beautiful walk in shower. Our teenage daughter was thrilled, as she loves nothing more than a good spa like shower! The kitchen was well stocked with everything that we needed, and there was plenty of towels and beach towels. The laundry room was great, and I made good use of it, as we spent a lot of time snorkeling at various beaches nearby, and swimming in the pool. There was a great cooler and lots of beach supplies which we used for our excursions. Laura really has thought of everything, and was wonderful to communicate with. We fully recommend this wonderful house, and hope to be back again some day!

Amazing stay at Hale Mar
Our family had amazing stay. The home was impeccably clean, thoughtfully furnished and professionally appointed. No detail was spared. The groundd, pool, and hot tub were wonderful to enjoy the ocean views. It is a little further from Hilo than we had anticipated, but that was mostly due to the rush hour traffic. We will definitely stay again!

We had a great stay; very different from our beach stay on Oahu, but in a good way. The surrounding tropical foliage makes you feel like you are in a beachfront rainforest. The Indonesian vibe of the house is pleasing and very much complements the landscape. This is a great place to stay to visit Volcano National Park. The master bedroom is amazing. The sound of the ocean and the tree frogs lulled me to sleep each night. I have not slept that well in a very long time. The pool and hot tube are great amenities as there is no ocean access.
