Private guest house on gorgeous 3 acre Hawaiian estate perfect central location.

Rare opportunity to enjoy a gorgeously landscaped private 3 acre Hawaiian estate experience. Located on the Big Island of Hawaii, this detached studio guest house is fully furnished, very private, with vaulted ceilings on a beautifully landscaped 3 acre privately enclosed fully-fenced property. Property has a gated entrance with private gate code, grounds security system, over 80 fruit trees and 2 Koi fish ponds. Studio sleeps up to 5 (one queen-size bed, one full-size futon sofa bed, and matching twin-size futon chair), has 1 bathroom with shower, and kitchen with refrigerator, convection oven, stovetop burners (3), coffee maker, blender, and all necessary kitchen cooking/eating utensils. Rental also includes a dual washer/dryer unit, clothes drying rack, armoire for hanging clothes, outdoor BBQ, outdoor patio seating and eating table for 4, fiber optic high-speed internet, smart TV, 2 yoga mats, umbrellas and other essentials. Outdoor storage shed has 4 beach chairs, 3 beach umbrellas, 5 coolers of different sizes, 3 boogie boards, multiple sets of snorkel gear including child sizes, 4 flotation noodles, beach toys, volleyball, soccer ball, tennis set/balls, beach paddle set, and badminton set that can be used by guests of the rental. Studio has a private entrance, parking spot for 2 vehicles, and 180 degree views of the 3 acre property and Koi fish pond from the patio. Pond area which can be used by guests, has 4 lawn chairs, bistro table for 2 with umbrella, and 2 lounge chairs with umbrella. Hosts provide fresh flowers arrangements, fresh organic eggs, and an assortment of tropical fruit when available. This guest house is conveniently located 15 minutes south of Hilo and 10 minutes between the small towns of Keaau and Pahoa. There is also a grocery store and farmer’s market within 5 minutes of the rental. This is the perfect central location for all activities on the east side of the Big Island of Hawaii, including sites such as Volcanoes National Park, magnificent waterfalls, downtown Hilo, and the famous black sand and green sand beaches. If you’re looking for a perfectly central base to explore all of the Big Island’s East Side attractions—while enjoying a spacious, rare private tropical retreat to relax and unwind—this is the ideal vacation getaway for you!

Jennifer and Jeff are wonderful hosts and have created a very sweet spot to stay on the Big Island. While it's removed from the hustle and bustle of Hilo, it is an easy drive if you want to visit that area. It's also fairly close to the Volcanic National Park - so it's a good in between place to stay. They were super helpful getting us settled and truly provide everything you could need (except AC so be prepared but they do have fans). Really beautiful gardens and cozy Hawaiian decor to help you feel right at home. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the lanai and listening to the birds and Coqui frogs. I highly recommend staying here and would love to stay with them again.

Jennifer and Jeff, the hosts of this property are very welcoming. The accomodation is a quaint little cottage at the back of their home that is equipped with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The fruit trees, garden and surrounds are so well care of and we found it very calming and refreshing. I hope we can return one day to stay here again to experience this magical island!

Just a fantastic little spot to get away to. Jennifer and Jeff are very welcoming and have made a truly exceptional oasis here. It’s out of the way enough that you don’t see or hear any of the city stuff, but within striking distance of everything you wanna see on this side of the island. Hope to come back some day soon!

We absolutely loved our stay at this exceptional property! If you love a tropical landscape, chirping frogs at night and a wake-up call from birds/chickens in the morning, and a quiet space to relax and replenish after a day of adventure this is the place to stay! The guest house is beautifully appointed and Jeff and Jennifer are fabulous hosts that put in extra effort to provide special little touches to your stay. I’m going to miss the smell of the flowers in the guest house and all the peaceful sights/sounds that abound here! Exquisite!
Loved the chickens and roosters!

Beautiful Guest House

This guest house was all we had hoped it would be from the photos - nice interior decor with a lovely lanai (porch), surrounded by green beauty. Amenities were all there with some nice extra touches, hosts were friendly and helpful. We left refreshed after our two nights and would love to visit again.
