Unique fantastic house
Loved the privacy of this rental...gated...very safe...beautiful property. House stocked with everything you might need. Will definitely rent again.
This was just the right amount of funky in this spot. It's a very unusual house in a quiet (except for the local wildlife) area. Layout is weird but workable. The kitchen had all the basics for cooking, tons of linens in the bath, "smart" TV (bring your logins). It's 2 miles from the main road, so stop by the grocery store first. And bonus friendly kitty from next door!
We really enjoyed the funky fun location and architecture. There was everything we needed in terms of kitchen supplies and linens. We were there in late August and there is no AC but lots of fans so It was pretty hot and humid. Just be prepared. We slept better when we threw the sheets in the dryer for a few minutes just before going to bed. The hot tub on the lanai is lovely! And the private jungle location is lots of fun!
Love, love, love this place! Upon entry, the place was even more whimsical than the listing leads one. There were producing fruit trees in the yard and the garden was so pleasurable to walk through. The king-sized beds were very comfortable and the breeze throughout the house left no need for A/C. The property manager was quick to answer any questions we had and was very attentive and nice. Even though the property seems remote there were stores within a 10-minute drive for last-minute dinner needs. We were graciously granted early check-in and late check-out. We stayed 5 days and it was not enough!! Can't wait to return and stay again. Mahalo nui to our hosts!!!
Private escape. We were concerned at first about no ac since we were here in June, but the breeze flowing thru was great. Even a little chilly at night. Beautiful grounds, great hot tub loved seating on the porch. Would highly recommend

It's a Dream Home
Excellent home for a Hawaiian vacation. It's in nature and the Manager is extraordinarily helpful.
100% recommended
Very accommodating host, kids enjoyed hammock, hot tub. Great location feels rural yet near everything. We learned so much about wildlife and visited volcano national park while staying at this property.
Such a funky and gorgeous place in an old water tank. Comfortable and well stocked, great hot tub. Love the AC. If you can figure out what light switch belongs to which light on your first night, you get a prize!
We had an amazing stay. The property is beautiful, the house was perfect for us.. we woke up to the sounds of birds and rain.. the sun peeking in through the 360 windows on the top floor, went to sleep to the sounds of nature..
Thom was amazing, had great insight on the island and it’s happenings. Super friendly and answered all our questions. A+++
We will be back for sure!
My family of 4 had a lovely experience staying at the Hawaiian Paradise Park. The moment you drive up you are transported into a lush paradise. The property is surrounded with thick tropical vegetation(including fruit trees) and great for your littles to run around. The manager, Thom, is easy to communicate with and offers great local suggestions during your stay. It's like having your very own concierge. If you are looking for a tropical paradise, away from the condos and close to Vocanoes NP and all the fun things in Hilo this place is great.

Tropical getaway
Mapquest got us to the house easily. The hosts helped us with everything we needed. We chose the house for the hot tub because my husband has chronic back pain and hot tub jets help him relax. The hot tub did not have jets that massaged. They just moved the water slightly and only lasted for 5 minutes. That made our stay very difficult for my husband. Also the layout of bathrooms to bedrooms was unusual. All in all we had a good time but not as great as we’d hoped for.
Such a peaceful stay...it rained everyday and the birds drove me crazy but that was what made it charming...had trouble finding it but thom came to find us and saved the day...everything u needed was here..it was not overall clean however the bedding was neat..plz clean under the mat in the bathtub..and pillows in the living room made it kinda funky smelling..the hottub was not able to be used we bought a test kit but didn't want to mess with it..overall we would come back..

Welcome to paradise
This property is all about natural beauty. There are frogs, geckos, snails, and cats. You're inevitably going to find some bugs inside the house, but nothing that'll bite you (didn't see any mosquitos). Be careful of the stairs at night, but the host has night lights around the house, so you should be ok. Other than that, this is a kid friendly place, they'll love exploring the property, which has one gate, but we still felt safe. My only gripes were that the cookware was questionable, it was a challenge to find a pan to use without a lot of scrapes on it, but this is not really the host's fault, as it's the past guests. Also, the electrical switches around the house need to be better labeled, you'll end of switching everything to see what is for what and still not know. The kitchen was stocked with essential spices and oils for cooking. The hot tub appeared to be functional, but we didn't use it.
This property is truly an oasis- if you are looking for an extremely quiet tranquil location to relax and use as a home base to explore the east side of the big island this is a great option. Thom the property manager is terrific and local and very knowledgeable about the area and had a lot of great suggestions! This place also had A/C which was great for cooling off after a hot day of hiking and exploring. The kitchen was well appointed with all you need to make your own meals which I will say is how we roll and there is no delivery in the area and most restaurants are in the towns about 10-15 minutes away. There is a beach about 5 minute drive away that’s very private- not a huge white sand but small black sand beach- also a very cool area to explore at end of street where the lava flow took over the landscape. We had a great stay for 5 days here and would definitely suggest it to anyone looking to get away!
Charming house, but we weren’t able to use the beautiful upstairs bedroom because there were multiple geckos hanging out in there and there was feces on the bed and floor. The owner said we could change the bedspread but I was afraid they would use the bathroom on me while I was sleeping. Also there were a lot of bugs. You would always expect to see a few on most Hawaii properties, but there were obvious gaps in doors and walls where they could easily get in.Also, the ceiling fans were filthy and we couldn’t use them. The owner did offer to come and clean them, but I just didn’t feel like dealing with it so we used a floor fan. We found ONE that was clean enough to use. The rest of the house was mostly clean. Although there was also feces on the kitchen floor. The adorable geckos do poop a lot.
This was such a fun place to stay! The location was perfect to access any of the Hilo side attractions with fairly short drives to any of them. I felt like I was staying in the middle of the rain forest. Yes, the frogs, birds, and rain on the roof were noticeable at night, but I loved listening to them and just threw my ear plugs in when I was ready to sleep. The house was stocked with anything you may forget (toiletries, shower stuff, kitchen essentials, beach gear) and there were plenty of towels and bedding for everyone. We picked oranges, mandarins, and lemons off the trees and they were better than anything you'd get at the grocery store! This property was build in the early '80's so don't expect everything to be perfect. It was clean and cute and the perfect place to relax after a long day of sight seeing. Thom, the property manager, was in touch with me the day before we arrived and gave wonderful recommendations for things to do and was always quick to respond if I had any questions.

Tried, but couldn't stay there
We were willing to overlook the lack of cleanliness of this site, given it's cute funky details. It was quite romantic! We overlooked that we couldn't get any TV (mostly for news/weather purposes, and the manager recommended WE resolve it with the cable company!). But we couldn't overlook the "DRIP, DRIP, DRIP" of the lack of drainage system on the home from the rain. The rain itself was lovely and soothing, but the drip all night made it unteneble. We left halfway through our pre-paid stay. We have asked for a refund, and have not had any response. Everywhere else we stayed on the island was great.

Overall, the property was okay. When we came up to the property, it was beautiful - tucked in a secluded jungle landscape. Check in was easy enough, directions were clear. Will say you can absolutely tell what numbers were used for the gate, because the two numbers used were a lot more dirty then any others, so I assumed they don't change the gate code often. Large area of greenery to park, which was nice to see.Then when we actually went into the house was where things started going not so great. We didn't feel like the house was up to par with the cleanliness and felt like it was cleaned possibly surface level, but lots of dust in areas we touched, bugs, webs, etc. Sheets for the beds seem clean on the inside, but there were a lot of bugs laying on top.Then the 2 bed 2 bathroom layout was awkward. To get to one of the rooms and bathroom, you have to go through the other bathroom. It seems like part of the house was built as an attachment and to get to the attachment roombathroom, you need to pass through the main bathroom. Most of the lights but 1 in the living room did not work, so that room was unused. The biggest problem we dealt with were the bugs, which is common in Hawaii and being in a very tropical rainy location of the island, but it was excessive. Seen multiple lg/sm cockroaches a day, geckos everywhere and so was there poop, multiple other bugs just all the time. The house was not sealed well at all, gaps in doors and windows. We found the stay okay
