    a quick stay

    We were only on the island for a night to visit Volcanoes NP and some of the south beaches, but our interaction with Neil both through the app and upon arrival was pleasant and informative. The place was nice, clean, and had everything you’d need when traveling. Follow his directions getting there. We appreciated the one night stay.

    Canceled

    Our stay was canceled the day we were to arrive. Neil had passed away. An astute neighbor emailed to let us know, thankfully. Then we were in scramble- mode looking for a replacement accommodation. We got no warning from VRBO.

    Perfect Getaway

    This property was everything we hoped it would be. Sitting outside, cooking outdoors with the fresh eggs Neil left us, and our groceries from the farmers market was amazing. The bed was comfortable and we slept great. If we ever find ourselves back on The Big Island we will be staying here again for sure.

    Perfect getaway

    We take our pups on a staycations around the island and feel very lucky that Neil allows for pets as not many places do. It was so perfect to chill in the outside area with the pups knowing they were safely fenced in and loving life. It’s a beautiful property, super clean and had all we could ever ask for. We can’t wait to return! Mahalo for your hospitality Neil!

    Magical

    This cottage was special. From the outdoor kitchen/living room to the comfy bed and the private outdoor toilet/shower. Experiencing off-grid living was awesome. Neil was a great host and explained everything to us and we had some great personal "talk story" sessions. One of the reasons for this short staycation was to look at properties and we are looking forward to hopefully being friends and neighbors with Neil. We definitely recommend his BnB.

    Rustic and comfy cabin

    Just stayed one night but the cabin was very comfortable and well-appointed, surrounded by well-tended grounds. Neil was the perfect host, gave us four fresh eggs and a bunch of tangerines from the trees just outside the cabin. There are coqui frogs so if these disturb you, bring noise-cancelling ear buds. Mahalo Neil!
