Overall it was a nice stay. The pictures are a little deceiving as the neighbors are VERY close and the property has a lot of big windows. The pictures make it seem more private than it actually is. The late checkout was much appreciated and I’m sure the hot tub was nice, we didn’t actually end up using it
This house was really well kept, with plenty of space and the hot tub was great after a day spent exploring volcanoes national park and the nearby towns.
The Zuki house was a beautiful place for us to stay. Very clean, easy drive to our destinations, and a beautiful scenery to relax. Thank you Zuki house for
making us feel at home
Aloha! We had a wonderful time back on the islands. What a beautiful quiet place for our family to reunite. Plenty of room, all amenities, very clean and really nice neighbors. We will be back to stay here again.
Manager was very accommodating. Place was clean. Great little yard. Loved the fact that could take 2 min walk in the morning to watch the sun rise off the water.
The property manager responded to my text very expediently and helped work out my concern. House was very clean, as was the jacuzzi. Also appreciated not having to deal with any keys-made check-in and check-out so much easier
Pahoa is very family area and away form the rest. Zulu house is lovely and super clean. Property manager super helpful. Short walk tot he shore.you can see the ocean form the house itself. My only is there are limited foo options and you have to drive 15-20 min. Hilo has good options but that would be 30 min plus drive
Nice house and accurate description; about 30 minutes from Hilo, hour from volcanoes
Pahoa is a nice place and quiet.

Reviewer Comments:
The house is just fantastic. It’s a bit isolated about 15 min drive from Pāhoa.
The home provided more than enough room for 3 friends and would be comfortable for a family with kids, too.
A couple parks are well intermingled in the neighborhood which is quiet and a good location to walk, stargaze, and sleep well.
Hilo is accessible but not too close, the Sunday Maku'u Market is a must, and the proximity to the ocean provided a relaxing vibe.
Such a beautiful house. All amenities we needed and more. Property manager and owner were both very responsive when we had a little hiccup with the hot tub — it was fixed and running within 20 minutes after we reached out. It was warm upstairs (January) in the evenings but stayed comfortable with the portable AC. Would love to stay again.

We enjoyed staying for a few days, close to the ocean, quiet and relaxing.The house was great, clean and well equipped. It got pretty hot inside as the a/c is minimal, but good for sea breezes flowing through the house. Recommended,
We absolutely loved the place! Great quite location! Close to a beautiful beach cliff park, perfect for morning coffee sunrises. We took every opportunity to enjoy the backyard hot tub soaks several times a day! The upper loft can get a bit warm from the afternoon sun, but the comfort of the bed makes it worth it! That loft bed is amazing! The setup was perfect for our pleasure and four adults. The kitchen is shy of a few sets of glasses/cups for everyday use, but we made it work with a few red cups! We will definitely be booking for another stay!
This house was roomy and a wonderful stay for my entire family. We traveled here with a family of 6 and everyone was super happy! The king sized bed is wonderful and the hot tub was a nice treat at the end of long days seeing the island! The kitchen had all you need to cook, and although we did not use the grill, it was there as a nice option on a beautiful lanai. Breakfasts were great as there is a nice big table for us to all sit together with a breakfast bar as well-
You can walk out to the ocean within 30 seconds and the sunrise off the cliffs were picturesque and real pretty. Seeing the ocean right out of the master bedroom was nice for my wife and I! Really enjoyed our stay. Mahalo!

We adored the Zuki House in Pahoa on the Big Island! The modern design is so refreshing, just like the photos. The covered lanai is the perfect place to hang out after a soak in the hot tub. Our family of 4 felt totally at home in the quiet neighborhood. There are flowering trees and plants everywhere and the ocean park is less than a block away! It is Paradise! Thank you, we really hope to come again.
We had a lovely stay at Zuki House on the Hilo side of the Big Island. This was our first trip to Hawaii, and it was a wonderful choice for meeting up with friends from Europe. The accommodations were comfortable, well-appointed, and provided everything we needed for a relaxing and memorable visit.
The sunrises from the property were stunning, and the sounds of frogs, rain, and waves crashing added a magical touch to the experience. It was such a peaceful way to start and end each day. The property was clean, and the management team was helpful and responsive whenever we had questions.
Zuki House made a fantastic base for exploring the Hilo side of the island, and we’re leaving with so many wonderful memories. Thank you for hosting us and making our first trip to Hawaii so enjoyable!

Terrific place to stay. The owner lives next door and is very helpful. The living area was very enjoyable. I enjoyed reading on the back porch in the warm Hawaiian breeze. Perfect! The only drawback was the first floor bedroom did not have a queen size bed as noted. The master bedroom in the loft is great, but there is little privacy from the people downstairs. This is better for one couple or a small family.
