Undvik det vanliga ~ besök Pele!

Relax & Föryngra i vårt bekväma, helt nya djungel reträtt. Detta är verkligen en "flykt från det vanliga!"

Detta område är frodig och grön och har det bästa vädret på ön. De rådande passadvindarna blåser från precis rätt riktning för att hålla temperaturen behaglig året runt. Tropical, frodiga och gröna med frisk ren luft (bokstav den renaste luften på jorden!) och en mängd fantastiska saker att se och göra.

Denna vackra hem är oklanderligt rent, vackert inredda och utformade för ultra bekväm off-grid levande. Beläget i Black Sands samhället, omgiven av djungel, coqui grodor sjunga dig att sova på natten och det är extra kul när vi får en intensiv regndusch på natten, eftersom taket är metall, och ljudet är awesomely djungeln!

Du hittar en gästbok på huset med detaljer och vägbeskrivning till spektakulära fläckar inom bara några miles från huset, inklusive "hemliga platser" som du inte hittar i varje turist bok.

Detta är den perfekta platsen för äventyr asylsökande och de som inte är beroende av tv för underhållning.
Så mycket, mycket trevligt att komma bort från allt!

På detta område som kallas Puna, vi är välsignade att ha så många bra saker att se och göra. Här hittar du orörda vatten och den renaste luften på jorden. Vårt hem är bara några minuter till stränder som Kehena, eller njuta av en fantastisk vandring längs Kungsleden till den vita sandstranden heter Shipmans. Koppla av i den naturliga geotermisk uppvärmda heta poolen, kallad drottningbadet samt surfing på Isaac Hale Beach Park, fiske vid Mackenzie Park, spelunking, lava visning, naturliga ångventilationer, fantastiska marknader och den pittoreska byn Pahoa med sin utomhusmarknad , pittoreska butiker, familjevänliga och fina restauranger.
Varje söndag, precis uppe på väg 130 hittar du den största, bästa och mest diversifierade bondens marknad i hela Hawaii-kedjan - Maku'u-marknaden, med allt du kan förvänta dig och mycket mer, inklusive levande musik och dans. Varje onsdag kväll, bara 2 miles away på farbror Robert hittar du en "måste göra" - en fantastisk kväll marknad komplett med lokala hantverkare, fantastiska lokala livsmedel leverantörer, Kava bar och levande musik och dans - du kan till och med kunna ta i en rockshow! Ät, drick och var glad! Sway till rytmen av autentiska Hawaiian slack nyckel och ukulele och njuta av känslan av gemenskap här.

Perfect Getaway
This quaint home is in the perfect location right between the little town of Pahoa and the beach areas near Kalapana and Kehena. It's nestled in the jungle, peaceful, quiet, private but near enough to neighbors to know we are always safe. This is my fourth stay here. I keep returning because it's so perfect for me, and at a great price. The home has everything we could possibly need for a very comfortable stay. We enjoy the open design layout along with nice Hawaiian decor. We will be back!

Great Little Off-Grid Hawaiian Bungalow!
A wonderful area in the rural Hawaii jungle yet pretty central to the shops in Pahoa and not far from the nightlife in Hilo!! Such an adorable off-grid Hawaiian cottage stocked with dishes & utensils for food prep. However, the stove/oven was broken upon arrival and not mentioned on the listing which impacted our ability to make food.

The location was just what we needed
This was our third stay at this cottage. I think it may have changed owners since our last stay in 2017 and it needs a little work. Two things the book said were there but were missing were a Bryta water filter and a French Press coffee maker. And a few things that should have been there are a fire extinguisher, first aid kit, can opener and maybe some games. We had some trouble with the stove. We couldn't get the oven to light at all and there were times when the burners on the stove would not turn off. A couple of times we had to really fiddle with the knobs to get the gas to turn off. That could be very dangerous. I was glad to see that the solar system is up and running, but there is still a problem with the hot water. We discovered the only way to take a shower is to turn on the water in the kitchen sink while you take a shower. Then the water pump will stay on. I know the book says not to take long showers to conserve water, but we had abundant rain while we were there. And you can take a shower while someone else washes dishes. We had the same problem in our cabins in Alaska and the solution was to get rid of the low flow shower head. We rented this cabin while we were working on our property in the neighborhood.

It was absolutely wonderful! We loved the charming decor, spacious rooms, and amenities. It was our anniversary and it was the perfect romantic spot with sunny days and rainy nights, nightly coqui frogs chorus, lush jungle privacy and close to beaches and town. Mahalo!

A True Hidden Gem
This little home is absolutely wonderful and is in the perfect location; right in between the quaint town of Pahoa and Kalapana. You will be sung to sleep by the sweet lullaby of coqui frogs every night 😌. The home itself has everything you could possibly need for a very comfortable stay: a fully stocked kitchen with a gas range stove, fridge/freezer, all kitchen utensils you could ever need to cook amazing meals, an island with tons of space to prepare food, a huge sink, a French Press and much more. There are three beds in total: one queen size bed in the main living area and a bunk bed (which my som LOVED) in the screened in lanai (which also has a full living room seating area) and they are SO comfortable! There is a full bathroom stocked with bath & hand towels, soap, cleaning supplies etc. The layout of the home is open concept and has such darling decor (kukui nut and seashell necklaces drape over picture frames and mirrors and there are some wonderful books to read as well). There is also a dining room table to be able to enjoy your meals or your morning cup of coffee ^_^ It was so easy to get in contact with the owner. She was very quick to answer any questions we had and made us feel so welcome. Everyone in this neighbourhood is so friendly and loves to chat. This home does not come with a tv but who needs tv when you have such beauty surrounding you and so many things to do?! Don’t worry, the internet is super fast, hehe. I HIGHLY recommend this place if you’re looking for the perfect, peaceful getaway.

Private and Unplugged
Charming getaway. Quiet and private. WiFi not great but it means you can “unplug” and relax with the silence. There’s a trick to working the hot water in the shower. I normally stay in resorts that come equipped with every amenity. This was an experience for sure. I would definitely recommend this unpretentious cottage. Mahalo nui!!!

Know What You are Getting Into!
This is a mixed review. If you have been reading the reviews, you can see that some of them are very good and some are poor, and now that we have stayed here, I can see that both are accurate. First, the pluses: a peaceful, "off the grid" stay in a beautiful, lush and un-touristy part of the Big Island. If you like "glamping," if you want to get away from the slick hotels and all that, this is great. If you like fresh limes growing in your front yard, the sound of coqui frogs at night, and friendly geckos sharing your space (often in the bed with you!), this is the place for you. The other HUGE plus was Matt, the property manager. if he had not been so responsive, we would not have been able to stay at this place at all. He visited at least 4-5 times, was late for work once because he stopped by to make sure all was well, came over late at night, brought a cistern of fresh water, and was beyond helpful. The fact that he NEEDED to come by so quickly and so often is part of the negative, which you will see below. The cons: When we arrived, there was no power. The water pump also runs on power, which meant there was no running water. This was because the solar-powered battery had run down in the week before we arrived, and when the charge in the battery gets too low, it trips (to save itself from overheating) and then completely stops being able to receive a charge from the solar panels. There was nothing at all about this in the instruction booklet that was provided by Sara, the owner. I called her to let her know there was no power and she said, "You know it's off the grid, right?" Yes, I knew it was off the grid, but it was supposed to have things like lights and running water, which it did not have. Sara was not on the island and told me to call Matt, which I had. Matt was amazing. He brought over a generator, which immediately got the lights and fans running. However, the water pump can only be run by the battery and NOT by a generator, and the generator can't charge the battery, which meant we had to hope for a sunny day the next day in order to get running water. In the meantime, Matt brought over large buckets of water so we could flush the toilet but there was no other running water in the house. Luckily the battery got charged enough to run the water pump by the next afternoon. The system had more problems in the following days, overloading and stalling and Matt had to come by three more times. Bottom line: don't expect perfection.

This property is misrepresented in the description and photo’s
If we could give this property a zero star or a negative we would. We informed the property owner that we would be staying for approximately one month and that during that time my mother and our two sons would visit for four days. Sara responded with “Great! They will have plenty of room and I don’t charge extra for additional guests.” As we were boarding our flight to Hawaii we received a text message indicating that the washer and dryer does not work and that we would have use a laundromat in town. As we entered the neighborhood where the shack was located we felt as if we were driving through a salvage yard. Plenty of unimproved properties and junk vehicles sitting alongside the road. As we pulled in the driveway the carport that is advertised as a garage was occupied by an old junky truck. Still trying to be positive we entered the property to find that it is actually a studio and not a one bedroom home. As you open the front door the bed is directly to your left and small table to your right. The room that she claims “acts” as a second bedroom is actually a screened in porch with a bunckbed and small sitting area. There is not one closet or dresser for your clothes. Our suite cases would have to be kept on the floor. In review of the property description we realized that the pictures are of the same areas only with the furniture rearranged including beds in different locations to give the appearance of something that it is not. After a long day of travel even taking a shower was a challenge as the water cycled from very hot to very cold. Again still trying to make it work we contacted the maintenance man about the washer and dryer as well as the WiFi and the house not actually being a one bedroom. He informed us that the washer and dryer are a problem and would likely not work during our stay. He did indicate he would try to fix the WiFi but said it is sketchy. When we mentioned the description he said he apologized and had been trying to get Sara to change it for some time. At this point we contacted VRBO. In their review they agreed that the property was misrepresented and moved us to another location. We have continued to try contacting the property owner beginning the day of our arrival. She will not take our calls and now will not respond to text. Worst of all she is not refunding ANY of our money that we paid her in advance and in good faith for our stay. She will likely respond to this with a myriad of excuses. Please beware!

Definitely off the grid, but just what we needed.
My wife and I are campers, so with that said, we were right at home with this rental. The house is a basically a studio with a bunk bed in the lanai. The bedroom dining room and kitchen are one room with a bathroom, and the lanai has some very nice patio furniture and a bunk bed for extra sleeping. Definitly worth the money we paid. If you are looking for quiet and peaceful this is it. This unit, like most has a catchment system for water, but a Berkey is available for filtering the water. Solar power only, so no TV please. Never had a problem with water or power. Visits to the Black sand beach and Uncle Robert's were memorable to say the least. Great restaurants are available in Pahoa, including Kaleo's, Pele's Kitchen, and the Black Rock Cafe. All on all, we had a great time and are looking forward to our next trip to Hawaii.

Did not meet expectations. Online description is not up to date.
My wife and I rented this home for a week when we traveled to Hawaii for our honeymoon. We were looking for something simple, but comfortable. This house grabbed our attention as it had great ratings, was affordable, and had everything we needed without the extra distractions. Washer, dryer, hot water, indoor plumbing, electricity, no TV, quiet, etc. We had all these things and it was amazing...for a day. After a day of hiking to remote beaches, browsing through markets and shops in Hilo, and a full day of adventures, we were looking forward to returning and taking a much needed shower. We returned to our quaint little home to find to our dismay, there was no power. No problem, candle light is romantic. However, the water ran off of an electric pump. No shower, no running tap water, no flushing toilet. This lasted for three and a half days as we and Matt, the truly amazing manager of the property, worked on the generator, the solar panels, and the battery system trying to restore power and running water to our home. 3 1/2 days of evenings by candle light, taking sponge baths and flushing the toilet with gallons of water we would fill on our adventures during the day. When we contacted Sara, the owner, the second day of having no power or water she stated, "It is part of off grid living, you'll just have to make the best of it", then proceeded to blame our situation on the one time use of the advertised washing machine (the dryer was out of commission with a broken belt). She stated, "all the updates to the advertisement are written in the welcome guide", which we were unable to find until the third day as it was buried under magazines and travel guides (It's an unmarked photo album if you are looking). When we attempted to speak with her about alternative options for in case power was not returned, she refused to speak on the subject and quickly ended the conversation. The power and water returned on day 5 of our trip, thanks to Matt's efforts, and we greatly enjoyed the rest of our stay in Pahoa. As we both grew up in rural eastern Oregon, we are accustomed to "off grid" living and did not have a great deal of trouble adjusting to make the most of our trip. Running the generator, ensuring safe drinking water, and trouble shooting the power system was not difficult. However, in the end, our experience at this house was not as advertised and was not what we believe that we paid for as part of our honeymoon.

Quiet retreat
We really enjoyed our week's stay in the house. It was super easy to access and had everything we needed. The lanai offered a space for reading and listening to the frogs and rain. Clean and great location. We also used the kitchen a lot which helped to save $$ on eating out all the time. It was a good distance from Volcano and Hilo too.

Really Peaceful 🌴
This is our second stay at this sweet home. This time we stayed for eight days and again were not disappointed. The house is adorable and well appointed. Excellent basics are there and doesn’t take much to make it your own for your visit. We love the kitchen! The back room is very nice with a great set of bunk beds if you have extra visitors with you. Honestly we never use the back as cute as it is.....and it IS really charming. We gravitate always no matter the time of day to the front porch . The propane fridge and hot water work well. Generators equally work perfect and honestly it was fun to have wifi this time even though it is a non essential for us. Love the area. We spend every day at Pohoiki swimming, sunning and make great use of the local restaurants in the evening. A small town with tons of options . Uncle Robert’s on Wednesday is SO much fun. This is a quiet pleasant neighbourhood.....great to fall asleep listening to the frogs. Sara is very good to do business with. Easily accessible. And to her credit and the gentleman she has in case of maintanence issues ...we have never needed. Says a lot. Thank you so much Sara!

enjoyable stay despite the time of year
This house was just what we wanted for our short stay. Everything worked well, even had internet, thanks to the owner having it installed the day before we arrived. The bed was extremely comfortable. Kitchen and dinning area works great for entertaining guests. Hot water works, just may take a couple minutes to heat up. One generator is enough to run the lights and internet, easy to operate. Definitely will want to stay here again on our next trip.

Excellent location for our purposes
This is our second stay at this lovely cottage and probably won't be the last. The area is very quiet but still close enough to activities to make it fun. Had a great night at Uncle Robert's. The music was fantastic. Can't wait until you get the solar installed so the generator won't need to be used just for lights.

OFF GRID
This property is just what is described in the description. Cold Fridge / freezer - stove and oven work great - the bed comfortable - Oil lanterns worked well - Shower worked good with a little patience - no problem with the generator the one time we used it to wash clothes - washer and dryer worked well. As stated in the property description there are No lights without starting the generator which they ask you not to do except for once a week to wash a load of clothes, no internet or tv but that is all stated in the description. It's a little bummer to look out the front and the electric poles are right there across the street but........... The house was cool and again the bed was comfortable (1st of March) for sleeping. My complaints were there was old food items in the drawers and spice racks (I mean really old / mildewed) and dog hair was plentiful especially in the back screened in sitting area socks were full every day. Bring matches to light the lanterns or fire up the stove and use a piece of paper. Also there is only one bed but there are blow up mattresses if you have a way to blow them up. Non of these were enough to complain to the manager of the property but it would be better if they were addressed. Overall a nice place for a single or a couple wanting to get away from it all .... literally.

My husband and I just returned home from a lovely getaway in this quaint,charming house in the jungle. The cottage is homey and well set up for travellers. I can't think of a thing we needed. There are two generators if you want power (ie lights on in the evening,) or if you want to do laundry (which we had no need) . You could easily never use the generators at all and not miss it. Hot water on demand worked good, the stove and fridge worked very well. There is a manager in the neighbourhood who showed my husband how to work everything on our first day there and was a quick phone call away when we had other minor questions. We made good use of the charcoal grill. The front porch is where we spent the majority of our time. Loved the front porch. So absolutely peaceful having coffee out there in the morning watching the sun come up....or having a glass of wine in the evenings listening to the frogs and playing cards. Pahoa is a vibrant little town. So many great places to eat and shops to poke around in. Issac Hale Park (Poihiki) is a short drive away and is a great place to swim and picnic. This area is so scenic and lush. A must see. Lava tours are extremely popular right now and just stunning to witness.I highly recommend this rental. I think everyone who visits Hawaii should see it from this perspective as well. Thank you Sara and Dusk. We had a great visit !

Nice off the grid cabin!
We enjoyed staying in this little jungle cabin. The frogs sing you to sleep every night, and the complete darkness make for a great sleep. Note that if more than two are staying here, the second bed is an air mattress. The generator worked great for the evenings and it was good to be without cell service so played cards and talked with our teens in the evenings. Very close to a great Wednesday night market, with great food and live bands. There is a binder with all kinds of attractions that are closer by. We did go to the west side of the island, about a two hour drive, to escape the rain sometimes (we understand that Dec. is the rainiest month).
