Welcoming hosts.

Decently located for access to various sites. The bungalow was comfortable enough, but felt tight for a family of 4 and needs some updates. There was barely any space for putting clothing away. And the kitchen lacks some essentials (serving bowls, for ex.), but also felt crowded. Erich and Susie were very nice and welcoming. They bought the place a year ago and perhaps are instituting some upgrades (the couch a previous user complained about has since been upgraded with a comfortably new sleeper). But more upgrades could be made (new porch furniture would be great).

Great Place. Great Location

This property was exactly what we were looking for. Great location: short walk to the ocean, 1 hour to the volcano, 1 hour to our Zipline. Great Place: hosts were very friendly and accommodating, free light breakfast in the morning on the deck overlooking the ocean. Very clean. We will stay here again!

Beautiful and Quiet

Thank you Erich and Susie for a beautiful weekend stay. We had a great time! The Jungle Cottage was perfect. It was set back on the property just enough for us to have privacy-peace and quiet- yet could still have fun-laughing, joking, being a little noisy. The continental breakfasts were perfectly delicious, and the pool was clean, refreshing, and fun! (We actually spent four hours just swimming). We wished we could have stayed longer and didn't want to leave; w will definitely come back. My one suggestion for you would be to include in your advertisement beautiful shots of the morning sunrises that your quests could view early in the morning (since you can't do sunsets) Thank you again for the great weekend, The Coconut Hat Holoholo Crew

Near Volcano Natl Park.

The outdoor deck, grounds and covered parking were very nice. It was more like camping than a comfortable stay however. The original couches and cushions from 30 years ago (or more) are still there with holes etc. Decor has not been updated in 30-40 years. We found more than five bugs (looked like roaches) scurrying on countertops. Ledges above doors never dusted and we found this out because my daughter locked bedroom door and could not get out for an hour! Drain in tub is very slow. Breakfast consisted of bagels, fruit and juice, no protein. Good coffee and nice water cooler for guest use. Owners are super friendly and communicative. but I was so uncomfortable sleeping on old mattresses and sitting on couches that I had to put a sheet over the couch, My flight was delayed and we were not able to stay the first night but $ not refunded. Nice people, but couch is not sleepable if you have another person.

Peaceful staycation

This B&B was an amazing find! I opted out of the breakfast part because we were staying in the ‘ohana house (that’s nestled in the back of the main house) and has its own kitchen. My kids were still doing online classes and the wifi held with no glitches! Erich and Suzy were great hosts! I would highly recommend!! They also have 2 other options if you’re not traveling with a family. MAHALO!
