Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Absolutely fantastic place! Exactly as pictured. The kitchenware was not clean and we had to wash everything prior to using it. That was the only negative of our two days there. If that could be addressed, we would certainly stay again. We live on maui and plan to continue spend our thanksgivings in volcano.

What a gem. My wife and I stayed at this cottage during a portion of our Hawaii vacation. It’s private, clean, has tasteful amenities + a great location for Volcanoes NP activities. Loved our stay, would absolutely visit again and would recommend it for any couple or solo traveler.

Great location right next to Volcanoes National Park. Cabin was very clean and a perfect romantic location for our anniversary trip

Staying at this rainforest cottage was an absolute dream! It felt totally private yet safe as you often see neighbors walking their dogs as you drive up to the property. The cottage had everything we needed, and we really appreciated having a laundry and iron board as we eloped during our stay and needed to fix our outfits the morning of. The contact that I was given was always responsive and friendly. I was prepared for loud noises at night because of the reviews, but honestly the croaking frogs were not a bother at all, and my husband is a light sleeper too. The sounds for us were very faint. We did not see any wild pigs but we did hear their movements under the house a few times, which made for a very exciting experience! The cottage was close to Volcano National Park so if you have that on your to-do list, this would be a great option. The bed was also quite comfy. Overall, everything was wonderful and we are so happy with our decision to stay here during our time on the Big Island. Mahalo!

quiet, scenic ,private ,tree fern,ohia,close to Volcano NP, modern convienencies,clean and well supplied

We loved everything about this secluded property; it had everything we needed to be comfortable. It was clean and cozy and quiet and the perfect spot to come back to after exploring Volcanoes National Park. We would book again in a heartbeat.

Great!

We loved everything about the cottage. It was spotless, stylish, cozy, absolutely perfecta

I used to live on the Kohala Coast of the Big Island so wanted to show my daughter around the island before she goes off to college. I was not familiar with the area where this home was located and, quite honestly, was a little nervous about it. We drove through Hilo making sure to get to the property before sunset. Turning into the neighborhood had us wondering where in the world we were. It felt like a movie set! Once on site, we were absolutely amazed. It was as if our brains couldn't grasp the beauty. I took videos and photos to the awe of our friends both on Hawai'i and the mainland. I hope I didn't sell it enough so that we won't be able to return again! The accommodations were comfy and clean. Curtains are not needed unless you want to sleep in. It is safe, secluded, and pitch dark at night. The coqui will sing you to sleep, as will the rain on the tin roof if you're lucky enough to be there when it rains. We, unfortunately, didn't hear or see any pigs or chickens, but I did get to see a flock of Kalij pheasants wandering through each morning. Definitely grocery shop and gas up in Hilo town, then come and relax. Volcano National Park is so close and makes an easy time of spending the day there without facing a long drive before and after. However, the place is so lovely that you may find yourself thinking that the volcanos are something you could postpone and see next time. We really hope this is still available in the future for a longer stay. Absolutely loved it!

This home literally felt like a rainforest adventure! The location is beautiful and the amenities are great! It’s very private and a great central location to volcano park. The only downsides are the loud sounds of the tree frogs at night (which is everywhere in this area) and some bugs (because you are in a forest), but it’s definitely the best possible rainforest adventure you could hope for!

So beautiful! We felt we had escaped deep into the jungle yet were so close to Volcano National Park & a ton of great hiking. Bring earplugs for the loud frogs, but so romantic to fall asleep to the sounds of the jungle.

Such a magical place and so peaceful. :)

Amazing exterior views, cozy interior, and super close to Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. Driveway and parking is a little tricky but the ambiance is worth it!

Worked amazingly for us, calm close to the park!

Clean, well-appointed, and surrounded by jungle, this place is perfect for couples who want to explore Volcano National Park and the Hilo side of Big Island. It is so quiet all you’ll hear are coqui frogs, birds, and the occasional grunting wild pig in the bushes. It’s a very special place.

We enjoyed the isolation of the property, along with the ambience of the cottage, especially the sounds of the rain dropping on the tin roof. We also were very pleased with the close proximity of the cottage to the Hawaiian Volcano National Park, Black Sand Beaches, Green Sand Beaches and the Southernmost Point in the USA, which were among our plans to visit during our short stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: How many "wow's" can one fit into a review? This cabin was incredible! You literally felt like you were in a rainforest every morning - because you will be! It's luscious green everywhere, with wildlife that walks right up to the back door. This was my husband's and I third and final spot during our honeymoon and the tranquility of this cabin was undeniable. We stopped into Hilo to do some light shopping on the second day and that was an enjoyable short drive. Along with the volcano park tour we took! Beautiful secluded stay!

This is been by far our favorite VRBO we have ever stayed at! It’s a beautiful cottage tucked in a rain forest. Our host was very communicative. Don’t hesitate to book this place! We were so sad to leave.

Perfect hideout near the National Park. The cottage was comfy and simply but well kitted out. (Bonus points for having a vegetable steamer.) We enjoyed the best hiking weather we’d ever had in the park. We visited during the full moon so cottage was illuminated in the dead of night (no window coverings). A very special place!

A true rainforest experience! The cabin was clean, cozy, and beautiful. The flora on the property was gorgeous and my husband was excited to see the pheasants on the property. Definitely a must stay!

This rainforest cottage is a true haven! Secluded and surrounded by lush rainforest foliage. The cottage is nicely decorated with a modern feel. The bathroom is huge and lovely with a beautiful shower. The electric fireplace was a welcome touch on the chillier rainy nights that we were there. The washer/dryer were so nice to have as well. As mentioned, the cottage is very secluded, so there are no window coverings. We would have liked them in the bathroom regardless. Also, hooks for towels and jackets would be very useful. Otherwise, a perfect getaway for a rainforest experience. We spent most of our time at the Volcano National Park which was only a 15 minute drive away. So much better to be at this cottage than driving from Hilo every day. There are several good restaurants in the small village of Volcano that is also only 10 minutes away. We were very impressed with the response from Jessica regarding an issue we had upon arrival. All was handled in a very timely and professional manner. Mahalo!

This amazing cottage is set back away from all the drama of life! Super sweet and super secluded! The place is perfect for a couple enjoying their time away fro it all! The inside is nicely done, comfty bed, and shower was amazing! I love this cottage and did not want to leave! I loved waking up to different birds singing a pretty tune! Saltwater Vacations is top notch! They were easy to get a hold of (forgot door code) and no problems at all! I give them 5 stars!! We kept the windows open to get fresh Hawaiian air! It got a little chilly at night but the cottage is fully equipped with extra blankets and a super cool wall heater! The cottage has everything you need for a great stay! The window facing west (I think) might need a window covering at the top of the day! We were able to block the sun enough for quick nap before exploring Kīlauea! But it was really not an issue! I love how secluded the place is and window coverings would ruin the atmosphere! We loved this place and would stay again in the future! If you love nature amd to be away from it all this is the place for you!!!

Very nice cottage in a good location within minutes of Volcano National Park and Volcano Village. The cabin was clean, well design and comfortable. It takes a short drive off of paved roads, but is nestled in the Forrest with no neighbors or noise in sight! Very reachable hosts. Great place overall.

The cottage offers everething what peace seekers want: plenty of space, pure nature, tranquility and a wellequipped house with a great bathroom and a super kitchen.

The cottage was perfect, as advertised. It was private and well equipped. Perfect location for spending time @ Volcano National Park. Loved hearing all the rain on the roof.

Just perfect… !

I spent 2 of my 4 on-island nights at this adorable studio home. It is so close to Volcanoes National Park, which was perfect for my daily explorations. The electric fireplace makes the evenings so cozy. I did not see the wild pigs mentioned in other reviews, but did hear some scuffling and thumping beneath the home on night 2. The coqui frogs took a bit of getting used to, but for me, it added to the Hawaiian charm and adventure. I appreciated having ample kitchen space for cooking breakfast and I was pleased to see condiments and a few other small items in the fridge. If you’re looking for touristy Hawai’i, this isn’t it… But if you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle, check out this home!

This place was so charming and beautiful. We would definitely stay again
