About this house rental

It’s your time to visit the magnificent Big Island of Hawaii with its ocean, mountains, waterfalls, beaches, and endless activities. The Umauma Experience Makani Ea Home is your own piece of paradise waiting for you and your family! It’s a cute 2 bedroom with an office to meet all your needs. This property provides plenty of space for peace & quiet in the outdoors.

As you enter the home & start your tour of The Makani Ea Home. You’re probably in the living room. Look up & see the high ceilings, but be careful! The large soft couch & loveseat are reaching out to you, ready to provide your comfort and the large flat screen television & cable television service are ready to connect you to the world. Try to resist, you’re far from the real world. Let the breeze carry you back to the dining area and breakfast nook and finally to the well-equipped kitchen.

So, maybe you’re beginning to get a little hungry or maybe a little thirsty - no problem. The kitchen is ready & waiting to get to work! It’s ready for your next culinary experience. Whether it’s fresh-caught fish, locally grown exotic fruits & vegetables, Big Island raised beef, local favorites like lau lau, loco moco, sushi, saimin, your own creation, or carry-out, it’s all here for you to enjoy. Time for coffee? If you discovered your favorite Hawaiian brew, or if a quick Keurig will do, check the large pantry for several tools & ingredients that will help you create! There’s a barbecue grill & patio set outside, too!

Later, when you get a chance, check out the shared backyard orchard. It may have some fresh tree-ripened avocados & mangoes! Watch your head! There may be coconuts ready, too! The home’s own private courtyard (between the home & the garage) may even have some ripe bananas!

Maybe you’ve had a long day traveling & it’s time for the necessities. Float back toward the living area. The middle door is the entry to the study. With a desk and couch, it’s a place to take a moment and get lost in your favorite book, or learn about ancient Hawaii, or to get out your travel guide and plan your adventures… like nearby beaches, waterfalls, mountains, local markets, and even zip lines. WIFI is ready and waiting when you need it.

Toward the front of the home, the next door off of the living area is the front bedroom. Toward the back of the home and on your left is your master bedroom and master bathroom. Both bedrooms have queen-sized beds, so the home sleeps four. If necessary, the office has a sofa bed provides the option for a fifth person. Closets and dressers allow for plenty of space to store your clothes. Finally, you’ll find the main bathroom. Toiletries, towels, shampoo, lotion, and soap are provided. It’s way too soon to think about it now, but outside, there’s a set of stairs that will take you down to the laundry room with a washer and dryer.

Take a moment to step out the front door to the front lanai (porch) for another boost of cool air. Look down & see the giant Hapu’u Ferns (or Hawaiian Tree Ferns). You wonder how they could be ferns, they’re so big! Look around & realize that you are in The Country, away from it all & in the middle of paradise. There’s easy access to Highway 19, which is also known as Hawaii Belt Road, or Mamalahoa Highway, when you’re ready to explore.

You have just begun your true Hawaiian Escape: an experience that you will share for generations. If the winds must take you away, you can leave knowing The Makani Ea Home will be waiting for your return!

The house was clean. The location is quiet. Jolanta was great! She was responsive and handled all the issues that came up.

We loved our stay! We also would highly recommend staying anywhere Jolanta is a property manager. Our arrival instructions were clear and easy to follow, and she texted me to let me know we could arrive early. I really appreciated that, we only arrived one hour early, but it was a considerate gesture. The house was spotlessly clean, beds comfortable, and nicely decorated! We enjoyed seeing the stars at night, and heard night birds and frogs from the backyard! The house is reasonably close to Hilo, while being in a peaceful neighborhood north of town. We all slept so well in this house, hope to stay again!

My family and I visit the island on a regular basis and typically stay in another location. We are so happy to have found this place. From the start, Russ was awesome. He was very responsive before, during and then after our stay. His condo is absolutely amazing. We fell asleep each night to the sound of the waves crashing just outside our beautiful unobstructed wall of windows. It was a great place for our family of four! It had everything we could possibly need to make it a great stay. We will certainly be back again and look forward to our next stay here.
