Great house to stay in for some relaxation on the east side of the island. Location was 30-35 minutes from Hilo, but no problems navigating all around the east side. And there were some wonderful restaurants nearby!
We stayed here for 3 nights and this was the second time we stayed here. The house is amazing and allows visitors to live more like a local than a tourist. The beds are comfortable and the amenities exceptional. The grill was great to cook on and the lanai super relaxing. I didn't think it would be even better the second time but it was!
Roberts property was exactly what we were looking for. Everything went extremely smooth. From the self check-in process, the helpful information available throughout the home, to the easy peasy check out process. Robert was not over bearing, he sent us one message welcoming us and offering assistance should we need it which I thought was great! I highly recommend Roberts property and I would definitely stay here again.Mahalo Nui, The Laikupu ohana
We absolutely loved Robert and Linaâs place. Comfortable in size, well equipped kitchen, a fantastic back deck and a location convenient to the southern part of the island. Would definitely stay again!
This is a very unique experience we all had. Chirping birds, abundant greenscape, large windows with good cross ventilation, thoughtful amenities throughout. 7 min walk to the ocean. 10 min drive to shopping area. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We stayed 5 nights, the home was lovely, had everything we needed plus more. Great communication with the owner. Good location for exploring the whole island. Thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the verandah enjoying the breeze, view and sounds around us.
We came to explore the island trails (hiking and snorkeling) and did much driving (1 to 2.5 hours each way a day) and hiking so our time at the rental was limited to sleeping and eating, showering, doing laundry (a fantastic outdoor sink to clean gear) and using the WiFi (great signal). Everything worked well for our needs. We appreciated the ownerâs response time to one of our requests and their generosity in supplying masks, snorkels, chairs etc for our water time explorations. Watching the volcano erupt at Volcano National Park was a highlight of our trip. Many thanks to the owners for sharing their home with us.
This property is exactly as advertised. It is a little of the beaten path but sitting on the lanai is very relaxing. We made steaks on the grill and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The house was the perfect size. Definitely needs some updating.... from beds to fridge. No A/C was rough. Yard was beautiful with lots of wilderness and wildlife around to view.
This home was a home away from home! Super comfortable, easy access, less than 2 minutes away from a nice sea cliff you can take photos at. Really enjoyed staying here, the owner was very easy to contact if we needed anything and responded very quickly too. 100/100 will definitely be traveling here again in the future.
Me and my family enjoy to stay at this house, its big and plenty room to accommodate for 5 of us and have 2 bathroom , is clean and the bed is nice and comfy for us also the dining kitchen area it's nice
Nice view and the backyard and finally my kids so excited when we see the pigs family..
Good communication with Robert while i have a question to him
Definitely be back if i stay at Hilo area..

We had a relaxing time away from crowds of thousands purists at this home. There is a nice shopping area a few miles away and Hilo is a 30 minute drive with the big city feel. This home was situated between the volcanoes and the waterfalls with some nice swimming places in Hilo. Lovely out of the touristy way, vacation. Feel like an islander.
A convenient location for our stay on the Big Island, the new shopping area was excellent for groceries if we decided to cook at the house and the location to Volcano National Park was awesome. The house was well stocked with everything that we needed and the communication from the owner was second to none as he checked in almost daily to make sure that we were satisfied with everything. We would stay again if we ever visit Hawaii's Big Island. Thank you!
This house was clean and roomy as described. Overall nice place to stay with a great back porch. There was only 1 window unit in the house, so it did get a little bit warm.
This property is located for visitors to see the real Hawaii. The park at the ocean is breathtaking. The tropical backyard with beautiful plants and palm trees was a relaxing setting. There was plenty of wildlife to add wonder to our stay. The kitchen is well equipped and the use of snorkels was amazing! The grocery store and plaza just 5 miles away is lovely.
We enjoyed a wonderful stay...particularly the rear deck where we had our meals and utilized the provided gas grill as well as enjoyng our morning coffee surrounded by wildlife. The property is an older one and has many pluses and amenites, however, it could benefit from some updating.
It is well located, easy to explore Pahoa from this base. Thank you for sharing your home .
Robert was very responsive and helped immediately when needed.
The house is a bit outdated but comfy and spacious.
Nice and spacious wooden deck with BBQ.
Lots of wildlife and a beautiful tropical backyard.
All amenities.
I would recommend staying at Robert & Lina's.
It was a great place to stay and the owner was very easy to get ahold of and accommodating when we needed to extend our stay. The address on the listing was off by 1 number so we did wind up at the wrong house (just down the street) at first but we figured it out. Just one thing to be fixed. Highly recommend!
You feel like you're in a tropical retreat with a lot of mana while having the convenience of being close to the ocean as well as old Pahoa town and shops. Ideal for a get away to just relax outside in our large lanai or go sight seeing at the Volcano and other tourist spots.
