We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The couple who own the VRBO were great people, and so accommodating. The property was great. We really could not ask for more, except we wished we could have stayed longer. Definitely would come back.
Bowmanâs guest house is a darling little house on a tranquil tucked away property. It is a delight for all the senses. Great place to unwind and enjoy the company youâre with. The beds are comfy and we loved juicing oranges each morning with our fresh eggs. We enjoyed exploring the Pahoa area and would definitely stay here again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kent and Marleneâs guest house, especially the big windows looking out on their beautiful property, the delicious fresh eggs and fruit, and the quiet and solitude. It is perfectly located for exploring the Hilo side of the island and the Volcanoes National Park.
An adorable guest house, well kept and cleaned, with full kitchen facility. Located in a nice farm - wish we'd spent more time to explore (came home late every evening). Friendly hosts. Highly recommended.
If youâre looking to kick back and relax, this is the place to stay. The guesthouse is just as pictured, situated in a beautifully landscaped setting. Youâll awaken to the clucking of the ownerâs hens which also provide you with fresh eggs upon request. Youâll go to sleep to the sweet sounds of the coqui. Lava beds, beaches and funky shops and restaurants are close by. We highly recommend this guesthouse.
The owners were very nice, quickly responded to our questions.
The place was extremely clean, and very quiet (other than the coqui ) which is great for me. Their songs help me sleep.
The listing and pictures are as described.
The kitchen was furnished with pots, pans, and utensils.
We cooked on the grill every night.
The house is about 10 minutes from Pahoa.
We'll definitely stay there again.
It began as a opportunity, but turned into a wonderful dream the property is such a green magical place. The blooming flowers rolling grass field and majestic palms. Fresh chicken eggs, the crocking of the frogs . It was hard to leave. Getting away from the busy life of the city and stepping back in time to a lovely peaceful place. This place will hold a special time for our family. Must visit. The hosts were so accommodating and helpful when needed.
On arrival at Bowman's Big Island Guest House there is an immediate sense of tranquility. You are welcomed by a peaceful farm environment surrounded by jungle. The guest house is cozy but well appointed and has everything you need. With a large fridge, induction cooktop and outdoor grill you can cook when you feel like it, or take a short drive to the nearby restaurants. We loved being able to feed the fish, wander the farm, have outdoor space for the kids to play, and relax as the sun set to the sounds of birds and coqui frogs. Kent and Melanie were amazing hosts and gave us excellent advice on how to maximize our vacation. The guest house is perfectly located if you want to see the volcano, see where lava flows meet the sea, or check out the farmer's markets between Pahoa and Hilo. We had an amazing and very relaxed vacation and would absolutely recommend this place for anyone considering a visit to Big Island!
Very nice, if spartan, guest house. It is exactly as described on VRBO. You're not getting the Ritz Carlton, but you're not paying for it either. The key thing about this place is that it is immaculately clean, and that goes a LONG ways for any place I stay. Kent was exceptionally prompt in replying to messages, and the directions were perfect to the place.
The highest compliment that I can give this property is that I would and will stay here again.
