Reviewer Comments: This home was lovely. It was clean, well-stocked, and thoughtfully laid out with furniture, amenities, and technology. The rental company communicated well, and we loved the hot tub, outdoor shower, and trails in the backyard. There is no air conditioning and we happened to be there during a few very warm days in August. While the evenings cooled down nicely, even with windows open and fans blowing, the temperature inside was warm well into the night, since there is no cross ventilation at the house. It was a small inconvenience among everything else being near perfect at the house. ##### Krupa S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 4 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Unique Vacation stay- in a great way!

Built on lava rock and surrounded by lush vegetation made you feel like you were deep in the jungle. The house was amazing with more creatures of comfort than you could use! The hot tub and massage chair were awesome. A favorite time was spent relaxing and enjoying the view through the floor to ceiling windows. The best VRBO we’ve stayed in. Mahala! ##### Pam M.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved staying here. This place is equipped with everything you could possibly need. It’s beautiful inside and out. The tropical rain forest backyard is so beautiful to look at and the private path through it was a wonderful walk every morning. We had a contact person to go to if we needed anything, otherwise it was total privacy. 45 minute drive to our favorite, Volcano national park. We loved the property so much we are going back to the big island again just to enjoy this little slice of paradise! ##### Catherine M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jerry and Jenifer A. 15 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful house, terrific host We enjoyed every day we spent at Lava Rock Retreat.

Hard to put into words how lovely and peaceful this place is. Great access to everything but you kinda just want to hang out here ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff K. 14 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing getaway We had a fantastic stay at the Lava Rock Retreat. The house was exactly what we expected and was a nice relaxing getaway after the hustle and bustle of Honolulu. The backyard and grounds were peaceful and we loved enjoying our morning coffee on the lanai. Thank you for sharing your amazing home with us. ##### Jeff K. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philip 11 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The jungle noises at night were so loud we had to use subtitles on the TV if we wanted to watch a show, as we didn't want to close the screened glass doors and miss out on the outdoor vibe. It was a great experience, and totally different from a resort (which we did the previous several days). We stay here again. ##### Philip Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### James T. 1 Jan 2024 #### Perfect retreat Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful.

Reviewer Comments: This place has everything you need and then some. Perfect place to stay and explore Hawaii or just stay in the renal all day and relax ##### James T. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas M. 1 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best trip ever The lava retreat was the best place we have ever stayed! The host have thought of absolutely everything one could ever need. Going inside the house you see the back area which is not to disappoint and even better the more you explore! Comfortable beds, rooms, great sitting areas, stocked kitchen! Just 6 minutes to Hilo but feels a world away.. score 20/10 and we will absolutely return ##### Thomas M. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynn C. 30 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing home and property The home and property are beautiful! We thoroughly enjoyed walking through the spectacular garden and viewing it from inside through the large floor to ceiling glass sliding doors. The outdoor showers are great and we enjoyed the hot tub one rainy afternoon. The house itself is lovely, nicely decorated, very well organized and comfortable. The kitchen is superbly stocked and we enjoyed cooking some wonderful meals there. The location was perfect, close enough to Hilo but in a quiet, private neighborhood. The property manager and owners were very responsive. Highly recommend this property! ##### Lynn C.
