The home and property were spectacular. The photos, while amazing, cannot do justice to how beautiful the property truly is; it is like staying in a secluded botanic garden. The home itself is amazing as well; it was very clean, spacious, and very well stocked with everything we needed. Very much appreciated the grill and the amazing gas (propane) range for cooking meals. Michael was extremely helpful with everything; he was very courteous and very responsive. Very, very highly recommended place for anyone looking for a secluded retreat in a natural, verdant, and lush Hawaiian setting! ##### Matt H.

It’s an hour drive to VNP. Stunning property although I wasn’t sure how much of it I could roam on. There are other homes on the property and I didn’t want to trespass. The house we had was very private though. Very very rainy part of the island. I wanted to sit outside more but everything was so wet. Noisy coqui frogs at night but along with the rain I was lulled to sleep. Michael was great to work with. A unique experience but pretty far away from everything. It’s truly a one of a kind property! ##### Jolene W.

Everything was clean and as described and the garden was out of this world! The cherry on the cake was the ocean in the background - just wonderful! We loved the off-grid experience (without missing out on any of the essentials) and the communication with Michael was flawless. Dipping into the (for us intentionally not heated) tub after a long day exploring the island was just perfect. Love to be back some day! ##### Stefan B.

Meticulously maintained land that made this a true oasis. The home was thoughtfully designed and a true respite after a day of activities. I could have easily just stayed on the property the whole time. Michael was so nice and informative about the care that went into the development of the property. The flowers and the fruit trees heightened the stay, it was such an amazing experience! There truly isn’t a better place to stay on the Big Island. We all hated to leave. ##### Clarke E.

Property/setting is spectacular. Picked fresh oranges, tangerines, mandarins, avocados and limes every morning, and mangoes and papaya when ripe. Other fresh produce available when ripe. Michael (on site caretaker) is helpful and super friendly. Enjoyed the kitties. Location is a bit out of the way so must have a car. All in all, it was a great two weeks. With much gratitude. ##### Shayne R.

Great location to explore the tropical side of the Big Island. If you don’t mind the sound of nature to put you to sleep at night, then this is the perfect place. Completely eco-friendly with solar everything. Has water filter system for clean water to drink and cook with. Beds were comfortable with plenty of clean towels. On site washing machine/dryer for convenience. Stella, the cat, is a resident cat who’s super friendly and highlight for the kids. If you want to reconnect with nature, then this place is the perfect place. Make sure to bring bug-spray/repellent for the mosquitos. ##### Steve Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam M. 11 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A place of magic and unexpected beauty.

It is truly and island paradise like you’ve only seen in movies or in your dreams. The owner and caretaker have meticulously designed this home to be a living work of art. The botanical gardens are breathtaking and the home is full of a collection from all over the world (including a gong held by two soldiers begging to be rung as the sun rises over the ocean in the distance as you sip your morning coffee). We stayed for a short 2 nights while visiting Volcano National Park and wished we had stayed at least another night. Pahoa is just 10 minutes away with a number of places to grab breakfast or dinner alongside locals and off the beaten tourist path. You will not regret staying here. Thank you so much to David and Michael for sharing this special home and your work of art with others! ##### Ray B.

The pictures don't do it justice! We had an amazing 3-night stay with our family of 4 (2 teenagers- 13 and 16). Beautiful, relaxing house and property. Never once turned on the TV. Kitchen is well-stocked for cooking. No AC (of course), but plenty of fans for use in the bedrooms if you are a hot sleeper. I enjoyed listening to the frogs at night. The soaker tub (cold plunge/hot tub) was a nice perk.Great information provided in advance - and tips for things to do in the area. We explored the new black sand beach created after the 2018 eruption.Make sure to take time to ask for a tour of the property and try some of the edible fruits.Wish we could have stayed a week! ##### Andrea F.

We felt so lucky to be able to stay at such an incredible property. Check-in was easy. The groundskeeper, Michael, was there to greet us and answer any questions. The house itself is really unique and special. However- the garden that surrounds you is absolutely breathtaking. If you are thinking about it, do it! I would absolutely stay here again. ##### Sara R.

Mike was extremely helpful. I have never seen such a variety of plants, flowers, trees, etc. Everything was perfect. ##### Ed H.

Quiet, ocean view off in the distance, amazing sunrises. It's a massive garden. Big enough to have a run through for a few laps. With edibles and flowers, the design took vision and tons of work. The house itself is great. We had a few unlucky power issues, but the house manager was so responsive, polite and pleasant it didn't bother us much. We are already scheming to come back here. ##### Justin M.

The property is even more beautiful in person and the house was clean, modern and extremely comfortable for a family of five. Michael is a wonderful host and the care he and his team put into the place really shows. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone who is looking for peace and tranquility on their trip to the Big Island. ##### Robert C.
