| We had such a lovely time! The house was perfect for relaxing, cooking, lounging, playing games, and all hanging out together. The pool and spa were a blast, we were swimming all day! The grounds and house are very well taken care of, the beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was well-equipped, the living area is spacious, there were plenty of towels, lots of fun pool toys, and the interior was beautiful. Such a great place to stay! I wish we could have stayed longer. |

| I wanted to escape the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, so I again booked the Beach Road Home knowing that I would be arriving at a beautiful house at the end of a pine tree-lined road and walking out onto a deck with a spectacular view of sky and sea. I remembered that unique feeling of peace and joy when I arrived. Once again I was struck by the beauty of the natural all-wood home and its captivating spaciousness, and the many large windows and lanais, giving you full access to the sky-swept sea right outside the front door. With waves crashing, and dolphins and whales (if you’re lucky) playing yards off the front-yard cliffs, you can have an ocean adventure without leaving the luxury of the jacuzzi or the freshness of the pool. This vacation spot is truly like having your own personal spa experience. I spent my days and nights between preparing healthy and appetizing meals, walking along the beautiful black volcanic cliffs by the Hawaiian pine forest, and relaxing on the lanai. I alternated between the healing waters of the jacuzzi and the refreshing coolness of the blue-tiled pool, all the while dreaming lazily out at the vast and wild and beautiful, brilliant blue sea. Can you hear the waves crashing, see the whales, dolphins, and sea birds flying and feel the warm Hawaiian breeze all combining to bring you the peace and joy of deep relaxation and pure fun? Whether your intention is peace and relaxation, as mine was, or fun and excitement, as mine turned into, you will be glad you choose this spot for your vacation! |

| Our family has enjoyed extended stays at “Jack’s House” for four consecutive years. We always enjoy this comfortable, well-equipped house located on a wonderfully picturesque lava beach with a wide expanse of the Pacific Ocean offered for viewing. We’ve experienced “it all”—sunny days, windy days, rainy days, rainbows, high surf, calm ocean waters; it doesn’t matter as it’s all GREAT! The house is large enough on two levels to provide “spaces” to tuck away with a good read on days that keep you inside—all with views of the ocean. On days that are welcoming, there is no place better to relax than the large deck providing deck seating and lounging along with a hot tub and pool. We always enjoy revisiting the artistic touches to this house with its warm wood interior and Hawaiiana furnishings. Humpback whale sightings are frequent during our winter stays and we’ve heard whales “blowing” as they come quite close to the house at times. The general location is what we look for: hidden away, but close to Big Island tourist attractions and general shopping—especially the Puna attractions and laid-back ambiance. As an added note, an elderly mother finds this house very suitable to her needs as she has access to everything the house offers on the ground level; she misses out on nothing! In a nutshell, it’s a great place to be on the Big Island. You’ll call it “our house” just as we do! |

| Aloha, I have been a guest in this lovely oceanfront home. Beautiful wooden floors, stained glass windows, comfy beds with crisp linens, always immaculate. Love the kitchen and the amenities provided. The sound of the ocean with the hot tub and a splendid view of the coastline, made all of my visits relaxing and pleasurable. I will indeed return. Mahalo to the host and hostess! Nancy Seifers |

| barbara and Jack, your house was the perfect place to be. Float in the pool and stargaze. We loved the area for the solitude yet access to fun things to do. Loved it so much we sent our daughter there on her honeymoon. Thank you for the perfect spot to relax. JW |

| Great place to stay on the Big Island of Hawaii. Beautiful house on the ocean's edge. Beautiful wood floors and furnishings. We have rented it twice for our kids and grand kids. They loved it. You won't be disappointed. |

While I do not usually take much time to comment on hotels or rentals or travel in general.....I had to comment on your Puna Coast stress management paradise! Anna and I spent four of the best days of our lives there. The huge view of the wild blue pacific and braided lava out front is one we will never forget. Especially when floating in the cozy pool. We were so relaxed we constantly forget what time it was and missed several excursions because we could not drag ourselves to the car! Go see the volcano? Let's do it tomorrow. Snorkel down by Kapoho? WE have time, don't we? I'll have some more papaya first.
Isn't there a really beautiful waterfall up on the Hamakua coast? Oh, here is a picture of it in one of the many house books right here on the beautiful koa table. (the wood work and stained glass in your place is a joy to behold) On one rainy night we sat silent and drank up the sounds of the ocean and the rain. We slept the sleep of children and dreamt of fish and palm trees and glowing lava. We felt sooo at home and it is also very romantic. The beds and bathrooms are great, the kitchen is very nice and it just made us want to share it all with our closest friends and family. This Hawaii is real. A nice hotel is well, a nice hotel. But your place is so much more. Private and no need to hang a Do Not Disturb sign. We can still hear the ocean as swells from great distances meet the black lava cliffs and spray and splash and cool us down. Thanks for thinking of everything that made us so happy in your wonderful house.
