Perfect place to stay in Volcano
Amazing place to stay. Mark was wonderful and easy to communicate with! The kitchen was fully furnished for cooking and beautiful. Very cozy and comfortable. We look forward to coming back again in a heartbeat!

Amazing Experience
Hau’oli place is incredible! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and didn’t want to leave. The property is obviously well cared for. The decorations are fun and add to the experience. (Our daughter, age 8, loved the tiki doing the shakas.) The location is so close to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park that it is convenient to come and go as you please and enjoy the whole experience.

Wonderful Cottage in Volcano
We enjoyed a very cozy and comfortable stay. The property is stylishly decorated and well appointed, a comfortable place to relax after a long day walking in the National Park. It felt special to be here.

A quiet paradise
My husband and I stayed for a few nights and the property was so peaceful! We loved relaxing here and all the amenities were great. Our flight was delayed upon arrival and the hosts were very understanding and flexible about the check in process. We will be staying again!

We had a wonderful stay at Hau'oli Place in Volcano. It was a well equipped, peaceful, beautiful property and an easy drive to the national park. It worked well for our family of four. We would stay here again without hesitation.

Beautiful private cottage
This is a beautiful cottage with all the modern conveniences to make your stay very comfortable. The grounds are lovely and it is so enjoyable to sit on the huge veranda and listen to the birds. It is close to the Volcano National Park which has many trails and activities to keep you busy for days. We loved our stay here.

Great place at great price!
We've stayed multiple places in Volcano over the last 10 years. This is one of the best for the price. It has a nice, full kitchen, beautiful lanai and is in close proximity to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. We enjoyed several nights out by the fire pit, but also relaxed on the lanai, eating most of our meals there.

The little tiki cottage was fantastic! Can’t say enough about the location (super close to Volcanoes Nat’l Park entrance), the backyard, and the character of the house. A perfect quiet place to serve as basecamp for our big island adventure. Worked great for our family of 4 but would be really good for a couple or solo traveler as well. Hosts are super communicative and welcoming. Thank you so much! Would definitely stay here again.

Great place!
Very cute place, full of tiki stuff. Large backyard area, beautifully landscaped. Well supplied kitchen. It gets COLD in Volcano at night. This place has a heater in the bedroom, one in the bathroom, and one in the living room plus a fireplace. We were always comfortable, would definitely stay here again.

Hau’oli Place was a real gem in a calm and quiet environment, which was just what I wanted in a place to stay. The cottage was so clean, much cleaner than the Marriott we stayed in the night before, and so well outfitted - everything was there that you could think of. The bed was very comfortable, the jacuzzi tub was a treat and the lanai was a place I could hang out all day enjoying the rainforest landscaping. I only wish we had more time there! If you are coming to Hawaii to see the volcano area, you can’t do better than this place!

A+ Volcano Retreat
We stayed at 5 vacation rentals on our recent trip to HI and this place was by far our favorite. The location is very peaceful and relaxing. We absolutely loved hanging out on the porch and listening to the rain and the wildlife. This home has some very unique decorations and well thought out amenities that made our stay in Volcano extra special. Would love to return again. Highly recommend.

Cozy rainforest cottage very close to park!
We loved Hau'oli Place! It is well cared for, has a gorgeous porch and yard. We ate our meals on the porch, serenaded by birds and coqui. Comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen, beautiful fireplace ( which we used!) Mark was great at communicating with us ahead of time, and very responsive. Located only 5 minutes from the park entrance. Stay a few nights, there is so much to explore. Stop at the hilo farmers market on your way in, stock up and stay a while!

Peaceful retreat in Volcano
We stayed just one night and wished it could be longer. The cottage is nestled in a quiet area just minutes from the National Park. The place is cozy, intensely furnished, and clean. I most enjoyed sipping a glass of provided wine on the extensive veranda overlooking the jungle-like property. Our only question was the inability to find a pot holder or oven mitt (and we didn't feel like bothering the owners over something that trivial). We would stay again.

Tranquil oasis for rest
Wow! This rental is beautiful! The lush garden looks so inviting. We had such a lovely visit to the area, even with the crazy rain-hello Kona low. Owner’s answered questions or needs quickly. I’m a bed snob- mattress excellent, sheets comforting not scratchy, and a soft fuzzy blanket made for heavenly sleep. What we needed was available. The only thing that would have made it 10 star was washer dryer access and a listing of basic tv stations. Thanks for offering this rental

Another Comfy Stay at Hau oli Place
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this cute cottage. Again, we found it to be clean and well set up for our 3-nite stay during the Christmas Holidays. As before, there were thoughtful details that we appreciated such as extra throws for warmth on chilly nights, an easy to operate gas fireplace, a comfy bed with heated mattress pad, etc. White, fluffy towels were provided and the bathroom still smelled freshly cleaned when we arrived. We also enjoy the nicely positioned lanai with table, chairs and BBQ grill. The yard behind the cottage is lovely and the owner is planting bamboo along another boundary that was recently buldozed. We had a small struggle with figuring out the TV and cable situation, but the manager, Mark, quickly responded with assistance. All in all, a wonderful holiday get away for us. Mahalo!

So FREAKING adorable!
We had given up on VRBO - all the places we have stayed are dingy and old and not clean. This absolutely stunning home is perfection. It was so clean, every little deatil was so incredibly thoughtful from the heated mattress, to the extra blankets, to the carport, the outside firepit (on immaculately groomed landscaping), all the kitchen equipment.... I could go on. Every time we turned around, we discovered another sweet little thought. We arrived in the late evening and all the lights were turned on inside so it was so inviting to come inside. There were thoughtful little itineraries, things to do, books to read..... And the bed was so so comfy! THANK YOU! We will probably never stay at another VRBO as you have spoiled us too much!

Great cottage in the rain forest!
What a wonderful place and great experience staying Hau'oli Place! The cottage was quiet, private, very clean, and well stocked which made it so easy for us to settle in. All the furniture was very comfortable, too. The Hawaiian and Tiki artwork, collections, and decorations added lots of character. The long lanai on the side of the cottage was a great place to relax, greet the morning sun with a coffee, or have an outdoor meal. The grounds were well-maintained and gorgeous; the rain forest trees and plants attracted many birds, which we enjoyed listening to in the morning and late afternoon. The gas fireplace and electric blanks were welcome amenities as we had several chilly evenings. We took advantage of the location to visit Volcano Garden Arts and Ono Cafe, Volcano Winery, Ka’u Coffee, and hike Volcano National Park which was only 5 minutes away. Mark and Lucretia, the hosts, were very responsive and great at communicating with us ahead of time; they provided helpful information about places to visit, local events, and dining options in the Volcano area. Our 5-night stay was too short! Hopefully we can return in the future. We highly recommend Hau'oli Place!

Extra Special Hale
My husband and I stayed here 3 nites to celebrate our anniversary and Christmas. We have rented a number of vacation homes in the area, many of which were special, but this one is now one of our favorites. Here are some reasons why: 1) It truly lived up to it's Happy Tiki moniker. If you loved the pictures on the website, you will love the decor & furnishings in this hale! 2) It was so well appointed - from the pots and pans in the kitchen to the fluffy white towels in the bathroom. 3) There were strategically placed informational notes about how to work things that were short and to the point. 4) The lanai table was perfectly positioned and quite comfortable for breakfast, lunch or dinner. 5) The grounds were well maintained and large enough to wander around in to spot native birds and flora. 6) The check in time was an hour earlier than most and check out an hour later (no rush to get up and get out ASAP) 7) The hosts were very easy to work with and provided great info on the latest happenings and eateries in the area. To sum up - we had a thoroughly comfortable and enjoyable experience which we appreciated greatly! We would definitely return if/when we had the chance!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Overpriced and not as described!
This place was easy to find as per the host msg. We checked in quite late around 8 ish night. The cleaning was poorly done Bathroom, furniture, refrigerator, floor, porch, dining area outside, microwave etc after long flight and rainy travel day we did not care and next day we cleaned things ourselves because we had to start our planned trip as we were in Hilo for 2 nights only. For next day morning the kitchen stuff was missing like coffee and sugar etc. in-fact coffee machine was not cleaned as well. The inside dining chairs are so uncomfortable that it was hard to have dinner and breakfast with kids. Outside dining was not an option because of cold and porch was not cleaned as well. After long hike day we thought to reach out to host and msg him. He offer us re cleaning while we occupied the unit or leave one day early and refund one night stay. I am not comfortable with first option and for second option, People pre-planned vacations, last minute reservation doesn’t work in Hawaii. We asked him to refund partially as accommodation seems to very overpriced in terms of services, fees what they charge to guest. He did not responded after that. We won’t recommend this place, you can get better services and accommodation in the similar rates in the same area.

Perfect Location
You only have 1 opportunity to make a good 1st impression. This home hit it out of the park. The house is easy to find. It's in a quiet neighborhood. From the outside the house is beautiful. The landscaping is amazing and the grounds are extremely well kept. Entering the house we found it to be exactly as described and pictured. The home is very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed. It has everything you need make breakfast or gourmet dinner. The rear lanai looks out to a beautiful garden. We had breakfast on the lanai every morning. And drinks on it every night. Mark and Lucretia were very responsive and welcoming. This home is on the edge of Volcano National Park. It provided easy access to the park. It was easy getting into Hilo for shopping and meals. We highly recommend this home. We would love to stay here during our next trip to the Big island.
