Glad we stayed on the Hilo side of the island Kurt F. from Yuma, Arizona recommends this property. Stayed for 5 days in October, 2012 We had some difficulty getting online due to an incorrect password but the rental company got it fixed within 24 hours of our bringing it to their attention. The proximity to first rate snorkeling is great. I wouldn't plan on doing any snorkeling in the very tiny section of pond alloted to this property. There is a great restaurant in Pahoa about 8 miles away called Kaleos. Reservations are recommended. The Hilo side is less touristy than the Kona side and so, with that you see more of the locals which is not always a good thing but the Hilo (east) side of the island is much more beautiful in my opinion. |

Paradise found Ellen O. from Arlington, VA recommends this property. Stayed for 4 days in July, 2012 I came to the Big Island for pleasure and business. When we first arrived on the island we stayed at the Hapuna Prince. Awesome resort and was sad to leave. My work was in Hilo and was a little worried about the "rainy" side of the island. Well, it turned out the area around the Orchid Elua was awesome, too. The house was roomy and cozy. Plenty of room for our travel crew of my two children and sister-in law to spread out. It was so relaxing sleeping with the windows and doors open. The evening rain on the palm froms and the chirping frogs were peaceful. The tidal pools down the road was awesome to snorkel in, I even made a point of it to snorkel before work. The area also provides great access to other little by-way parks and beautiful fauna. It was so sad to leave. |

Fun Family Vacation Anthony R. from Lincoln, NE recommends this property. Stayed for 6 days in June, 2012 Excellent rental property. Perfect location to explore the Big Island. Tide pools were great for snorkeling. We had seven in our party (ages ranging from 72 to 7) and hand plenty of space to move around. We all enjoyed Orchid Elua. |

Great Location A guest from Troy, MI does not recommend this property. Stayed for 7 days in May, 2012 Orchid Elua was wonderful property. It was clean and well cared for. We loved the nearby Kapoho tide pools and the kids enjoyed swimming in the larger tide pool on the property. It accommodated our family of eight perfectly. We would love to visit again soon. |

Beautiful home on the Big Island's scenic side Mark V. from Beaverton, OR recommends this property. Stayed for 7 days in January, 2012 We enjoyed our stay at the beautiful Orchid Elua. The layout of the home was perfect for our group of five. The screened-in patio provided a comfortable space for our group dinners while the four bedrooms afforded each of us privacy -- and our own bathrooms! We especially enjoyed sipping morning coffee on our second-story lanai, gazing at the lush greenery all around us, trying to spot mongooses scurrying through the ferns. One of the few negatives of staying at such a lush, natural area is the bugs. Several seemed to find their way to the roof of our bedroom and bathroom. And while we enjoyed looking at the private tidepool in the backyard, we opted to swim in the much larger tidepool area just a short walk away. The water there was clear, warm and provided excellent snorkeling. And the coqui? They actually reminded me of crickets. Overall, our entire familly enjoyed Orchid Elua and the adventures on the Big Island's scenic side. |

Photo may be misleading but..... Jeanie W. from Santa Barbara, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 5 days in December, 2011 Our family had a wonderful time staying at Orchid Elua Property. The location was perfect with plenty places to explore with children. The stores were within driving distance and not too long. Plenty of snorkeling spots for the kids that are safe from the surf break. Negative experience was having the smoke detector sound off at 1AM and it could not be turned off since it was connected to the house. Thanks to maintenance for taking care of that. The frogs whistled a bunch but did not bother us one bit. Don't be surprised as I was about the geckos that hide and come out to greet you. At first it startled me but they are considered good luck in the house. They were nice to stay away from me. The picture in the online photo is misleading since the house pond/lagoon like pool shown there is much smaller on our side. We did not snorkel or swim in the pond since the tide pools were more inviting. Kitchen is small but had most of the things needed. The frying pans could be replaced with nicer ones and it would be nice to have a little breakfast nook table/chairs for children to sit and have breakfast instead of outside during the winter months. The house is filled with all the amenities needed and laundry area for clothes. We discovered that we packed way too much clothes. Overall, with a few minor things, this place is a great place for a family to snorkel, explore with all the amenities of home. Aloha and Mahalo! |

Comfort at the Tide Pools A guest from Escondido, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 8 days in October, 2011 The house is lovely. We were two couples and one child so we had our pick of bedrooms. I couldn't get used to sheer curtains in the bathroom that overlooked the street, so we put towels up. The tide pools are a 5 minute walk away but plan to stay there all day they are so fun. Good info at the house regarding local shops/gas/sights, but beware of old guide books. Plan to be flexible. The kitchen had everything we needed. The tide pond in the back of the house was okay, we enjoyed swimming in it the 1st day, but overshadowed by the actual tide pools. We'd be happy to return especially if there were real curtains. |

Absolutely beautiful pair of houses!! James M. from Chicago, IL recommends this property. Stayed for 7 days in August, 2011 My family rented both houses on this property and they are both very nice with many ammenities. Little things like having loaner masks and snorkels made things fun for kids and adults alike. The only minor thing that could have been improved was that floors were nicely swept but could have used a thorough mopping before we rented. We didn't wear shoes in the house and quickly noticed the condition of the floor on our feet. |

Gorgeous Home Great R&R Kathy M. from Alamo, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 2 days in July, 2011 We enjoyed our stay in this lovely home in a very quaint tropical neighborhood. It was very quiet. In the evening I loved the sound of the crickets, frogs and geekos and tropical breeze rustling in the trees. The beds were very comfortable. Typically I am a light sleeper but here I slept like a baby. I highly recommend this beautiful home if you are looking to be close to nature and for a truly relaxing environment. You are close to beautiful beaches, the ocean, and tide pools. Pahoa is the closest town with some great restaurants. It is about a 15 minute drive and from Kapoho to Pahoa it is just a nice tropical drive. Lovely! |

It was very expensive with all the add on's. A guest from Cable, WI recommends this property. Stayed for 1 days in June, 2011 The kitchen lacked serving dishes. It's a one person kitchen! The teflon pans need to be replaced. We did enjoy our short stay and realize that its hard to keep a rental in top condition. Property Manager Response: Response from Aloha Coast Realty, LLC/Hawaii Holiday Vac. Rentals We appreciate the feedback regarding the pans. This reservation was for one night-- we explained up front we don't normally confirm stays for a single night because of the required other charges which makes it not usually make financial sense, but this guest pleaded and insisted so we allowed it. |

Beyond Expectation Donna P. from Alden, NY recommends this property. Stayed for 7 days in April, 2011 The property was so beautiful, inside and out. The foliage was spectacular and provided privacy from the adjoining neighbors. The fish in the tide pool were not colorful but it was nice taking a dip in the private tide pool. Our 2 sons enjoyed having their own bedroom and separate bathroom as well! Su from management was available when we had a problem with the router and also before our arrival answering all our questions. If you have concerns about the cleanliness of the tide pools roused by another reviewer please see this link and you will find they are tested and totally safe and clean. |

Description sounds better than it is A guest from San Diego, CA does not recommend this property. Stayed for 5 days in April, 2011 We were pretty disappointed. 1) Living spaces are very small, seating is uncomfortable and while the house sleeps 8, you can't sit 8 to socialize.2) only dining room is outdoor on the lanai, with screens that gap at the frames, so bugs get in. Only seats 6.3) No a/c in the bedrooms to improve humidity, thus windows left open to the bugs and other critters at night .. plus the rain. Looks like the wood floors are being damaged from others doing the same and water getting inside.4) description reads like the lagoon outside is a combo swimming pool/snorkeling pool, when it's more of a bug factory. 5) Had to purchase things like trash bags and paper towels. It's not as well stocked as a vacation rental should be, we were constantly improvising on kitchen items. |

5 Star Rating for a Beautiful, Quiet, Vacation Rental on the Big Island Brooke H. from Kirkland, IL recommends this property. Stayed for 4 days in January, 2011 We really enjoyed this rental house and would highly recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Hawaii. We also stayed on Maui and Oahu and the entire group voted this rental the best. We had a group of 6 adults and this home was very accomodating for everyone. The house was very spacious, especially because the bedrooms had private lanai's and bathrooms. The rental was clean except it needed a little dusting. We arrived late at night and the house was easy to find. The kitchen was stocked with many condiments, much more than could have been expected! We spent most of our time just down the block (a short walk) at the large tide pools. We also explored the nearby attractions like the black sand beach, lava tree park, warming pools, champagne pools, and of course the volcano and national park. We also spent a day in Hilo visiting beautiful waterfalls and the farmers market, which was a great place to buy some gifts. We really enjoyed this house, we only wish we could have stayed longer! |

Fantastic location for swimming in tidepools and relaxing ! A guest from Marlborough, Wiltshire recommends this property. Stayed for 7 days in August, 2010 The house and its location was great but the picture is somewhat misleading as it shows the house viewed across the pond owned by the adjacent property. The pond for Orchid Elua was very small and shaded - more a dip than a swim. That said the ocean tidepools were only 5 minutes away and we swam there all the time!Property management was great - our first choice rental pulled the property from the market after our booking and they were great finding this one for us. Loads of stuff already in the house (washing liquid, dishwash liquid, condiments etc) wish we had known this before we got there as we shopped first.No noise problems from dogs, chickens or people - unlike the other reviewers noted. |

Perfect Spot for our Group! Pua M. from San Rafael, 94903 recommends this property. Stayed for 7 days in July, 2010 Everyone in my group absolutely LOVED this property! Being so close to the water, tide pools, hot pond, and our very own warm pond offered something for everyone. Kapoho is not very far from the viewing area for the recent lava flow, so we were able to visit a few times during our stay. Orchid Elua will not disappoint! |

A relaxing week for us and the kids David M. from Seattle, WA recommends this property. Stayed for 7 days in May, 2010 This was a wonderful house on a small tidal pool. It was a bit of a drive from Hilo, but worth it for the lush surroundings. The house was very clean, well stocked with linens and beach toys and a great place for our family to return to after each day's activities. I would highly recommend it (and already have!) |

Great place to stay, could have been cleaner Albert H. from Sun City West, AZ recommends this property. Stayed for 14 days in April, 2010 Was a great place to stay with the exception of the cockroaches and bugs that get into the house. The dust on the headboards on the beds was awful. Could have been a little cleaner in my estimation, but I expect cleanliness. There were dogs in the neighborhood that kept us awake some nights. Other than that it was as we expected. Beautiful location, howerver, not much in good restaurants. |

Barking Dogs! Kathy S. from Chicago, IL recommends this property. Stayed for 9 days in January, 2010 The home was beautiful inside but the furniture in the living area was very uninviting and uncomfortable, especially for a large group of people. Also the dogs next door made it seem like we were back home instead of on a tropical island. It was near the ocean and one could walk to the tide pools to snorkel which was great but everything else was a long drive away, including food shopping. If you want peace and quiet, when the dogs aren't barking, it is beautiful. If you want to be near attractions and shopping, this place is not for you. |

Stayed for 7 days in October, 2009 Orchid Elua is a perfect house for groups with the 4 bedroom, 4 bath floor plan. Good location for walks to the tidepools and neighborhood strolls. The backyard pond was great! For a really large group, you could also rent White Orchid, across the pool. |

Hawaii and Orchard Eula were beautiful and the convenience of having a place to call home was terrific! Orchid Eula and the Ti Kathy & Royce H. from Lusk, WY recommends this property. Stayed for 5 days in September, 2009 The only drawback to our vacation was the speed limits :). We are used to 65+ so had to plan more time to get places. In review, we should probably have planned a couple days stay on the other side of the Island for convenience, however really enjoyed the many wonders available around Hilo. Everyone was very helpful and things were easy to find and access. Enjoyed this beautiful State and its history, culture and beauty. Thanks! |

Could have been great... A guest from Burlingame, CA does not recommend this property. Stayed for 5 days in August, 2009 The property was nice. Close to great snorkeling, remote.I wish we had been warned that they were building a house right next door. We were looking forward to some peace and quiet, and we got hammers, sawing, loud music, and the sound of a generator. Every day. We have a 10 month old, so we weren't planning to go on many excursions, but the noise forced us to leave the area. A shame, really. |

Michael T. from Cincinnati, OH does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 10 days in June, 2009 The house and location are great. However there is a rooster that lives in the yard of the house next door that crows much of the night and will not allow anyone to sleep. Most of the guests that wrote comments in the guest log had the same comment. Very unfortunate. Property Manager Response: The rooster is now gone! As of today, 7/16/09. We apologize for that inconvenience, but we appreciate the guests letting us know. Hawaii Holiday Vacation Rentals. |

Recent Stay Jonathan F. from Atlanta, GA does not recommend this property. Stayed for 7 days in June, 2009 The place was very nice. Your agency was very helpful. I don't think I may reccomend this house to anyone for one major reason. The next door neighbors have a rooster that likes to crow at about 3:30AM (and again a 6AM). This is a BIG problem for people who chose a quiet out of the way location to stay and relax. Apparently there is some sort of noise ordinace alluded to in the guest book but I guess it does not apply to animals. I guess there may no be much the owner can do. It's ashame really. Aside from this issue the propoety is very nice and as long a folks realize they are staying in a bit of a distant location (This is what we wanted) it's great. |
