My husband and I stayed at Rachaelle's oceanfront home for 4 nights and it was lovely! It was one of the most unique locations we've ever stayed at. The view of the ocean and lava rock landscape right off the deck was so beautiful and we were able to watch the sunrise just about every morning. I read reviews about people falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean but what stuck out the most for us was the symphony of coqui frogs every night. The place itself was spacious and incredibly comfortable. We were even able to enjoy the weekly night market at the local farmers market down the street from us. One thing to note for people wanting to do activities in Hilo area, it was about a 40-45 minute drive to the downtown area. But the uniqueness of this location was definitely worth it for us!

We really enjoyed our time here. The place was very clean, quiet, and exactly what we were looking for. It’s in a secluded area of the island and absolutely perfect if you’re looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy the beautiful nature of Hawaii. Everything was well taken care of, and the host was easy to work with and very accommodating, which made the whole experience smooth. We’d definitely stay here again.

All I can say is wow! Everything we could want or need was available for us. Our host was absolutely amazing, lots of information about what we could do while there, the ocean lullaby and views were breathtaking and beautiful. Any stress I felt before I arrived melted away. I wish I could express how incredibly satisfied my stay was. Mahala!

The location is amazing. Right on the lava flow. The private black sand beach is awesome, but don’t expect to go swimming there as the surf is rough smashing against rock. I would highly recommend staying here. A couple things that could be improved by the host would be to 1) get a new grill; the one there is so rusted and falling apart that it is a borderline hazard 2) replace the shower head; the one in the shower constantly falls off 3) update the description so anyone renting knows that the kitchen does not have an oven or a dishwasher.

Beautiful space at the edge of the lava, with the sea in the walkable distance. We stayed in both the Ocean Temple and the Bali Temple and both were wonderful. Roomy and spacious. Comfortable.

The Bali Temple was an absolute dream to stay in! We loved how it was so far away from the bigger cities and how quiet and relaxing it was. We walked the lava run every day to see the ocean- it is exactly as advertised! The host was lovely and responsive. The only thing I wish we’d known ahead of time is that there is no stove or oven but there is a hot plate! Prepare your meals accordingly! Otherwise it was absolutely perfect and we had the best time.

Cool house and amazing views
Very cool place! We did get chased out of the back yard/beach by lose dogs that had collars and tags but no owners in sight which was a bit scary. Great place to stay and eat drive up to the volcano!

酒店回复: I know where the dogs live; they are harmless. I always suggest calling me if anything were to arise that needed to be addressed, so that guests are sure to enjoy a 5-star experience!

Very tranquil location. It was nice to side on the deck and watch the waves.We enjoyed walking on the lavender to watch the sunrise and sunset.No stove but there was a 2 burner hot plate and toaster oven.You need to pay attention to the directions to find the Bali Temple property.

Peaceful
Great stay and enjoyed every aspect of the home itself. Lava flows were cool to explore but took away from the traditional ‘beach experience’. That’s the only concern we had… driving to actual sand beaches. Again, minor detail for our group but a family with younger kids might have had issues. Would stay here again for sure.
