We stayed on this property for 2 weeks, the unit was top notch, very clean and stocked with everything needed to make our stay enjoyable. The property was beautiful, tropical oasis! The hosts Karen and Tim were very gracious and great to visit with. Their guest hosts Jeannette and John were also great interesting people! I would recommend this property to anyone.

We stayed here Dec 2024 - Jan 2025 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is conveniently located not far from the airport, shopping (Costco!), restaurants, and Kailua town. Host Karen was so welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The house has everything you need for a Hawaiian vacation including beach towels, boogie boards, coolers, ice packs, beach chairs umbrellas, snorkel gear, board games, etc. A washer/dryer onsite was convenient. We enjoyed fresh fruit (tangelos and pink grapefruit) that we picked from the trees on the property, and we enjoyed the menagerie of animals there (doggies, goats, and a giant tortoise). A covered lanai with tropical views was a perfect spot for breakfast (there is a drip coffee maker, BTW). The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable.While we highly recommend this location, there are some things to be fully aware for certain travelers:1) If you have bad knees, note that you need to walk up a steep driveway and a few stairs to get in the house.2) If you are sensitive to road noise, the 2nd "kids" bedroom faces a road that can be busy (i.e. loud) with large trucks traversing up or down a hill. Karen has provided white noise machines in the bedrooms, but the trucks can be quite loud.3) If you have mold/mildew sensitivities/allergies, the house sits above a large closed garage. We had no issues with it, but if you have an allergy, it might.4) The pool is quite cold, and the hot tub is very hot. But maybe you'd like that!

We enjoyed our stay at Karen & Tim's!
The well-maintained & clean space is gated & secure. There is some road noise from the hill behind the house, but you get used to it after the first day & white-noise machines are provided in bedrooms.
The mini-farm was fun for our son to see, and he loved all the little dogs. The pool & hot tub are perfect for kids too, our son's friend visited for a day & they were entertained all day while we were out snorkeling. Since the property is secure, I did not feel uncomfortable leaving them at the house while we were out for a few hours.
If you are not an animal lover, this is not the place for you! Sometimes Karen plans to have the dogs out, & she will ask you to text her when you are on the way back so she can round them all up & get them inside - if we forgot to text, I would hop out of the car at the gate & walk up the driveway ahead of the car, to check for loose dogs.
The property is lush, so there are some mosquitos about in the evenings, but bug spray & zappers are provided.
You can't walk to the beach, but the location is a short drive to many excellent beaches & even closer to Costco & the airport.
We had a great time!

Absolutely loved this place! It was so wonderful I donât even know where to begin!
Firstly it feels like youâre living in a jungle, it is so beautiful and comforting! The plant and area around it are so intriguing and healthy!
Secondly, Karen and Tim (the hosts) are some of the nicest people you will ever meet! They are social and kind, you almost feel like youâre part of their family! They have a turtle and two goats, they are so much fun to hangout with in the mornings! Also, Karen and Tim have so many suggestions for things to do around the island, they gave us a good easy hike to do which was only a few minutes away from the house and it was so much fun! And another thing, they have the cutest small dogs I have ever seen!
The home you stay in is so well managed and clean, it is such a comfortable place to be! It honestly feels like home! (My dad and I made smoothies every morning with oranges from their trees, AMAZING)!
Highly suggest stay here!

We absolutely loved our stay. We were blown away by the beautiful garden grounds all around, with such variety of plants and flowers, fruit trees, pool and animals. We were welcomed so warmly and throughout our stay loved how Karen let us interact with the animals- especially our 13 year old who was in love with the little dogs. The guesthouse is spacious and beautiful, as is the lanai. There is some street noise, but this is mentioned in the listing and did not bother us. We were so glad we chose the guesthouse over a condo. It is only minutes from Kona. Having a pool and hot tub to yourself in a garden so beautiful canât be beat. Literally everything you need and more can be found in the unit, including all the beach items you could want. Thank you Karen and Tim for such a great stay and wonderful communication!

Fantastic property and awesome hosts. Tim & Karen made us feel at home as soon as we arrived. The house is in a great location, about four miles up the mountain from KOA airport. 1,250 feet above sea level so the evenings are very comfortable for sleeping. Several awesome beaches are all within a 20 minute drive. The house is spacious, well kept and full of every possible amenity. Karen provided superb recommendations for beaches and places to visit. I strongly recommend this host. It is THE best place we have stayed at on The Big Island in all the years we have visited.

The property was beautiful -- filled with plants of all kinds and animals. After a busy day of driving and being in crowds, it was nice to come "home" to a place to unwind. My favorite place was the porch where we ate meals when we were at the house. Karen was a great hostess who also gave good suggestions about places to see.

My family, consisting of my wife and I, our 7 year old girl and the grandparents (both in their 70's) stayed here and loved the property. Karen and Tim were great to us and were very reasonable and accommodating. Our daughter loved staying here! Part of her daily routine was feeding all the animals on site with Karen (who was great with our daughter). The location was perfect for us as we were an easy 30 min drive to our favorite beaches up the north coast. They shared their beach toys with us and that gave us everything we needed the whole time we were there without having to rent or buy additional beach items.
The washer/dryer was great for us as well.
Overall, this was a great place to stay! Thanks for the warmth and genuineness. Aloha!

The owners were gracious. The house was beautiful, but, a few drawbacks
You cannot lock the doors when you leave, no keys available. This was not mentioned in the description. One of the residents swims naked in the shared pool, again, not mentioned in the description. We were asked to text when we were leaving the property and returning so they could be sure all the dogs were inside. We love animals, but, this was not mentioned in the description. The house was clean, unfortunately, there were bugs, and we were bit, one of our party was bitten ALOT.. the owner did respond with spraying and using eucalyptus., we continued to get bit.. after 5 days we decided we could not stay any longer and found another VRBO to stay. We did let the owner know, as well as VRBO with no refund of unused days. ,. 9 to be exact. The owners were very gracious. We think they should be more transparent in the rules, regulations and lack of locks/keys. Maybe a professional pest company.

We had a wonderful time at Karen and Timâs vacation rental. The hosts went the extra mile to ensure that our stay was comfortable. I suggested that a luggage rack would be a nice add to her house and boomâŠ..Karen ordered them and had them there before we left. I was especially thankful for her and Timâs good and helpful suggestions of things to see and do. I recommend checking out some of their suggestions. Karen and Tim have been hosting visitors for awhile and it is obvious that they know how to turn out an amazing product.
I was concerned about the street noise but it was never a bother to us. View their video if you want to understand what to expect. It is an accurate representation. I will stay here again if at all possible. Thank you Karen and Tim for the comfortable visit.

This property seemed to have everything we needed, plus a giant tortoise named Moku. We made a lot of our own meals, and plenty of pots, pans, spices, and utensils were available. Nice, big beach towels, boogie boards, and snorkels for beach outings, as well as little coolers and ice packs. The bedrooms were set up perfectly for our family of four. Conveniently located to reach all the main sights, and the hosts were generous with their local knowledge. Beautiful, gated property.

This is a unique property that has some terrific pluses, but also some minuses to consider.
The home is a large and attractive with comfortable beds in both bedrooms, two nice bathrooms, and a very comfy sofa. The kitchen is large and well equipped, and there is a nice patio with a beautiful view.
The property is on a huge lot filled with gorgeous plants and trees. It is like living in a rainforest. That plus the abundant supply of gorgeous little dogs and a 100-pound turtle you can feed really make it special.
Most of all, Karen is a true super host who will go to no end to make your trip a special occasion. She sent us a huge amount of advanced info about places to go, itineraries, with photos, etc., and answered all our many questions during our visit. She makes available abundant snorkels, fins, boogie boards, beach chairs, towels. As we were arriving very late at night, she even went shopping at Costco for us before we arrived, only charging us the cost of the groceries we bought.
But, there are some important downsides you should consider before booking this place. First, it is noisy. Lot of street traffic noise throughout the day. For at least one of the people in our family of five, that alone would probably be a deal breaker from our coming again.
While we were there, there was also an extremely noisy frog (or frog family?). Unlike the street noise, I think that can possibly be dealt with, so if you book here you may want to ask about whether that has been resolved.
In addition, the pool is small and not very warm, so it's not a replacement for a resort pool.
There is no laundry on the premise, though Karen will wash and dry your clothes for a reasonable fee.
Finally, the location is convenient in certain ways (near the airport, Costco, Walmart, Kailua Kona) but a long drive from what I consider the two most desirable tourist locations on the island -- near the Kilauea volcano on the Hilo side and in the Waikoloa area on the Kona side. If you on'y want to stay at one place that is somewhat centrally located all week, then this works out well, but you will probably be driving every day to do things.
In summary, if you want a large, centrally located place at a very reasonable price, with an amazing host, this is a terrific option. But if you want a quieter resort-like experience, you may want to choose elsewhere.

We had a fabulous stay at the Turtle House! Close enough for an easy drive to all the major sites, off the path enough to feel honey and outside the tourist scene! Karen and Tim are amazingly kind and helpful! From recommendations for restaurants to advise for places to visit, let alone the service at the home, they were amazing! The house is big enough to spread out a bit, with all the things you could need! We borrowed boogie boards, noodles, sand toys, and binoculars at various points in the trip, as well as coolers and beach bags. (Hiking backpacks were offered as well but we didn't need one.). There is some road noise, but we only really noticed it in the morning when we were headed out for the day anyway. The night was full of only the sounds of birds and insects. We highly recommend a stay here, and one day hope to return to explore more of the Big Island. (Two weeks just wasn't enough!)
