Come & stay with us at the beautiful & peaceful Bird's Nest

The Bird's Nest is located in a peaceful neighborhood that is surrounded by lush greenery and bird songs can be heard throughout the day & tree frogs at night. The house sits high above the ground which makes it feel as if you are staying in a tree house. The road in front of the home is paved and available for walks or runs. We are located about 4 miles from a couple of beautiful hikes to either a black and white sandy beach or tide pools.

We are located about 15 minutes from Hilo, 5 miles from Pahoa and 4 miles from the ocean and sea cliffs to walk along. Volcano National Park is about a 30 minute drive and we are about a 1 1/2 hour drive over Saddle Road to white sandy beaches.

Your in HAWAII …enjoy!!
Enjoyed our stay and it was a great location. Had great weather in the month of January. Khym is a great hostess and goes out of her way to answer your questions very quickly. They live next door but give you complete privacy. Keep the windows closed at night and you don’t hear the frogs. Thanks Khym for everything and we wish you and your husband all the best in the future. Aloha

Tranquility!
We loved the Bird’s Nest! It was just as it was listed. The house was well-appointed and very comfortable, especially the beds. We slept well after a long day exploring Volcanoes National Park. I’d forgotten how lovely it is to wake up to the sounds of nature. If you want peace and quiet that isn’t too far from Hilo, this is the place for you. And Khymberly is great to work with. She’s responsive and clear in all her communications—very much appreciated. We would stay again.

Hilo side near Puna
We very much enjoyed our stay at the "Birds Nest". We were serenaded by birds, frogs, and crickets overnight and the occasional rooster in the morning. The home is furnished nicely and is well set up for a small family or 2 couples traveling together. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you might need and they have many staples available for you to use. The grounds are very pretty and the outdoor space is very usable. We would definitely stay here again.

This property is truly outstanding in the region. Great value. Large living and dining area with a spacious covered backyard-facing (privacy) balcony. Fully equipped kitchen, complete with all the essential utensils, appliances, gadgets, dishwasher, garburator, and gas barbeque. The separate laundry room and second toilet and shower downstairs makes this ideal for families and longer stays. Both bedrooms were rather comfortable, and the overhead ventilators throughout the house made things nice and breezy. The property was very clean and in excellent order. Our hosts were responsive. The big bonus of this VBRO was the availability and generous stocking of the pantry and cleaning supplies. This alone helped us to avoid wasting hundreds of dollars on what would have been only partially-used containers of condiments, spices, and certain food staples. I liked the pay-it-forward attitude of the venue.

This place was very clean. However, the owner are constantly on your back by texting you to turn off light, close the doors and many more messages that disturbed your short vacay. And when I left one day earlier she texted why I never Informed her a head of time. I paid for the place already so she should not try to rushed cleaning it for the next customer. She should wait for the day Im scheduled to move out.

Beautiful Property, Excellent Experience
We enjoyed our stay at The Bird’s Nest. The property is spacious, clean and well equipped. It was a perfect place to hangout. Check in was easy and the hosts provided a plate of fresh fruit which was much appreciated as our flights to the Island arrived late in the evening. There’s so much to explore on the Big Island and it was great to relax here at the end of the day. Highly recommended this property.

Wonderful stay at the Bird’s Nest!
This beautiful vacation home was perfect for our family. Our two young children enjoyed searching for lizards and exploring the private yard. We enjoyed peaceful mornings and evenings on the patio. The house is equipped with all you need for your stay and is comfortable and inviting. Access to East side of the island was great. Communication with the hosts was great. We highly recommend the Bird’s Nest and will stay here again in our next visit to the Big Island.

Lovely home away from the bustle
We had 5 of us; a senior married couple, our granddaughter and her husband and their 1 year old son. The house is beautifully decorated and remarkably well equipped with all the conveniences of modern life. We got great use of the rice cooker and yoga mat for instance. We appreciated the washer and dryer, and the wide porch wrapping around two sides of the house. Khym andJosh stayed in touch through the vrbo portal. They left us a large bowl of fresh tropical fruits when we arrived, which was a great treat for everyone, including the baby. We found their home to be a delightful place to stay when visiting sights in the Hilo Volcano area.

Great home base for sightseeing
This house was perfect for our needs and had everything we as a family of two adults and two small kids could ask for. The house was very clean and even had beach equipment and a washer and dryer. In addition to the great amenities, the house was close enough to all the things we wanted to see (volcanos, waterfalls, etc). Such a great experience. Thank you!!

A Pleasant and Peaceful Stay
I am a local resident who needed a place to stay while my home was being fumigated. Our stay was very comfortable and affordable. Location was just around the corner, therefore, this home would be perfect for out of town family. Everything about this quaint little 2 bedroom home had all the amenities needed for a vacation. My favorite was the deck and stairway access on either side of the house. Outdoor lighting was especially helpful for my late night arrival. Thank you for accommodating our situation. Mahalo

Great stay at Bird's Nest
My family had a nice stay at this property. It was a convenient location for exploring Hilo and Volcanos National Park. Communication with the owner was great. The house has all the things we needed to make our stay comfortable including a stocked kitchen and beach equipment. There were two bedrooms one with a King and one with a queen. Also, an air mattress was available for the TV room. The two bathrooms were convenient for our group one upstairs inside the house and the other outside and downstairs. The house had a ceiling fan in each room and with the windows open it was comfortable for most of our group. The ground were pretty with all of the plants, flowers and birds. The frogs chirped all night, some of us enjoyed that more than others. Overall we had a really nice stay.

Hi Khym. It was a perfect size house for our family. You thought of everything to make our stay soo comfortable. I’ve worked in the hotel industry for many years but never rented vrbo before.

Very nice place
+ Perfect suburban location several miles south of Hilo for exploring the Southern and Eastern parts of the Big Island. + Furnished with most everything you may need, even has a beach umbrella. + High speed internet. + Smart-TV entertainment includes free Netflix, and can connect other services (we used Amazon Prim) using your own accounts just remember to logout. - Gas range and gas clothing dryer may need re-jetting for propane usage from natural gas, or the regulator pressure is high, meaning cooking is high to extra-high temperature.
