I had such a peaceful and wonderful stay. I loved all the fresh air that blew freely throughout the home as well as all the natural light. I felt very safe as I was travelling as a single gal. The owners Chad and Sue were absolutely wonderful and brought me fresh oranges to juice! The home was very clean and comfortable. I didn’t even miss my bed! The bed was very comfortable. I am already planning my return. Being surrounded every day by beautiful nature gave me inner peace. If you’re looking to relax in a magical place, this is it!

The home was amazingly clean and had all you needed for cooking and comfort. Beautiful spot with a beautiful yard and fresh papaya, avocado, bananas, pineapple and more! The hosts were very passionate about making sure your stay was great!

This house is about 10 miles from Pāhoa, on a lovely secluded piece of land. We loved the peaceful setting. You really feel like you are away from it all, which you pretty much are. Sue and Chad live in a separate house on the same piece of land and are great hosts. Very helpful and responsive. Highly recommended if you want to see the non-touristy side of the Big Island.

The property and location is perfect for 2-4 people. The grounds are beautiful and the house was perfect. We enjoyed the area, beautiful ocean views just across from the driveway. The lava flows you pass driving in are amazing. Absolutely recommend.

We had an amazing stay, and our host Sue was spectacular! We used the property as our 'base" to go on adventures around the island. Within a little over an hours drive we visited Volcanoes National Park: thermal pools at Isaac Hale State Park; waterfalls, snorkeling, botanical gardens, and a lava tube near Hilo; and Kehana black sand beach which was just a few minutes away. The house os off the grid so you need to be mindful of energy consumption but they still have everything you need. We were asked to.compost and recycle and not use the washer/dryer after certain hours which was no problem at all. My kids loved seeing geckos in the house. You need to keep windows open to keep place cool but it was such a pleasant temperature at night- just be mindful that lights on can draw bugs. We acclimated to the more humid rainfirest aspects of the Puna area quickly. This place was its own botanical gardens- we truly loved staying there!

A serene escape nestled along the tropical Hawaii coast. This home offers a slice of paradise with its secluded three-acre expanse. Picture-perfect morning walks become a ritual, as the sun gently bathes the coastline accompanied by the soothing symphony of nature. The sound of frogs and birds creates a melodic backdrop, enveloping you in the tranquility of your surroundings. Random rain showers add a touch of whimsy to the experience, refreshing both the mind and spirit. This secluded haven is a sanctuary for those seeking solace amidst the beauty of nature, where every moment is a chance to unwind and reconnect with oneself.

This is a special, secluded property in a beautiful neighborhood across from the ocean. It really is a beautiful, unique property. There is some additional care that must be taken to stay due to its remote location (e.g., limiting power consumption), but those very minor concessions are absolutely worth it. It's absolutely gorgeous.

Peaceful, lovely, well maintained property. Location on quieter side of the island. We were very comfortable, and enjoyed meeting and talking to Sue and Chad.
The property has so many lovely trees and flowers. The house itself is quite large and roomy for 2 people, we each had our own room. Its a wonderful place to just chill out.
I would stay again in a heartbeat, and hope to return someday!

This home might actually be heaven on earth. It’s a nature lovers paradise! Chad and Sue are the kindest people and have created a beautiful place to stay. Being able to fall asleep listening to the coqui frogs and waves crashing was incredible. Home was very clean and extremely comfortable, we found ourselves constantly saying “wanna head back to the house?” because it was so peaceful there. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

Our family of 3 thoroughly enjoyed our brief 3 night visit at Kamani Grove. So much aloha is this spacious, comfortable & well appointed 2 story house. Chad & Sue, the most gracious hosts, have lovingly created for decades a botanical oasis filled with flora & fauna delights. Chad made sure there is super fast wifi (for those that need it). The walk down the ‘dnveway’ to the coast is delightful. The location is a short drive to many places of interest but also a bit remote, which was what we desired (lightening & star gazing was phenomenal). We got poke & groceries on our way there in Hilo & then went out to dinner in Pāhoa. Fresh squeezed tangelo & orange juice from their trees was so memorable - liquid sunshine! We hope to visit again soon & stay for longer.

Property is away from everybody. Botanical gardens-more flowers and plants than in a professional Botanical garden. House had lots of room, bathroom was huge with shower surface none slip. Windows wide open catching the breeze. Great place to call home base for touring the island or great for sitting around reading a book.

This property is amazing!!! Driving up to the house feels like you are staying on a resort property. The landscape is beautiful! I loved the peeps frogs at night, the beautiful stars, and the total darkness. The bed was very comfortable and everything and then extras were supplied. Sue was very communicative and made us feel like welcomed guests! She left us fresh avocados and lemons from their fruit trees. We had a wonderful time and loved our stay here!

Sue and Chad were wonderful hosts, the house is absolutely beautiful, spacious, and well situated. The grounds are gorgeous, and it was fun getting a tour of them. Everything you could possibly need or want was provided, I would definitely stay there again.

The house sits on beautiful property surrounded by various flowers and fruit trees. About 6 min walk to the ocean to enjoy sunrises. Ocean is also visible from front porch or upstairs living room. The place has all you need to cook meals. It’s very quiet location , no immediate neighbors. There is a nice coffee shop near by. Truly beautiful, amazing and peaceful place. We were two friends, but the place is well suited for a family. Hosts Sue and Chad were welcoming and made sure we felt comfortable. Highly recommend .

Sue and Chad's place was a relaxing quiet place in a botanical paradise. Fresh pineapple along with avacodos and other fruit were just a topping on our farmer's market purchases.
We enjoyed the setting and adapted to the location on the bottom of the Big Island. A short walk down the drive and across the road is beautiful place to watch ocean waves crashing on the shore.
Chad and Sue were perfect hosts! So friendly and available!!

Kamani Grove is the epitome of a Hawaiian Paradise. The hosts, Sue and Chad are wonderful and have taken care of every detail to ensure a comfortable stay. The grounds are beautifully manicured with delicious fruits at every turn. You couldn't ask for a more ideal place to relax and experience all the beauty, sounds and fragrance of Aloha.

Thank you Chad and Sue for opening up your dream home to share with us again! Want a true getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life? Then this is the place to be to step back and slow down and immerse yourself in “smelling the roses”. The 3 acre grounds are maintained immaculately with such love and attention by these hosts. We will definitely be back.

The pictures just don't do this house justice! It's absolutely breathtaking!! The owners are so friendly and helpful, there's multiple resources available at the house for food, activities, etc. If we are ever back on the BI, we would absolutely stay here again!!

This property is exactly what we were looking for. Beautiful surroundings, quiet, very well maintained and provisioned, including some local fruit waiting for us on our arrival. We spent an entire day just hanging out on the property. Location is on the quiet side of Hawaii, away from people as well as stores or restaurants, so plan accordingly. This was just what we needed - our favorite place to visit on the big island! We will definitely be back. Thanks, Sue and Chad!

We just loved staying at Chad & Sue's beautiful home. The Pahoa area is magical with the wild ocean and tropical forests and very laid back, hippie vibe. The home was simply and tastefully decorated and we found it so comfortable. We slept well with the windows open and the sound of the coqui frogs. The landscaping was mature and beautiful and something Sue is very proud of, don't miss up a chance to tour the property with her. Lots of beautiful birds to watch, King Snails to look at (don't touch!). If you are not familiar with the area as we were, it will feel like a very long drive from the actual town of Pahoa or Hilo but we think the seclusion really added to our vacation. We would not hesitate to come back!

Our stay here was absolutely fantastic. Sue sent lots of information ahead of time to prepare us for our stay which was very helpful. The house is a ways out from the nearest grocery store, but the trade off is well worth it. The home is a good size for our family of 4, and the property is just like paradise. They are completely on solar, so there are some rules around appliances that are easy to follow. The birds are loud at night, so if you're a light sleeper bring some ear plugs. My only regret is we didn't stay longer.

Great experience staying at this property, with it's beautiful botanical scenery and location directly across from the coast. Hosts, Sue and Chad, were very gracious. Having them located on the property to assist if needed was a welcome bonus. House and property were clean, neat and had everything we needed to make our stay wonderful. The location across from the coast was our favorite, the ocean cliff view from the bench was breathtaking. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Really, the pictures just cannot capture the beauty of this place. The house was spotless and had all the amenities. She was lovely and so generous with her time and the property. A lovely area to explore. I highly recommend Kamini Grove
