IO's Nest Lookout on the Hamakua
We loved the Io’s nest! Spectacular view of the Hamakua coast. Super quiet, but not a far drive from Hilo town. There’s an outdoor shower and toilet a little walk away. And bonus- you can pet some donkeys if you’re in the mood!

Sweet Hale
Krystles's home is in a gorgeous area surrounded by plant life. The place feels very private and is perched on the side of a hill overlooking the surrounding flora and coastline. They were super friendly and instructions very clear. So hospitable and had everything I could possibly need. In the morning the donkeys were hugging in the middle of the road, the sweetest sight ever!!! I passed safely by and one of them followed me to the gate, so I got out to make sure he/she didn't follow me out and to say hi, so sweet!!! I told him/her to go back after a few nose rubs and he/she turned around and waited for the gate to close. Best send off ever. Shower was private, hot, and loved the tile texture in the backsplash. Very enjoyable stay here, wish I coulda stayed longer. Mahalo nui loa, Krystle!

Gorgeous Views
We loved staying at Krystle IO nest! The deck and the view are amazing. The bungalow is tastefully equipped with the essentials.

Absolutely unreal stay! What an experience to stay on the hillside and have such a spectacular view of the land and ocean. The space was clean and organized, and was exactly as pictured. Krystle and Ascot both greeted me when I arrived. I had every amenity I needed, and was able to get fresh food everyday from local vendors and shops in Honomu. It's perfectly situated to make it easy to access so many sites on the north east side of the island, from Vanilla farms to downtown Hilo. I can't wait to come back in the future.

Beautiful property with amazing views! Krystle showed us around and clearly took pride in the home. The donkeys, sheep, boar and cats were so fun to watch as well. Would highly recommend!

Easy to access, nice comfortable stay with everything needed. Would come again for the secluded setting and beautiful ocean views.
