    Mahalo for your review, Bhaskar! We're glad you enjoyed your stay. All of our properties are professionally treated for pests on a regular basis, but it's a never ending battle here in the jungle. We do provide many items like TP and other sundries that ae enough to cover a short stay. They are all listed in your arrival instructions, along with a reminder that we do ask guetss to resupply themselves if they run out of the items we provide. We're glad you had a nice visit and hope you'll keep us in mind if your travels bring you back to Puna! Warmest Aloha, The Salt Water Hawaii Vacations Crew Salt Water Real Estate, Hilo HI

  a guest from Hana, HI recommends this vacation rental

  Upon arrival to this small little cottage then going inside, it was a cute place to stay. The kitchen and room area was clean. The bathroom too was very clean. It was enough for me and my family. We BBQ'd outside and enjoyed the little patio area, enough for 4 people. We loved it and can't wait to rent it again on our next trip.

  Yoshimi A from Burlingame, CA recommends this vacation rental

  This place was exactly what you dreamed of. It was raining during our 3-night stay, but we had a wonderful time staying at the bungalow. There was a gallon of welcome water in the fridge and were sufficient cooking essentials. It was rainy and cold at night. We requested an extra blanket which was brought soon after we requested it. There was a misunderstanding about the laundry facilities, but the owner promptly accommodate our request. Very cute and isolated bungalow, hence it's still close to Hilo /Volcano National Park.

    Mahalo for your review, Yoshimi. We are so glad that you enjoyed your visit. Please keep us in mind if you visit our little corner of paradise. We'd love to host you again! Warmest Aloha, The Salt Water Hawaii Vacations Crew

  Brett H from San Diego, CA recommends this vacation rental

  We really enjoyed our one month stay at the Barefoot Bungalow. The location was conveniently located between the ocean, towns of Keaau and Pahoa, and not much further to Hilo. We were also less than an hour from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and beautiful tropical gardens north of Hilo. The bungalow was immaculately clean. We had great customer service from all the staff at Saltwater Hawaii. While we do wish there was laundry in the bungalow, there was a laundromat close by in Keeau. The property was very private from not only the public, but from the other guest homes on the property.

    MAHALO for the wonderful review Brett! We are thrilled you stayed with us for a month and so glad we exceeded your expectations. Come again! Aloha, The Salt Water Hawaii Crew

  Charli D recommends this vacation rental

  Beautiful home to go to after hiking and exploring all day. The bed isn’t super comfortable but it is a bed and honestly it didn’t matter much, we were so tired. It felt so nice without the ac. The chickens never failed to make me smile in the morning. This home is definitely worth what we paid. Also, if you don’t want ants, make sure to do the dishes. We almost messed up on that one.

  • Manager Responded on 2/3/2023

    Mahalo for your review, Charli. We're so glad Barefoot Bungalow provided a relaxing spot to lay your head after your days of exploring. Good tip about cleaning up - the insects here are tenacious! Take care, and keep us in mind if your travels bring you back this way! Warmest Aloha, The Salt Water Hawaii Vacations Crew
