Disliked: Cleanliness
Our recent stay at the Zuki House was far from ideal. While some bugs are expected on an island, the sheer number of insects was excessive, making it difficult to sleep.The lack of adequate air conditioning was a major issue. With only one unit upstairs, our kids' rooms downstairs were uncomfortably hot, even with fans. Leaving windows open for a breeze wasn't an option due to constant road noise and safety concerns with random people roaming the area. The house itself felt "janky" and unclean. We found several areas that hadn't been properly cleaned, despite the “cleaning fee”. Simple things like the front door being obstructed by the washer and dryer, and a dishwasher that wasn't secured to the cabinets, highlighted a lack of maintenance.Finally, the property's remote location made getting around inconvenient.Having stayed in many places across the islands, the Zuki House simply doesn't compare. We wouldn't stay here again. It's perhaps only suitable for those with very low expectations.

Wonderful Stay

Zuki house is beautiful and just as described. The location is perfect for visiting Volcano National Park because it's only about an hour's drive. A short walk away, there is a park where you can hike and look out over the beautiful cliffs! We loved it and we had no issues with bugs or ants during our stay. The home was beautiful and clean. The hot water heater was not working, and they came and had it replaced immediately. Great service. We loved having the hot tub to relax in the evenings after busy days. The only "quirk" to the house is that there is a lip on every single step heading upstairs, so you have to go up and down the stairs sideways, or it's painful on your feet. A minor inconvenience, and we didn't have to go up and down very often. It was a great experience!

Beautiful home within an hour of Hilo and Volcanoes Nat’l Park

This was a beautiful home with plenty of space for us in the upstairs lofted master and two private rooms below, one for each of our teens. All the surfaces were clean and modern with gorgeous tile and sinks in the bathrooms, and granite in the kitchen. I especially liked the large open kitchen dining and living area. We had sufficient kitchen supplies to prepare and eat our breakfasts and lunches here, but mostly grabbed dinner while we were out touring the area. The upstairs lofted master is only separated from the common space by the staircase and can get very warm during the afternoon. But it cools down fairly well and quickly when using the provided AC or by opening windows at night (when there is a breeze). Bugs can be a problem in Hawaii, but they were controlled well here, especially in comparison to other places we stayed during our trip.You just have to walk past 1 house to reach a community park that’s adjacent to the rocky shoreline. It’s a beautiful view, but not really safe for getting into the water. The more accessible beaches are a 25-45 minute drive away. Carlsmith Beach Park in Hilo is a gem! Proximity to Volcanoes National Park was another big draw. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the home and would be more than happy to stay here again.

Pahoa is very family area and away form the rest. Zulu house is lovely and super clean. Property manager super helpful. Short walk tot he shore.you can see the ocean form the house itself. My only is there are limited foo options and you have to drive 15-20 min. Hilo has good options but that would be 30 min plus drive

Zuki House

We had a lovely stay at Zuki House on the Hilo side of the Big Island. This was our first trip to Hawaii, and it was a wonderful choice for meeting up with friends from Europe. The accommodations were comfortable, well-appointed, and provided everything we needed for a relaxing and memorable visit. The sunrises from the property were stunning, and the sounds of frogs, rain, and waves crashing added a magical touch to the experience. It was such a peaceful way to start and end each day. The property was clean, and the management team was helpful and responsive whenever we had questions. Zuki House made a fantastic base for exploring the Hilo side of the island, and we’re leaving with so many wonderful memories. Thank you for hosting us and making our first trip to Hawaii so enjoyable!

Comfortable, Safe, Beautiful Location

The home provided more than enough room for 3 friends and would be comfortable for a family with kids, too. A couple parks are well intermingled in the neighborhood which is quiet and a good location to walk, stargaze, and sleep well. Hilo is accessible but not too close, the Sunday Maku'u Market is a must, and the proximity to the ocean provided a relaxing vibe.

Such a beautiful house. All amenities we needed and more. Property manager and owner were both very responsive when we had a little hiccup with the hot tub — it was fixed and running within 20 minutes after we reached out. It was warm upstairs (January) in the evenings but stayed comfortable with the portable AC. Would love to stay again.
