The Castle is a great getaway- clean, neat and off the beaten trail. Serenity of the waves crashing lull you to sleep from the carriage house or the suites. Near Volcanoes National Park and the lava viewing area in Kalapana off Rtes. 130/137. My sons and I stayed 2 weeks in the spacious Carriage House from 7/26 to 8/9/12. Hammock... More

I really wanted to like this location, but unfortunately it was a total flop! I read old reviews that said this was a great place. IMHO, those reviews are DATED! If you look at the most recent reviews, this location gets very lows marks. I now see why. This place has BIG problems. Not worth the money at all. I... More

I recently stayed at the castle and all is not well. The location is outstanding, but the place needs some updating and repairs need to be made. The pool and hot tub weren't working, the fan in our room was broken and remained broken throughout our stay. The bed was comfortable and the outdoor shower was fine, but the kitchen... More

The view from our room and the terrace was spectacular—a 10 out of a 10---but there was nothing relaxing about being woken up each morning somewhere between 4:40 and 6 by the clomping overhead (the owner’s residence). The bed was very comfy and we enjoyed being able to make our own breakfast and sit and look at the ocean. The... More

My 9th trip to the islands & mostly rentals. The Castle is the most unique! Much planning & expert craftsmanship went into this 'home!' John & Sheri are friendly, excellent hosts. Sheri is vibrant & on the go but makes her home, your home. Relaxing breakfast on your private lanai overlooking the ocean or out by the pool is wonderful.... More

Our stay at the Castle In Hawaii was one of the best vacations we have ever had. Felt like a king in my castle. Sorry Sheri had to be out of town, but John was a wonderful host. Great view, Great swimming spots of all types near by. Lots to do. Will come back more than likely.

My husband and I went to HI in Jan 2010. We were graciously received at the airport by Sherri. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets, wonderful day trips, our hosts went out of their way to make our stay effortless! We have traveled extensively and have never been to a place as beautiful, romantic and relaxing as the Castle. Exceptional service, excellent... More

M husband and granddaughter and I stayed for several days at this Castle in Hawaii. Complete with drawbridge and a dungeon...it was a fun spot to enjoy the Hilo side of the Big Island. The room was large and Sheri & John, the hosts, were wonderfully helpful and attentive without being omnipresent. We had use of a great kitchen that... More

We are so happy we stayed at the Castle In Hawaii… it was amazing. We would highly recommend this place. We appreciated the owners negotiating during their slow time so we could stay on budget. The castle is a very special place. The bed was soooo comfy and the outdoor shower magical. It was great going out with our hosts,... More
