This property is incredible! Even the previous reviews didn’t prepare me for how wonderful this house is. It was exceptionally clean and so very cute inside and out. We were here for my wife’s 50th birthday and it did not disappoint. There’s so much to like about it. The design of the interior and exterior really make this house standout as a piece of paradise. We sat on the porch every night after activities on the island and relaxed while we listened to the sounds of the cloud forest (which, there is conveniently guided tours available 5 minutes down the road at Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary). The pheasants were adorable and visited us every day for a quick snack before going about their day. One of the days, we decided to travel to the east side of the island and ended up staying the night somewhere else. We could not wait to return to this property. It’s that great. It’s so close to so many things to do on the island whether it’s snorkeling, luaus, breakfast/dinner options or just Walmart. I can’t say enough good things about this property and I’m so very glad we found it. We were so sad to leave after a week.

Best choice by far! Thought the photos were beautiful but nothing compares to the real thing! Absolutely gorgeous in every turn and corner! Couldn't believe the view everyday! Cozy, comfortable, and great location! Can't wait to come back!

It’s very difficult to describe in this short space how special this place is. You feel like you’re in the middle of the rain forest yet you have all the amenities of a five star hotel. I especially love the little make up make up mirror (other VRBO hosts take note! ) Our host could not have been more helpful despite some miscommunication on my part.(thank you for your patience!!) she was helpful at every juncture. This place was a place that I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone that would like to relax, unwind, and just step away from the world for a while. My only regret is that we didn’t have enough time to stay there! Linda & Ron

This was a great place to stay. Clean, quiet. Tucked away but not too far from things we wanted to do/see. Great communication. Perfect stay!!
