Our stay at Kīlauea Lakeside Estate was absolutely magical! From the moment we booked, the host Steve was in touch with helpful recommendations and a wealth of information about the area and his beautiful property. The description and pictures online pale in comparison to how idyllic the spot is in person. The property is massive and is filled with beautiful plants and fruit trees, birds, and other wildlife. It's like the garden of Eden. And the home is spacious, well appointed, and very comfortable for a family. We loved the spa like primary suite and bathroom, the resort style saltwater pool and hot tub tucked away in a jungle like setting, and the gorgeous viewsfrom every window. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and there wereplenty of beach supplies for our days at Anini and Hanalei Bay. We enjoyed delicious meals in Kīlauea, Kapaa and Hanalei and the home is perfectly situated for exploring beautiful Kauai. The host was helpful but not intrusive and we were delighted to learn that the profits from our stay go to support local charities. The groundskeeper kept us stocked in fresh fruit from the banana, star fruit, grapefruit and avocado trees, and we had so much fun playing games and watching movies in the comfortable, spacious family room. The sounds of the rain, breeze, wandering chickens and other wildlife through the many windows were the perfect accompaniment to our stay in paradise. One of the best vacation rentals we have ever stayed in!

There aren’t enough words to say how great this stay was. This was my family’s first Christmas on vacation, and we were looking for someplace tropical and secluded but within a short drive to shopping, food, and activities. The location is great, and we took short trips during the week to see the whales from the overlook near Kilauea Lighthouse (we saw lots), swim on Anini Beach (protected by a reef and full of turtles), and eat/shop in Hanalei (easy to spend the day here). Steve recommended all those activities and was just a fantastic host. He was always available/responsive and that really made the whole trip stress-free. The property itself is gorgeous. It’s large and covered in flowers and fruit trees. Since it’s a nature preserve there’s plenty of birdwatching to be done, especially by the lake. The pool complex is beautifully designed with a waterfall grotto, lots of flowers and monstera leaves overhanging, and drains via a cascading stream. The hot tub is a treat as well. It’s built into the rock formation next to the pool and has a floor made up of tiny pebbles. On a clear night with the pool area lights out you can see the Milky Way stretching overhead. Inside, the main house is spacious, clean, and comfortable. It would have been easy to spend the whole trip at the property swimming, watching TV, doing puzzles, and paddling a kayak around the lake. My family has spent the week since we’ve been back home wondering why we didn’t stay longer.

Absolutely mesmerizing. The listing doesn’t do it justice. A complete Hawaiian paradise! You will not regret staying here. The property is immaculate with wildlife and lots of diversity. The location feels remote without being remote. It’s perfect!

This property is the definition of paradise. The cool trade winds were amazing, there was rarely any need to close the windows. The location was ideal, a 10-minute drive to Kilauea, a perfect place to find restaurants. My 15 and 17-year-old boys spent their evenings at a newly discovered gym, Kilauea Phys Ed. We enjoyed hiking down to secret beach, then returning to spend time in the estate's tropical pool and hot tub. My sons and I cooked out on the grill almost every night.Steve was always available by phone to answer any questions or provide additional information about the property.
