Trying to find a place for 14 people ranging in ages from 2 - 86, is not so easy. Communication with the owners before booking the Promise Tree was so helpful! They got back to me so quickly! We arrived quite early, and Esther was kind enough to allow us an early check in. It was pouring rain and as we were trying to place everyone in the best rooms for our entourage, Esther came over and explained where everything was, and how things worked. The property is so big and absolutely beautiful! They have everything you will need while you’re there. Pack and plays, beach chairs, snorkel gear, even water shoes in sizes for almost everyone. Coolers, wagons, umbrellas! The pool was used every day, rain or shine!It was such a great fit for our large family. Thank you Esther for your prompt replies to my many questions! Your communication is stellar! Thank you for your kindness, and creating such a wonderful place for families to gather. MahaloSteve and Debbie Vega

It was a total dream! We had enough space for all 7 of us to have privacy & individualized comfort. Beds & pillows were SO nice I’m going to buy the same pillows for my home now! Everything was clean & delightful, all the necessities were thought of. Extra things were there, and just made it easy -Tupperware, coffee filters, laundry soap…Esther was a wonderful hostess!! We had a yoga teacher come every day to the house & had plenty of space for outdoor classes. The pool was warm & simply magical at night. Definitely a perfect place for a small retreat! I will always book this location for my future visits to Hawaii! Thank you again for sharing this beautiful home!!
