You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Banana Hale Garden Oasis Studio
Banana Hale is a lovely studio surrounded by a "luscious" garden. It's the perfect compliment to a dream vacation for a lone traveler or a couple -2 people max (adults only please). Located on the sunny side of Waimea. 12 minutes from the beach. 5 minutes to charming Waimea town and 50 minutes from Kona.
Banana Hale is a private entrance studio that is simply and tastefully decorated. Located on the dry side of Waimea, where you can enjoy the pink sunsets, rainbows, and usual starry nights.
Outside your door you will be able to appreciate the edible landscape which depending on the season produces a variety of delicious fruits and vegetables (bananas, pineapples, dragon fruit, oranges, cherries, watermelons, tomatoes, celery, etc... If you are lucky, you may see one of our two indoor/outdoor cats (Akamai and Santiago). If you are allergic to cats, for your own comfort, we recommend you find a different home. Note: the bed has a feather topper, so if you are sensitive to feathers, this might not work.

Great Spot
This place significantly exceeded my expectations. It was very clean and spacious. The owner was very communicative. I would definitely recommend this space to friends and would be happy to come back and stay if I ever make it back to the island.
