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!!

The Promise Tree provided wonderful space for our family to spend time together while giving everyone their own space. The property has the feel of a lived in family home with all of the extras (beach chairs and umbrellas, coolers, water and yard toys, indoor and outdoor dishes) that you don’t often find at a VRBO. The onsite pool and ripe papayas were a huge hit with the kids. The location was perfect for heading down to the beaches and shopping or up to a little town and coffee farms. Be sure to look up when onsite! The wood beams and supports have beautiful carvings in them.

The Promise Tree is Exceptional!

We had a delightful week long visit with our extended family at the Promise Tree. the Property is absolutely beautiful with incredible gardens and a panoramic view of the Kona coastline. The various sleeping accomodations were perfect for our extended family and the five children in our group had a wonderful time in the pool, playing cornhole, roasting samores over the firepit, and looking for geckos and coqui frogs. The hosts were incredibly gracious and helpful during our stay, and are very generous with the amenities they provide their guests. Our entire family had a wonderful and memorable experience at the Promise Tree and we would highly recommend it for any extended family gathering.

Perfect!

Promise Tree is a beautiful compound. It’s rich with nature and has gorgeous views and clean and comfortable living spaces. Our group of 9 —five adults and four kids ages 6-10 — had a fabulous time swimming in the pool, grilling and eating in the open lanai, playing yard games, enjoying the birds and lizards, taking early morning walking through the large property, and soaking in glorious sunsets over the ocean. Promise Tree is even more beautiful and comfortable than the pictures show. Perfect location, etc. highly recommend. Also Esther, the host was very communicative and gave us a tour at the beginning which was super helpful. Be sure to check out Hāpuna Beach and Kua Bay Beach when you stay .
