Our stay in Hawaii was absolutely magical. Having this lovely lil bungalow that includes a kitchen, laundry and beach front access was the perfect home base for all of our adventures. Hosts communicate really well and give great tips for local finds!

This was such a beautiful piece land and it was perfect for our honeymoon location on the island. We are already planning on a return trip with friends and renting the main house with the pool. Someday we want to even move to this island and live in paradise for forever.

Great private location, quiet and beautiful place to relax but close to activities. We cooked most of our meals there in the little kitchen which provided most of the essentials. The washer and dryer was perfect for our week stay. The room stayed cool with the extra fans. We definitelywill be returning.

The stay was amazing!! Very private and well kept. Amenities were very sufficient for our needs. The views from the back of the property are spectacular. We were able to see whales and spinner dolphins from the ledge, which only added to our experience on the island. The communication and access to the property was excellent and easy. We came in well after hours due to our flight and the directions were very easy to follow and put us at ease trying to locate everything. Thank you so much for hosting us on this trip to Hawaii we will definitely share your home with our family and friends. Can’t wait to come back for another visit.

The property is impressive and breathtaking. Directly behind it is huge cliffs overlooking the ocean. We saw several whales back there. You walk through their deep (acres) backyard and come out to this shaded oasis. Be aware there is no beach access, you are on a cliff with no beach. Below the water rages on a rocky shore. This area is rural and you likely won’t see anyone else back there. This place is extremely secluded, safe and peaceful. There is a gate to the community and another gate to the property. The studio above the garage is cute and comfy. It has all the basics. The bed was extremely comfortable. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.
