We arrived an hour early, but Karen and Ron made us feel very welcome. The cottage is wonderfully quirky and very spacious. There is a spot where you can swim very close by, and from there views across the bay to the Captain Cook monument. We hired a kayak from a local operator and paddled over (about half an hour each way). Very quiet restful spot, with lots to do nearby. Would happily stay here again.

me and my husabnd fell in loved with the place right away! wish we could stay there longer~~ the place is beautiful and even better than the pictures~ we loved staying there so much~

We had a wonderful time at Kealakekua Bay. We enjoyed the open balistyled cottage very much - it is something special and adventurous - unforgettable! We liked the sound of the ocean and the closeness to nature. It is the perfect place to go swimming with the dolphins and to explore the bay by SUP or kayak. Karen was a very friendly and attentive host. When ever coming back to Kealakekua Bay, this is definitively our place to stay again. But if you look for a standard hotelroom... this is not your place. This is a real alternative gem! Thanks a lot to Karen - Mahalo, Andrea & Christoph

My mom and I were looking for a nice place to stay on the Kona side. Captain Cook is a relaxing and warm place to stay.

Our stay at the cottage was nothing less than spectacular. It was our first Airbnb reservation and we feel like we hit the jackpot. Karen and Ron are great hosts. The cottage is even more beautiful than it looks in the photos. It is very clean, well lit and private. Everything you need is there, and then some. The kitchen is complete with all the basics, the outdoor shower has great water pressure and we had hot water all the time. It's the perfect balance between rustic and comfortable. Karen and Ron are very knowledgeable and provided us with great recommendations for food, activities, and hidden gems on the Big Island. We are looking forward to stay with them again.

To be honest, I wasn’t pleased with our stay at the Bali Cottage. We booked in July when we got a great deal on a flight, and I didn’t see any reviews about the noise or mosquitoes. The photos must be dated because the yard is unkempt, and the cottage has spots of gecko poop on the lamps and such. There are large spiders hanging above the shower, and the mat you stand on while showering has holes in it that hurt your feet. At night, the creakiness of the tree that goes through the cottage is very loud even with earplugs in. There are little vases with flowers in them, but there are clearly mosquito eggs/larvae in them. Also there is a pond with standing water that I’m sure aids in the production of the tiny mosquitoes. This was a particular pain for me since I am allergic to mosquito bites. Despite using bugspray with DEET, I got several bites. The net around the bed helps keep the mosquitoes away, but I still managed to get bites from something on my torso. They definitely weren’t mosquito bites since I didn’t get the usual allergic reaction to them. The bay is quite nice, but there is no sandy beach nearby. It is a great spot to watch the sunset. We were not warned of a monthly tsunami alarm test, so when it went off on December 2 we panicked. After googling the alarm, we found that it was a test, but also found out that this area was washed out by the 2011 tsunami. In fact, this area was the hardest hit in Hawaii with 7 homes lost. The hosts were kind and gracious, but very absent, which I’m sure is fine for most people. Overall, I wouldn’t stay here again and neither would my fiancé.

We loved our time at the Bali Cottage. Karen and Don were amazing hosts. We ended up with a rainy few days, but were still able to enjoy the space, the beach access, and their sweet cat Purry.

This air bnb was totally unique and completely magic, like a jungle hideaway. Loved the outside kitchen and shower. Great snorkeling just outside the house. Look forward to coming back.

Eve was extremely welcoming and close by if we needed anything, but cottage was secluded enough that we had lots of privacy. We were surrounded by amazing fruit trees and helped ourselves to freshly picked tangerines, guavas, passion fruit and logan berries - so delicious! The pictures very accurate...the cottage was pristinely clean and comfortable and had everything we needed to feel at home. The locations was ideal, a few minutes to a cute town and close to the national park. The ONE thing that was lacking was the WiFi connection. I failed to read that there was none in the cabin. There was however access at a nearby gazebo, although the connection was not great. I would definitely recommend the Ginger Bread House. Thanks for a great stay Eve!

Die Unterkunft war traumhaft, Ferienfeeling vom Feinsten. Wunderschön in Maui gelegen haben wir uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Dazu beigetragen haben auch die grossartigen Gastgeber Eve und Steve, welche uns herzlich empfangen und alles genau erklärt haben. Den Schnorchelausflug zum Molokinikrater haben wir auch bei ihnen gebucht, was ein unvergessliches Erlebnis für uns war. Wir können die Unterkunft und Gastgeber allen weiterempfehlen.

Perfect stay- romantic, beautiful, peaceful. The cabin is stocked with all the necessities+ and we felt that Eve was available for questions, but also that we were left to enjoy a private honeymoon. we are definitely coming back. Mahalo, Eve!

This is an amazing retreat in the jungle. It is a great stepping off point to Haleakala, paia, road to Hana. Eve was a great host and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Maui. Make sure to take the time to experience the gardens and labyrinths.

The cottage was beautiful and clean, well appointed and open-feeling with lots of windows looking into the tropical yard and all the amenities one needs. (Microwave,coffee maker,hair dryer,fridge,rice cooker, blender, juicer, ample lighting options, and guest robes.) The trees and landscape and lush meadow provide amazing photo opps. The property includes The Sacred Garden, a serene greenhouse, shop, and walking labyrinths with a calming Zen essence, wonderful staff and smart African Grey parrot. We definitely plan a return visit in hopes that the stream will be running! Eve is a gracious hostess who responded immediately to every request.

We enjoyed our time at the gingerbread house and in Maui. Steve connected with us and was helpful with additional information that we needed. Bodhi greeted us within minutes. The location was perfect for us to branch out and explore the island. We also enjoyed our visit to the sacred garden

Our time at Eve's Gingerbread House was great. Even though we didn't meet her personally, Eve has been very responsive and very helpful. Check-in and check-out went absolutely smooth. You need to be aware that this is a special place...right in the middle of nature with humidity, animal noises etc coming with it, but we loved it very much. It is a clean, beautiful and very very cozy place to spend your time in central Maui with Road to Hana, Haleakala and North Shore surfing close by. Mahalo, Eve!

Eve's enchanted jungle cottage was amazing! It was just what we needed! The seasonal creek behind the house was flowing, the tangerines were juicy and ripe, and the succulent garden was spectacular! Eve has really created a special place with her creativity and green thumb! The labyrinths arranged on the property were fantastic for clearing the mind so we even bought a book Eve wrote about labyrinths. Thanks for the beautiful accommodations! Bodhi the dog is super chilled out and cool to have around too. Very private but not overly isolated. Perfect place!

This was a really unique and interesting place to stay. The tree house is amazing!! So well built and with lots of character and attention to detail. The hot tub was perfect and the outdoor shower was one of the best showers we've ever had :-) The owners were very helpful and left lots of nice food for us. Its in a perfect location for visiting the volcano and the local area has some nice restaurants Thanks again for an unforgettable stay!

MAGICAL! trip of a lifetime! We loved every minute. The kids haven't stopped talking about treehouses since our stay (and doing jobs to earn money to build their own). Everything was perfect. We were only staying a night so they accommodated our request for an early check in (and extra eggs). Directions were spot on. Walking the path in the rain to bring in our stuff was zen-like (we pre-packed the kids' stuff in bags so we could grab what we needed fast). The banana bread, eggs, fruit, coffee, cream provided for breakfast were awesome. The fridge is a big half fridge, not a dorm size fridge (you could buy half gallons of milk or juice). The freezer was good for ice packs but not very big (don't bring big tubs of ice cream). There is one induction burner that heats very quickly. Kitchen had everything we needed except a strainer and a covered sauce pan for cooking pasta - but we easily made due with a large covered saute pan. Filtered water is available for drinking and the tap water is fine for washing/cooking. We slept upstairs and our 3 kids slept downstairs on 2 twin air mattresses and a bed made of the two red chairs. The kids played Chinese checkers and mostly ignored the dvd player (they watched some cool lava videos). There are plenty of outlets on both levels if you need to charge something. The outdoor shower has plenty of hot water and is de-lightful (shampoo and body wash that are safe for the environment provided; lots of fluffy towels). Being there in the rain with the small stove on was so cozy I didn't want to leave to see the evening glow of the volcano -- but it is such a quick trip from the treehouse I'm glad we did go. The steps and ladders were easy to navigate by our three kids. They provide umbrellas and headlamps to use. The bathroom smells amazing - maybe it's what they add to the compost toilet to break stuff down or the lavender spray. Whatever it is, it smelled nice and it was totally easy to use the compost toilet. The soaking tub is bigger/more elliptical than it appeared in the website photos. It could fit 2-3 people. If we had stayed longer I'm sure we would have soaked in the tub everynight. Being in the middle of a rain forest in a tree house is pretty darn cool - I loved hearing the rain on the roof. Our stay was everything we expected and more. It was really hard to leave. We would live there if we could.

Loved our stay at the treehouse.

We are two writers who seek out travel experiences that inspire as well as allow us to actually write. The tree house was a home run on both points. We stayed at the tree house for three nights. A single moment captures the exceptional experience: On the first night, as we sat together in the hot tub, relaxing beneath the canopy, distant joyful singing (was it a nearby choir?) floated in through the rain forest. Our inability to understand the Hawaiian songs combined with the tranquility of the setting created an unexpected moment of mystery and beautiful stillness now forever etched in our memories. Here’s our lists: Top five things – the outdoor shower, the amazingly comfortable bed (slept so well!), the attention to both artistic detail and functional design, the proximity to the national park (five minutes to the visitor center), and the birds – colorful, sweet and perpetually in surround-song. Two less favorite things: the composting toilet and the dorm-style kitchen. For the former, to be fair, what off-grid experience (a very cool aspect of the tree house) would be complete without a composting toilet? And the latter, this was an issue because vegan dining options are sparse in the area, meaning, the ability to eat in would be nice. The size of the kitchen limits cooking to soup and items that require only a warm up. But the description Gail (the host) provides is fair and accurate (on both points), and the kitchen constraints, presumably, would be a non-issue for carnivores easily accommodated at the charming local restaurants. We recommend this tree house unreservedly. Gail was very welcoming, helpful and met us on arrival (and made us vegan granola!). Go on, be adventurous, have fun at the tree house. You’ll be glad you did.

This stay was definitely a highlight of our trip. We were unfortunately not able to meet our host but the arrival into the place was something magical!!! We made some nice heathly breakfasts which was delicious and the atmosphere in the treehouse was all round amazing. This is an unforgettable memory to make!

The treehouse was the most unique place I have ever stayed. We loved the hot tub, outdoor shower, fireplace, and waking up to birdsong in the trees. Though it is close to Volcano Village and the national park entrance, it feels very secluded.

Originally I only booked the tree house one night and added a 2nd night based off of Mahinui's recommendation and I am very glad we did. The tree house is in a great location. Super close to Volcanoes National Park. There is a lot to explore in the park so one night does not give you very much time to enjoy the uniqueness of this place. We loved staying here and would love you come back. Thank you for sharing your tree house.

My husband and I planned on staying at the Treehouse for 3 nights as part of our honeymoon adventure. When we arrived we were in complete awe. The structure and forest are purely magical. The hot tub was amazing, the shower refreshing, and I felt good being cradled in the swaying trees at night. Unfortunately, we had to leave after one night when my father fell ill and passed away. Gail was so compassionate and accommodating. We will certainly be returning to complete our honeymoon. I do wish, however, that we were able to give the housekeeper, Rose, proper gratuity. We left in such haste that we could not give her what we had planned. Next time we will tip doubly as this place is so well kept, we want to make sure to reciprocate with graciousness.

The Treehouse was great. The view is amazing and the sounds of the ocean were wonderful. Nice short walk to the beach. Everything was clean and comfortable. One note, there is no TV in the bungalow. After long days of physical activity, it would have been nice to have a TV to watch. Fortunately, there was wifi, so we were able to watch shows on our tablet. Overall, I'm glad we stayed here. I would highly recommend it.

We love love, loved it here. Sunset Treehouse was nestled in the jungle hillside of the most perfect part of the whole island. We really felt we hit the jackpot with this cozy little hideaway. John and the rest of his crew were so welcoming and made the trip feel like more then just a vacation. Highly recommended for those who enjoy being away from the bustle of Waikiki and appreciate watching the beauty of the North Shore, whales and blue ocean included, from their private deck, and waking to the sounds of birdsong and rolling surf. Stunning.

Sorry to have to resort to cliche: but I can only say its heavenly. It's like a balcony over sunset bay and has the most gorgeous view you can imagine. By chance, we stayed just those days when surf was up really high. We watched the crashing wave from our little terrace and really had to force ourselves to leave for some walking or shopping food. Inside, the bungalow is very nicely designed and equipped with everything you need. Whoever did the carpentry was a real master of his trade. As you are in the middle of a lush tropical garden, be aware of the buzzing fauna (i.e. moscitos) around. So it is a good idea to bring some "Off" or similar stuff with you... The 80 steps are a very good exercise - but it is not the place for somebody abhorring exercise. John an his people are very friendly and helpful. Wonderful hosts!

Great Location! The treehouse was a quiet escape from the buzzing of Waikiki. The soap that's bio friendly is to die for and the area is close to everything. There was plenty to do around the area.

My girlfriend and I just completed a full week at the Bungalow (with one night in the Temple Tree House at the start) and things were magnificent. It's a stunning property with incredible ocean views that will captivate your every morning and evening. As others have mentioned, there are a few mosquitoes around, but those were easily mitigated with some preparation (bug spray treated outfit and some DEET worked for us). The photos very accurately describe the bungalow and the stairs are real, long, take you up high, and excellent! It's a super way to get a bit of exercise during your stay. All in all, a terrific location and value. We would absolutely stay here again. ..and the dogs are wonderful! Very friendly! :-)

We had a great stay! Loved the location, view, access to bikes/ boards/ snorkel gear and experience of staying in a tree house. Would recommend this spot!

I only have one less than stellar comment about staying here. The good first = the grounds, and accomodations are beautiful. We stayed in the Sunset Beach Treehouse Bungalow the first night, which is at the top of the staircase. Anton who works on the property was lovely and helped us up with our luggage as it is a long flight up, but the views from there are stunning. The second night we stayed in the cabin. Again, the space is clean and comfortable. We awoke both mornings just to watch the sunrise. The cool breezes blowing off the ocean, so there is no need for AC but there are fans in each unit if you need them. We arrived several hours early as we can in from a different side of the island and unfortunatley I could not access AIRBNB to get the instructions on where exactly to leave my bad. I tried to call John, the owner, and he wasn't available. I did reach the property manager and he instructed us to leave it just inside the door of the main house. When I opened the door I could hear voices inside, so I called out and introduced myself. I inadvertenly interrupted the beginning of their yoga session. Long story short, I did not feel welcome at the residence. He did explain that he had family coming in during our stay which is why we had to stay in 2 different accomodations and maybe why the brush-off. Take it for what it's worth. Anyway, I left our baggage in the garage (not the entry way as previously instructed) per John and came back after the proper check-in time. Overall the property is breath-taking. If you are low maintenance and don't require much then this is the place for you. Its across from Sunset Beach and very close to Ted's Bakery. Don't bother with the savory food as there are so many better options close by, but definitely try the chocolate haupia pie. Decadent!

Wow...what an amazing view you have from the deck of this great little gem of a tree-house. Hidden in the hillside (we struggled to spot the tree-house when walking back from the beach), this place offers a tranquil escape and breathtaking views of Sunset beach. John was overseas during our stay but his son was more than helpful with any questions we had and helping us settle in. The place in itself was just as per the photo's a description and gave us a great experience during our holiday in Hawaii. Highly recommend this place, it's worth the climb up the steps to it!!

Amazing. Our hosts were very quick to respond and the whole stay was very smooth. The place is beautiful and has everything you need. Would definitely recommend.

The Pearl is perfectly located in the beautiful Ilikai Hotel right on Waikiki Beach. The unit has been nicely renovated and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. No worries with being on the 18th floor as there were several elevators so no waiting. Angela was easy to reach by email and responded quickly to our questions. We would definitely return in future and will recommendThe Pearl to our friends and family.

Great unit, as good as it looks on the photo spread. Very good location, walking distance to Ala Moana shopping center and Ala Moana park. WIFI works works very well. We will definitely book again on our future visits.

Thank you so much for making our first booking with AIRBNB so go smoothly. Angela & Cyrille we're so helpful and we're only ever an email away, such quick response times and always really helpful. The property itself was great, nice fitout and everything we needed to make our honeymoon perfect. Great location and the fact we didn't need a key was great for trips to the beach. Secure wifi would've been preferred but not a deal breaker, we'll definately we back soon. Thank you!

Excellent and quick communication. Very easy to deal with. Condo is tastefully decorated. Sheets and towels nice quality. Kitchen well equipped which makes minimizing eating out a pleasure. Keyless door makes check-in process seamless. No problems with wi-fi. Condo has plenty of morning light with city view. Wonderful spot to eat breakfast. Location is great and easy walking distance to both Ala Moana Mall and Center of Waikiki. Hotel has rental car agency right in the lobby which helps minimize rental car days and parking expenses. Modern Hotel next door has great dining options too.

Listing was exactly as advertised, close to everything and well kept. Enjoyed our time in Waikiki immensely.

The Pearl is a beautiful condominium at The Ilikai. It had everything we needed from beach towels to extra pillows and even a blow dryer. There's so many shops and restaurants within walking distance including the Ala Mona Center. The lanai had a nice view of the city which is nice at night with all the lights lit up. The king size bed was comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped for home cooked meals.

Staying at The Peal was extremely convenient and very cozy. The pull out bed (futon) was easy to put together and the room accommodates 3 easily. Towels, linens, kitchenware and personal wifi are included to make staying here very comfortable! Everything in town is within walking distance or an easy $2.50 bus ride (most bus drivers will give you a transfer for much longer than the 2hour time slot to make round trips super inexpensive!) Staying at this private condo inside the Ilikai Hotel means you have many resources of the Ilikai and neighboring Hilton Hawaiian Village (like concierge and bell service, pool and gym access, shopping and restaurants) right at your fingertips. Angela was an excellent host! All questions were quickly answered and she gave great suggestions as to what to see and how to maneuver around the city. My family had a wonderful Hawaiian trip and we highly recommend staying at The Pearl!

(URL HIDDEN)The location of this small studio apartment was much of its charm: We sat on the back patio watching the dozens of birds on the large palm-studded green lawn sloping down to the ocean and watched the changing colors as the sun set. The apartment was immaculate and well-appointed with everything we needed for our comfort and pleasure, and it's an easy and lovely drive from the airport, a drive that included a sighting of a little axis deer(URL HIDDEN)

This place was so lovely! I stayed with my 8-year old son and we loved it. Short walk down to the pool and the beach, and even a little convenience type store right by the pool. Secluded, pretty quiet, though there were kids above us that got loud a couple times. Great kitchen stocked with lots of tools - bring your own oil and spices to cook with, there was a couple things there when we stayed but good to be prepared. You will need a vehicle, as Molokai is quite rural and there's no public transportation that I saw. Even the towns are tiny and quaint. I didn't want to leave!

Everything was exactly as advertised. It was very pleasant sitting on the lani and looking out at the ocean. The apartment had everything that we needed as far as dishes, towels, beach stuff, etc... It was very clean and Michael was quick to respond with any questions or concerns. We also rented a Kia Sedona from Michael which he left parked at the airport so we could pick it up as soon as we landed. The car was not quite in as good a condition as one you might rent from Alamo but it ran fine except for once. On our last day, it wouldn't start and we had to get a jump from the friendly maintenance guy at the condo. After that it started up fine every time we tried it.

Everything was wonderful. The condo is located in a walking distance to the beach and have an ocean view. Michael as a host was great, responded to my questions and needs very quickly. We will definitely be back one day since we fall in love with this island!

We had an awesome time at Michaels place. Very quite neighberhood and good beaches in walking distance. The Studio is equipped with everything you need and was in a good condition. We would come back.

Michael is an amazing host and very kind!

The studio is in the perfect spot to watch the sunset! The island is small with great hiking and great views. If you are trying to get some peace and quiet then this is the island for you. Michael's studio might be off the beaten path but the island is small and easy to get around if you need to drive into town. I definitely recommend staying here!

Michael responds very quickly and is really nice! I stayed here with two of my friends for two nights and it was very comfortable for us, there were plenty of towels and the pots and pans are brand new. The condo is on resort grounds, they have a lovely bbq area, and the pool is great too! The view from the patio is stunning and I enjoyed the wild turkeys! The people here are really friendly, I definitely recommend a car for getting around though. Michael also rents a van to his guests, however the dates of availability don't coincide with the condo so if you want the car during your stay, be sure to ask about it before you book. Thanks for a great stay Michael!

Tuvimos una experiencia maravillosa en esta pequeña casa linda para dos! A pesar de que no llegó a encontrarse cara a cara Moana, nos hizo conocer la maravillosa Marla. Ella era capaz de decirnos sobre la isla y lo que era un lugar de visita obligada! Ambos eran muy sensible y útil para todo lo que pedimos! Frankie fue mi parte favorita de la propiedad, pero más allá de eso, hermosas vistas y vegetación !!! La ducha al aire libre era impresionante, añadiendo a la experiencia tropical. La única cosa que sugeriría es la adición de una pequeña unidad de aire acondicionado de ventana, como la casa se ponía bastante pegajosa en el clima húmedo. Más allá de eso, teníamos todo lo que necesitábamos! Gracias por la maravillosa estancia!

Este lugar es ideal para una pareja que quiere tener un lugar privado y lejos de los centros turísticos en Maui. Somos amantes de los animales enormes, cualquier huéspedes futuro debería ser así. Todo estaba limpio, y descrito con precisión. Esto era probablemente una de las más cómodas camas que hemos dormido en! Sin duda me alojaría aquí de nuevo!

Mi novia y yo disfrutamos mucho de volver a Hale Moana después de explorar la hermosa isla de Maui. Gran estudio en un entorno precioso.

Este lugar es muy bonito. Nos encantó la estancia aquí y tener nuestros mañana y tarde charlas con Marla. Los frutos de la huerta son deliciosos (nunca tuvo una mandarina antes). Los perros y los caballos disfrutan de Frankie la atención de los huéspedes y son muy amables. La próxima vez que visite Maui nos encantaría quedarse con Moana y Marla nuevo.

Nos sentimos como en casa! Nos quedamos de luna de miel a principios de octubre y nos seguro que volveremos. No nos dan a conocer a Moana pero María era un corazón dulce. Nos sentimos en amor con los animales y la ducha al aire libre era increíble!

Nuestra estancia no podría haber sido más perfecto! La casa es igual que en las fotos ... acogedoras, limpias y cómodas. Ya lo echamos Frankie el caballo y Weela el cachorro de usar. Se sentía como si estuviéramos en un retiro! Era muy tranquilo y hermoso. Absolutamente me encantó la ducha al aire libre! Nuestra anfitriona era precioso ... amable, atento y acogedor. Los árboles frutales eran una delicia. Sólo nos gustaría que nos hubiéramos quedado más tiempo. Es verdaderamente se sentía como en casa lejos de casa. Era difícil salir.

El lugar estaba muy linda. Pequeño pero entrañable con su ubicación. Es muy cerca de la muy buena comida y en un lugar conveniente no lejos de cualquier tipo de actividad es posible que desee. La casa también cuenta con un enfriador de usar, sillas y algunos equipo de buceo. La ducha al aire libre también es increíble! Marla es un gran anfitrión y crea un ambiente increíble! Tómese un tiempo para sentarse bajo las estrellas y jugar con el caballo y el perro. Me alojaría aquí de nuevo en un instante!

el lugar de Moana era el lugar perfecto absoluta para mi marido y yo para pasar parte de nuestra luna de miel. La costa norte era extremadamente lluvioso mientras estábamos allí, así que fue un reto conseguir alrededor, pero la cabaña era un sitio encantador de la lluvia. Moana había desaparecido mientras estábamos allí, pero Marla era increíblemente agradable y nos cuidaron muy bien! Las crías fueron sin duda un punto culminante de nuestro viaje, y la granja con la fruta fresca era tan grande. Sin duda lo recomiendo si necesita un lugar tranquilo para escapar y tomar el espíritu de Aloha.

Awesome spot , great hosts and relaxing place for s break . Can sit and watch the ocean for hours ! Thanks again

We had a fabulous week at your house with a stunning view. We enjoyed every minute there. If you are looking for endless walks on breathtaking beaches you are on the right side of Oahu.

House was exactly like represented in the photos. Our family was together and happy.

It's sad to say just a week ago I was sitting on the patio watching the sunrise and listening to the waves. Amanda was great about checking in with me to see if I was ready for my trip and to find out when we would be arriving. Any time you messaged her she would be sure to message back. She even left instructions and suggestions (check the coffee table), I accidentally covered it up but she came through and quickly responded to my inquiries The house was amazing. Very comfortable for adults and children. My parents praised that the house was very nicely furnished. They also said the beds were very comfortable. There were even toys for the baby to play with. You won't be disappointed if you stay at Amanda's! Thanks again!

We saw sea turtles & breaching wales from our patio. The duplex is fantastic & looks exactly like the photos. We zip lined, hiked waterfalls, golfed, & snorkeled our hearts out. The house is down the street from a beautiful point in a residential area & 3 houses down from a private beach. A spectacular public beach is a 2 min drive away. We were 5 min to Turtle Bay Golf, 10 min to zip lining, 10 min to botanical gardens and 2 min to Polynesian Cultural Center. There are not a lot of restaurants but the food trucks are outstanding & are better than most restaurants. We mostly did take out or cooking at home. The hosts were extremely responsive & we had no issues. I would absolutely, hands down recommend this place 100%.

Absolutely beautiful home! Great host.

My husband and I will long remember Sea Cliff House as one of the most relaxing places we have ever been. The views are absolutely stunning and the surrounding neighborhood is very quiet and lush with local vegetation. Stunning. The private beach is a very very short walk and we were alone most of the time. It was an incredible experience. The house close to a grocery store and dining options, and for those folks who like a little wine with dinner, it's a 5 minute drive to a store that sells alcohol (alcohol is not sold in Laie). This house is a short drive to all the best spots on the North Shore, but we found it hard to leave the house because of that killer view! One thing to note: This listing is a duplex. While we were staying, the unit next door was being renovated, so we didn't have neighbors. We wouldn't have minded if we did, just thought it might be worth mentioning. In short: if you're even considering this place, book it before someone else does. You won't regret it.

This place is spectacular. The pictures look amazing but that is nothing compared to how it actual looks. There is no way on earth you will be disappointed. For the quintessential Hawaii experience, I would 100% recommend this house.

The condo was very comfortable. Everthing new. Big kitchen, great bed. One night we watched a movie on Netflix. The pool facillities at the Cliffs resort wich you can use as a guest are also good, we went to the pool area twice and enjoyed the hut tub and the lounge chairs in th shade. Furthermode we made use of the washing machine and dryer, very convenient to have clean clothing after a week of travelling.

Kevin's condo was a perfect place to stay in Kauai for our honeymoon. Kevin has been the best host I've had on Airbnb and really appreciated his fast and helpful communication. The condo had a lot to offer with the updated kitchen and 2 bathrooms. Additionally, the price very affordable for the area. The speedy WiFi connection and the washer/dryer were a huge plus and we appreciated all the beach gear.

We had a wonderful time at Kevin's. The house was amazing and the cliffs always had some activity available. I couldn't think of a better place to stay for vacation!

Kevin's place is great! It's well maintained, with an excellent location on the North Shore. Make sure to explore the grounds -- there's a great common lawn area to sit and stare out over the vast seascape. Kevin was a very gracious host. He checked in to make sure everything went smoothly, and made himself available for any questions. Thank you Kevin for a fantastic stay!

Great communication throughout the reservation process and stay. Great location and the place was exactly like the pictures. Having Netflix was a plus when you weren't exploring the island. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful time in Kevin's unit last weekend. The condo is clean, spacious, and well-stocked with everything you need to cook a meal, or spend a day at the beach. The grounds of the Cliffs are lush and spotlessly maintained. We loved sitting out back on the little patio surrounded by rainbow gum trees, listening to the birds, while Nene Goose and wild chickens were playing at our feet. Kevin is super responsive and welcoming, and check-in was a breeze. We will be back. :)

Kevin's apartment was perfect. Our family of four got sick just before we arrived, so we ended up spending a bit more time inside than we would have expected. But the space was so clean, spacious, comfortable, light and airy that this was not an issue at all! Netflix service came in handy for the sick kids those first few days. The closets were stocked with beach toys, towels, chairs, and a pack-and-play for the little one, which was a nice bonus. Kevin was great at checking in and making sure everything was going smoothly. Would happily stay here again next time!

This was a great experience, my first Airbnb booking exceeded my expectations. Great location, great rate, beautiful views! Kevin was also really a great host. This is the North Shore's best kept secret.

The studio was immaculately clean and up to date. Great bed, tv and kitchen. Bathroom was clean and shower water pressure great. Lanai area was nice with two chairs and afternoon sun. AC and fans were quiet. Dominique checked in shortly after I arrived and one more time providing information on local events. Great stay. Highly recommended.

Very welcoming and personal host. Great location - close to a great beach to watch the sunset. Also, a short drive to cool snorkeling spots and great cuisine! Extremely clean and spacious studio.

Great place, great location, very helpful host!

The Aloha Studio was exactly as described and just steps away from a quiet and beautiful beach. Dominique was very accessible if we had any questions and check-in was smooth and easy. Kihei was a great place to stay for a more local feel with lots of restaurants, shops, and beaches, without being overly touristy. Dominique's place is very close to the bus and we enjoyed beach hopping using the Maui bus, thus saving us money on car rentals and time in traffic. The studio was comfortable, clean, well outfitted, and had a cozy private terrace. Dominique had lots of beach chairs, towels, snorkeling gear etc. available for the use of his guests, making it super easy to just go and enjoy the beach.

Wir wurden mit einem tollen Upgrade überrascht und durften daher unsere Urlaubstage im Sunset-Studio von Dominique verbringen! Es war sehr geräumig, top ausgestattet und sehr sauber! Auf der kleinen Terrasse verweilten wir vor oder nach unseren Unternehmungen! Die Gastgeber waren äusserst freundlich, zuvorkommend und teilten gleich ihr Insider-Wissen über die Insel mit uns! Wir haben einige Tipps befolgt und konnten daher etwas abseits des Massentourismus tolle Erlebnisse sammeln!

Dominique is really a GREAT host. He made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Dominique us easy to communicate with and houserules are clear and easy to follow. Got great recommendations for hikes and much more. We stayed 4 nights in Aloha studio , very spacious and well equipped kitchenette, comfy bed, very CLEAN and the small lanai surronded with palmtrees is a very cosy space to sit and have your meals at. Great location minutes from beach. Nice neighbourhod which close to everything to other beaches in Kihei and Wailea. We highly recommend staying with Dominique.

Dominique was a great host and really made me feel welcomed. The accommodations were neat and clean. I really enjoyed waking up early in the morning, walking across the street and being able to see the beach and very few people. I also liked walking around in the morning and seeing the neighborhood and locals interacting. I used the place as a personal retreat--the porch with the lush foliage was a nice touch.

Sehr schönes und geräumiges Studio an guter Lage. Dominique ist sehr freundlich und gibt gute Tipps für Aktivitäten. Einziger Nachteil: Es ist sehr ringhörig. Je nach Nachbarn ist es sehr laut.

Great location, great room, and great host. We really enjoyed staying here during our time in Princeville.

This is THE location when staying in Princeville. Ted sent text messages one week before our trip, when we arrived, and even one day, when it rained, gave us some rainy day suggestions. Very helpful. The condo is nice and in a great location. It is clean, new, spacious with a large shower, and plenty of beach gear to use while there. It was hot and humid when we were there (middle of July) and there was not an air conditioner so it was a bit warm and sticky during the day. At night the ceiling fans and island breezes cooled us off. This also meant our wet clothes and towels had a hard time drying. You may ask for a nearby dryer, we just made due which was fine. In all, we would highly recommend this condo and Ted as a host for your Kauai stay.

We had a wonderful time! The place was clean, quite, comfy, and had a lovely view of the mountain from the balcony with a nice secluded feel. Teddy gave us great instructions that made everything very easy for our stay.

cute little wpot. very clean. close to attractions.

My husband and I found Ted's place in Princeville the perfect place for our stay on the North Shore. We had a short walk to Hideaways Beach and just a 5-10 minute drive to Hanalei, where we spent much of our time.

Everything was exactly as expected, and we were very happy to see our lodging for 2 nights when we entered the apartment. The shower is HUGE and felt great to use after a few nights of camping prior to arriving. There are so many linens provided Cable and internet were a great addition The location can't be beat, 0.5 mile walk to the St. Regis/Beach for fantastic drinks and dinner. Make sure to check out Hanalei bay for breakfast lunch or dinner.

Teddy gave us great suggestions for things to do.

We had an amazing time at Teddy's apartment. The location was an easy walk to Hideaways Beach, St. Regis for a sunset, and Queen's Bath. It was also an easy drive to all the food and beach in Hanalei. The apartment had a quiet balcony and an internet-connected TV if you wanted to watch Hulu or Netflix at night. Teddy was responsive and check-in was easy. Kauai was the best island trip we've taken, couldn't recommend it enough.

Jays place is exactly like the pictures and the view is amazing! It was great being away from the main tourist spots but close enough to drive to restaurants. We would recommend this place to our friends

We had a fabulous stay at Jay's place. We arrived early but the cleaner was lovey and let us drop our bags off. She also gave us all the local tips which was so helpful. My husband and I loved the ocean front views, just incredible! The sunrises/sunsets and balcony area were awesome. We loved falling asleep every night to the sound of the waves. The bed was comfy and the wifi fast. Location was perfect! Thank you so much Jay!!!

Wonderful with amazing view. Everything was organized and clean. It was exactly as decribed and truly a great first Airb&b experience!!

Awesome view. There was a family of sea turtles outside the room at 3 pm. You can hop in and snorkel with them.

Spot-on description. Really clean, really helpful guy as he responded to all emails! Saw the turtles passing everyday !

Jay's place has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Waking up every day to an oceanfront view is spectacular :) He provides all the essentials to make yourself at home, we stayed in one night (after a fun day of snorkeling!) and it was relaxing! We went to Costco and stocked up and food/wine and it was perfect. We enjoyed gazing at the ocean and seeing a family of sea turtles hanging out every morning, that was the best! My husband and I really liked the location, it's close to stores, beaches, etc. We did rent a car because we wanted to explore as much as possible while we were there. Overall, I would recommend this place. Jay is also very responsive which we appreciated a lot.

Host (Jay) was very responsive, lots of email followup, keen to make sure we had a good time. Property was exactly as billed. Cozy, right on the water, beaches short walk either way. Everything you need to hang out in Maui. Area was great, recommend both Maui Brewing and Sushi place nearby. Leave the door open at night for great surf sounds. Thanks!

We stayed for a week in Jay's apartment and loved every minute. It was very clean, comfortable and we spent a lot of our time on the balcony watching sea turtles, whales and dolphins. It was very peaceful and a short drive to Whalers Village where there are lots of restaurants and shops. Jay was very responsive right from the start and gave recommendations which were very helpful. We'd stay here again if we returned. The apartment came with everything we needed to cook and also beach equipment (snorkels, cool bag, towels) which was great!

Communication with host was good and check-in was easy. Apartment was as described and within walking distance to many shops and restaurants.

Condo was nice and close to the beach, shopping etc... Dana was very accommodating as well. Would definitely stay again!

Dana is an absolute gem to work with. She was very detailed and available to answer any questions we had. Clean apartment located centrally to lots of places to eat and everything else you could need.

We had a nice one night stay at Dana's studio apartment. It was very small but was kept clean and was walking distance to the heart of Waikiki. Just know that there is no wall or door dividing the main area from the bathroom.

Place is great! Location is perfect as it is an easy walk to anything you need to see/do in Honolulu. I'd highly recommend staying here to anyone!

This listing is LEGIT. the room looks exactly the way the pictures portray. it's very cute inside, and exactly what my husband and i needed for a couple of nights. The A/C kept us cool as we slept. Everything was clean, and we slept comfortably during the night. Dana was very sweet, responsive, and accommodating. She met with us on time, gave a very clear description of how to find her, gave us our keys, walked us up to the room, and provided very clear/helpful instructions regarding parking.

If you snag this place you're lucky. It's super cute, clean, easy check in/ out. Easy communication. Within walking distance to shops/ beach. No need taxi. I'll definitely be back!

Looks exactly as pictured! A couple good restaurants around it and Dana was really nice!

El lugar era maravilloso. Me gustaría volver en un latido del corazón.

Hermoso lugar, no podía esperar más! Me encantaría volver. Además de Thomas es un gran anfitrión y fue capaz de satisfacer nuestras peticiones especiales.

¡Reservar ahora! La ubicación es perfecta y no creo que u puede conseguir una mejor vista al mar en cualquier parte de Cordoba. El condominio es exactamente como se ha representado y la ubicación es bastante central a todas partes de la isla. Por el precio es una ganga! Nuestros amigos en las cuatro estaciones del año y pensamos que estábamos en un lugar más agradable! Además, la cama es de primera calidad y escuchar el océano cada noche, ya que fuimos a dormir no tiene precio !!

Realmente no puedo decir suficientes cosas buenas sobre este apartamento y este host. Todo estaba exactamente como aparece, y Thomas fue claramente por encima y más allá para hacer que nuestra estancia sea cómoda. El apartamento se sentía grande de lo que parecía en las fotos, también. Entrar en el apartamento era muy conveniente, y el estacionamiento siempre tenía un montón de espacios para nuestro coche. Muy convenientemente situado a poca distancia de muchas tiendas y restaurantes, y podríamos fácilmente a pie a una de las mejores playas de Maui! También nos pareció muy céntrico para moverse en Maui. Nos encantó, y sin duda me alojaría de nuevo si estamos suerte de volver a Maui! Gracias Thomas!

El apartamento es perfecto para una pareja que le gustaría explorar Maui debido a su ubicación central en Kihei. El apartamento es muy limpio y bien equipado. Además, la ubicación hace que es fácil llegar a restaurantes de la zona, playas y tiendas de comestibles a pie en un par de minutos. Por desgracia, el internet no funcionaba bien durante nuestra estancia. De todas formas, tuvimos un gran tiempo en el apartamento de Tom y sin duda recomiendo este lugar y me encantaría volver! Gracias por tenernos Tom!

Thomas era un anfitrión extraordinario! Estaba disponible en nuestro momento de la reserva todo el camino hasta que nos fuimos. El apartamento en sí era exactamente como se veía en las fotos - en realidad era aún mejor cuando estás allí en persona. La vista desde el patio era impresionante y la ubicación era perfecta. Muy recomendable, sin duda me alojaría aquí de nuevo!

Thomas hizo que nuestra experiencia de Maui todo lo que esperábamos. Su apartamento está situado cerca de la playa, bucear lugares, restaurantes, alquiler de surf, mercados, tiendas y mucho más. Pudimos recorrer fácilmente toda la isla. Su apartamento es grande y muy limpia. Tenía algunas tablas de surf, sillas de playa, más fresco, y equipo de buceo disponibles para nosotros. Incluso locales de chocolate de Maui estaban esperando para nosotros a nuestra llegada día. Reservamos en vez desde el principio, pero Thomas siempre estaba disponible de inmediato cuando les enviamos, respondió a nuestras preguntas, e incluso nos proporcionó una lista de local para-do de lo que podría navegar rápidamente. Él hizo que nuestra estancia muy agradable. No te decepcionará aquí! Muchas gracias!

Hermoso, limpio y tranquilo lugar. Gran ubicación central. Cerca de las playas son hermosas y restaurantes son buenos. Lugar estaba equipada con todo lo necesario para cocinar y para disfrutar de la playa. Lavandería era muy útil. Volvería de nuevo.

Lovely beach cottage right on the beach with well equipped kitchen. Comfortable bed in the main bedroom.

We loved the Pipeline solar home. If you are into old school Hawaii/North Shore, historic preservation, eco-tourism, magestic ocean views and just plain relaxing then this is for you. The kids would walk 3 blocks to the skate park every day and everything we needed was in close proximity. We want to come back ASAP!

Meleana was a punctual and extremely accommodating host! Everything was exactly as advertised on the listing, it was an amazing place. My Family and I had one of the best family vacations ever staying at Melana's home. I highly recommend anyone wanting to stay on the North Shore of Oahu to stay at this place!

What a wonderful time we had at Meleana's Beachfront Pipeline Solarhouse. Just an amazing tine was had with the family in what was a back to basics beach holiday - just the best. Mele was the perfect host - available when needed with great local advice. Just the best and we hop to be back! A++

Perfect Place, perfect host, hard to leave, definitely going back! Meleana was very responsive and provided additional assistance in finding activities while we were there. The Judd's organic farm across the street has great food for those who like to eat in.

This is a beautiful and charming cottage on an amazing stretch of beach on Oahu's north shore. The entire back wall of the house is comprised of windows, creating amazing views from most of the spaces. We loved the indoor/outdoor space and enjoyed most meals on the deck while watching the surfers and in the evenings, the sunset. A perfect cottage for a relaxing visit to the north shore!

Meleana is a very friendly host, and the place is in a wonderful location. The house was cozy, but not very clean. There were a lot of bugs- roaches, mosquitos, etc. This place is OK as long as you have minimal comfort requirements. I would not have minded if the price were lower. For 3 people, we paid $450 a night. For that price, I would have preferred to stay in a resort.

Where do you begin to describe what a terrific place this is? If I had a beach house/surf shack on the beach, THIS would be my dream. I am a stylist/designer from NYC originally, and this place has all the bells and whistles of a perfect beach vacation spot. And to know this is the 50 yard line for the surf contest on the winter is amazing! The original materials of coconut wood and bamboo lattice walls made this cottage so vacation like...Not like renting someones house!! A little paradise on the best beach. As for Meleana, she is a gem. Totally available for anything you need ASAP and quite a sweet gal with her little gorgeous surfer baby who enchanted me with her blue eyes. Just a terrific stay, would come back again and again.

El departamento muy lindo, cómodo y con una maravillosa vista. Dana nos dio muy buenas indicaciones para nuestra llegada y estadia y nos permitió realizar el check out a las 18.00 hs, por lo que pudimos disfrutar un dia más en el paradisiaco Hawaii.

Location, accommodation, facilities exceeded expectation. Good value. Will revisit in future.

Great views and location in Waikiki. Surf just at the door! Yarden provided lots of really helpful information that made check in easy and gave us lots of ideas for our stay. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful stay in the beautiful apartment. The location was perfect for us - away from the mega-touristy part of Waikiki beach but still only a short walk away from all the action. The Friday night fireworks were enjoyed on the balcony and the view we woke up to each morning is something we wont forget in a hurry. The apartment is close to lots of great restaurants, shopping and stores. We really appreciated all the little touches that made this place feel like our home away from home, not just another hotel. Thanks for a great stay!

This condo at Illikai Hotel is clean, neat , well-decorated and cozy. The kitchen is fully equipped. The ocean view from the balcony is slighly blocked by a tall building on the left side. The hotel is not located on Waikiki main drag but the bus stop to the area is just right outside the hotel. There're two ABCs stores nearby as well. It was a pleasant stay for us.

Had a great 2 nights here at the Ilikai! The apartment had everything we needed, it was very clean and comfortable. Kitchen was fully equipped and could have cooked here had we more time. Bathroom very clean, plenty of beautifully white very soft fluffy bath towels. Good shower pressure. Nice to sit out on Balcony in the afternoon watching people swim and paddle in the lagoon and even people doing yoga on stand up paddle boards! Beds were slighty smaller than I was expecting from the photos, however photos can be deceiving and it was not an issue at all. Good location, highly recommend.

My wife and I spent a large portion of our honeymoon here. It was a wonderful experience that I will heartily recommend to anyone I can! The place was furnished in a way that made it seem much larger than the pictures and the view was spectacular! Yarden was extremely helpful with information about the area. We found ourselves within walking distance of everything she recommended. She saved us a ton of time and money. We couldn't have anticipated a better experience!

I have spent the second time in Yardens wonderful home - and I can always say: I would love come back again! The atmosphere, all the informations we have got from Yarden to make us feel like at home made our vacations in Honolulu again unforgetable. Mahalo so much, Yarden!

Un sitio magnifico para alojarse en Hawaii en todos los aspectos. A un paso de una preciosa playa y muy cerca de restaurantes y supermercados. El interior del apartamento esta decorado con mucho gusto. Es pequeño pero espacioso y con todo lo necesario para estar confortable. El jardin privado con barbacoa completa las carencias de una cocina un tanto justa si la intencion es cocinar a diario como era nuestro caso. Perfecto!

If you're staying in Kailua, by all means, stay here. We spent a week and cannot overstate what a beautiful place this is. This little cottage is located steps from the beach and practically next door to a great local market with wonderful coffee and delicious breakfast and lunch items prepared to order from the counter. But you never hear a peep from the market. Perfect location. Cheri and Scott are completely charming and Cheri makes sure that you have everything you need. In advance, she sends an excellent list of things to do/places to go as well as directions to the bungalow. Then she meets you as you arrive and shows you everything you need to know about the place. Great communication before and during your stay. The cottage is lovely with a very comfortable queen size bed and excellent pillows of two varieties. The bath is small, but well organized with a nicely tiled shower and shelves next to the sink to put all your toiletries. The kitchen is ample with a nice sized refrigerator and plenty of counter space. You could easily cook dinner here, but we were on vacation, so we didn't. Off the kitchen, there is a great little room with a twin bed made up into a daybed with lots of pillows and a huge window that looks out over the private garden space and fountain. That was my reading spot every day. The private garden is all yours and just lovely with comfortable chairs and ottomans - it's a tropical paradise. The whole place is pretty and thoughtfully decorated. It is cozy but not cramped. It has three huge closets with plenty of room for everything so you can get your luggage out of the way. It comes stocked with everything you would need for your beach vacation. Big TV with HBO and wifi - reception was great. Has AC but we used fans, which were fine. Thank you Cheri and Scott!

We would definitely go back to Cheri and Scott's beautiful bungalow! Not only is the property beautiful beyond belief, Cheri and Scott's kind hospitality really made our week there a memory that we will always cherish. And yes, the place is just as unreal as it appears in the pictures. Being just a few steps from the beach made this the perfect location for us. Just a terrific experience!

Cheri and Scott welcomed us warmly with a basket of goodies (Kona coffee, bananas from the garden, and chocolate bar). The location is perfect and access to the beach is by their back door. The garden is absolutely lush and beautiful. There is absolutely attention to details everywhere by Cheri and Scott.

If you are reading this and Cheri and Scott's beach bungalow is still available for the dates you'll be in Hawáii, stop reading and request their place to stay! You will NOT be disappointed with anything about their place. You'll be out of the hustle and bustle of Oahu. You'll be 100 feet from one of the nicest beaches in the world. You'll have your every need already anticipated by Cheri and Scott. You will think you'd died and gone to heaven. Cheri, thank you so much for making our Oahu leg of our trip to Hawáii thee best stay ever. When we come back (and we will be coming back) I can only hope your bungalow is still available for us. You have a very special place and you are the best host I've ever met so far in my travels. You are a "natural." Thank you for everything! Aloha and Mahalo. Daniel & Colleen

Cheri and Scott were the nicest Airbnb hosts we could have asked for and they made our honeymoon perfect! The bungalow was paradise in the garden with the secret path to the beach. We loved staying here so much. If you are looking through all the gorgeous places in Hawaii and trying to decide where to pick, trust me, you've found the one! Can clearly see why they have 100+ 5* reviews. Thanks so much again! X

Oh what a wonderful stay we had. The Bungalow itself is very nice and we especially enjoyed our time in the garden and at the beach (which is just across the Bungalow) Cheri and Scott were very caring hosts and had helpful tipps for our stay in Oahu. Their surprise for us to mark our honeymoon was so thoughtful and made the start of our stay just as more felicitous.

I would describe this stay as the perfect stay. We really enjoyd the secluded part and the closness to the perfect beach. Cheri is the perfect hostess and she made us feel so welcome!
