This charming tree house really is a place of dreams. The hatch door, windows, detail, and design makes this a very unique place. We enjoyed our two night stay very much. She is a great host and had some tasty treats for us when we arrived. You will drive down a dirt road to your own little rain forest! She makes a little packet for you with her reviews from groceries and restaurants to beaches and volcanoes- which proved to be very useful. We went to the Thai thai restaurant per her review and she was spot on! This place is a must visit on the island.

We loved staying in this dreamy and magical tree house. The experience was everything that we expected! While we may not go for this "rustic" and "off the grid" style again, we felt that Kristie and Guesty did a great job in conveying the information to us. We over-prepared ourselves for the stay and purchased extra waters and paper supplies... you do not need to. Kristie provided us with two large bottles of water, each, and everything that we would need to have a small breakfast on the porch. On our last night, a Guava tree fell down across the beginning of the road, so we got to meet some of the neighbors. They cut down the tree that was blocking the way, and were very nice to talk to. We did not use the swing below the treehouse, as the weather did not cooperate for that. Make sure to have a four-wheel drive vehicle to get down the road!

Our host Kristie was incredible. Before my arrival, she sent me a nice email about things I should know about the treehouse as well as detailed instructions about how to get to the treehouse. She also gave us some ideas on places to eat in the area as well as some places to go see. I couldn't have been happier with the treehouse, it was impeccably decorated and perfectly nestled back into the forest for plenty of privacy. Inside was clean and cozy and the bed was super comfy. This treehouse was one of the cutest airbnb places I have ever stayed with so many well thought out little details. It was so fun to here the tree frogs at night and relax on the hanging bed below the treehouse. This was the perfect place to stay for an adventurous and fun loving couple, we will definitely be back. Thanks Kristie!

This was just a magical place! The accommodations were amazing! The directions were perfect, just beware of the road leading up to the treehouse it is rocky, so just go slow. The bed is comfy, the shower is incredible, and the toilet with the sink as the bowl was the coolest!! You can see how much work and love was put into this tiny house. Towels, robes, shampoo/conditioner, brownies, and water was provided. What a great and amazing place! Thank you so much!!

The tree house is truly a dream -- it's very secluded, relaxing and romantic. We also loved reading the book about how Kristie built the house herself.

What an amazing and delightful first experience at Airbnb ! Kristie's tree house is a paradise in the jungle! The entire space is well thought out: the comfy raised bed, fun activities & books bedside, rain-forest style hot shower with a jungle backdrop, hearty snacks, ample coffee and the many amenities (including after sun care lotion). Kristie's tree house is the "best of both worlds" - Luxury lodging in a very private jungle. Location is superb being 20 min away from the Volcano National Park, as well as great choices of food nearby (within 15 min drive). Kristie provides all the info you need prior to arrival and I cannot ask for better communications. Stay there even if you only have 1 night in the volcano area. We are so glad that we did ! Thank you Kristie for building & sharing this wonderful paradise.

We had such a wonderful weekend at the treehouse. It certainly is "dreamy!" The location was perfect for exploring Volcano's National Park and the East Side of the island (that is, when we could drag ourselves away!). My husband and I tend to be go-go-go on vacation, but something about this place just makes you want to kick back and enjoy a good book and some solitude as well. Would recommend, 100%!

The tree house is truly a luxurious yet rustic experience. The space is incredibly accommodating for being so small- everything you would ever need can be found inside the tree house. Kristie even had water, coffee, and some snacks waiting for us! And the gramophone music player is so cool- we played hawaiian music all night while chilling on the porch. At night the tiki torches light up and give a romantic glow to the house which is really fun, but bring earplugs because the frogs are VERY loud at night! This was truly an incredible experience and I hope to come back! Thank you, Kristie, for creating a dream come true!!

We visited the Big Island for our honeymoon and could not have picked a better place to stay. Words and pictures can't illustrate how incredible the house and location are. Karen was out of town, so we did not get to meet her, but Ron was one of the friendliest people I've ever met. He gave us excellent recommendations on places to visit and where to eat, and he even brought us the occasional snack and a bottle of champagne the first night. The included coolers, snorkels, and chairs were very useful for visiting the nearby beaches. We also enjoyed the company of Purry the Cat. This was a concern as we are both allergic, but Purry just comes and visits at the front porch occasionally, and does not live in the house. The fact that Kealakelua Bay is right across the street couldn't have been more convenient, as it's one of the top snorkeling spots on the island. Overall our stay was excellent and there's nowhere else you'll be able to get such a unique and comforting experience. We wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you Ron and Karen for sharing your cottage with us!

Very unique and rustic ( in a good way). The cottage is very homey and cute, has everything you need and more. Gear for snorkelling ect. The outside bathroom with its surfboards is a wonderful touch. We enjoyed our 3 nights here and it's a lovely quiet location. Loved the Lanai/ kitchen and Purry was a fantastic host. Karen was also great and very helpful :). Now as many have said in their reviews there are bugs and geckos ( I loved watching the geckos) You are staying in a treehouse with open air sides and roof line in some parts. Did the natives bother us not in the slightest but something to keep in mind if nature is not your thing.

Karen und Ron waren sehr freundliche, hilfsbereite und fürsorgliche Gastgeber. Die Unterkunft ist wirklich außergewöhnlich. Die Einrichtung sehr individuell, anfänglich überraschend aber es ist alles da was man braucht und der Aufenthalt in der frischen Luft (auch Küche, Dusche, WC) macht immer Spaß. Zum Schnorcheln und Baden nur 2 Minuten zum Beachpark mit Liegewiese. Sehr ruhig, kein Shopping und keine Lokale; Erholung pur. Einkaufen muss man vor der Abzweigung von der Hauptverkehrsstrasse, sonst ca. 10 km auf enger Strasse zurück.

We had a fantastic experience staying with Karen and Ron. The Bali Cottage itself is magical -- open to the gentle warm air, full of light, shadow and warm wood. It's even better than the description -- falling asleep to the sound of the waves was particularly awesome. The nearby beach and park are also excellent, with some of the best snorkeling in Hawaii about 50 yards from the front door. Grab the snorkeling equipment and head out in the morning before anyone's around -- it's fantastic. And then there Karen and Ron -- the warmest most considerate hosts I've ever met through airbnb (And I've met quite a few.) Not only did they make us feel comfortable and welcome, but they also saved our bacon (some would say marriage) -- my partner left his wedding room behind on their table, and Karen and Ron were kind enough to meet us up in Kona to return it to us ... and then took us out to a great place for a Mai Tai. Thank you guys so much for the great experience!

Karen was there to meet us and provided good directions and quick responses to questions. She even came by to check on us and was a good neighbor. The house was very rustic, so you have to really be sure to not expect luxury and have some tolerance for a camping-like experience, with critters never far away. The furnishings were all very comfortable and had a "just right" feel to them. The kitchen is all there and usable despite being pretty much outside. There is a grill too. In many ways this was a best of both worlds, with contentedness to Hawaii around you while having the conveniences there for cooking and living. The location is unbelievably good. You are right around the corner from the beach (which includes a tiny sandy section...not a California or Florida beach by any means). There is a natural spring that makes the water slightly cool at the entrance and then you are out into very warm Kealekekua Bay and great swimming and snorkeling. You can hear the ocean sometimes but about half the time there is some loud tractor-like machine going (never figured out what that was) between the house and the bay that was not terribly loud but louder than the waves. The small neighborhood is very quiet and has nice houses and wonderful trees with fruits and flowers. You are very remote from any town or business. We missed the place as soon as we left and would come back again!

Our host was very accommodating about when we could arrive and check in was easy. The location was beautiful and the décor is just as pictured. There are nearby parks and a rocky beach that is good for snorkelling if you know what you're doing. Some of the best tourist attractions of the Big Islands are a reasonable drive from Captain Cook, but this is more a town for locals. Captain cook is not a resort town. This is in a more private part of Captain Cook, not downtown as the presence of parks might imply. There is a grocery and other shops within a few minutes' drive. The cottage was beautiful and private, although from most of the garden and part of the outdoor kitchen the host's house is easily visible. The garden is very pretty and well appointed with sitting areas and grill equipment. The outdoor kitchen is very usable and has most of the cooking equipment you could want, although we did have to wash a lot of things - as would be expected from an outdoor kitchen. The one thing the kitchen is missing is a freezer, it has a fridge only. Caveats, however, exist. The interior of the cottage is not separated by screens or glass windows from the outdoors. This means spiders, mosquitos, roaches, geckos (and this being a tropical island, there are plenty of them) and any other creature that can get in an open window can (and certainly will, if it rains) come in. The saving grace is the mosquito netting over the bed, which prevented us from getting eaten alive too badly in our sleep. Similarly, there is no lock on the door, so we were pretty nervous leaving our valuables there when we went out. It's very rustic. It seemed that the interior of the cottage had not been cleaned in some time as well. We found dead bugs, spider-webs, and dust on and underneath most of the furniture and my wife had to clean to feel at home. At one point during a rainstorm water started dripping through the roof onto my night stand. Lucikly, it was daytime and nothing water sensitive was there. I imagine I'd be pretty mad if my phone or camera or laptop had been placed there when this happened.

What can we say about paradise? We loved waking up to the birds and geckos chattering away. The gardens are beautiful, and the cottage is so interesting...you never run out of things to look at. The kitchen(although small) is well equipped, Karen and Ron have included all the details for a comfortable stay...beach chairs, snorkel gear, ideas for day trips...Karen and Ron are extremely attentive and very interesting! And yes, if you are a princess this might not be for you...we had some gorgeous spiders keep us company...we loved them, but others might not!

If your idea of heaven is waking to the sounds of roosters in the distance, birds chirping with joy as the sun rises over the mountain, beams of sunlight being cast through hand carved Balinese windows and luminous mosquito netting, warmth gently falling on your face, while plumeria perfumes the air....then this is the place for you :) Steps away from Manini beach where you can snorkel and dolphins are known to frolic in the bay. Minutes from renting a kayak to paddle across to Captain Cook monument, fruit trees and flowers everywhere, an open air kitchen, a shower on a bed of river rocks under the stars. Wonderful, kind and generous hosts who love the land they live on and love sharing it and its wonders with others. Swimming with the gigantic manta rays is nearby, mongoose forage in the foliage, geckos patrol the premises. It is a nature lovers dream. If the possibility of encountering tropical insects like cane spiders, flying cockroaches, or centipedes freak you out....start getting comfortable with them now, this place is worth it.

This was a gorgeous place to stay for our three nights in Maui. A great location to explore the island from. Clean and convenient!

This is the most beautiful little place to stay imaginable. The owners are so kind , helpful and friendly and we were so happy to experience a slice of heaven in these exotic and abundant surroundings.

We rented the Gingerbread House for five nights during our stay in Maui. The cottage is charming and Eve welcomed us warmly right away. The space had a variety of great conveniences (big fridge, microwave, coffee maker with yummy coffee provided.) The house was clean and well decorated. For a couple the bed was a good size, but not super supportive (if you need a firmer bed). Unfortunately, the week we were in Maui there was an excessive amount of rain resulting in a lot of mud on the property and a sort of constant dampness in the older cottage. The major problem was a lack of internet connection. There is a LINKSYS router in the cottage but it never had a reliable connection to the internet. I was able to load no more than a couple webpages at random in total. Troubleshooting/restarting the router didn't help. This was a pretty significant bummer when trying to plan your day before leaving the house since we also didn't have any cell coverage (AT&T iPhone 7s). According to some previous reviews this is a persistent problem. You could find it on certain parts of the property, but rain & mud made that a bit tricky/inconvenient. Of course, we know no one can control the weather, but if we’re being honest, it put a damper on our stay here, leaving us with a fairly neutral experience. That being said, Eve herself was a lovely host offering tips, helping deliver a package we had to have sent to the house and allowing us to do laundry. If you’re looking to really “get away from it all” the Gingerbread House is a great spot for you and it is conveniently located to the airport, Road to Hana, Paia, Upcountry and even the Wailea area.

The Gingerbread House is an amazing little cottage in Eve and Steve's island sanctuary. It has everything you need for a relaxing jungle getaway. You can tell there is a lot of thought put into everything on the property especially the newly renovated cabin. It sits on a sprawling jungle compound that has many nooks to explore. The house itself is fully equipped. It has a wonderful bathroom and shower. The overall space feels much bigger than it looks in the pictures. We met Eve for a brief time, but we could tell she was a beam of light. Her smile was bright and her laugh contagious. The property is centrally located and a quick drive from downtown Paia, Haiku, and Makawao. We have been very lucky with our AirBnb stays and this was another to add to the list.

Eve was an amazing host. Quick to meet us at the property, gave us pointers as to how we could maximize our stay. It was apparent that Eve takes a great deal of pride in the property, and without question this shows. The home was quaint but perfect for two. We treated this as a home base as we embarked on adventures on the island. We would stay here again, and gladly recommend others to do the same.

Great spot in upcountry Maui. My wife and I wanted a place that was away from the hustle & bustle of the touristy spots, which is exactly what this offers! It's an easy drive to any of the beach areas (10-45 min depending on where you want to go), and only 15 minutes or so from the airport. We would stay here again.

The highlight of our stay. Beautiful and cozy wee house, all the comforts we required, gorgeous peaceful jungly yard with wonderful strolling areas and a burbling creek. Friendly-neighbour chickens to share our afternoon lounging. Wholly secluded, yet only a short drive to central/north coast centres. If we return to Maui, timing will depend on being able to stay here again.

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!

The Treehouse is a very unique place! We loved waking up to the birds singing in the jungles, watching beautiful sunrises, and stargazing while soaking in the outdoor hot tub at night. The house is very neat and cozy, and it is equipped with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. Thank you Gail & Robert for all your kindness and hospitality!

This is one of the most memorable places we have ever stayed. It's exactly as described and has everything you need - wonderful to have so much privacy in the outdoors.

This place is absolutely fantastic! From parking and walking up to the property you knew you were in for something special. We arrived a little early, and Gail's husband was there putting the finishing touches on the place. He walked us through the entire property and showed us how everything worked. As a welcome gift we were given papayas, bananas, duck eggs, banana bread and muffins. Very thoughtful and even more delicious! He also gave us excellent advice on nearby adventures (volcanic crater hike, drinks at the inn and other nearby musts). The treehouse itself is an absolute dream! I can't express enough how much we love it :) The place is completely private, and you're really in the jungle. The outdoor shower and hot tub were both so much fun. We watched some of the movies and listened to a lot of the music they left for you. So unexpected and fun. We slept like babies every night on the super comfortable bed. In the mornings we'd open the double doors to the balcony off the bedroom and just enjoy the sounds and fresh smell of the jungle. All in all we loved our stay, and will certainly be coming back again! We stayed at a number of places on the big island, and this was surely our favorite! I mean who gets to stay in a plush jungle treehouse!? Thanks again for an amazing experience :D

Communication facile avec Gail. Location sortant de l'ordinaire

We had a great honeymoon stay at the treehouse! What a cool and unique experience! Great communication with the host before we arrived and the caretakers during our stay. I loved soaking in the hot tub, and we both enjoyed the outdoor shower, and dinner down the street at an old YMCA lodge converted to a restaurant. We recommend it. As others have said, it's a short ride to the volcano. My hubby had no complaints whatsoever; the only thing that could have improved the experience for me is nicer, newer towels and bed linens--then again, this is "glamping", not the Ritz! :) The bed itself was comfy. No problems with the composting toilet or steep ladders for us, but others should note the physicality required to stay here. Overall, we loved it!

This was the best part of my honeymoon so far! We love the treehouse. Great hospitality and very comfy. After long days hiking it was great to come back and relax in the hot tub. I had some of the best nights sleep up there. The treehouse has inspired us to build our own treehouse! Beautiful.

What an amazing place! We had such a wonderful time at the treehouse and loved every moment of it. The cedar hot tub was unbelievable! Much thought was put into every nook and cranny of this well-appointed space. It was one of the best places I've ever stayed anywhere in the world. We hope to be back next year!

Our host Rose was very polite and explained very well all about the tree house. She did very well communicating with us about the hot tub issues, and even offered for us to use another while the tree house hottub was being repaired. The treehouse was absolutely amazing. We enjoy the seclusion, and amazing jungle like scenery. Once we arrived I was completely relaxed. The shower outside was really neat, and had plenty of hot water. It was perfect after a day of hiking in Volcano Nation Forest. I though it was really nice that they left some breakfast item for us too. Overall, a wonderful place. I hope that one day we can come back! Thanks for everything.

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!

Michael's condo was exactly what we had expected! We were looking for a quiet weekend away from Honolulu and got just that. There were times when we had the pool to ourselves and the beaches were nearly untouched. Beautiful sunsets every night! Tip: You'll probably want to go to the store in town before you check in (and if you're arriving on a holiday, note that the stores will likely be closed).

We had such a lovely stay in Michael's studio on there west end of Molokai. The unit was exactly as depicted and described (better in fact, because trees is no way to capture fully that incredible view on camera). The studio is perfectly situated to watch the sunset, the bird life and crashing surf while trade winds keep you cool continuously. Michael was extremely helpful when we needed help finding s car during the busy winter break season and very responsive to questions. We can't wait to go back!!!

If you want to get away from it all then this is the place. The unit is thoughtfully stocked with everything you need. There is a cooler in the condo but I bought a cooler at the grocery store and promptly filled it up with ice and adult beverages! We arrived on Saturday morning and went straight to the Farmer's market which is right next to the main strip in Kalakakau so we popped in and out of the small stores and "talked story" with the aunties. Make sure to pop into the used book store. They have beautiful and very unique souvenir pieces and art as well as even more useful information about local highlights to visit. It took a couple of hours to do some window shopping because everyone is so friendly. Surprisingly, in this sleep little town, they have a great wine store! The condo is dated and the resort itself is pretty much closed and has lots of deferred maintenance, but the unit is self-contained and the view from the patio is fabulous. We spent many hours there reading and decompressing.

We are already planning our next trip back to Molokai and this perfectly situated condo. Michael's detailed "where and how" were easy to follow and right on. We prepared most meals in the the well outfitted kitchen and spent our early morning and most afternoons on the lani watching the waves crash on rocks and lap at the beach. There are many beaches and few people. This condo is also closest to a beautiful but little used pool. We used Michael's van. It has some island miles on it but no one will mistake you for a tourist and we thoroughly enjoyed seeing the island end to end in a very comfortable automobile. Michael was easy to contact and very responsive to any questions.

The condo was perfect for us: a great home base that was clean and well supplied. Plus, beautiful sunsets, sunrises, and a wonderful lanai to relax on. We had some issues with the van we rented on the side, but the condo itself was great and Michael was always reachable and responsive.

The unit is great and the host was great at accommodating us.

Excellent all around! The host was great at responding quickly when we had questions. The pool and beach are secluded and beautiful! The unit was clean and has a nice view. Note for first time visitors to the island: food and gas on the island are very over priced, make sure you budget for this. This unit is fairly far from town so gather supplies so you don't have to make extra trips out.

A magical little abode in paradise! Very charming and just as described. Unfortunately I only had one night here, but Sunset Beach and teh surfers were great and I had a nice meal at Lei Lei's Grill up the road at the Turtle Bay Resort. Lots of great food trucks and had a LOVELY swim at Waimea Valley beach. Thanks and hope to return someday!

Enjoyed 3 nights in this unique & amazing treehouse while attending the Wanderlust festival at Turtle Bay resort. The treehouse view is spectacular & the accommodation is cosy with everything you need. John is a friendly and generous host. Recommend this spot to anyone visiting the beautiful North Shore.

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! :-)

The treehouse bungalow is fantastic. You feel like within a jungle, hear the birds and the sounds of the ocean, with direct view on the coastline. It is great to watch the sunsets in the evening. A wonderful place to stay.

A great escape! Wonderful place. Secluded and quiet with only the birds and ocean waves in the background. Conveniently located not far from a grocery store and Sunset Beach. Highly recommended!

Treehouse just like the description. Short walk to the beach and very peaceful. good location am looking forward to stay here again

It's hard to climb up all 80 steps, but it's worth it when you see the view from the balcony. The room is small but it's very nicely laid out, and it's got everything you need. The salmon pink colour bed is the focal point of the room, and it gives the warmth and the coziness when you first open the door. I stayed here with two of my girl friends, and we had a great time relaxing at different beaches close by, and a little bike ride around the negihbourhood. Enjoying a home-made meal on the balcony with a few glasses of wine while watching the sun go down and birds humming was just heavenly. I highly recommend staying here.

lovely place and a amazing view!!

The apartment was just as described. the building was fairly old but Honolulu seemed pretty dated anyway. The apartment was clean and the bed very comfortable. We thought the window coverings were flimsy as the sun comes in the morning very early and makes it hard to sleep. Liked the location but a bit noisy.

We enjoyed our stay at Angela & Cyrille's place. It was true to the photos - extremely comfy and clean! We were also fans of the convenient location - right on Ala Moana Blvd, and easy to walk to Waikiki Beach. We definitely recommend staying here.

great location, clean apartment. Nice host. Thanks for taking us to the diamond head hike, Angela. We had a great time staying at this place.

Cozy, with a very good design, beautiful view on night waikiki. Had a good time having breakfast on lanai. Would like to come back sometime.

We totally enjoyed our stay here and give it a 5 STAR rating. Y ou will certainly enjoy your stay if you stay here when you are in Honolulu. I have to think that their other properties are equally as good.

Angie é muito especial eu e minha familia nos sentimos em casa. Voltaremos em breve

The room was awesome. Nice view and nice location. Our host lives near the room and they said please free to tell me whatever happens. So we felt relieved and we could spend relaxing time there. Thanks for everything.

The Pearl is a wonderful apartment, exactly as offered! Beautiful furniture, wonderful kitchen and bathroom, all in very good order! Just a few steps to the wonderful Hilton Lagoon, to the Marina and the Mall. Had a very very good time, Angela & Cyrille have been wonderful hosts, easy to reach, quick in answering.. No complaints at all!! THANK YOU! Will come back!

The house is simply gorgeous, spacious, clean, and well equipped. The host are easy to coordinate with and replies promptly. Would recommend this home and would definitely rebook.

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

We had a wonderful time in Oahu, and the setting and view of the house on the cliffs overlooking the ocean was phenomenal. We had to drive a few miles north to get to the best beaches, but it wasn't a big deal. We didn't actually use the beach nearby, but Laie Point is beautiful. Amanda was extremely responsive and brought us some extra toys for our 3 kids.

Loved the decks overlooking the ocean and gorgeous sunrise and sunset views!! The house is a duplex so you do have neighbors; this wasn't an issue for us, however, complete privacy would obviously be ideal. I would have liked AC, but with the sliding glass wall open and the trade winds, there was always a beautiful cooling breeze. Ceiling fans also helped as they were in each room. The mostly private beach just three houses down was an amazing little paradise in itself. All in all, we had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the local people and area far more than a resort full of tourists.

We were met with a smile and a box of chocolates. This cost them 10 minutes of their time and a couple bucks, but made a huge difference. Wonderful hosts!

very good view & house.

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%.

My family and I had a fun stay at Geoff's cliff house. Location was just amazing, the house is literally on the cliff and you feel like you are living on the water. The house has everything you'd need for a short or longer stay. It was great for us as we had a lot of children and spent most of the time in and around the house. Geoff was very quick responding to questions around the house. It is truly a dream vacation house and I highly recommend to anyone considering a special stay in Oahu. Thank you for hosting and hope we get to stay there again.

Kevin's condo is a fabulous place to vacation. Princeville is located a short drive to the beach, and only a 40 minute drive from the airport. The condo was clean, comfortable, and well equipped to make our own meals. My wife and I enjoyed our first trip to Kauai!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Kevin's place! The location was great and the services available at The Cliffs Resort was also nice to have! Kevin was great to deal with and always very quick to respond to any questions. This is a wonderful location on the North side of the island - close to all the restaurants and shops in Hanalei! We loved it!

My husband and I loved our stay at Kevin's condo! We stayed for 9 days and it was the perfect set up for us. The condo was well stocked and the check in/out process was totally seamless. The condo is very conveniently located in Princeville, with wonderful amenities available in the condo complex. We enjoyed coming back from our various activities around the island to take a dip in the pool and hot tub. The community is quiet and laid back, so we spent every night reading on the patio, and also enjoyed walking down to the bluff to watch the sunset. We only reached out to Kevin a few times, but he was very responsive and helpful every time we did. Would very gladly stay here again when we return to Kauai!

We split our time in Kauai between the South and North shores. In the south, we stayed at a hotel, and in the North at this beautiful condo. We've used Airbnb a lot over the last year, and Kevin was the best host we've had yet... great, speedy communication, helpful recommendations (including a handy map), and accurate descriptions of the condo itself. The condo was well done, spacious for a couple, very clean and very light and airy and the bed was extremely comfortable. We found everything we needed in the kitchen, and it was great that they provided a cooler and other beach gear for our adventures. Netflix was a bonus for relaxing at the end of our days. The location was a perfect launching pad for our hikes and beach trips in the North and East and less than a 10 minute (and gorgeous) drive into Hanalei, where we went to dinner every night and spent most of our beach time. Princeville is basically a huge "gated community" complete with golf course and entrance fountain, and while this isn't normally the type of place we seek out when on vacation, we found The Cliffs (the complex this condo is a part of) to be down to earth and it was very convenient to have a place to check-in, rent bikes etc, and a concierge. We didn't use the pool, hot tub, tennis courts etc. but they were all very nice and not at all crowded. Would highly recommend this place as a great place to call home while exploring the north... the Kalalau trailhead is a half-hour drive and all the best beaches are within 10-20 minutes away. It would also be a great fit for people looking to just relax at the complex and take advantage of the amenities. There is a large grocery store nearby and you're even given a discount card at check-in. We're very grateful to have found this place and found the price very reasonable given the amenities and location.

This condo was just perfect for my husband and I. It was close to all the north shore things we love most: Hanalei Bay, Princeville Foodland (their poke is amazing), and of course, all the amazing hikes. The kitchen was well equipped and worked well for hosting guests. The community BBQs are right by this condo and worked great. Having laundry on site was a nice perk and we also loved the beach gear that was there for us to use (beach towel, small ice chest & chairs). The staff were friendly too- we had a great time and will definitely try to stay here again.

Kevin was a fantastic host! He gave us so much great information about the Princeville area. We really enjoyed using the kitchen and relaxing in the lawn chairs overlooking the ocean. Really looking forward to going back!

Don't waste time searching. This place is PERFECT: Amazing location, big, CLEAN, spacious apartment with all the amenities you possibly need. My husband and I had a great time that we extended our stay for 3 more nights (even though we had to change airline tix, car rental, etc). It was so worth it. We stayed total of 10 days and we wish we could stay longer. Kevin was very accommodating and did whatever he could to help extend our stay and answered any questions we had. The pictures don't do this beautiful condo justice.

Clean quiet and scenic location. Enjoyed our stay at Kevin's place. Views of waterfall from bedroom and the sunsets on the cliffs were particular highlights. Would recommend for anyone looking for a launchpad on the North Shore.

We loved this cottage -- perfect location on the Pipeline to watch surfers do their thing! The deck is ideal and hard to leave...but great swimming is close by (Waimea Bay) and in summer there's good snorkeling at Shark's Cove (5 min on bike, or walk). Photos on site are really accurate -- but better in person. Listening to the surf is perfect for (URL HIDDEN) Ambien required. Clean, stocked w/everything you need, great outdoor shower with solar-heated water, fun surfing decor...Mele is a great host too -- check out the organic farm across the street. Hope to be back soon, miss it already.

There's no question about the view offered by this beach house. It's a beautiful way to spend the day and wake up each morning. The outdoor showers are great and the deck is spacious. It's probably time for this house to get a bit of tlc though as a few things don't work as you'd expect for the price and our early check-in request wasn't honoured fully which was a shame. The area is busy on weekends and the traffic noise is noticeable at night, so take earplugs if you're a light sleeper.

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.

We ❤️ our North shore house! We are a family of four and stayed here with another family of four, and also rented Meleana's nearby farm house for two friends in our group. This house is perfect, and charming and right on the beautiful pipeline. You could not ask for more epic sunsets every night, and a basically private beach that in the summer is calm enough for the kids swim in, and the perfect white sand as well. Loved the outside showers, and since Meleana has a farm right behind this beach house, we bought fresh produce, lettuces and avocados for dinner. One of the caretakers husband is a fisherman, so we bought the freshest Ahi from him and ate like kings. We truly adore this house, and realize how rare a spot like this is, and will definitely be back!

Thank you for letting us in your home to create beautiful and sweet memories! The views were breathtaking and the ambiance was very chill! Very close to the north shore food trucks and Foodland. We caught some waves boogie boArding and appreciated the equipment provided. Our four kids enjoyed everyday, especially greeting the cat and watching the dolphins swim by from the deck! Aside from the buggies, which are expected and we're well informed of, we had an awesome time! Thank you again!

We had a great stay at Meleana's place!! The location was amazing, right on the beach it was perfect. One bedroom is more private with a door and AC, we enjoyed this! Pros: Spacious kitchen, huge fridge Beach toys, chairs, umbrella AC in ONE bedroom LOCATION, great views Bluetooth speaker was great for the deck Lots of ceiling fans! Cons: 4 checked guests and only 2 beach towels and 3 shower towels. Kitchen pans have no finish and need to be replaced. Deck stairs to the beach were a little unstable and had a few rotted boards All it all - we had a great time. And we will definitely book this home again if we return to the north shore! With a few small improvements and a little TLC, this home is 5/5. Mahalo Meleana :)

Great place and even better location, looking forward to come back again!

Very cute spot w unbelievable scenery. Unit was well prepped and our host was on the ball at getting things set up. would definitely rent here again.

If your looking for a perfect neighborhood, amazing condo and breathtaking views! This is the right place to go. Worth every penny, it is close to many beaches, restaurants and markets.

Teddy's place was one of my best airbnb experiences yet. It was very clean, modern, well-equipped and really well taken care of. The location was great, and I really enjoyed the balcony view of the mountains and trees - a real treat to wake up to! Teddy was in touch regularly and had lots of great suggestions on things to do in the area, and checking in/out was super easy.

Our stay at this condo was wonderful. The place is a great studio-sized apartment, perfect for a couple on vacation (which was us). Teddy provided beach towels and beach chairs which were used every day! I can't tell you how happy we were with the location, a 2 minute walk away from sunset ocean views and a 10 minute drive down to Hanalei, which is an awesome little surf/beach town. The north side of the island is a great getaway from all the big resorts and in my opinion is by far the most scenic side of the island, not to mention having the best beaches. Will definitely be trying to get back and will look to stay at this spot again if possible!

Overall, I had a very comfortable stay at teddys. Huge, cozy bed with wonderful breezes coming in off the patio and Teddy was quick to respond and troubleshoot when the wifi wasn't connecting. Kitchenette with most of the basics for getting by without eating every meal out, however, BYO mug and bowl for your tea and oatmeal.

Great place! Would definitely stay here again.

Teddy was incredibly responsive and proactive for us to have a good experience, even before we arrived. He sent us a list of recommendations like beaches, restaurants, things to do. And we used his list as our personal guide on many occasions. He was very helpful over the phone, and the place was so nice. Exceeded expectations. Extremely clean, comfortable bed, and modern bathroom. Very quiet at night and a comfortable amount of space.

My fiancé and I truly enjoyed our time in Kauai. The island is magical! This was our first Airbnb experience but it won't be our last. We chose Teddy's Princeville listing after rave reviews and for location... And we're so glad we did. The condo was clean and the location was perfect. Very close to the St. Regis, Queen's Bath, & Hanalei. Teddy was very responsive to emails and also suggested numerous restaurants & activities prior to our visit so we were able to research and book reservations. Just a few things to keep in mind-- the condo is hard to find at night as the area is poorly lit. Once you're familiarized with the area, finding the place won't be too difficult. (This is something Teddy made us aware of prior, so it was to be expected..) At times parking may be difficult to find as this unit only has a visitor parking permit & those available spots seemed to fill quickly. Also, there was a coffee pot but we were unable to locate mugs, a wine opener without wine glasses and silverware but no plates... Luckily, there is a grocery store close by so we picked up styrofoam cups, but is something to take into consideration. Overall, we had a fantastic time and cannot wait to return!!

Mukava pieni paikka hienolla alueella. Rauhallinen, paitsi että kukko herätti ajoissa aamulla. Kiitoksia Tedylle hienosta viikosta. Mahalo!

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!

Great location and very clean and comfortable studio. It was perfect for our stay. Jay was very informative and responsive to any and all questions we had.

Great experience! Everything was described perfectly and the photos do not do the view justice. Jay was the most on top of things and very accommodating.

Stayed for five nights and it was better than the resort we stayed at earlier in the week. That balcony and constant view makes it! Would stay here again!

We had a wonderful and pleasant stay at Jay's condo. The condo was equipped with all the appliances, dishes, utensils, etc needed to cook a meal. The condo also had a portable AV unit, which was nice because it gets really hot during the day. The view is even better than the pictures. A bonus is that you can watch sea turtles from your balcony. The sunsets are also amazing. The fridge went out while we were staying there and Jay took care of it immediately. He even approved our request to stay past 11 am. We highly recommend Jay.

Great place! Smaller than expected but we were only there for 2 nights. Jay was very easy to communicate with and he was kind enough to arrange a last minute late check-out. Check in was VERY easy and there were no major issues!

First - the view is amazing! You can sit on the balcony and watch the sun set behind Molokai with the sound of the waves crashing down below. The balcony has a nice table for breakfast and 2 comfortable lounge chairs. Fabulous! The only issue we had is there are designated parking spots at the condo and someone else parked in ours. There are very few guest spots and they were all full. Despite it being late, Jay worked worked with us and helped us get settled for the night in a spot where our rental car would still be there in the morning! Jay said this had never happened before and was very apologetic and accommodating. Jay was a wonderfully responsive host! Thank you, Jay!

We stayed here for a week and the apartment was very nice and cozy - tucked away in a quiet corner in Kahana offering fantastic ocean views. It is exactly as pictured and described. Jay was very responsive and helpful throughout the booking process and the stay. Both my husband and I enjoyed the mornings and sunset in the balcony/lanai. We also saw turtles and the occasional rainbow. It is just about 10 mins from major shopping centers and beaches. The small beach next to the apartment was also fun to cool off on a hot day. It did get a bit warm in the afternoons (in June) when the sun shines directly, but this was easily manageable using the drapes and air-conditioning. Overall we had a great time and would recommend this condo.

we had an awesome time at this wonderful and so cut condo!!we highly recommend it!!Kihei is really a great place for peaceful and charming holiday!the condo is really good located to do a lot on the island!! it was an honeymoon and Thomas welcomes us so well even if he wasn't here!! thanks!!

The pictures of Thomas's Condo tell a thousand words. It is beautifully located, with everything provided plus more. We couldn't have been more surprised with the lovely appointed condo. We would highly recommend contacting Thomas and book to stay here in the future.

Thomas was an extraordinary host! He was available from our time of booking all the way until we checked out. The condo itself was exactly as it looked in the pictures - it was actually even better when you're there in person. The view from the patio was stunning and the location was perfect. Highly recommend and we would absolutely stay here again!

Thomas's condo is one of the most thoughtful and well appointed spaces I've ever had the pleasure of staying in. The amenities are all beautiful, there was a lot of thought and care in every detail down to the small notes for instructions. If you have the opportunity to book you should take it right away.

Absolutely loved the apartment. Definite 5 star! Beautifully decorated and comfortable, moderate space with a perfect view. Also perfect location for restaurants, walks and beach. Apartment had everything we needed. We even had a lovely gift from Thomas for our honeymoon. Thank you so much!

Thomas was an excellent and responsive host. Everything was meticulously prepared for us, and the space was exactly as described. Could not have had a more ideal experience. For the price, this is one of the best places you could imagine staying anywhere in Hawaii.

This condo was beautiful and with the best view it has everything you would need. Thomas is a great host and helped out a lot. You will be in the middle of everything it was everything I imagined and more. Will be staying here again when I return to Maui.

The Shores Of Maui in Kihei is a great place to stay! Thomas has ensured that your every need is met by providing all the basics and even other things to make sure you have what you need for a great trip. I fully recommend staying at this condo and with great beaches all within walking distance, it's a winning bet!

We had a great time in Kaua'i at John's place. This accommodation is perfectly located for day trips around the island and suits to young people. John is very helpful and friendly. Thank you, Adrian & Danièle P.S. We enjoyed a lot the daily fresh fruits from John's farm.

Wow! Where to begin. My parents and I made a split second, impulse decision to finally visit Hawaii. We searched for an adventurous family trip and stumbled upon this incredible, all-inclusive listing in the beautiful Garden Isle of Kauai. Included was a personal chef and personal tour guide. Immediately we thought this offer was too good to let down, so we booked it - unaware of how INCREDIBLE our decision was. Besides our breathtaking private Hawaiian retreat (a beautiful, spacious home with incredible mountain views on one side and the turquoise, shimmering Pacific ocean on the other) we were warmly welcomed by Chris - our adventurous, friendly, funny and knowledgeable tour guide - and Thaan - our down to earth, caring INCREDIBLE chef. Despite our vacation only being 6 nights, each day was packed with adventure and exploration. Each location that we visited was perfect for our abilities - we were once joined by an adventurous little girl and other times adults of various ages. Whether it was cliff jumping, swimming with Hawaii's endangered giant sea turtles, relaxing in Queen's bath, hiking the Napali coast, exploring the jungle to discover secret waterfalls, snorkeling with the wide assortment of tropical multi-colored sea life, walking to a beach with friendly goats (Woody and Molly), rope swinging into private swimming ponds, eating wild jungle flowers, sunbathing in privacy on a "traditional" Hawaiian cove, savoring refreshing shaved ice, viewing the Grand Canyon of the Isle (more breathtaking than the actual Grand Canyon), exploring the filming locations of Jurassic Park or adventuring with some of the kindest people, then Chris' tours with Our Beautiful Rock are for you! Now to the FOOD: Besides always having a smile on her face and kindness in her heart, Thaan (our private chef) is truly one of the best - if not THE best - chef we have ever met. Coming from 3 people that love food and try all types of cuisines that is saying a lot. Every morning we awoke to the smell of bacon, eggs, fresh fruit (from the garden) and coffee. It is truly shocking how every single dish that Thaan creates is so delicious. Our family, being big fans of Thai food, can safely say that Thaan prepared the best Thai food that we have ever had. (Be sure to ask for Thai iced tea if you want to try the best drink in the world) One morning we mentioned we liked Mexican food and for dinner we had basically a Mexican fiesta! You name it, Thaan can make it. During both breakfast and dinner (lunch was to-go while hiking / adventuring), we talked and laughed with Thaan and Chris. Although we entered this incredible adventure not knowing each other, after 7 days we departed as friends. THANK YOU CHRIS! THANK YOU THAAN! THANK YOU!

Chris and Thaan were incredible hosts/tour guide and made our Kauai experience unforgettable! I highly recommend booking with them for a one of a kind vacation experience. They were so gracious in making special accommodations for our short stay and packing in tons of adventures in 2 days! We never could have experienced so much if we hadn't been w/ Chris! He knows Kauai incredibly well and all the secret spots that take you off the tourist track and takes the experience to a whole different level! It was also so nice coming back to the house each night and having wonderful meals prepared by Thaan! Made a truly relaxing experience!

John the host was very nice and accommodating. He had to go out of town when we arrived but made sure we were taken care of. If you are looking for a secluded rural farm animal friendly place on the North East side of the island than this place is for you. The place was clean and had all the basic amenities. I have to note some heads up for future renters. Some of the pictures are misleading: The home is basically a studio/hotel room. The bathroom/toilet are not separate. It is behind a room divider that separates the toilet from the rest of the room. So it is fine if you are not modest when showering or using the toilet. There is also only one sink in the studio. It felt a little weird using the same sink for washing dishes, brushing teeth and washing hands after using the toilet. The other photos are pictures of wonderful island destinations around the island. However, they are within a 30 minutes or more drive. I know there is a feral fowl population on the island. I feel though one of the roosters was the host's or neighbor's bird. It was very close and woke us up every night around 1:00 am which started up other roosters in the area. There should also be better lighting from the parking area to the house. It was pitch black and my phone battery was dead so I had no flash light to see. Even the path to the house that was lit was very poor. The 1/8 mile road from the main road to the house is dirt and a bit rough in places. The host at one point did make us feel uncomfortable by indicated not to interact with any neighbors around his property. It felt a little unwelcoming for a new person visiting the island.

John was very welcoming, he showed us the way to the apartment and gave us all the information that we needed. We were only able to stay at his place for one night and left very early in the morning the next day but the room was quaint, pretty much just as it appears in the pictures. I wish we could have stayed longer, the property seems really cool! If you want to really experience Kauai this would be the place. He has chickens and a fruit farm right there on the property. We weren't able to explore it ourselves due to lack of time but John was nice enough to pick us some fresh mango that we took with us when we left.....and it was delicious! :) Also, the lanai is shared but it has a beautiful view!

John's place worked well for my girlfriend's and my first night in Hawaii and John was a conscientious host. We would stay again.

This is a great little layover spot for the budget minded traveler! I was very happy to find it available for a last-minute trip to the island. As everyone has said, John is very attentive to guests’ needs. The delicious fresh eggs were a lovely bonus! There is one aspect I didn’t notice in the reviews, so I’m going to mention it for anyone who is bothered by the sound of traffic, or wants to get away from it on vacation. The property is literally adjacent to the main highway. I found it hard to sit on the lanai and enjoy the view for more than a few minutes and had to keep the door closed to escape the roar of cars and large vehicles. I realize this may be my sensitivity, and not an issue for most people.

Aw John was such a wonderful host! He even gave us dinner and fruit when we came late at night! His wife is very sweet, and all cats and other animals are. He was very helpful and I wish we would stay longer. The view from the house is amazing! The stars are magnificent at night and the room itself is so cozy and nice! It was wonderful to be there!

Lovely little place, perfect for a few nights in a great central location. Dana was very friendly, and was super flexible in meeting me to give me the key, even when I arrived very late. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great deal in Honolulu.

Dana's studio was absolutely lovely! She was also very accommodating and friendly. No problems at all with meeting up, booking, check in/check out, etc. The location was perfect if you like to be in the middle of all the action. Very close to Waikiki beach, restaurants, shopping, and other activities. Would definitely recommend the Cream Pot (I believe it's called) for an amazing breakfast which is in the lobby, right next to the elevators. The studio itself was perfect for 2. Very clean, beautifully decorated, A/C, wifi, beautiful views. The bathroom doesn't have a door but is behind a wall so you still have privacy. I would totally recommend this place to anyone and would love to stay here again!

Great stay! Excellent location. The host was great with communicating and made check in and out very easy

Dana was Very flexible to accommodate us and friendly. Great location very close to Waikiki strip and activities. Perfect space for the two of us.

Dana is a wonderfully pleasant host that provided great customer service. She was always very prompt with her response and accommodating with any requests or needs I had. I would highly recommend staying at her cute, cozy place that has a spectacular view! :) cheers, sibel

I had a wonderful night at this beautiful studio, Dana was a nice and friendly person she recommended places to visit and I took some of her suggestions and had an awesome time. I will be coming back to Honolulu and booking my place through dana, she is a wonderful host!

This place has a great location close to Waikiki shops and restaurants. The room is a bit small but if you're going to be out and about it's not too big a deal. The views from the room are great! The room had everything we needed and we had a nice time!

Dana is very nice and friendly. The room location is great, it's fashion and clean. Strongly recommend!

Nuestra estancia en la casa fue perfecta, H.Lee nos dio todo tipo de indicaciones, playas,comida en la zona y nos indico donde hacer snorkel, la casa disponía de bodyboards, gafas, sombrillas... La única pega es que esta pelin lejos de todo y que el trafico en oahu es fatal.

We absolutely loved saying with Hope!! She was more than hospitable and the place was gorgeous. The beach is right down the road and we were greeted with sea turtle laying on the sand! She is happy to help with any of your need, I would book you stay asap!

Hope's home, a beautiful, peaceful and comfy place. We arrived to a gorgeous hamper of goodies and food in the fridge which we appreciate very much. We love playing with Sam the dog and Rainbow the cat. They are so cute and great companies. The location is perfect and so close to the beach. We get to see the sea turtles at night which is a great bonus. Thanks Hope, we hope to see ya soon

Das Treehaus ist zwar etwas weit weg vom Schuss, aber dafür hat man 2 Häuser weiter eine kleine Beach, wo kein Mensch ist und weniger als 2 km weiter gibt es noch eine bewachte Beach, die zum sicheren Schwimmen einläd, wo auch am Wochenende nur ein paar Menschen sind. Das Treehaus selber liegt oberhalb der Wohnung von Hope. Daher ist man wirklich in einem privaten, abgeschotteten Bereich und kann sein eigenes Ding machen. Die Ausstattung ist für die Selbstverpflegung ausreichend und in der kleinen Dusche findet sich auch Shampoo und ähnliches was man zur Körperpflege braucht. Alles ist nicht ganz neu, aber sauber und funktionsfähig. Das Bett sieht ja auf dem Foto romantisch und lustig aus. Dennoch ist das der einzige wirkliche Kritikpunkt: Die dicke Madratze hat zur Folge, dass man sehr stark einsinkt und Bettwäsche aus 100 % Plastik geht irgendwie gar nicht.

We were very comfortable in tree house. the wellcome was fine, we were guided all over the house and also the closest beach. The description was accurate enough and the house is full equiped. We had a little problem and H. Lee solved in few minutes and the communication was fantastic. Quiet place and neighbourhood. I highly reccomend this place¡

Hope was great, The Treehouse was amazing. It was very romantic yet not overly. And all the beach amenities were wonderful. The beach itself was great and the Turtles were even more fantastic. I would definitely recommend staying here, and Sam the dog and the cat were sweethearts and not at all intrusive.

If you are planning a vacation on Oahu this is THE only place to stay! You wont get daily room service, however you will feel welcome, you will not feel like you're staying in Chicago (Waikiki) Beautiful, warm private accommodations with a personal touch. If I go back to Hawaii this is the only place I would stay.

The location is great for exploring the Waianae region being less than 10 minutes away from key beaches. Within a residential neighborhood practically next door to a small remote sandy beach. The room is neat, spacious, and well furnished and although we did not cook, the kitchen seemed well stocked. The bed was really comfortable. I am a side sleeper and it felt blissful. The room is separate from the main house so no noise issues except roosters in the early morning. ac and fan and windows (2nd floor and breezy) all work well to manage the room temperature. Hope was a great host and was attentive, responsive, and accomodating.

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!

Cheri and Scott were wonderful, accommodating hosts. The bungalow is even better than it appears in the photos! You really can't beat the location, we loved Kailua and all it had to offer. Cheri's suggestions on dining, hiking, and activities in Oahu are spot on. We can't wait to come back again and stay there!! I've had many airbnb experiences around the country, and this was by far the best -- 5 stars all the way!

Wir übernachteten 8 Nächte bei Cheri und Scott und waren von der Lage und der Austattung und Unterkunft sehr angetan. Direkt hinter dem großen Garten liegt der Kailua Beach Park mit einem der schönsten Strände Oahus. Große Strandhandtücher und -stühle inkl. Kühlbox sind vorhanden. Cheri und Scott sind sehr hilfsbereite und liebenswürdige Gastgeber, wir durften im Garten Ananas, Bananen und Papayas nach Belieben ernten. Direkt vor der Einfahrt liegt der Kalawapai Market, ein kleiner deli. Foodlands und Wholefoods sind mit dem Auto in 3-4 Minuten erreichbar. Sehr empfehlenswert ist eine Wanderung in den Hügeln der Umgebung mit sensationellen Ausblicken auf Kailua und Lanikai (Ausgangspunkt ist ein kleiner Trampelpfad den Berg hoch, der direkt auf der linken Straßenseite unmittelbar beim Country Club in Lanikai beginnt).Insgesamt rundum zu empfehlen.

There are no words to describe this paradise! It felt like home from the first second on. Cheri and Scott made us feel very welcome, we even got fresh fruits of their own plants in the garden. They provide a guide with suggestions what you can do, where you can have dinner etc. The bungalow is beautiful, well-equipped, clean and many details tell of Cheri and Scott's love that they've put into it. Even though it is in the same house, you'll have an entrance for youself as well as a little garden area and a barbecue. So it is really private. The beach park is literally starting at the backyard and so it takes less than a minute to be on one of the most beautiful beaches we've ever seen. A little market & deli is just nextdoor if you couldn't be bothered to go shopping yet again ;-). They also have good and priceworthy coffee. A rental place for kayaks, sup, snorkeling etc is right across the street. The way into Honululu takes about 20-30minutes, but can get quite busy with traffic. So you want to avoid rush hours. In summary this was the paradise we were hoping for after seeing the pictures. Cheri and Scott are always within reach if you might have any questions or should need their advice on what to do. It is more than worth the money it costs and will make your Oahu-experience unforgettable!

Cheri and Scott's bungalow was everything the listing promised and more! This was the perfect home base for two travelers, we love Kailua and this location steps from the beach is ideal. The bungalow had everything we needed from a comfy bed to the cozy garden room and the outdoor garden lounge space (so many beautiful plants and flowers along with happy little geckos) It has a well-appointed and spacious kitchen and everything we needed for great days at the beach like beach chairs, big towels and a cooler. They thoughtfully provide things like plush bath towels, lots of hangers, Hawaiian soap and shampoo, access to a washer and dryer...things that make the bungalow a very welcoming home away from home in paradise. Cheri and Scott were just a text away (or upstairs) if we had any questions and were very helpful. They waited up late for our arrival on the first night, greeted us warmly, and helped us get settled quickly so we could get some rest and be ready for our first day of adventures on Oahu. Communication with them throughout our reservation process and the trip was fantastic. We'd love to come back again!

Cheri and Scott definitely have a welcoming, relaxing and not to mention well equipped bungalow! While we only met them on our last day as they were in Africa, they made sure we had everything we needed to ensure our stay was impeccable! Activities and restaurant recommendations were great and we definitely were pleased we took their advice! Kailua is a stunning community, the people are great and the stores are adorable. In all, our stay was a 10 we couldn't ask for more! Thank you Cheri and Scott!!

This is an oasis in the heart of Kailua Beach Park. My wife & I had a blast in this quiet town. We LOVED Kailua beach which is only a few hundred feet from the bungalow. Don't forget to wake up to see the sunrise-- the beach is deserted and the clouds, unforgettable. The bungalow was well equipped and right below where Cheri and Scott live. It has all the beach essentials: cooler, chairs, beach bag and towels, kitchen with pots and pans, small refrigerator, plates, cups etc. (The cooler and towels are especially helpful as we visited the beach at least once a day!) They also give you access to a washer & dryer, onsite parking. The bungalow is perfect for couples as it's the right sq footage for 2, not too big but we didn't stay in much. We recommend you rent a car to see the Island; the north shore, Waikiki etc. The town of Kailua has great restaurants, and shops, plenty of places to shop and only a few minutes away. Whole Foods is there too. Thank you Cheri and Scott for an unforgettable week!

First of all, the place is amazing. Perfect location just feet from Kailua beach (one of the nicest in Oahu) as well as a local store for shopping and coffee. In addition to the private outdoor garden and the cute bungalow, Sheri surprised us and told us they'd just installed a brand new sun room/couch area to the property since the last guest had left - which was perfect for reading and drinking coffee during our first rainy few days there. Overall their bungalow was a perfect home base for us to explore the island as well as relax in our own backyard. Sheri and Scott were amazing hosts - so nice and friendly and considerate. We only saw them a few times during the week, but they were always happy to give us advice on places to eat, get whatever we needed, or just chat about life. Thanks again, we can't wait to come back!
