We really enjoyed the uniqueness of this property, the great view and location, and the privacy. Nice to have a washer/drier also. Paele the black cat, and her friend Winkie the one eyed tabby were welcome visitors.

We had a lovely stay and wish it could have been longer. The house has a very well stocked kitchen, everything you could possibly need and the bed is very comfortable . The breeze keeps the house comfortable and for the most part the mosquitoes away, but we did have 1 night when they were out, but the hosts supple bug spray so all good. The view and sunsets are beautiful and the area is so peaceful, a very restful place to stay.

My husband and I stayed here for a night on our honeymoon and wish it was for longer. We had such an incredible night watching the sunset and enjoyed the very relaxing and secluded experience here. The host was great and very responsive upon our arrival and we hope to stay here again next time we visit the big island!

We spent a glorious 10 days in this little "Tree House" to celebrate our 40th Anniversary. The room and environs were very clean, LaRissa, the Caretaker was very helpful, we loved the outdoor kitchen and having a washer and dryer. The constant visits from the beautiful little geckos outside and lovely birds with their distinct calls, and the incredible view were all fabulous. For us, the location was ideal, very quiet, near the City of Refuge, coffee and chocolate farms. Loved the rural environment. We will definitely be returning next April.

Ocean greeted our eyes every morning. Many comfy spots to lounge when not snorkeling at nearby areas such as Two Step,but a small local grassy park was even closer and a secret gem for snorkeling. Property manager was super quick with concerns about an odor in kitchen and she jumped right on the problem. We'd definitely rebook!

Awesome little Paradise

We really enjoyed staying at this absolutely beautiful little paradise. Everything was perfect, how it is integrated right in the middle of nature with so many lovely details. The owner is Super nice and we enjoyed the company of his sweet little cat - we will definitely rent it again next time when we come back here for vacation.
