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 bed is so comfortable you will have the best sleep of your trip! So many unique details in the place!

It's a dream come true.

We were very fortunate to be able to stay at Kristie's treehouse. The accommodation was absolutely beautiful and is exactly as the pictures show. Kristie made sure we had everything we needed for a very pleasant stay. She provided information before our arrival and had a book with some basic instructions for living off the grid. The location is very convenient to Volcano National Park and Hilo and we explored both during our stay.

This place is just exceptional! Living off the grid and within the treetops of the rainforest is a fantastic experience. The tree house is decorated with so much love for details and great ideas. You have really amazing sounds out there which are so great for falling asleep. The bed is big, very comfy and is surrounded by huge windows to provide light and awesome views. It's also located perfectly to visit both Hilo and Volcano area.

Everything about this location was perfection for us. The host was exceptionally accommodating and communicative. And the space was a dream. This is a great spot for anyone wanting to stay in an inspiring and beautiful location, but also, it's really cool for anyone interested in sustainability and eco-friendly living. It's decorated beautifully and the land is gorgeous. We'll definitely be back!

I have no words for how perfect this treehouse is. It's even better than the pictures suggest. It was the highlight of our trip and I wish we could've spent more time here. Every detail did not go unnoticed. From the gramophone to play our music to the swing downstairs to the couples question cards, everything was impeccable. This is perfect for couples who want to get away. Don't plan any activities for the first day you're here. Once you get there, you won't want to leave. We bought dinner and breakfast and ate it right on the porch. For folks staying here, I'd recommend an SUV to get in if it's raining. We had tiny car and were nervous about some of the big and deep puddles, but it turned out ok.

Gorgeous place to stay, and great location if you want to go snorkelling, they bay is amazing. Advice: if you are terrified of spiders, there are many.

Enjoyed my two days at the cottage. It was close to the local park for snorkeling-swimming and I enjoyed the outdoor shower. Bring bug repellent as it is in mosquito territory and much of the space has open air elements.

What an amazing location, hosts, and cottage. Nothing else quite like it. We loved the tropical close to nature feel of the open air cottage, like camping, but so luxurious! Bring your bug spray and snorkel gear, but if you forget, that's ok, they have some at the cottage.

I don't know what I can add except that the other reviews are 100% right. The cabin is charming, the outdoor kitchen was well-equipped and a lot of fun to use, and the setting could not be more beautiful. Karen was a great host (Ron was away). If you're deathly afraid of spiders and/or bugs the cabin may not be for you—it's open-air. And I recommend arriving before sunset, because it's at the bottom of a narrow, winding road and is much easier to find during the day.

A fun place to hang out for a relaxing week. Balinese style with laid back island sensibilities. The location can't be beat - so close to the beach! Ron and Karen were helpful and friendly. And I even enjoyed the geckos.

The Bali Cottage is a dream world! The setting is absolutely perfect, right by a great snorkeling and swimming spot in one of the most beautiful parts of the island. Probably the most unique place I've ever stayed, with a big tree growing right through the room, it was more than we expected. The hosts went to great efforts to make it very clean and comfortable, and even came out to the road when we arrived late at night to help us find the way. The outdoor kitchen and bathroom were ideal for the climate. Good quality snorkeling gear was provided, what a treat! We couldn't have been more pleased, unless perhaps we could control the course of nature and turn off the Ficus berries falling on the roof at night! But that's what you get if you want to sleep amid the trees :)

What an amazing place to stay! We loved the tree house and the access to the beach! Such a cool style house. Love the free flow of the place and outdoor shower is amazing!

We had an excellent time staying at the Bali Cottage in Kealakekua Bay! The hosts were very accessible and a pleasure to talk with. The cottage is very private and in an excellent location for those looking to experience nature! Be sure to snorkel as much as possible right down the street!

Leading up to our stay Eve communicated well via email to make sure we had everything we needed. The house is beautiful and tucked away in a secluded part of Maui and it was nice having a whole house to ourselves at the end of a busy day. Its set in a tropical garden so we felt part of our surroundings, especially at night when we'd leave the windows open so we could wake up to all the natural sounds outside. The house came fully equipped with kitchen facilities so we could cook our own meals plus a good sized bathroom area. The host also left instructions which were helpful. A couple of minor things we would've liked - one was wifi in the room. Even though this was a minor issue, there were times when it was raining and we'd have to walk out to the gazebo to use the internet. Also, during out 4 day stay, because Eve and her partner were on holiday we didn't meet with anyone the whole time we were there. Even though we arrived late at night, we thought someone would've dropped by to introduce themselves some time during our stay. This wasn't a huge deal though as our overall stay was fantastic. Loved the house and the location and would absolutely stay there again.

A very nice and cozy little cottage! Eve was a great host and gave us very useful hints for Maui. Bohdi and the chicken gang were also very kind to us ;-)

Eve was a great host and the place was exactly as described. It is in the middle of a jungle and is a bit of a drive the the popular west and south sides of the island, perfect location for the Road to Hana and some of the smaller towns in the Upcountry. Because it's in the middle of a jungle there are wildlife which I think Eve mentions in the description, roosters crowing, little critters making noises and lots of birds and such. The hot water is a little short sided but that might depend on how many other occupants are on the property, the week we were there it was full. There is a washer/dryer that was handy, a small blow dryer, an iron and beach towels available as well as anything you'd need in a kitchen. Overall, it was a great experience and we'd stay again.

This was a beautiful, secluded, quiet, and lush cottage. It was well appointed as well. Eve was responsive and friendly. We didn't use the kitchen much but it would have been suitable to simple meal prep. The bathroom was well appointed though the shower seemed to run out of hot water at odd times.. Maybe it's hooked up to the same supplies as the other structures on the property or just has limited capacity. The wifi was dead, which was a letdown since the property has poor cell reception. In some regards that could be considered a good thing. Aside free on those minor grievances, the experience was wonderful. I hope to stay here again and would recommend to friends.

Eve and her husband were both lovely. We were met when we first arrived. The cottage contained a very helpful instruction and suggestion guide. We had been looking for "baby beach" with no suggest and the directions in her book were perfect. The Gingerbread Cottage was charming with appreciated artistic touches. The setting was beautiful, as described. The rental houses were a bit closer together than expected but when one guest was challenged with noisy children Even was immediately "on it" to maintain a serene and restful atmosphere. Eve was kind enough to personally loan us beach chairs and to suggest a website where I could purchase a specific small statue I was looking for. We especially enjoyed meeting Bodie, the dog... for a little pet therapy!

My wife and I stayed at the Gingerbread house for our honeymoon and it was amazing. I would love to live in a small home like this; very cozy, simple, and yes, it is adorable. The Gingerbread house is located in a private property, called the Sacred Garden. The sacred garden is a very fitting name for this piece of land as it is very peaceful and spiritual. It is surrounded by nature, it has a river flowing in the background, and is a spiritual retreat center as well. Our host Eve was out of town during our stay but she did a wonderful job ensuring that everything was ready for us and provided all the information we needed during our stay. Thank you so much and definitely recommended!

From the first moment, we felt very comfortable in the gingerbread house. We had an amazing time there and Eve was very nice and friendly to us. Everything in the house was very clean. Especially we enjoyed the lovely garden and the surrounding in general.

There is nowhere better if you wish for some peace in the countryside where the only sounds are the wind in the trees and the sound of the birds. A charming house and charming hosts who are always available to answer queries but never intrusive. Totally recommended.

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

Your vacation destination for Volcano Park-- don't pay for a tour! Check in here (the cost is just a bit over a volcano tour for two people at various tour companies), and after the 4pm check in look around your playhouse like excited children, then have a relaxing dip in the hot tub. It's about 10 minutes to the Jaggar museum parking, and you want to get there at dusk while there is still light to shoot the lava glow AND surrounding landscape. Take in the excellent museum, then head home for another soak. Enjoy the outdoor shower in the trees followed by a delicious and nutritious treehouse breakfast, then check out and head back to the park for another day of exploration. A trip highlight! Fascinating structure-- book it soon!

This was our most romantic stay we've ever had in our lifetime. The interior of the house is just perfect done, every detail is wonderful done. Gail made our stay very comfortable. I hope we have the possibility to visit this cute house again.

What a beautiful slice of heaven! Recommend this to all interested in staying there, words cannot describe the beauty of the treehouse!

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!

Great experience! Sunrise from the upstairs bedroom was breathtaking! Highly recommend!

This place is absolutely amazing. Words really can't describe the beauty and attention to detail of the Treehouse! The pictures almost manage to do it justice. It feels a little like being in a luxurious Swiss Family Robinson home, up in the trees with beautiful orchids and birds all around. It is very clean and conveniently located near Volcano National Park. The hot tub and outdoor shower are great, even in rain. Banana bread and strawberries provided for breakfast were delicious. You can get good coffee at the Tin Shack in Pahoa, if the lava hasn't gotten there yet. Highly recommended!

Our stay here was amazing! The tree house is beautiful and our host was fantastic! Perfect experience all the way around! :)

John could not have been a more perfect host. Our experience was beyond wonderful in every possible way imaginable!!!

Was a charming place to stay. Clean, well stocked and even had some leftover coffee for the coffee maker in the fridge. Would love to stay again.

We had a great time !! We love it!! We could watch beautiful sunset!! Thank you very much!!

Wow, this was a breathtaking place to stay. There's not much better than waking up and being able to see the ocean and the jungle and hear the tropical birds in your bed. We loved spending the evenings out on the deck listening to music and enjoying the island weather. There are also appliances in the treehouse; so, if you feel inclined to stay in and make dinner it is definitely an option. It is a very peaceful place. Check in and check out was very easy. John gave us very helpful information and tips for the area. We would love to come back sometime.

This lovely treehouse haven was out of a storybook. I couldn't have asked for a better location to relax and feel grounded (above ground!). John was an incredible host who shared his love of the land, yoga, and surf. I couldn't have asked for more! I would recommend his property to anyone and cannot wait for the next opportunity to stay here. We had everything we needed from comfortable beds, a kitchenette, gorgeous balcony view of sunset beach, free boards/bikes, and the most wonderful staff and dogs you could ask for. 5 stars for friendliness, accommodations, and a ton of heart!

The treehouse was and hillside community were awesome! A perfect place to exemplify simple living and all that's great about the North Shore. Everything you need, nothing you don't. John was super friendly and hospitable as we met up with him a few times on the property. A great host!

We are arrived early in the morning and John was great letting us hang out on his deck until our room was ready. The accomodation was perfect, we went to North Shore to watch the Pipe Masters and this is the perfect location. The room was so great with an amazing view of Sunset Beach. So peaceful and John and his Woofers were so helpful. Made our trip and will definitely be back.

This location is trully one of a kind. Situated on the hill minutes away from the beach and with the most incredible views you could think of. It could have easily been featured in a magazine stated: most romantic and special places to sleep. We loved it up there. John is really helpfull and gave us some good tips wich led us to spend the day on a deserted beach surround with turtles! We would highly recommed this place and try to stay as long as possible!

Great location, close to everything, pool, beach, shopping. We would definitely stay here again.

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Beste Lage in Waikiki. Es gibt nichts zu bemaengeln. Nur ein Anmerkung; Ilikai Hotel ist bei den Taxi Fhrern besser bekann als Pearl Beach Hotel

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

The Pearl was exactly as described on the website - chic, fresh, clean and clutter free - everything you needed in the full size kitchen. Angela and Cyrille were excellent hosts and helped out with tips and hints around the area. The Pearl was an easy walk to the Ala Moana Shopping Centre and on a main bus route. An excellent stay.

Very nice studio apt. in the heart of Honolulu. It has everything we needed for our stay and would definitely rent it again. The hosts made it very easy for us by personalizing the entry code and making sure of our arrival and departure times. Loved having a concierge service!

Great apartment - well located. Thank you

We really enjoyed our stay! The hotel is situated in a good location to shops and restaurants. The beach is just short walk. The peer offers parking which we found very helpful. The unit looks identical to the pictures. Everything we needed was provided from cooking items to extra pillows and towels. Angela and Cyrille were welcoming and professional. We really enjoyed our stay.

the apartment was very clean and well-equipped. angela and cyrille were incredibly responsive and accommodating, offering a late check-out without us even asking. parking in the public lot was more expensive than anticipated (it was on an hourly basis and there was no full-day option or in-and-out privileges), but still cheaper than valet rates. location is great for those who want to be centrally located without being in the crowded hustle of waikiki.

Room and vie as described. The pool is nice and mostly you have it for yourself. His cleaner Julie came quick to help us with the door code. Double bed mattress was a little bit soft. If you stay there, get an awesome massage from Auntie Allie

Michael responded quickly by email with questions I had per hair dryer, vehicle rental & restaurants. Wonderful island to exlore. Recommend the drive to the east end...but only for those loving a challenging drive. And the mule ride...beautiful. I ride...not an issue for me, but my friend found it scarry. I say, "go with an open mind & belief in your mule!!"

Perfect for a quiet, budget-conscious stay on the west side of the island. The grounds of the community are very well kept and we enjoyed sitting on the lanai watching the deer and turkey hanging out on the lawn.

We had a very lovely stay at Michael's condo at Kepuhi Beach on Molokai. It was just as described, clean and very well-stocked. The mornings on the lanai were peaceful and relaxing and the sunsets in the evening were spectacular. We did not meet Michael but we had no trouble contacting him when necessary, and we very much appreciated his patience with our check-in confusion. The bed was too soft for our tastes but surprisingly comfortable. As a couple who enjoys cooking, we appreciated the sharpness of the knives. lol Too often we run into very dull knives! The resort itself was quiet, peaceful and uncrowded. The pool was nice though we only used it once as we discovered Dixie Maru Beach about a 15-20 minute drive away (at 35 mph) and really loved sitting on the sand and hanging out in the water. The wifi and cable tv worked very well. We rented Michael's Kia minivan while we were there and though it's kind of rough it worked out well for our needs. I would not hesitate to recommend Michael's place at all! Thank you, Michael!

The listing was very accurate. The efficiency condo has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The setting is great. Sitting on the lanai eating breakfast while looking at the ocean and watching wild turkeys parade was wonderful.

The island of Molokai is really beautiful. I would like to come back to visit. Molokai was the best choice. Condo was the best house that harmonize with nature. In the morning, in front of the house brings back many kinds of birds. This is gorgeous sunsets in the evening. BBQ, kitchen tools Everything was perfect. Michael was kind enough to never forget. He is a very gracious man, the best man of my trip. I'm English poor. But he had guided me to the house. He kindly explained everything in his house. And He had to provide clean bedding. Michael was alive much better than the picture. Will be surprised when he actually saw. He is a nice guy , very young and polite. He is very old car. However, there is no problem in operation. Thanks to my journey in a safe trip. I want to come visit again.

Michael's condo is just as described and depicted in the photos. It was clean, cozy and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The view from the lanai was lovely and we enjoy relaxing in the pool over looking the ocean as well. The bed was a bit soft for our liking but that's quite subjective. Overall I recommend Michael's place and would stay here again myself.

Rapid response for our extreme last minute booking, and clear-cut information.

Amanda's home, the aptly names Sea Cliff House, served as a perfect home base for exploring the north shore and tranquility of Laie. Situated in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to the main road, grocery and liquor stores, as well as gas stations and other necessities. The home is modern and extremely clean with ample parking and a host of other amenities. The view, accessible from virtually every room, is astonishing. A light sea spray often covers the large main deck off the living room which opens in entirety, we opened the doors whenever the weather permitted. While I did not come into direct contact with Amanda she was a pleasure to communicate with and made our stay seamless. I would highly recommend this property for a couples retreat, medium-large family, or a group traveling for wedding (as we were).

Home was beautiful just like what the picture shows, kitchen fully stocked, restaurants and grocery shopping about 2 minute drive, I highly recommend eating at the 7 Brother Burger, very good, went there several times during our stay, also close to area lots of food trucks to choose from as well, a few houses down walking distance to private beach, very clean.. there was a few hiccups during our stay unfortunately the owners were out of town while we were there, we did not have much beach equipment that was assigned to us, some were missing, was only able to communicate through text but other then that I would still highly recommend staying at this location, it is beautiful and relaxing place

Great location with dramatic view of the ocean. If you like the sound of crashing waves and want them at your doorstep, you will love this home. Amenities are excellent; beds are comfortable; shopping and restaurants are convenient. Well decorated and newly renovated.

Fantastic house - modern, stylish, spacious, well equiped and clean. The location overlooking the ocean is fabulous, and it's easy to explore the north shore of Oahu from here (beaches, Polynesian Cultural Centre, shrimp trucks etc). Geoff & Amanda are great hosts, quick to respond and really helpful. We had a wonderful time with our families and i would highly recommend this place.

Our hosts were extremely responsive and helpful during our stay. The house is set up and decorated beautifully and the views are stunning. In the middle of July we struggled with the hot weather, since the place is not air-conditioned. Many months out of the year this would not be an issue however, and overnight it does cool off to be comfortable if you leave open the windows and doors to hear the waves crashing below.

The house is stunning and as described. You get to watch the ocean swells and shifting skies. Very beautiful.

My experience at the Sea Cliff House was perfect! With all the high-quality upgrades, the home felt brand new to us. The views were priceless! The master bedroom feels like an elite room on a cruise ship! Six adults and two small children fit very comfortably here. We watched kite surfers from the back porch and ate dinner with the sea breeze on our backs. Our host was very responsive and helpful with everything we needed and committed to us having a good experience here. The neighborhood is quiet and welcoming. The home is near a number of attractions on Oahu like the Polynesian Cultural Center, the LDS temple (which is beautiful), and one of the best rated zip lines in Hawaii. It's also close to a very secluded beach, which is hard to find on this island. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking to visit Oahu!

Heaven on earth! The Sea Cliff House is one of the most amazing and unique homes we have ever stayed in. Everything in the home was exactly as described and even better and SUPER clean. We loved opening the retractable glass doors each day and hearing and smelling the ocean as we cooked and dined indoors. And the master bedroom with full glass windows was breath taking and so calming to the soul each night! Amanda was extremely gracious and attentive to all of our needs and even had a new grill brought to the premises so we enjoy eating at the home each night -- we never wanted to leave!

This home was lovely and exactly as described. The condo was very nicely remodeled just as the pictures show. The kitchen was well stocked with all the cooking necessities needed. It was in a prime location. Princeville is absolutely beautiful with so much to do. Kevin was easy to get a hold of and let us know a few days before our stay that the washer was not working, which was not a problem. We are hoping we can come back soon!

Defintee recomendation, easiest way to enjoy much needed vacation! Super clean, amazing location, the host was responsive when needed (which was rare because he took care of everything) set up extras like snorkles and beach towels etc for us, best vacation ever!

Kevin, thank you for being such a great host. We enjoyed our week in Princeville. Thank you for being so responsive to all our communications. I was impressed that you would check on us when we arrived. The condo was very nice and well appointed. It had everything that we needed and more. The bed was very comfortable which made for a wonderful nights sleep after our many adventures around the island. We would definetly recommend Kevin and his families condo to any one that is planning a trip to Kauai. You will not be disappointed. The staff at The Cliffs was very welcoming and helpful.

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!

Kevin's place was awesome! Super clean and spacious! Everything was available that we needed to cook dinner and even Tupperware to store the leftovers! Kevin also had coolers to borrow that made full days at the beach even better! The Cliffs are quiet and beautiful and we will definitely be back.

Kevin's condo on the beautiful north shore of Kauai was a wonderful base for a stunning and tranquil holiday! Kevin checked in on us via Airbnb messages to make sure all was going well. He was very kind and friendly and always easy to contact. The condo is exactly as advertised and we felt so comfortable and at home there. We cannot speak highly enough of our holiday experience at The Cliffs! Everyone was so friendly and helpful and the North Shore of Kauai is absolutely gorgeous! Mahalo, Kevin!

This is a beautiful condo - completely up to date, clean and huge. We were very comfortable while staying in Kauai

I was very happy in the condo. It is newly renovated, in perfect condition, and has lovely, well-appointed baths and a well-thought-through kitchen. The condo is on the ground-floor and opens onto a private terrace that overlooks a wild greenspace with palm trees and tropical flowers. This makes it much more private than most condos in the development. The bedroom also opens onto a terrace that faces the parking area, which is partly shielded by large hedges. The condo has 3 exposures and is thus quite breezy. The condo is laid-out around a center hall. This means that the living room can be split off and used as a bedroom (with its own bath). Therefore the guests in the living room, or in the master bedroom (also with bath), can come and go without disturbing one another. The exception to this is when the kitchen needs to be used, since it opens off the living room. I was alone in the condo, but I did take a nap on the convertible couch in the living room and found it to be very comfortable. The Cliffs Resort, in which the condo is located, has tennis, multiple jacuzzis, and a good-sized pool, which is suitable for laps in the evening when it is usually empty. The complex is 5 minutes from a good supermarket, and about 12 or so minutes from the best -- and safest -- beach on the island: Hannelei Bay beach. The lady in charge of cleaning the condo does a meticulous job. Kevin was easy to deal with, very polite, and extremely responsive.

Ein absoluter Traum von einer Unterkunft! Genau so soll Airbnb sein: Dominique hat uns persönlich in der Einfahrt empfangen und sofort das Studio überlassen - obwohl wir ein paar Stunden zu früh dran waren und uns darauf eingestellt hatten, samt Koffer am Strand zu warten. Als langjähriger Local hat er uns auch gleich mit einer Menge Ausflugs- und Restauranttipps versorgt. Das Studio selbst hat uns überwältigt. Es ist noch einmal größer, als es auf den Fotos wirkt, zudem hübsch eingerichtet, aufwendig dekoriert und voll ausgestattet sowieso. Prunkstück ist das herrlich bequeme Bett, in das man nach einem langen und harten Strandtag plumpsen kann - nach dem Sundowner auf der hübschen, kleinen Terrasse. Im Anbau hat Dominique alles untergebracht, was der Hawaiiurlauber jemals brauchen könnte: Schnorchelausrüstung, Strandtaschen, Bodyboards, Tennisschläger... Einfach zum Mitnehmen, absolut überragend. Achja, und ein Gasgrill wartet nur darauf, mit Fisch oder Fleisch bestückt zu werden. Besser geht es nicht. In aller Kürze: Das Studio war uns sechs Tage lang ein perfektes Zuhause im besten Wortsinn! Vielen Dank!

This is the perfect size rental for one or two people looking for a quite clean, and comfortable place within 100' of the ocean. Dominique is a gracious host who made sure to ask if there was anything I needed each day I was there. The location is quite unique in that is just far enough from the main street that you don't hear any traffic noise yet you can walk to some great shops and restaurants should you choose to. If I am ever in Maui in the future I will certain try to reserve this place again.

Staying at Dominique's studio was a wonderful and memorable experience. The space was clean, and the location was ideal, with tons of dining options, and only a few steps from the beach. You also get access to tons of beach gear including snorkels, chairs, bogey boards and coolers. On top of this, Dominque was one of the most helpful hosts we've stayed with. On our final day, we got a late start and e-mailed him for some last minute hike recommendations. Within the hour, he was at the door with a map and tons of great advice. What could have been a wasted day became one of our most memorable thanks to Dominique's recommendations. We would definitely stay here again!

The apartment was tastefully and comfortably equipped and relly just a few steps away from the beach. Dominique was welcoming and very helpfull and obviosly enjoys making the house and garden really special. And the mangos from his garden are absolutely delicious.

Wir waren Gäste bei Dominique und haben es sehr genossen. Es gab alles was wir uns wünschten: - angehehme Unterkunft und Umgebung - ruhig gelegen und dennoch nah genug an Strand und Stadt - vollständig Ausrüstung der Wohnung - geschmackvolle Einrichtung - perfekte Sauberkeit - netter Gastgeber mit wirklich guten Tipps zur Insel

We were lucky enough to secure this private, beautiful, conveniently-located, affordable, super clean cottage for the weekend to be close to our favorite, non-rocky beaches for sunning and endless bodysurfing! Great, easy host communication made it a perfect compliment to staying with inland friends! Hope we're as lucky again!!!

Dominique was very good at texting all of the important info needed as well as email. His place is clean, convenient and cozy!

We had a great experience at there place. Great place to stay if you either want to do activities (hiking are really good and Dominic recommanded us very nice trails) or want to relax on the beach. Also the place has everything you need if you want to cook. We would recommand it to anybody and would go there again.

Breathtaking location. When you step onto the deck overlooking the banzai pipeline you'll never want to leave. The house is perfect. Has everything you could possibly want. Usually we are exploring the region quite a bit but once we saw this place we just wanted to sit, relax and watch the crazy surfers! Would highly recommend it to anyone that loves staying at prime beach locales. Try the Thai food truck 2 blocks away. Best Pad Thai we've ever had bar none. Only downside the entire trip was the hurricane related weather but what can you do... Welcome to the tropics! ;-)

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.

Mele and her father could not have been better hosts. Between the access to the house, providing local information, etc they were wonderful, generous & kind. As for the house, it was everything we wanted and more. We are a family of 4 (kids are both under the age 4) and it fit us perfectly for our 2 week stay. The house is thoughtfully designed with the beauty in its simplicity and its incorporation of the natural elements. Between pipeline going off and the whales breaching in the distance, the view of the ocean from the deck was the show. Logistically, the parking and privacy are great. The outside shower was the best we have every seen, allowing us to wash up the kids with ease and not bringing sand to the house. We ate every meal outside and mainly cooked on the grill. The kitchen has everything you would need to cook. The kids slept in the room and we slept on the Murphy bed. The ceiling fans prevented any need for AC in the living space. This is a family house and has that vibe. It should be treated with respect and in return you will reap the benefit of a peaceful family friendly environment giving you a home in the middle of paradise.

The house was incredible, right on the beach and very light and airy. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!

This little house is one of the most special places in the world. Location is incredible -- you can't find a more perfect ocean/beach view-- and so too is the whole vibe inside. The only problem with this house is that it was so hard to leave! (BTW, visiting cat made this charming house a home.) Thank you for a fantastic stay.

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

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!

This was by far the best accommodation we had so far on Oahu. The view is the best you can possibly get. It's clean, spacious and has everything you want. The host was great, super friendly and helpful. We'll definitely come back next year.

Thank you, Teddy for the great hospitality! We had such an amazing trip, and your place was just what we were looking for. It has everything we needed and more (even the aloe!!) thank you again and we will be back soon!! Mahalo, Brittany and Justin

Ted was great! Super knowledgable regarding the area and very attentive. We were hesitant at first when booking as he had not yet received any reviews, but we are so glad we went with Ted and his condo. The place was as described, very clean and just the right amount of space, close to many of the Princeville and Hanalei attractions. Would definitely recommend both Ted and his condo to all interested, we will likely be back to Kauai in the future and look up Ted again!

We loved staying here! Great walking/running areas, restaurants within walking distance, high class area of Kauai. We spent majority of our trip on the North shore and the location was perfect. Teddys place was extremely clean, peaceful and smelled incredible. He gave lots of suggestions on things to do and was very prompt at.communicating. Loved staying here!

Teddy was very communicative and although we never met, he was always available when I texted. The place itself is awesome and feels very new and updated. The view of the mountains was great. It was very clean, lots of towels, cutlery, coffee maker, fridge, down to beach chairs etc. It was rainy for the most part when I was there so didn't get to see Hanalei bay but it was very close and a great location. Teddy gave us great tips on places to go and see and eat at so it was nice to have that local knowledge. I'd definitely stay again! Mahalo!

Teddys apartment was fantastic! It had everything we needed for a great stay. The bed was comfy and the view of the bushland was beautiful. Very close to the beach and nice walks. The only thing we would recommend anyone wishing to stay here is hire a car as the grocery store was a half and hour walk. But all in all a great experience.

Teddy was great--very responsive, friendly, and organized, and we absolutely LOVED the condo! It is the perfect size for two people, very clean, and in a great location in Princeville. I would highly recommend this rental!

good spot to explore the north shore of kauai. Place was neat and had everything we needed. Teddy was very helpful with everything

Great location, walking distance to Queen's Bath!

Jay's place was even better than described. The location was great, and the view was amazing. We enjoyed watching both the sunrises and sunsets! This condo is fully stocked with everything you need to enjoy Maui. Great value too; we would really recommend it!

Jay kept great communication and made sure the place was in great shape for when we arrived. We had read many stellar reviews which led us to book and I can vouch for all of them, it was simply stunning. Humpback Whales and Green Sea Turtles were constantly in sight from a great patio, and I am considering buying an identical couch. Room cooled very quickly with the provided air conditioner and the allotted parking space was a huge perk given past experiences on the island. I would book this room again in a heartbeat for my next trip.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jay's apartment. The pictures speak truth and the apartment is located directly at the shore. Jay proved to be a great host. He was reachable, provided helpful tips on what to do and was genuinely friendly. His apartment comes with snorkeling gear and lots of useful beach gear (chairs, umbrella, etc.) It was clean and tidy, exactly as you would like to expect it.

Great place. Pics don't lie. You are on the top floor and only 10 feet away from the water. Watched whales breach off in the distance and turtles swim by the shore.

This studio was amazing and Jay was an excellent host. The view is exactly as described, the space clean and well appointed. Jay did a good job checking in with us to make sure everything was in order. We would definitely stay here again.

Jay studio apartment right next to the ocean was just perfect for my husband and I. Lovely porch views, delightful breezes, and a totally appointed apartment. Every thing we needed for a great two weeks in Maui was right there for our use... even a grapefruit knife. We would highly recommend this studio apartment!

The view is absolutely breathtaking! Should definitely grab some ice cream and enjoy the sunset on the lanai! You may catch a glimpse of some sea turtles and whales as well!

Great space, conveniently located s d exactly as described! Wonderful to fall asleep to ocean waves every night. We'll definitively book again when we return to Maui!

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!

Very comfortable stay, we only regret not being able to stay longer! Great view over the pool out to the ocean and molokini. My wife was very impressed with the color coordination of all the renovations and decor! Many fans and lighting flexibility, full kitchen, close to all amenities in Kihei. We recommend the cross ventilation morning and overnight through the unit, cool & fresh sea breeze.

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.

Thomas is simply best host possible... ... quick and clear response on all the messages... No issues at all, perfect location near the beach & park... lot to do near by and at the condo... Pool, Tennis courts, speaker system setup was awesome... tons of storage space, wife loved the décor... the view... best of all convenient location for the activities...

The inside of this condo is absolutely stunning! Very luxurious and relaxing. Thomas was very accommodating and had the condo extremely clean and leaves many condiments and spices, which is really nice when traveling. He was also very thoughtful by leaving a bottle of champagne for me new husband and I. I would highly recommend Thomas as a host and this beautiful condo!

Great beaches, restaurant close by

This apartment was simply amazing. Words and pictures do not do it justice; I felt like I was at a 5 star resort hotel. The apartment was immaculate and had EVERYTHING you would need for a comfortable stay, either in the apartment or at the beach. The place is much bigger than the pictures make you think too. The pool and view is amazing. The apartment is only a few short blocks to the main shopping area. I was extremely sad when I had to leave this place. I wished I could live their forever, ha! Thomas was also beyond helpful and very quick to respond to any questions I had. Smooth transaction. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay while in Kihea. Thank you Thomas for everything!!!

Thomas was an absolutely amazing host. This place is in a great location. My girlfriend and I were vey impressed with this upscale modernized condo. Thomas went above and beyond to help assist me with all my needs and request. I would highly recommend EVERYONE to stay here. Thank you Thomas for such an enjoyable stay and your awesome hospitality. Side note, if you like tacos and are looking for a low key simple food truck feel one I evening, eat at the Guadalajara taco stand! It helps support the church and the food is absolutely AMAZING!

My stay was awesome! Great location. Felt really removed yet close to everything. Host was very attentive. Had a minor plumbing issue which can happen anywhere and he was quick to resolve the issue! Very pleased with my stay and would totally stay there again.

John was a very gracious and welcoming host. He shared some excellent tips with us about local attractions and hikes. Beds were very comfortable and the rooms provided everything we required for the 2-night stay.

We were so pleased with this place. The entire unit was cozy with everything you need. The host was nice and provided free excursions. The location was good and we would go back....

We had an amazing time on our first ever trip to Kauai. We were escorted on adventures we would have never found or experienced without our incredible guide, Chris. At the beginning and end of each and every day we enjoyed an incredible meal that often exceeded that of a four or five star dining experience. The combination of meals that required seconds (and sometimes thirds), breathtaking tours that brought us to amazing sights, local-only adventures and great company from both fellow travelers, chef and guide created memories that will last a life time. In the event we were ever to experience a lapse in memory, we were sent home with a video to memorialize our trip. Looking forward to the next incredible adventure with Chris.

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!

My boyfriend and I had a fantastic stay! We did the all inclusive and while it was more expensive it was definitely worth it! Between food, transportation, and excursions we may have spent about the same on our own, but not have the knowledge of our guide. There was more than enough snacks and drinks in our room, and the meals were great. Our guide really tailored our trip to our tastes, and showed us some stuff we would have never known about had we done it on our own. Amazing experience!

Great place to stay close to the nature, loved the three goats. Our host provided us with good tips to visit the island and with snorkelling gear to enjoy it fully! John is a very attentive host. Warmly recommended!

My husband and I loved the room because it included a kitchenette (and all the tools we needed), a washroom and a balcony with a great view. Everything was clean and there was lots of room for our luggage. We had booked prior to the listing becoming all inclusive, but Chris generously included us on a day trip that would be part of the all inclusive package. We saw waterfalls and went to a turtle cave. Chris had snorkelling gear for us and my husband was delighted to use it and see turtles and fish. He also took us for the best shave ice on the islands. We rented a car and could reach anywhere on the island within an hour. There were beaches within 10 minutes of driving.

This rooms and hosts are awesome! Dena is so kind and funny:) And the room is clean and good location. We can't say anything with out good!! I would like to stay again:)

The perfect tiny get away in Waikiki. Adorable (exactly as pictured) and close to everything. It is small (not a lot of room for luggage), but it was absolutely perfect for our first 4 days of married life. The building has an amazing breakfast spot (The Cream Pot) and secure parking ($25 a day).

Dana was a great host! She was flexible with our late arrival time to help us check it. Great location and would recommend the spot to anyone

The apartment was great, even better than the photos! Communication with Dana was swift and on point, we had a great experience. I'd definitely recommend this apartment to anyone in Waikikin!

Awesome. We loved looking out the windows that wrapped the room.

This place is great! Dana did a wonderful job with communication. It is as posted - the pictures did a good job portraying everything and we were super tired when we arrived late so we didn't realize there were blinds as well as curtains (embarrassing)

Another smooth and easy stay in Waikiki. Clean room and easy walk to the strip/beach

Great location! Dana was helpful and we had a wonderful stay.

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.

Great place to stay for me and my wife, we really felt great in the apartment- it is so spacious, cozy and bright, yeah - ALL walls have windows, and we loved that, and the way it's decorated makes the ambiance lovely! Great location in terms of weather- the city is on the dry side of the island - during our 5 nights stay in December it rained only once for a couple of hours - so we appreciated being able to spend full evenings on the patio/deck. As for the host, we were very glad to know her, she is so charming and discreet and and helpful - very toughtfull of her to put in the fridge a light dinner for hungry guests arriving late in the night. Definitely, we'll come back and we highly recommend this place and the host to anyone willing to visit Oahu. MIke V and Anca P, Toronto, Canada.

Hope was very kind friendly and hospitable. The Room very nice. Well equipped with everything and we mean really everything. A very comfy kingsize bed. Two minutes to the little local beach was a scoop and every day the seaturtles came up to get a nap. Would definitely go there again. Tage and Kate

We loved staying at Hope's "Romantic Treehouse." Hope was so nice and so helpful in guiding us with key places to see and great restaurants to eat at. Her place was very safe and the parking was great! It was in the carport and the apartment was right under the carport. The local beach was nice and we even got to swim with the sea turtles. Hope had everything you would ever need for an amazing stay in Oahu. Her apartment had a perfect sized kitchen that was clean and very cute. She had books, cable TV, movies, table games, a porch, the nicest dog named Sam and a really sweet Cat named Rainbow. We really enjoyed getting to know Hope and even though we didn't see much of each other, it was like we already knew her. She made us feel so comfortable. We were there only a short time, but it really felt like home for those days. When we checked out, we felt sad because we would have liked to stay longer. It was our first time in Hawaii, and Hope's place made our stay awesome! We hope we can stay here again when we come back and we would highly recommend Hope's place our friends. It is exactly what she states, Affordable and Romantic!

Hope was a fabulous and generous hostess and we loved her dog and kitty too! We were there at a very exciting time weather-wise and it is lots of fun to be up in the treehouse during a dramatic rainstorm! She has all the beach gear you'd ever need. The studio is clean comfortable and homey feeling. Two minute walk to a beautiful beach, what more could you ask

Awesome place to stay! We loved the accommodations, the tree house has everything you need to have a great week in Hawaii. Very nice having a full kitchen, bbq, nice tv with cable, snorkel gear, kayaks, bikes, ice chests, full sized fridge, and washer and dryer. The beach is a 30 second walk which has turtles and a beautiful view. We hiked Mt Ka'ala which is 5 minutes away, this was a spectacular hike, had 12-15 vertical climbs that required cable and rope assistance that were on the trail. We also went to Waikiki 3 times, the North Shore, the Dole Pineapple plant, hiked Mt Olomana on the East side. At shrimp scampi shrimp plates on 3 different occasions, I think Mike's on the East side was the best even though Giovanni's on the North Shore is the original. It is great staying with a local as Hope was an awesome resource for all of our questions. She even gave me some duct tape to fix my broken flip flops. She also had a mens size 12 for me to borrow. NICE!!! The shower in the bathroom is also very nice with new tile and large shower head. Hands down one of the best places I've stayed on this Island and I have been there several times.

Excellent spot and generous host

My stay here was excellent !!! very clean and very comfortable, I would stay here again in a heartbeat ! the beach is less than a two minute walk from the house and it's one of the most beautiful beaches I've seen. No one really around, it's very private and I've never seen so many turtles in one day :) it has great snorkeling too. I had a wonderful stay :) thank you so much

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!

A couple we know recommended this bungalow back in 2012; we sought it out for use during our 2014 Waimanalo Beach wedding and follow-on honeymoon. Bottom line up front: Fantastic experience; my wife and I would absolutely stay here again. We are a gay couple; we felt nothing but warmth and acceptance from our hosts and wonderful Kailua town. Cheri answered questions promptly and provided really helpful information during the whole process--from booking the bungalow over a year in advance through the end of our 10-day stay. She is quick to respond to questions and provides lots of helpful info and input. Cheri and her husband first welcomed us as we pulled in to the driveway. Cheri then gave us a tour of the property and the bungalow. Welcome gifts, little surprises, useful local info--it was all there. We could tell a lot of thoughtful attention to detail and care had gone into this place. It made all the difference! The bungalow was comfortable, clean, romantic, and exactly what we were looking for as fiancees and newlyweds. Every once and a while we heard someone walking on the floor above (part of the bungalow sits below the main residence). It was a minor thing we easily forgot and overlooked. The pros of this place more than make up for this con. Some of the most memorable parts of our stay included: -arrival gifts (the ground coffee lasted us the whole 10 days!), -surprise sparkling wine on our doorstep after we got married, -breakfast from the Kalapawai Market next door (kalua pork burrito!), -the perfect proximity to Kailua Beach, the hustle & bustle of Waikiki, and the North Shore, -spending lots of time reading & relaxing in the garden room (the day bed is crazy comfortable), -the numerous amenities. The location of this place can't be beat and it is a major benefit of staying here. For instance, if you're military, it's a short and easy drive to Kaneohe MCBH for shopping (alcohol, commissary, Marine Mart, etc.). It's an easy drive to the heart of Kailua town (farmer's market, Longs Drugs, Whole Foods, etc.) and a quick walk to Kailua Beach, Lanikai Beach, the awesome Kalapawai Market, some restaurants and some shopping. Also, we highly recommend Cheri's restaurant recommendations--they were all just great (especially The Food Company)! When we return to Oahu, this will be our first choice of residence. The secret is out--book early!

Great place to stay. Convenient access to the beach. House was clean and very comfortable. Had a wonderful time.

My husband and I spent 2 weeks on the island of Oahu. We spent one week on the north shore and one week at Cheri's bungalow. Our favorite part of our trip was staying in Kailua for the location, beach, and great accommodations at Cheri’s bungalow. The bungalow really is a unique place; it felt like a home away from home - set in paradise. It was very comfortable, quite, and private. We made many trips to the market next door, went for walks on the beach every evening while we watched the kite sailors, and made a couple of trips to Honolulu to surf Waikiki. Cheri and Scott are very respectful and kind people that make you feel welcome and embody the spirit of Aloha.

Cheri and Scott were great hosts! Their home is beautiful and very clean. A few steps to the beach trough the amazing garden, and close to the quiet town of Kailua. They offered good advice on places to visit, eat, etc. We really enjoyed the stay and would love to go back any time!!

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!

Blair and I had an awesome time at the bungalow - everything we needed was there for us and could not ask for more! Cheri and Scott made us feel very welcome and special. The photos on Airbnb are selling the place very well, but the bungalow is even more magic when you are there and get to spend time relaxing and enjoying it - we definitely made the most of it! It was wonderful to share a bottle of wine with Cheri and Scott's at their place on our last rainy day of our stay - we enjoyed their company and exchanging stories with them about travelling and life style. We would definitely love to go back!

We had a lovely 2 weeks at the Kailua Beach Bungalow. Cheri and Scott we very pleasant to deal with. They gave us lots of ideas of things to do and see in the area, as well as excellent restaurant recommendations. The bungalow is stocked with pretty much anything you could need as well as lots of little extra treats, which we loved. It was amazing to just open the back gate and be on the beach. If we were back in Kailua in the future we would look into staying here again.
