It was beautiful. Quiet and lots of space.
My husband and I stayed here a couple nights on our honeymoon and we loved it! The property is in a lush, green environment and we went on runs/walks often to enjoy all the beauty. The room was wonderful, the shower had three shower heads, and the jacuzzi looks into a beautiful view of the greenery and sky. Christine was so thoughtful in providing everything we needed to feel comfortable, from house slippers to laundry amenities, and beyond. She also was very hospitable, gave helpful suggestions of activities available nearby. Overall a great experience!
We chose this property mainly because of how close it was to where our family lives in Pahoa. That being said, if we were to come visit again this property would definitely be a top choice. Christine was very hospitable and friendly and super quick to answer any questions we had about the property and its amenities.
My brother and I had a great stay at the house in Leilani estates. It was very peaceful and quiet. The house was nice and secluded in the Hawaiian jungle. There were lots of beautiful palm trees and various other kinds of fruit trees and plants. The hostess was great. She cooked a meal and invited us to share on several occations. She was a wonderful hostess. This was an overall outstanding stay at this location.
This was my first hosted property, and at first I was hesitant. But as soon as I met the host-Krysti, I instantly felt welcome, and at the end of the trip was really glad I took the chance on something new. She was very knowledgeable about the area and was able to give food and activities recommendations. And one of my favorite things was the meditation room. I was there for work and pleasure so the room came in handy more than once haha. Oh and can’t forget about the jungle sounds and stars at night! Best sleep I’ve had in years! Highly recommend staying here, you won’t regret it.
This was a very relaxing and clean spot. The tree frogs chirping at night was extremely soothing. We felt safe and learned a lot about the island from Chrissy. Her cookies were to die for!
The owner of this property was a wonderful hostess. I felt very welcome. The bed was comfy and you can't beat the view off the balcony!
This was one of the reasons I love Hawaii. It was quiet, clean, and beautiful! The owner was so very kind and very respectful. I highly recommend this property for all travelers. Thank you for making my stay magical.
The property was beyond expectations and more than we could have imagined! The wildlife, nature and rainforest setting were simply amazing. Sitting outside soaking in the natural beauty is a highlight that will be treasured forever. Our impression is that the property is well maintained, and the value of nature is respected by the owners. Clean, charming and serene all come to mind when describing this property. Will definitely be back!
Owner lives in the house...didn't catch that when booking, but Christine is a wealth of knowledge and a pure joy to stay with! You have full use of the house...kitchen, laundry and amazing tub for soaking. The property is private with all, if not more, comforts of home. I would give Christine 10 star review if I could! Mahalo!!???
The house is tucked into the Hawaiian rainforest with various flowers and fruit trees all around. It sports a vibrant volcano theme and lots of relaxing natural lighting. The host, Krisy, is a master baker and crafter, having made some of the colorful and thematic furniture herself. A sublime experience!
