Creative South Point Experience
Polar opposite of staying in a standard hotel. I completely enjoyed the freedom to take in this unique environment. Every detail was obviously thought out and I especially appreciated the woodworking detail. Mahalo for you thoughtful hospitality. Tim

The rental was quiet, peaceful, private, and very clean. It's in close proximity to the village of Naalehu and within easy driving distance of the trailhead for the Green Sand Beach.

Wonderful peaceful getaway near South Point and close enough for a trip to Volcano National Park.
Cozy cottage with everything we needed to get away from it all. Vickie was a fantastic host and her coffee was delicious!

Quiet seclusion in Ka'u!
This property was the perfect respite after visits to south point and green sands beach. Very secluded and quiet, well appointed and thought out. A definite recommend! The owners quickly sorted out a very unique situation with another set of guests. Thank you Vickie and Wes!

True Paradise
Wow, just wow. What a slice of heaven. We couldn't have asked for a better stay. The only problem was we didn't have more time to spend here. The property is spacious and private. Ocean and sunrise views? Yup! The cottage itself is very well designed, well maintained, and super clean. All of the amenities to make us feel at home were at our fingertips. Highly recommended to stay at this location!

Immensely enjoyed the private paradise under the stars. It was so quiet and peaceful. Enjoyed taking a dip in the above ground pool and sitting under the stars on the lanai with the company of tiki torches.

Wonderful, queit, solitude....
This place is magic. I spend my mornings on the back porch drinking coffee and laughing at the local busyness of ferrets who live somewhere nearby. If you prefer true, uncluttered, pristine solitude, this is your place. The cabana is open and airy (I prefer to keep the multitude of windows and sliding doors fully open). The grounds are open and full of wildlife, which includes a huge, above ground, salt water swimming pool. It is remarkably warm all the time, and I take as much advantage as I can. The owners are amazing. They are open, available, and genuinely good people. They were never more than a few minutes away should I need anything. Keep in mind this is not a tourist destination. I lived here for a little over a month. There is no beach or night life access here. It is a retreat. Should you be looking for retreat, contemplation and quiet, I suggest you sign up quickly.

Escape from Resorts/ Off the Grid/ Brilliant Night Sky
This property was off the grid and was a refreshing break from the tourist scene. The night sky was amazing as was the proximity to black & green sand beaches. We really appreciated the quiet. *Try to get there in daylight to check in as the road is dark at night. Once you’re checked in you’ll be comfortable driving the road at night if you need to.

Enough off the beaten track, but with all the amenities
Location - in the under populated sw corner of Hawaii Island, a quick drive into the nearest village Situation - in a field well away from others Property - a fairly new small house, well equipped and provisioned. No air conditioning but very good through breeze and a little altitude make it very comfortable for annuls with some acclimatization Views - surrounding hills and fields dominate. Not the burbs. Bonus- most excellent coffee Notable - not super easy to find as both gps and Google send you to the wrong end of the street. Once at the property a bit of driving through a field is required. Recommend arriving in daylight

Clean, cute and remote
This is a darling little home away from everything. It was a little difficult to find, because google couldn't map the exact location, however, we did find it eventually. There were just a couple of issues: The place was clean except for small animal poops on the bedspread and nightstand. It wasn't a deal-breaker, and there's sure to be little critters running around in remote areas such as this. Luckily there were spare blankets, so we simply replaced ours. Another tiny issue was that the hot water wasn't exactly 'hot'. I realize it is solar heated, so I can understand why, but it was very chilly and rainy while we were there, and a hot shower would have been really nice. At best, it was luke warm, so just a heads up. Also, it isn't completely private. There are two other homes on the property, one of which was occupied. The window in the shower was completely uncovered, so we had to put up a little make-shift privacy with some paper we found, because I showered in the evening and didn't want to be over-exposed to the neighbors. We were charged for using the hand towels to clean off the patio furniture, so maybe bring something you can clean things off with, because you won't be allowed to use them for this purpose. One last tiny thing: I did find a cockroach in my makeup bag, so keep things zipped up! Overall, we enjoyed our stay, it really is a beautiful little place with beautiful ceilings and all the amenities you need.
