Delightful Artful Bungalow on Historic Estate Property. Choice Holualoa!

10/10 Excellent
"We had the best stay there! The surroundings are so beautiful in pictures and picuresc: filled with blooming flowers, different types of fruit on the trees all around the largest state. It’s a place to get away from all the chaos of people to relax and just let your body catch up with your soul. I would recommend this place over and over and over! Lisa is just wonderful to work with. She is kind and thoughtful. Leave you alone but it’s very communicative to any needs.The room that we stayed in the Bungalow is small, but perfect! We mostly were outside in the deck area, enjoying coffee in the morning. The kitchen is spacious enough. I would only recommend maybe a small broom to have, but I did stay there longer than maybe most people I stayed 10 days.I would recommend this place highly for anybody who wants to get away and have quiet and enjoy peace in the mornings or afternoons or evenings. It’s just perfect and you can sit out and catch the sunset which is just beautiful.MahaloK.Graham"

"What an exceptional place! We had such a magical time. We stayed as a family of four including our kids ages 9 and 3. We all loved being able to walk right across the street to the gorgeous ocean and see the sea turtles eating in the tide pools. I even came across a monk seal sleeping on the beach - (and gave it plenty of space). The kids especially loved the backyard and we all enjoyed the swing so much! From the unobstructed views of Mauna Kea to the star gazing, it’s a lovely property you can enjoy at all times of the day or night and we made sure to do so. The furnishings are beautiful and the home was very clean. Everything we possibly needed was there, and the outdoor shower was a huge plus. This home made our 30th anniversary vacation so special! Thank you so much the lovely stay!"
