The cottage was very quiet and relaxing. The breeze was beautiful and comfortable at night. Be aware there is no TV or wifi, so be prepared to relax and enjoy the weather and read a good book. It was clean and the property was huge. It is close to black sand beach and not too far from the volcano. We would stay again!

Secluded, peaceful, and a total Aloha experience. Loved waking to birds singing. The privacy of this property, including the pool, was heavenly. We stayed nearly 2 weeks and wish we could have stayed even longer.

Thanks again for opening you’re place to us. This was our fifth winter vacation to Hawaii and this was by far the most private, comfortable, and relaxing vacation to date! Thank you for everything you had to offer, we very much appreciated it.

The place is very small and extremely cut off from everything. There is NO Wifi, (which in the listing it says you will receive wifi login from host), very poor cell phone reception, and there is no television or anywhere to sit comfortably except on the bed. There were bugs in the unit and when we chose to leave after one night to say elsewhere because my friends girlfriend is pregnant and we needed to stay in touch but could not the host refused any type of refund. There are many other places with better and updated amenities for the price. I would not recommend this place.

When we booked at Kuleana Ranch, little did we realize that in addition to the compact cottage, we would get the huge property around the cottage for ourselves. Our mistake in staying for only two nights; we strongly recommend that future visitors should stay in this place for a minimum of three nights. There is also a large swimming pool all to yourself. Beautiful surroundings makes it imperative that you have your morning coffee in the verandah looking at the lush greenery and listening to birds. Vickie and Wesley were just a message away for any requirements. All amenities and supplies were adequate and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. This cottage runs completely on Solar Power making it such an environment friendly place. We do have just one recommendation if at all possible - Place theee or four solar lamps marking the pathway to the cottage. This so because our flight got delayed by five hours and we arrived past 10 pm and it was pitch dark. However, it was a nice adventure to the beginning of our Hawaii Trip. A most enjoyable experience. Thank you Vickie & Wesley. - From Ganesh & Vidhya

It was a joy and relief to be in this lovely, quiet space in a natural setting. Near enough to the ocean and town if desired.

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.

Cozy cottage with everything we needed to get away from it all. Vickie was a fantastic host and her coffee was delicious!

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!
