Clean, relaxing, comfortable, and with an amazing host! Krissy made us feel at home with her warm and hospitable personality. The space was tucked away in a lovely neighborhood central to all our sightseeing points on the east side of the island.

Everything was as advertised. Beautiful setting & very clean & comfortable, and you can't beat the lush view off the upstairs balcony !
The owner of this property was a wonderful hostess. She had some great eating suggestions, and also baked us some tasteful treats.
All in All: Excellent Place to Stay !

This a lovingly maintained property, and Christine is a gracious host. Youʻll marvel at the profusion of plants in her garden and in the rainforest that partly surrounds her property, all visible from a lovely lanai off this second-story suite! Comfortable and serene -- a genuine taste of Hawaii life far from the tourist resorts.

This is a special place owned and run by a special lady. The location is excellent with marvelous destinations nearby—if you can tear yourself away from the second floor deck ten feet away from the picture-perfect rain forest. Needless to add, it is highly recommended.

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!
