Tropical Cabana w/ Deck, Hot Tub & Lush Scenery!

Reviews

• Tropical getaway

  4/5

  Mapquest got us to the house easily. The hosts helped us with everything we needed. We chose the house for the hot tub because my husband has chronic back pain and hot tub jets help him relax. The hot tub did not have jets that massaged. They just moved the water slightly and only lasted for 5 minutes. That made our stay very difficult for my husband. Also the layout of bathrooms to bedrooms was unusual. All in all we had a good time but not as great as we’d hoped for.

• Excellent unique hideaway

  5/5

  This was just the right amount of funky in this spot. It's a very unusual house in a quiet (except for the local wildlife) area. Layout is weird but workable. The kitchen had all the basics for cooking, tons of linens in the bath, "smart" TV (bring your logins). It's 2 miles from the main road, so stop by the grocery store first. And bonus friendly kitty from next door!

  Shared from the owner: "Aloha Nicolette, many thanks for sharing your review—we’re so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay! As you noted, the home is truly one of a kind, having been featured on HGTV after a skilled shipwright transformed a redwood water tower into a distinctive and charming retreat. Nestled on two acres beside a nature preserve, the setting offers peaceful seclusion, where birdsong fills the day and evenings bring a chorus of frogs and breathtaking stargazing.We look forward to welcoming you back on your next Big Island adventure. Mahalo!"

• Beautiful and private

  Fun place to stay. Lush plants surround the property. So nice to sit on the deck in the evening listening to the birds and frogs. Feels very private.

  From the owner: "Aloha Joleen, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. As you noted, it is very private as it is on 2 acres adjacent to a large nature preserve. Hoping that you harvested organic fruit from the garden areas and hiked the trail just outside the entry gate. Hope to welcome you back for your next visit to the Big Island, mahalo!"

• perfect for visiting family

  4/5

  This property suited our needs completely--close to family, room for everyone, a place to cook meals, comfortable sleeping and relaxing areas, laundry facilities and just a cool house. The house embodies the "aloha" spirit. Mahalos!
