"This is my second time I wanted to show my granddaughter why her Nana is moving to Hawaii and this is one of the places she fell in love with her. I fell in love with the place has been renovated, so it’s very shiny and clean, but only takes secondsplace when it comes to the view always moving. Unpredictable and so much marine life this time we saw dolphins and turtles. The Dolphins were showing off. I’d like to share some of the pictures of this home and I must say the pictures do not do it justice! Mahalo"

"An idyllic place with great hosts. Would like to come back one day."

"We stayed here for almost two weeks. Kelly was amazing. She was always whipping up different types of breakfasts. She was so cute and so talkative. Her food was really good. (If you are like me however, ask for pancakes or french toast or crepes) she loves to cook Mexican style breakfast but it didn’t always sit right with me. Then I told her about and she said, “well you should have told me earlier!” We both laughed. And it was excellent there after. Her place is very cozy and calm. I loved how clean everything was and I love that she had the filtered water. I filled my water bottle with it everyday. She had lots of treats and ice creams for us. All included of course! She was so sweet, I hope to someday go back and bring my adult children. :) Thank you Kelly! Staying with you made the trip even better! We love you “Auntie!” Love Kyle and Stef "

"What a fabulous place. Loved the cottage, the chickens, and the location. Even got to see Kilauea erupting. Can't wait to come back again."

"Excellent stay!! We had everything we needed and were very close to Volcanoes National Park!!"

"We travel a lot but this was by far the best vacation rentals we have stayed so far! The house is beautiful and has a breathtaking view. It practically has everything you need and also offers plenty of beach items and snorkeling gears. We also loved the thoughtful welcome gifts of Hawaiian treats. We would love to return to this beautiful rental when we go back to the big island!"

"We loved our stay at Kehena house! We were greeted by Stephen when we arrived and given a quick tour. They were hosting a Pride potluck that day and he kindly invited us to come eat and join in as guests of the house. Everyone we met was friendly and we felt safe to be ourselves. In the room, there was a list of unique weekly activities and opportunities near by, which made the experience feel even more welcoming. The property is *amazing*. Might as well be a mini botanical gardens between the flowers, fawna, and the fruit trees. You can tell its cared for, but not obsessively manicured, a natural look. The inside of the house looks better than the pictures, perfectly clean. Thoughtful touches as well. I selected the room that is more exposed to the outside night noises, and ear plugs were provided (i didnt need them, I enjoyed the experience). There is a house cat, but she minds to herself and was friendly when approached. I enjoyed the serenity of the outdoor shower one morning. It was so peaceful, great water pressure too. The bathtub available is deep and looked great for soaking tired traveler muscles, but I didnt use it. We did walk down to the beach. There is no specific easy path down, but there are some trails and it wasnt too difficult. The water was way too rough to get in when we visited, but we got some great pics. I plan to stay here again next time I visit Hawaii. "

"Perfect location for 2 people visiting Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Staying this close made it easy to get to the park to see the latest eruption. The garden on site is beautiful. Some other reviews complained about not having hot water, the host clearly states it takes a while, so just give it time. And yes we saw a spider, took two seconds to remedy that. It's in the middle of a rainforest which is beautiful, but if you want to be in nature, you might just see nature. So don't let those reviews scare you off. We will definitely be recommending this place to friends and hope to stay again the next time we visit the park. "

"This pace was paradise, serein and absolutely beautiful… we spent a week at kalani and didn’t want to leave… a dream . "
