"Our stay at Jim and Kim’s property was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by peaceful beauty—breathtaking views, gentle breezes, and the soothing sounds of nature, from roosters to cows in the distance. It felt like pure serenity.Jim and Kim were phenomenal hosts—kind, welcoming, and genuinely thoughtful. One moment that especially touched us was when we asked if we could pick a banana from the trees for our daughter, who absolutely loves bananas. Not only did they say yes, but the next day, after returning from an excursion, we found that they had lovingly cut and gifted us an entire bunch. It made our day, and we were able to share the delicious fruit with our visiting family—who couldn’t stop raving about how amazing they tasted!The property itself is a little haven. My daughter and I adored spotting geckos and gently “befriending” them with fallen papayas. Their sweet dog was a joy to see around the property, and every sunrise, sunset, and star-filled night felt magical.Even our family from Honoka‘a and Waimea, who came to visit us during our stay, were blown away by the peaceful views and said they wished they could stay with us just to experience that same sense of calm.This place is more than a vacation rental—it’s a peaceful retreat filled with heart, beauty, and the warmth of two genuinely kind hosts. We are beyond grateful for the experience and would return in a heartbeat."

"This is our second stay at the property. It’s got a lovely back porch and view! We love walking the grounds and plucking fruit off the trees to sample!"

"We just wrapped up five unforgettable days at Hale Luana, and I honestly don’t have enough words to describe how special it was. This home was everything I had dreamed of and more—a true slice of paradise.From the moment we arrived, we felt at peace. Tucked into lush greenery with breathtaking ocean views, it was the perfect setting for our family to gather, relax, and celebrate our daughter’s wedding. Every detail of the home made it feel warm, welcoming, and intentionally designed for families to make lasting memories.The spacious layout, the incredible lanai, the cozy bedrooms—it all felt like home, but better. Hale Luana truly lives up to its name, offering a heavenly place to connect, unwind, and soak in the beauty of Hawaii. There was such a feeling of peace here. Thank you for sharing this beautiful space with us!"

"We had great directions and notes left by host which made finding the cabin easy with little cell reception.We got there a little early and enjoyed the grounds, hiking and checking out the river and waterfalls.The host found us on the property and let us know our cabin was ready for early check in which was great and very accommodating because we got a nap in before going to our event we had to attend.Very helpful and responsive. WiFi is great too.Grounds are peaceful and beautiful. My family of 4 fit perfectly. I would definitely recommend. "
