This property was perfect for our large multi generational family. Everyone had their own space while still being close to each other. The kids loved being able to be in the pool while everyone else hung out in the outdoor living area. Our host Esther was great. Communications was easy and she was so nice.

Trying to find a place for 14 people ranging in ages from 2 - 86, is not so easy. Communication with the owners before booking the Promise Tree was so helpful! They got back to me so quickly! We arrived quite early, and Esther was kind enough to allow us an early check in. It was pouring rain and as we were trying to place everyone in the best rooms for our entourage, Esther came over and explained where everything was, and how things worked. The property is so big and absolutely beautiful! They have everything you will need while you’re there. Pack and plays, beach chairs, snorkel gear, even water shoes in sizes for almost everyone. Coolers, wagons, umbrellas! The pool was used every day, rain or shine!It was such a great fit for our large family. Thank you Esther for your prompt replies to my many questions! Your communication is stellar! Thank you for your kindness, and creating such a wonderful place for families to gather. MahaloSteve and Debbie Vega

Spectacular place!

All of our family loved staying at The Promise Tree! The pool was perfect for a range of swimming skills, and the huge lanai, with a gorgeous view of sky and sea and stars (and all its seating and outdoor dining areas) was far beyond what we expected! Our hosts Esther and Josh were incredibly responsive and ery generous. We would highly recommend this property to any family group wanting to make the best of the Big Island visit!

This is a wonderful property! It is in a beautiful area and quiet neighborhood. Quick access to the shopping areas and restaurants. The views are spectacular and we even saw a few whales spouting. The buildings are separated but it has an outdoor living room/kitchen area by the pool where you can gather. The hosts are very friendly and responsive. We loved spending time here!!

Esther and Josh were amazing hosts and we had a wonderful family vacation with 13 of us at their beautiful Kona home. We had everything we needed for our week long stay and wish we could have stayed much longer. The property is even more beautiful than the photos and was perfect for the kids and adults, everyone had their own space when needed and the outdoor BBQ area was amazing for family dinners.
