The breeze was beautiful and comfortable at night. Be aware there is no TV or wifi, so be prepared to relax and enjoy the weather and read a good book. It was clean and the property was huge. It is close to black sand beach and not too far from the volcano. We would stay again! ##### Bark to Basics C.

Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Subramaniam G. 25 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### An Absolute Bliss When we booked at Kuleana Ranch, little did we realize that in addition to the compact cottage, we would get the huge property around the cottage for ourselves. Our mistake in staying for only two nights; we strongly recommend that future visitors should stay in this place for a minimum of three nights. There is also a large swimming pool all to yourself. Beautiful surroundings makes it imperative that you have your morning coffee in the verandah looking at the lush greenery and listening to birds. Vickie and Wesley were just a message away for any requirements. All amenities and supplies were adequate and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. This cottage runs completely on Solar Power making it such an environment friendly place. We do have just one recommendation if at all possible - Place theee or four solar lamps marking the pathway to the cottage. This so because our flight got delayed by five hours and we arrived past 10 pm and it was pitch dark. However, it was a nice adventure to the beginning of our Hawaii Trip. A most enjoyable experience. Thank you Vickie & Wesley. - From Ganesh & Vidhya ##### Subramaniam G.

Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Brian M. 25 Jan 2025 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Inaccurate Description The place is very small and extremely cut off from everything. There is NO Wifi, (which in the listing it says you will receive wifi login from host), very poor cell phone reception, and there is no television or anywhere to sit comfortably except on the bed. There were bugs in the unit and when we chose to leave after one night to say elsewhere because my friends girlfriend is pregnant and we needed to stay in touch but could not the host refused any type of refund. There are many other places with better and updated amenities for the price. I would not recommend this place. ##### Brian M. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Emily P. 19 Jun 2018 #### Clean, cute and remote This is a darling little home away from everything. It was a little difficult to find, because google couldn't map the exact location, however, we did find it eventually. There were just a couple of issues: The place was clean except for small animal poops on the bedspread and nightstand. It wasn't a deal-breaker, and there's sure to be little critters running around in remote areas such as this. Luckily there were spare blankets, so we simply replaced ours. Another tiny issue was that the hot water wasn't exactly 'hot'. I realize it is solar heated, so I can understand why, but it was very chilly and rainy while we were there, and a hot shower would have been really nice. At best, it was luke warm, so just a heads up. Also, it isn't completely private. There are two other homes on the property, one of which was occupied. The window in the shower was completely uncovered, so we had to put up a little make-shift privacy with some paper we found, because I showered in the evening and didn't want to be over-exposed to the neighbors. We were charged for using the hand towels to clean off the patio furniture, so maybe bring something you can clean things off with, because you won't be allowed to use them for this purpose. One last tiny thing: I did find a cockroach in my makeup bag, so keep things zipped up! Overall, we enjoyed our stay, it really is a beautiful little place with beautiful ceilings and all the amenities you need. ##### Emily P.

This place is magic. I spend my mornings on the back porch drinking coffee and laughing at the local busyness of ferrets who live somewhere nearby. If you prefer true, uncluttered, pristine solitude, this is your place. The cabana is open and airy (I prefer to keep the multitude of windows and sliding doors fully open). The grounds are open and full of wildlife, which includes a huge, above ground, salt water swimming pool. It is remarkably warm all the time, and I take as much advantage as I can. The owners are amazing. They are open, available, and genuinely good people. They were never more than a few minutes away should I need anything. Keep in mind this is not a tourist destination. I lived here for a little over a month. There is no beach or night life access here. It is a retreat. Should you be looking for retreat, contemplation and quiet, I suggest you sign up quickly. ##### Joseph M.

The night sky was amazing as was the proximity to black & green sand beaches. We really appreciated the quiet. \*Try to get there in daylight to check in as the road is dark at night. Once you’re checked in you’ll be comfortable driving the road at night if you need to. ##### Christian B. Stayed 1 night in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian S. 12 May 2019 #### Enough off the beaten track, but with all the amenities Location - in the under populated sw corner of Hawaii Island, a quick drive into the nearest village Situation - in a field well away from others Property - a fairly new small house, well equipped and provisioned. No air conditioning but very good through breeze and a little altitude make it very comfortable for annuls with some acclimatization Views - surrounding hills and fields dominate. Not the burbs. Bonus- most excellent coffee Notable - not super easy to find as both gps and Google send you to the wrong end of the street. Once at the property a bit of driving through a field is required. Recommend arriving in daylight ##### Brian S. Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ---
