"The ocean view while sipping our morning coffee was breathtaking. Jim was incredibly helpful and fun to talk to! We had all the privacy and quiet we needed for a relaxing vacation. "

"This place was amazing! So clean and SO creative. Lots of cute frog-themed touches. They definitely put heart in to developing this oasis. Definitely arrive in the afternoon if possible so you can enjoy the property. The waterfalls and creeks are gorgeous! Be sure to eat before you arrive or bring food, as nearby options are limited. We are SO happy that we stayed here. Xoxo "

"The property was great! Very relaxing yet still had all the essentials. It was super fun walking the property and enjoying all the fresh fruit! Star gazing in the hot tub was also enjoyable. Overall we enjoyed our stay so much & had so much fun exploring the big island. Only downside is the closest beach is about a 20 minute drive and there is no AC so it can get warm during the day, but wasn’t a problem at night."

"The staff was very accommodating and helpful. Thank you to the wonderful staff."

"Great place to stay. Thank you so much!!"

"Great location. We wanted seclusion and it did not disappoint. I see some reviews complaining about the road to the house but that is what I loved. The connecting road is a little steep and bumpy but to get away from the crowds or tourists' areas, I can put up with a little rough road. We rented a Jeep because we planned on going to hard-to-reach beaches, etc., and did not have any problems. I do have to mention that the description of the property is not correct on the Vrbo page. The very first words in the listing says, "Entire house", which is not entirely true. There are other people that live in the house on the first level. However, the care takers that live there are very nice people and helpful. They were helpful in getting us in the house because the door lock code that was sent to us was wrong/old. In addition, the book of instructions inside the house also has an expired code. These are all minor things that did not cramp our style at all.Thanks "

"What an absolutely delightful stay! This was our favorite place of all during our week on the island. We loved the decor and of course the gardens. The location was perfect for us. The only thing lacking was more time on our agenda for a longer stay. Mahalo Darin!"

"Everything was as advertised. Very relaxing stay in Waimea town with a good view of Mauna Kea. No issues with the property or neighborhood. "

"My family stayed here for a week for celebrations and a family reunion. The property is stunning and the hosts are kind, welcoming and well-informed on the area and property. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen extremely well-equipped (a vitamix!) The hosts are good communicators and I would highly recommend this place for a big group looking for lots of space in a remote area of Hawaii island. One thing potential guests will want to know-- although we found this place very comfortable, it might not be comfortable for everyone. The ride to the property from the highway is 20 minutes uphill on a bumpy road. There are no shortcuts and if you have a bad back, it might not work for you. Also, there is no heat in the bedrooms. It can get chilly at night, so make sure everyone in your party is well-aware to bring extra layers. I would absolutely recommend Ahu Lani to a group of crunchy travelers who enjoy hiking and cooking together. It's a very very special place."
