Martina’s place is the perfect Big Island paradise. If you want a quiet retreat with a gorgeous sunset / ocean view up in the Palisades away from the hustle and bustle of Kailua, where temperature’s a bit cooler, then Martina’s is the place to be!
I stayed with James and Martina for a month, and the place was thoughtfully stocked with everything you need for a longer term stay. The kitchen is beautiful and has every amenity, there’s a grill on the gorgeous lanai for a quick and delicious dinner with a new. The smart TV is well connected and the internet blazing fast, with an extra HDMI cable to spare if you want to take advantage of the big screen for work ◡̈ the in-unit laundry / dryer is a must for all the beach adventures.
To top it all off, James and Martina are gracious hosts with amazing stories to tell, and the hostess with the mostest is their cat Minimo who will stop by for cuddles and attention by politely meowing in front of your doorstep. I’d love to stay with James and Martina again if the opportunity arises!
