The Eco Hale was an amazing rainforest getaway! As other guests note, every little detail has been considered, making this the most "all inclusive" Airbnb properties I've ever encountered. Despite its petite dimensions, everything I could want was packed into this pleasant stand-alone cabin, and Kaeo was a lovely host.

It was a wonderful home base for adventures at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park and exploring the southeast corner of the island. I loved the sound of the frogs and birds and even thunderstorms for bedtime music. I picked fresh tangerines for the best-ever breakfast juice right from the lanai, and when I asked Kaeo about how to enjoy the fresh coconut, she got out her tools and helped me crack into it - there's nothing finer than fresh coconut water for an evening cocktail in the rainforest.

This isn't a beach resort, but in fact, I liked it better. It was fairly quiet, private, and truly exotic, but almost as comfortable as home. I hope to return someday with my husband in tow!
