Location is perfect. Host is friendly and helpful but not intrusive. House is tastefully decorated and supplied with everything you might need. Perfect off grid location for a relaxing Puna vacation. We will return and recommend this house to others

Rainbow dreams is a wonderful cottage. It is the place where you can genuinely feel aloha.The cottage is pretty and well equipped.The setting can’t be beat. You can go across the road and sit by the shore and see all kinds of wildlife or you can sit up in a screened in porch and just relax the day away.

This lovely "get away from the world" cottage just keeps getting better and better every time we visit (we've been coming here since 2015). As always, the host was quick to respond to questions and details before the stay; I appreciate the speedy response! The cottage is, as all have noted, an opportunity to disconnect from daily duties and the pull of electronic communication; I can vouch that if you have Verizon, you can get your connection down Red Road at Kalani's--it's also exceptionally strong over at Leilani Estates. But, really, think hard before you go get "reconnected" to the world--the appeal at the cottage is to just relax and absorb what this very special part of Hawai'i has to offer--seclusion, the never-ending sound of crashing waves, watching birds and butterflies hover over the unique-to-Hawai'i landscape, discovery walks right outside the door and the beauty of the ocean right in front of you. Don't miss these! I play 'ukulele and cherish those hours sitting on the front porch, watching the waving palms and the sparkling waves.The cottage was clean, wonderfully decorated (including some vintage items) and easy to live in. The water is hot for showering and the kitchen is simple but well-stocked. Beds are comfortable with lovely linens.There are so many reasons we keep returning year after year. This is a tradition we never want to miss.
