Wonderful!

Our family loved our stay at the ‘Promise Tree’. The grounds were beautiful. The kids loved exploring. The buildings had character and were very comfortable and clean. Great views, lovely tropical feel. I can’t say enough about it, a must see. Esther was helpful and prompt responding to questions. The place had a real family feel which we appreciated. Thank you for the perfect place to vacation. Sheri

About the host

Hosted by Josh Cameron or Esther Lehmann

Our extended family lived next door to this amazing property for 5 years. When the previous owners, Burl and Debbie decided to sell it and retire, it was a huge blessing to buy it. We use it as our family property and book it on VRBO when it's not in use. We have family hosting it and feel that it is a very special place. We welcome you to come and rest at our Promise Tree Hienaloli Retreat.

Why they chose this property

This property is uniquely laid out to accommodate large multi-generational families or groups of people that want to stay together but also have their individual space. There are separate bedroom suites that allow for time alone combined with large outdoor spaces to gather and enjoy beautiful Hawaii.
