Lex is a Star Host

Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.

This is a breathtaking space that our family has poured many decades and multiple generations into. We are surrounded by jungle, with a freshwater stream running through the entire property and unobstructed mountain views. You are welcome to explore the grounds and enjoy the land. Chickens roam freely, with the occasional pig sightings in the evening. We do have a fair bit of bugs and geckos. If you’re especially sensitive to mosquitos, this might not be the place for you! Waimanalo is a small agricultural town filled with nurseries, horse stables, and a high concentration of Hawaiian homes. It remains mostly undeveloped and authentic, and we aim to keep it that way. While nestled against the mountains, we're just a five minute drive from the beach. We are fifteen minutes from Kailua town, where you'll find several grocery stores, shops, and restaurants. There are so many great beach and land activities nearby, and I'm happy to lead you in the direction of whatever you might be interested in! We are very protective of this land and town, but would love to share the space with respectful travelers looking for an authentic experience. While we are very hospitable, we are not in the business of hospitality. This is a working farm. I am happy to accommodate travelers, but I am not here at your beck and call. If that is the experience you are seeking, I think you would be happier elsewhere. We appreciate all of your bookings, and profits go directly back into farm infrastructure and new fruit trees. Thank you for looking!

Car Camping Site 2

I really appreciated the quiet and seclusion that was offered at this site, and full access to a clean bathroom and hot shower. When we stayed there was only one other camper and one RV that came, but it still felt like we had a good amount of space from others. The site is a little hard to find, so the recommendation to come during daylight hours is a good idea at least for the first day. This site is inland so it did get hot at night (not much of a breeze so bring a little fan and dress to be cool when you sleep!), also this side of the island rains often and both nights it did, so be sure to cover up your belongings if you leave then outside the tent or RV! Hot shower and clean bathroom amenities were great. Thank you so much for letting us stay!

Banana Patch Bell Tent

Beautiful farm property with amazing views of the nearby mountains. Very comfortable glampy tent setup with a comfy bed and electricity in the tent. Easy to get to with a car with some smaller, quieter towns right nearby. I didn't run into the staff while there, but self-check in was super easy. Overall, I had a pleasant stay!

we did a camper van trip in oahu and maui with my friends and this is BY FAR the best place we have stayed in. the surroundings are beautiful, it’s quiet, it has a hang out area and the bathroom is clean!! the hosts replied super fast when we had questions :) we even cancelled another camp site we were going to stay in to get to have another night here. couldn’t recommend it more

Orchard Wall Tent

Lex’s tent is amazingly furnished and simple and the property is stunning set right in front of the mountains. Would love to see it again when the ulu and avocado trees are all mature. Highly recommend if you want to escape to a very serene part of Oahu
