From luxurious resorts and high-rise hotels to beachside cottages, Hawaii has a plethora of lodging options for those who have flown from the mainland, those visiting neighboring islands, or simply those who want a tropical staycation. But if you are searching for a unique experience, and perhaps a little romance, adventure or enchantment, this gorgeous treehouse rental listed on Airbnb fits the bill.
Located on Hawaii Island in the middle of a tropical forest at the end of the street is this dreamy retreat perfect for those who want a romantic getaway - or simply to get away from it all.
The bamboo treehouse is nestled on top of stilts 15 feet up in the canopy of the forest and accessed via a trapdoor in the lanai - which of course wraps around the entire property and gives you 360-degree views of the surrounding jungle.
Here's what owwner Kristie has to say about this one-of-a-kind bathroom: "The bathroom jalousie windows stretch from the floor to the ceiling and the horizontal glass plates open up, creating an indoor-outdoor effect. Naturally caught rainwater cascades from the large shower head above before disappearing into the floor boards below. You'll notice that the natural theme spills over into the bathroom with sustainable cork board backing the shower and air plants intermittently growing throughout. The toilet and hand-made rock sink in the corner make use of grey water eco-principles by allowing you to wash your hands with fresh water before it goes on to fill the bowl."
Oh, and did we mention that you'll find a dreamy hanging bed suspended beneath the floor of the tiny home - perfect for lounging around.
According to Kristie, "Natural lighting, solar power and rain water catchment are the three principles that have been integrated into this tree top design, making it almost like a living organism itself."
