Nice place. The space outside is meant to be used the majority of the time. The living room is small. It was rainy and windy for most of our stay, so it was too cold and wet to be in the outside areas. Luckily we had places to go. The area that the house is in, there is a pocket of wet weather. The weather is different just a mile away. No a/c, but not needed in this cool environment. Very private. Enjoyed our stay! She allowed us to checkin early and checkout a little later. Waimea is beautiful!

We arrived the day of histoic Kona low & so happy to make it! We had mother with us so it was the perfect setup for her to have her own space in separate cottage. The covered balcony perfect for sitting outside watching the rain. Noelani, our host, came to check in that all was good & appreciated the tips for what to do in the area & great conversation. Listening to the frogs was an awesome! Explored in every direction & suggest going to the farmers market.& botanical gardens.

Great House and so loved the location.

Waimea is my favorite Big Island location. This house was actually bigger than I thought. It has two bed rooms and a loft that also has a bed. Everything worked and it was very comfortable and quiet. Only thing that would have made a 5 would be new mattresses.

College friends renewing old relationship. House had everything needed to relax and fully enjoy the setting. Separate lodging in cottage was a boon to having some down time and accommodating different sleep/rise patterns. Wish there'd been a small deck table to enjoy sunset dinner outside living/kitchen area.......Hostess is wonderful, helpful and a real joy to the stay.

Lovely home

Spent 4 nights as a family of 4 during our spring break in March. Nice to have room to spreadout (teens each had a room and parents had the ohana room). We appreciated the games/reading material and a fully stocked kitchen (complete with spices to use!) Especially happy with the cooler weather (in 50s each morning and night) and the pheasants/turkey/peacocks that visited the yard. Beautiful view, very calming and quiet neighborhood. The hill provides quite the morning workout!

Disappointing stay

While weather is out of everyones control, the location of this accommodation is at altitude and in a predictably cool and rainy location. Unluckily for us , the weather was extremely cool and raining constantly. There was no heating available and we were extremely cold , damp and uncomfortable and left after 3 nights, (of a 14 night stay), for warmer and dryer accommodation. We approached the vendor for support but she failed to mention that there were space heaters available ( they had not been evident to us and their presence was only mentioned after we had moved out). The barbecue was reported to the vendor as unclean/unkept and she saw that it was remedied. All of the blinds in the accommodation were in poor repair. In addition, the closet for the separate cabin was full of disorganized random storage( including vanes from the vertical blind system which were coming off ), which made its use impossible. The sitting area is very small and certainly inadequate for more than 3 people.

Quiet, beautiful spot with a killer view. The one confusing part in the listing was that the master bedroom and bath were in a separate converted garage, so you have to walk outside to the kitchen and main house. The master was spacious and comfortable, but there was a smell of mold that would surface occasionally. Waimea gets a lot of moisture and I’m told this is a common problem, especially if windows and doors are kept closed for too long. That said, it was a unique and enjoyable stay, and a great value.

This is a beautiful property, the landscaping is gorgeous and the view is spectacular. We’ve stayed here several times but this time sadly, the conditions of the main house and the ohana suite were disappointing. Both buildings need maintenance which although the host responded immediately to, none of it was taken care of during our 14 day stay. I truly hope this changes for future guests but am not sure we will choose to stay here again even though it’s so beautiful and close to our local family.

It is nicely decorated and looks even more beautiful in person. The wood smell made it that much cozier.The kitchen was fully stocked, the shower was nice, and we really appreciated the beach towels and chairs. The large yard is beautiful and we loved sitting outside on the porch or inside behind the screened door to listen to all the animals around. The plants outside even smelled nice! The location of the house is great; we could easily drive into town for groceries or take out. No complaints here!
