Perfect Hawaiian Getaway

A truly beautiful piece of paradise! The lanai was absolutely incredible and the photos don’t do it justice. It’s even more breathtaking in person. The ocean views, sunsets, and stargazing were unforgettable. Sitting outside and seeing the Milky Way with the naked eye was a magical, unexpected gift.Although the studio is located beneath the hosts’ home, it felt completely private, and Mitsuko and Curt were respectful of our space. At the same time, they made our stay even more special. The fresh fruit tray from their garden was delicious, and their tips about local beaches, farmers markets, and must-see spots were incredibly helpful. We also had no issues with the studio being too hot with our end of July stay. The location is also fantastic, just minutes from some of the best beaches on the island. It was the perfect home base for all of our beach days.As mentioned in another review, if you’re looking for a luxury resort style stay, this would not be it. But if you’re seeking an authentic, relaxing experience with unbeatable views and warm hospitality, I can’t recommend this place enough.

Sunsets, Stars, and Serenity

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to end our 10-day trip to the Big Island. The property was beautiful and peaceful, with unbeatable views—sunsets that took our breath away and a night sky absolutely littered with stars. It was the perfect spot to relax and soak it all in. Communication was smooth and easy, and the hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. We felt taken care of from start to finish. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful escape with unforgettable views!

Studio with a nice view and super nice host

Very nice host, warm and welcoming. We stayed 3 nights. Overall a good value and a relaxing place to stay. Reliable internet, comfortable bed, clean bathroom. Appreciated that they brought us a fruit plate of delicious mango/banana from their property.My only disappointment were the swarms of mosquitoes, and I had misunderstood that it was a free-standing studio cottage; it’s a downstairs studio below their main home. But overall we had a nice stay!

Price Performer

Definitely a price performer! Located on a hillside away from the touristed areas with nice views. Loved hearing the myriads of birds singing in the mornings. Nice spots outside to relax and unwind. Really appreciated the fresh fruit as well!Is a bit hard to find the driveway after dark, although iPhone with Goggle Maps did just fine. 40 min. drive from the airport; 20 min. drive to Island Gourmet Markets at The Queen's Marketplace (good place for groceries and much more).Could use some sprucing up...

Thank you Mitsuko!

First off, warnings…do not stay here if you’re expecting a lux experience, and be prepared for whatever the island throws at you. We came after a massive rain, and there was a cloud of mosquitoes chilling on the lanai. It did limit our ability to take advantage of the outdoor space. The accommodations are basic so you get to be creative with your cooking, but it’s all manageable. Now the goods…this place is far more like the air b n b’s of old, with an absolutely personable and responsive host and a quirky charm unique only to it. It’s a FABULOUS place and an absolutely great location for exploring the north Kohala coast. Come prepared to enjoy a remote and secluded spot for watching the flora and fauna of the big island!

Quiet Studio

Perfect studio for our low key stay. Garden is lovely. Quiet neighborhood. Place is clean with basic kitchen items. The welcome basket was well stocked. And several times throughout our stay we had fresh fruiting waiting for us in the morning. Great views of ocean. Nice breeze. Great location. If it rains expect some mosquitos but our hosts had plenty of options to help deter them. Would definetly stay again.

N. Hawaii views and birds

From your breakfast table far up from the north coast, you can watch and hear birds and see a vast expanse of ocean, sky and the Kona coast. At dinner enjoy fabulous sunsets. Hosts are most welcoming and have some yummy fruit treats too. We had a most enjoyable second stay and hope to return!

Hidden Gem

The magical nature of this property cannot be overstated. The single room opens on two sides with sliding glass doors to a corner porch that offers a 130 degree panorama of the Pacific from a hillside vantage point in Kohala. Sleeping was magical with the doors open, stunning stars, and bird sounds as the dawn broke. It was a joy to meet our hosts, and we greatly appreciated the morning treat of cut mango and blueberries in the refrigerator. There is a wonderful tiki seafood bar for lunch and dinner in nearby Kawaihae. We hope to return.

We enjoyed three nights here after being warmly greeted by our hosts. Slept well each night after watching the sunsets and gazing at a sky full of stars. Mornings were for sunrises and coffee on the lanai. Mitsuko sent us off with a lovely fresh fruit plate and even snacks for the plane. Very thoughtful hosts and a lovely home/garden. I would love to stay again!

Peaceful remote experience

The view was breathtaking, and the surroundings were quiet and peaceful. The unit was substantially clean, and well aired out. The unit was interestingly renovated as there were 3 large sliding glass doors on the 2 exterior walls, but it worked out very well in providing phenomenal views and airflow. They were even lockable: the way to do it was to lock 2 of them from the inside, and then the 3rd one using a key from the outside. Mitsuko and Curt were very inviting hosts; they personally greeted us when we arrived! On the second day, Mitsuko even cut a plate of fruits for us! Without us asking about a later check-out, she even told us that since they didn't have a new guest coming on the day we were departing, we were free to hang out for as long as we wanted until our flight! There were tons of very cute birds and geckos, and their cat was living the dream life just staring at the ocean view. For sensitive sleepers, the birds can get pretty loud in the morning, when the sun comes up. At night, the area is very dark, which is amazing for stargazing! I was able to see the Milky Way with my naked eyes, and even Venus' reflection shimmering on the ocean as it was starting to set. During the daytime, you can see Mauna Kea along with is observatories, Mauna Loa, and Hualalai all in one sweep. On the opposite side, you can see Maui. In fact, I think I even saw Haleakala Observatory with my naked eyes.

Amazing Tranquility

Mitsuko and Curt were amazing hosts. The property is very clean and functional. The views from the Lanai were just beautiful. We slept very well in the comfortable bed and the kitchenette had everything we needed. The location is in a quiet area on a steep hill. If you ride bikes, the location is incredible for riding the Ironman Hawaii road from Kawaihae to Hawi and back. There are some steep hills on the route, but none as challenging as the ride back up to the house from the main highway. Some 20% grades. Was awesome. Mitsuko and Curt were very gracious. They brought us fresh fruits and snacks almost daily and offered to share their Ahi dinner with us. Way above and beyond anything expected. They are just the nicest people you will ever meet. The property is beautiful and the views even more. If you're looking for a super nice place to stay on the North Kohala coast with super nice hosts look no more. You found it.
