Hands down my FAVORITE place to stay on the big island.
I have stayed in a lot of places on the island and this one is truly head and shoulders above the rest!
You Cannot beat the location! It’s right above town so five minutes to the beach and restaurants, but it’s at the top of a beautiful gated community that no one even knows exists. It is so quiet you think you’re the only soul in the world besides the birds while you watch the sunset or stargaze. You would never know that town is such a short distance because you feel totally removed from the hustle and bustle.
Luxurious places to stay are actually pretty difficult to find on the island. So you will be delighted by the quality of workmanship and detail here, the beauty is to be enjoyed. The stonework, the wood, the tile. The shower alone is better than any luxury hotel I’ve stayed at it must have at least half a dozen showerheads.
The outdoor kitchen is way better than the photos, you’re actually standing and cooking and staring out at 180° ocean view! We thoroughly enjoyed fixing breakfast and dinner and watching the sunset while we sipped our wine.
Joan was a delight to deal with. Super helpful and responsive. Check-in was easy, we had a lovely conversation with her our first morning there but the rest of the time we didn’t even know if she was on the other end of the property or not. We had total privacy.
Last thing I will say, which is always the thing I look for in these reviews, the bed is amazing! Oh and the AC is a plus if you aren’t used to the heat, mostly we prefer doors and windows open with the fans on because the temperature was lovely at this elevation. But after the beach one day we were grateful for the AC.
Thank you Joan we will definitely be back!
