I've been coming to the Big Island for many decades. In all that time, I have to say that this is one of the nicest places I've stayed. The setting at the foot of the Kohala Mountains, on a beautifully landscaped property, is amazing. The home—with its large living room, big kitchen, and high ceilings (with a massive skylight)—is remarkably spacious. The location is ideal—quiet and rural feeling, but conveniently close to everything we need (groceries in Waimea, hikes in the Kohalas, one of our favorite beaches literally 9 min down the hill). And the outdoor shower—perfect. We'll definitely be back.
