This place was tops! I’ve been to the Big Island many times and prefer to stay out of the tourist hubbub. Waimea was the perfect spot for our family with it’s Farmer’s Markets, great restaurants and easy to get to wonderful beaches, Kohala and about an hour and a half to the volcanoes. The location was clean and modern with thoughtful extras for the children. The host reached out before we arrived and asked how we liked our coffee and bought half/half and honey to go with some great coffee…this is huge for us from the PNW! Rays, turtles, whales, stars, volcanoes, horseback riding…what a trip! Being able to call this place home for the week was what made this trip so good…wonderful hosts!
