Close to Beach + Close to Waimea Town. This is a Hosted Property. Recently constructed and fully remodeled 700 square foot self-contained living space in a private, separate wing of the house. The bedroom and living areas are filled with light, looking out to gorgeous views of the three mountains - Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa and Hualalai. Enjoy the fully equipped kitchen, dining area, cozy reading nook in the living room, spacious bedroom with walk-in closet, brand new bathroom with walk-in shower, wireless internet and Smart TV (movies, tv shows and music channels). We recently installed A/C for those warmer summer months. The teak bench in front of the cottage is a perfect place to sit and watch the clouds play over Mauna Kea. Out the back door off the kitchen, there is a new gas barbecue and table and chairs for dining or enjoying sunsets or the bright starry nights. There is also a storage chest full of beach chairs, boogie boards and snorkel gear for your use. Our 3-acre property has a large house, recently remodeled to include the guest cottage at one end of the house. I live in a separate wing on the other end of the L-shaped home. The two living spaces are separated by a covered lanai with fencing and landscaping providing privacy for each dwelling. I respect my guestsʻ privacy and enjoy my own. I am also happy to answer questions you may have to help you enjoy your stay on the island. I will be happy to steer you to my favorite restaurants, beaches, walking trails and island adventures. We enjoy gardening and have planted fruit trees and many flowers that attract abundant bird life. I'm happy to share fruit that is ripe during your stay, including banana, lilikoʻi, mango, papaya, avocado, lemon and lime. Situated on the 'dry side' of Waimea, we are half way between Kawaihae and Waimea town, ten minutes drive from both. The best beaches on the island are 10-15 minutes away. Located at 1800 foot elevation, our days are most often sunny and warm with occasional island breezes. There are ceiling fans and air conditioning for additional cooling if needed. Temperatures cool down in the evening - perfect for a good nights sleep. Cardinals, doves, finches and other birds fill our quiet 3-acre property with song. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Porch/lanai ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: This is a non-smoking property. ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the sea ### Things to do - Golf - Kayak - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit ### General - Garden - Unit size: 700 square feet ## Similar properties ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118290000/118281800/118281744/d882e1e9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful Private Garden Apartment w/ AC Kalaoa - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-02&endDate=2026-02-03&selected=118281744&PinnedHotelID=118281744&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/22000000/21730000/21723600/21723509/3fba88b8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 🏖️Walk to Restaurants/Shopping | Excellent Golf Course Views | Private Beach Access Waimea - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 83 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-02&endDate=2026-02-03&selected=21723509&PinnedHotelID=21723509&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/89000000/88230000/88220900/88220858/a0c7f5c5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### BI Hale Mele Mele- 3BR with AC in Magical Puako!

We bought some groceries but the kitchen was very well stocked with condiments, oil, jam, cooking tools, etc. We also loved the various living spaces and the beach gear!

The property exudes peace and tranquility in a cozy, yet expansive setting. The ‘neighborhood’ is as perfect as they get, with each of the houses occupying at least 3 acres, individually. Perfect view of Mauna Kea. Unpolluted night skies, on cloudless nights for glimpsing the vastness of our universe… up close and personal. The bed was quite comfortable. Only one disappointment: just a single burner hot plate for cooking. Catrinka is a gracious and considerate host. ##### Nini W. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lani B.

We enjoyed our stay at this cute bungalow. Bed was comfy, loved the reading book and full length mirror in the closest and the views were spectacular and we enjoyed the location! It was close to the beaches and resorts as well as the yummy food places and farmers markets in town. Rental car would be a must though! Only downside is no pool but Spencer Park beach is super close and there’s a smaller more secluded beach next to it through the wooded area that’s awesome and not crowded. ##### Mandy V.

Wonderful for a couple that likes to visit the small town museums and loves the cooler ranch country of Hawaii. We would come back again and again. Catrinka was so accomodating and helpful with everything. Great at hosting. We have been coming to this Island for more than a decade and half, and will continue to do so.

Every morning I couldn’t believe the breeze coming through, and the views and sounds of nature out every window. It’s a quick drive to Waimea coffee company or Hapuna beach! There were many useful odds and ends as far as kitchen, toiletry, and beach items. Tape and scissors! We swapped pillows for the ones in the closet that were more like ours at home. Any time I needed something I was able to find it, if I wasn’t I knew Catrinka was a phone call away. Would love to stay again! ##### Brandy B.

Sometimes when traveling one compromises a bit of comfort for a great location. Not such compromise here! The house was comfortable with everything you need to feel at home. The location was breathtaking with ever changing views of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa and the birds were amazing. Katrinka was warm and welcoming… and if she offers you homemade cookies say yes! ##### sandy\_a\_johnson@hotmail.com Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Little Jim M. Feb 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect and Peaceful! It was lovely to wake each morning to birdsong and pastoral views. Perfect for people like us who don't crave crowds. We were close enough to beaches, botanical gardens, farmers markets, historical sights, and amenities that we could easily have our fill of adventures and yet still have a quiet oasis to retreat to. We felt instantly at home! When our home fins didn't fit into our carry on luggage, we prepared ourselves to rent and return fins somewhere on the Big Island. It was a happy surprise to discover that fins and other gear were waiting for us in the storage bin out the back door. And the shelves of books was another delight! There were books for both leisure reading and for learning about learning about Hawaii. It was wonderful to dive into the Hawaiian books to debrief after each day and to tune into the next day's possibilities. As other people have mentioned, the kitchen does not contain a full range, but we found all that we needed and more. And it is easy to see why the place is so comfortable and peaceful; Catrinka is a wonderful host. Always ready and responsive, but never intrusive. For us, it was the perfect place to be! Mahalo nui Catrinka for the wonderful experience! ##### Little Jim M. Stayed 8 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cyndia C.
