Ocean & Maunakea View Guesthouse on a Private 5-Acre Property

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, good location, great view"

Enjoy viewing the photos of your Hale - home away from home

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful 10 night stay at Sherry and Dave’s place. We loved the comfortable bed and scrumptious leather chairs. Large closet in the bedroom was very large with plenty of storage space. So many little extras made this a special place. Every imaginable amenity was provided. We used the toaster oven several times and only slightly missed having a microwave. Sherry and Dave were the best hosts in the world. Quite literally! We have stayed in VRBO’s all over the world and appreciated Sherry and David’s attentive, friendly and helpful manner! What a pleasant experience we had in their home!"

Hamakua Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Property is on a beautiful location, very quiet and well maintained. We really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the really delicious complementary 7 course dinner. Highly recommend the property if you are looking for peace and quiet accommodations away from the busy resort locations."

Castle Waimea Country Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Pretty good"

The Inn at Kulaniapia Falls

8/10 Good

"Flies in the barn was an extreme nuisance. Uncut grass from cabin 5 to the barn was annoying. The falls was a amazing. However, be extremely careful if you take the short hike because the uneven rocks is a challenge especially if it rain (9 out 10 times it'll rain). Despite that, Jordan, Abby, & Cady (not in order) was top of line from hospitality, interaction, professionalism, tidiness, etc. & they wasn't ugly :-)"

Luxury 4BR Estate with Ocean Views, Pool, Slide & Gourmet Kitchen: Waipio Heaven

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our second stay in this house. The view is one-of-a-kind, and the house is such a beautiful gem. We love the coquis at night, the stars and enjoying the humid air of Hawaii. Honoka’a is a nice town, and the Waipi’o Fruit Shack is right down the road. You’ll probably be visiting Waimea (30 minutes) or across the island to Mauna Lani, etc. (1 ro 1.25 hours), but the longer drive is still worth it for staying in such a lovely house. You’ll have a wonderful experience!"
