Some spices and pantry items were nice to have since the location is remote. The box of cookies was a nice touch. Good value / price compared to similar size places on the island. The goats were nice esp if you have kids. Brochures & top tips guide for restaurants etc was handy. Leaving us sunscreen and lots of towels + nice toiletries was appreciated. ##### Kelsey C.

Aug 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 12-night stay in August Overall, we had a great stay. House was clean, beds comfortable and kitchen well stocked with cooking utensils and dishes. There were some spices, and cooking oil in the pantry when we arrived, probably left by previous guests. Internet connection was great so we were able to watch Netflix and other streaming channels for which we had accounts for. The house is not air conditioned (which we were aware of) but with all the fans on and windows opened, the breeze flowing through the house made it okay most of the time. The only thing that was a negative was the ability to see the house number and driveway entrance as the grass around the post and entrance was overgrown. We learnt to watch for the road marker for mile 20.0 then looked for the stop sign on the right side of the road a little further down from the marker, to locate the driveway entrance to the house on the left, when coming from Hilo. All-in-all, a pleasant stay. ##### Nora C.

The house is well stocked so just pick up a few groceries. Things to be aware of before booking this unit. This is not the resort side of the island. It is quiet and very rural. Incredibly peaceful. It’s 20 miles down the coast to Hilo. There is a nice market 7 minutes or so up the coast in Papaaloa. The last thing is finding the driveway. It can be tricky as the speed limit is 55 on the road and the driveway is a small unmarked opening in the tall cane grass. There is a short stretch of guardrail on the opposite side of the road from the driveway that I used as a landmark night and day. Fortunately traffic is light on the road by the house. ##### Eric A.

Dec 31, 2023 #### Great views I would stay here again, but there are pros and cons and some things to be aware of. We had six adults in our party. The view is amazing, we saw whales swimming by. The sheep are so cute and very friendly. The house was clean and the kitchen was well equipped. We did a lot of cooking. The location was really great…very quiet and peaceful. Nice road to walk on behind the house. No air conditioning, but with all of the windows open, there was a great cross breeze. Many fans included in each room, both ceiling fans and fans on the floor. You do have to supply your own drinking water, which I don’t remember reading in the description. We had a little trouble getting in. A code was provided for the top lock, but there was also a key needed. It was in a lock box, but the code was not provided. Luckily, we were able to get someone on the phone, with the phone number provided. There are two full bathrooms, only one is on the bottom floor with the three bedrooms. One is upstairs with the kitchen, dining and living rooms. Two of the three beds were really uncomfortable. The whole bed shakes when someone rolls over and is quite loud. Also, it felt like the middle of the beds was sunken in. The trash can outside is very small, the email I received said we had to take any overflow trash to the landfill. There are two landfills close by, but they are not open everyday. We almost missed our flight, attempting to find an open landfill. Some very nice parks and views close by…be sure to drive on the 4 mile scenic road nearby. ##### Lydia G. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patti H. Jun 26, 2025 ##### Patti H.

Waking up every morning to the sunrise over the Pacific Ocean while enjoying our coffee was a pure treat. The house was spacious and very comfortable for our family. The large fenced in yard was great for the kids to run around in while we watched from the second floor balcony. They had good conversations with the sheep in the field next door. The house had everything we needed. You are nice and secluded up there but keep in mind it is north of Hilo so plan accordingly so you do not have to run back to town frequently. We are already planning our next trip and we are looking forward to renting again!! ##### Philip F. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Minette N.

Stayed 9 nights in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Dustin M., SAN DIEGO Feb 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ninole Hamakua Retreat The property was great in many ways. It had beautiful ocean view picture perfect scenery. Calm relaxing perfect spot tobgwt away from it all and just enjoy the peaceful natural side that the Big Island isbknow for. I was on Hawaii for over 5 weeks & stayed here for 4 of those weeks. It was for the most part but great there but few things that should be be addressed. First I the grass surrounding the house is very thick It is a combination of something planted but the invasive grass that is surrounding the lot in front & to the south of its have caused the large elephant to to spread there. You wouldn't notice as probably as just a tourist. I on the other hand own property on the island know that this grass can cause rashes & irritated most people. Make sure if laying out at the house to get a chill day at the house to spread a larger blanket & then a tall a most people will get some irritation from it. That's not the bad thing though when we would stay local at the house for several day we would lay out in the fro t of the water catchment tank just to the north east of the home. Great place to get a sun tan & normal there is a nice ocean breeze to make it Great spot to lounge have a picnic etc. The property owner should warn people that there are very deep wholes in the grass that the over grown elephant grass can hide. I unfortunately had to learn the hard way. With almost 2 weeks left on my trip I Was going to move one of the chair from the lower patio to the grass area to relax read a book & get some sun. I stepped into an almost 6- 8" deep whole & severely Sprained my ankle. Not fun when you have to go and get ankle brace at Walmart & where supportive shoe the entire rest of my trip. An elderly person could have been serious hurt. Next the screen on the home are the original ones that came with the windows I assume. They provide almost no protection against the small mosquito that can go through the wide mesh. Also many of them have been bent over the year probably to remove for cleaning this led to just open wholes. I don't like AC and would rather leave all the screen opening open all day and night to keep the home cool & breeze coming through. I noticed several prior guests took it upon them selfsame to tape sround the cracks in the screen to Limits the ammout of Mosquito. This did help much. Last thing was WiFi. It was not acceptable for a person working remotely I has to spend money to buy a hotspot so I could send & work emails. :) ##### Dustin M. Stayed 28 nights in Jan 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Alisa H. Oct 18, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Overall good place for large groups Place was clean and easy to find. Location was good. About 25 minutes from Hilo. Communication with property manager was quick. The biggest negative about the property was no hot running water. There wasn’t anywhere on the listing as well preparing us for that. We felt that should be disclosed before booking! Also, the fire alarm had been removed and listing shows house is equipped with proper safety measures. We also didn’t like being asked to start load of laundry. It feels more unsanitary not knowing when they come to remove from washer and can you guarantee the previous guests did it properly. View was very pretty! ##### Alisa H.
