Hamakua Guesthouse

Pepeekeo

"This was amazing! Great staff, great location AND there's even a swimming hole (5 min walk, if that) with a waterfall! I've never stayed in a shared house before, but this one has spoiled me! It's close enough to be able to drive to all the good tourist spots. Oh, and hopefully you're there for the "big" farmers market on Saturdays. If I get back to the Big Island I'll be coming back here! Thank you for the great time!"

Mahana House Country Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great Stay. Cannot wait to do it again,"

Oceanfront gated estate w/heated saltwater pool.

8/10 Good

"Great Location, vary spacious house. Loved the getaway feel. Lots of room. Enjoyed the pool.Unfortunately the hot tub (one of the main reasons we booked this) did not work the entire time we stayed. I don't fault the owner nor property management though, I think things happen and its okay. The owners were very responsive and I think they got it fixed for the next guests.Thank you for your hospitality."

Hulili Tropical Fruit Farm - Pineapple Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"If you would like to stay in a place as close to the garden of Eden as you can get, then this is it. The cottage has everything you need, it is very comfortable, and the view and the surroundings are beautiful. Todd and Madeleine were very gracious hosts. Madeleine even alerted me to the fact that the volcano was erupting so that we could take advantage. The kitchen is well stocked if you like cooking your own meals as we do, and sitting outside in the morning in the rocking chairs, watching the geckos is a real treat. This place is one of a kind."

Royal Palm Cottage/5 mins from beach/Akaka Falls/Private Lanai

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was amazing! Laurel was so helpful and kind, I loved staying at her cute and cozy place❤️ We got a very thoughtful tray of local fruits from her and a home-baked banana bread which I thought was very cool."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Incredible views! Seeing it in person is just amazing. We had a group of 4 adults and 3 kids that stayed here and we all fit comfortably. Clean, spacious and a great, responsive host. The pool was also amazing! It was like finding a swimming hole in the middle of a rainforest and the slide was a hit for the kids. The outdoor shower in the master suite was one of my favorite parts of the house. I didn’t think I would like it but it was so relaxing out there, especially at night with the moon peeking through the trees. If you have younger kids, here are a few things to be aware of: the main house has the master bedroom and the “secret room”. We didn’t feel the secret room was a safe option for our youngest (steep stairs, mezzanine style loft with pony walls and very high bed). The other 3 bedrooms are accessed by walking outside across the patio. Great rooms over there! But if you’re wanting to stay in the master and kids to stay in other rooms, you’ll be separated. So keep that in mind when considering bedroom set up with younger kids. Other things to note: the little town of Honoka’a is cute but half the stores/restaurants were closed even during their “open” hours. You need to drive quite a bit to get to other things not right there in that very small town. You also need to drive to get to most beaches. The black sand beach that is right there was closed when we went unfortunately. Let’s be honest though, we didn’t want to leave this house very much anyways!!"

Big Island Family Retreat – Sleeps 8, Ocean View

8/10 Good

"This was not what I was expecting. It is actually a beautiful home with multiple different efficiencies under one roof. The house is in disrepair and could use some maintenance. There was no AC in the master bedroom and the second bedroom had 3 beds in it. Two of the beds only had foam mattresses. The location is beautiful and close to town."

Waipio Valley and Ocean View

10/10 Excellent

"Best location on the island, fully stocked kitchen, extremely gracious and helpful live-in property manager, and very private- but the best part was the porch and outdoor shower! It would be hard to find a better outdoor shower location on this planet…we all LOVED our stay here!"
