  My family of 3 (2 adults and a toddler) had a great stay at this property. It was accurately described, clean, and well-maintained. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay: a great kitchen and living/dining room, high quality bath towels and bed linens, and even beach towels, beach chairs and umbrella, fins, snorkels, and masks, boogie boards, and a cooler for going to the beach! The location, in a quiet neighborhood a few miles outside of town, was close to a good grocery store and several restaurants (about a 10 minute drive). It was also easy to get to anywhere on the north part of the Big Island. During our stay at this property, we went to several beaches and a couple historic sites on the west coast, Hawi (up north), and the Waipi'o Valley on the east side. We had a minor issue with the washing machine, and the owner fixed it before we left (so we could still do our laundry), and also gave us a gift certificate to a local restaurant to help compensate us for our trouble. I especially appreciated that we could just pay for the one bedroom we needed to use and the reasonable cleaning fee. We would recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet and comfortable place to stay that is a bit off the beaten path but still in easy reach of a lot of attractions.

  Very nice, comfortable place to stay. Our family (2 couples) found the guest house to be in a convenient location to visit Waipio Valley, Mauna Kea, Hilo, and even the Kona side. We were pleased to find extra amenities that we did not bring or forgot such as beach towels, a cooler, spices for cooking, a toaster, coffee maker and the owner even left us some welcome coffee and nuts which we enjoyed our first morning. We highly recommend this home and would love to stay again our next trip.

  We had a very enjoyable 3-night stay in this place. The location is very convenient for going to beaches and for hiking in the Pololu Valley. There's a good natural foods store and grocery store about 10 minutes away. The house was spotlessly clean. We would stay here again in a flash.

  My husband and I stayed for two nights at this home in Waimea on Hawaii Island. The property was clean and spare in its decorations, which perfectly suited us. We appreciated the privacy the property owner afforded us, though she was always responsive when we contacted her for information. The kitchen was clean and well-appointed and, for Waimea's cool winter weather, we had lots of blankets to keep us warm. The heater in the living room also provided some warmth. As described in the listing, the home is located in a working class neighborhood where the neighbors are somewhat close but not intrusive. We walked down the road a bit and found a lovely area that abuts ranch lands and where we had a stunning view of Mauna Kea.

  It is the best place to explore the island. You can easily reach any area on the island, because of the convenient location. The friendly and helpful owner will make your stay very comfortable. Laura and Igor

  It is a good place to reach all the Highlights in th region of Kohala Coast, North Kona Coast and the Honokaa Coast. The description and photos are exactly how it is. The property is clean and well-maintained, the owner is very helpful. In the neighborhood there loud dogs. If you use earplugs it is no problem.

  This place was musty and moldy to the point that we had to shorten our stay, due to the fact that my husband was experiencing bad sinus problems because of said mold/mildew. The owner did refund us for the nights we did not stay. She said that she was getting cleaners in to deal with the problem. Also we found that there was a fair amount of noise from neighborhood dogs barking, and roosters crowing.

  Owner response: I'd like to thank David and Maggie for letting us know about these issues, we are so very sorry for their experience, and yes, we have scheduled the maintenance to correct the situation, thank you for your honest feedback. We are also working with our neighbors, they recently got a new puppy, and we are all on board for peace and quiet in our neighborhood.

  I recently moved from the mainland to Waimea with my family and stayed here for 3 weeks. This guesthouse had everything we needed to live while we searched for a long-term rental home, start our new jobs, enjoy day trips (beach and snorkle gear provided) and relax comfortably at night. The furnishings, kitchen, bathroom, laundry room all were great, and the house was private yet close to everything we wanted to get to. Thank you Gemma for your kind hospitality!

  My husband and I concluded our 2 month visit to Hawaii by staying in this vacation rental property to investigate the area, specially the northern coast. We found it to be very clean, quiet and pleasant. It was conveniently located for our purposes and met all of our needs for returning after a day of exploring to cook our favorite meals of Thai food. The hostess accomodated all that we needed and remained out of sight most of the time for our privacy. We enjoyed out stay and would recommend this location.
