I have traveled around some of the world. This home by far has the most beautiful view of the ocean I have ever seen! The house was spotless and we all loved the kitchen. The host was a very special person. She helped us with everything, directions to scenic sites, chairs and coolers for the beach. Just a great lady! If we go back to this area, will definitely rent the house again.

Lovely spot with epic view of Waipio valley. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the property managers are friendly and helpful. The listing says the beach is just a 10 minute drive away … and it’s true. But you’ll need 4WD and nerves of steal. It’s certainly worth it when you get to the beach.

This home has a stunning view. All four of us walked in then stopped in our tracks and just stared when we saw it. During our visit to the big island we also stayed in Captain Cook and Volcano and this location had the most “Hawaiian” feel of the three due to the lush, green surroundings along with the ocean view. Cemile and Derrick are the hosts and are helpful and responsive. Checkout was a breeze. The instructions were simply “enjoy your morning and leave by 11:00.” This home overlooks the Waipio valley and I highly recommend taking a tour of the valley.

Wow! Just wow! This property is amazing! The pictures do not begin to show the beauty of the view from this house! The grounds are meticulously kept! The fruit trees and plants, we had planned on going back to the botanical gardens outside of Hilo but there was no need, everything was growing right there! Is the House a little dated yes and I was a little uncomfortable with no coverings on the windows but there truly is no one else around. The house was super clean and the AC kept it cool which is what my biggest issue in booking was! The Host Cemille and Derrick are absolutely amazing! Fresh fruit every time we saw them! So nice and helpful! We hope to be back very soon!

This property had the best view on the whole island! It was almost too good to be true. This is your sign to stop searching, and just book this place! You do need a jeep or truck with big tires to get to the property and you have to drive very slow for the last few minutes of the journey, but it’s totally worth it. All of the plants and flowers and fruit trees were so beautiful! The rooms are a little outdated, but still very accommodating. Everything that we needed was there. Camile and her husband live downstairs and also manage the property so are there if you need anything. They are wonderful people. We truly enjoyed talking with them everyday and appreciate the fresh fruit that she brought us. Hope we get the opportunity to return one day!

Family friendly spring break location

My husband and I stayed here years ago for our anniversary and loved it so much, we came back! We brought our family and some friends and their kids. It was a great set up for all of us. And lovely location! Breathtaking views of the valley and the ability to easily get to the quaint town of Honoka’a. We specifically chose this location so we could have a central spot to come back to after exploring parts of the northern area of the island. Highly recommend!
