Great location!

This property has everything you could need! It's in a fantastic location, close to town (yet quiet) and in proximity to some of the best hiking & snorkeling. It's clean and spacious and boasts a charming outdoor space in the back. Check-in and check out were a breeze and our hosts were sure to provide us with everything we would need for our stay. We will definitely return and hopefully stay for much longer!

Best guest house experience we've yet had on the Big Island

This guest house is simple and bright and beautiful, very well-maintained and homey. The hosts are friendly and helpful, and their pet dogs are lovely to have nearby. It's kind of tough to describe but the property manages to be private and tucked away from the main street while at the same time being literally no more than 20-30 steps from shops, restaurants etc. You can get to them in less than a minute of walking, and get away from it all just as quickly. We love to cook, and it would have been nice to have had a few more kitchen amenities like a cheese grater, more than one cutting board, another mixing bowl etc., but that was more than balanced out by the fact that there was a barbecue. (The listing didn't mention a barbecue, and that was the only thing that made us debate whether or not to book the place. We decided we could make do without, because it had so many other things going for it. So it was a nice surprise to discover there was a barbecue after all.) Very highly recommended.

Perfect Cottage in northern Hawaii

Beautiful studio cottage, very clean. On site laundry. Kitchen has everything you need to cook a full meal and bathroom is clean and stocked with towels. You have a separate back yard area from the owners, but you are free to wander the whole property. Very friendly dogs on owners side of property. David and Yael were very friendly and hospitable and offered advice on the surrounding area. Park at the end of the street with public pools, skate park, and driving range/golf course. King Kamehameha birth place and Mo’okini Heiau are 10 minutes away. Walking distance to local restaurants. 5 minute drive to Hāwī. We took the drive to meet a tour for Mauna Kea from this location as well. Another beautiful part of the Big Island that all travelers should visit. Mahalo 🤙

About the host

Your host

David, a graduate of UCSD grew up sailing and is a philanthropy consultant; Yael is a psychologist, Jungian psycho-analyst and an artisan bread-baker. We love the Big Island, warm breezes, the ocean and Hawaii life.

Why they chose this property

When we bought this home it was love at first sight -- the beautiful old-growth gardens, the original lovingly-restored plantation-home, the spirituality. The Kamehameha Park next door and the local eating around the corner, the warm and welcoming community -- it enchanted us.

What makes this property unique

Guests repeatedly tell us how much they enjoyed the bird-song in the morning, the privacy of the cottage and its garden, and the convenient location to the best of North Kohala.
