Wonderful stay! Relaxing beautiful views. Enjoyed sitting on the lanai every morning whale watching. The walk down to the shoreline and to King Kamehameha’s birthplace was very cool. Great hosts and a great visit. Especially loved Coconut & Jazzy thank you so much for a memorable visit.

A piece of paradise

Lovely home away from the bustle of city living. A perfect place to be inspired if you are an artist or a writer looking for a place for a writing retreat. Property manager/ owner was accommodating to our needs.

Starry Nights

Very nice rural rustic cottage with access to coastal hiking. Very quiet (except for the wind). Super dark nights for stargazing. Friendly hosts and dogs, (Specially Goldie). The weather was a bit rainy, but we enjoyed our week.

Wonderful views and Dark Sky

We loved the house design and the decor is wonderful. The view of the ocean is great, you can walk to shore for sunset pics. Great star gazing at night! Close to the many of the beautiful valleys in the area. This is a great spot to explore this end of the big island. Also as a plus for dog lovers, they have very happy dogs on site if you miss your pooch ❤️. Linda was very helpful before and during our stay. Mahalo

Rescue Stay

When we all realized that the Ironman Triathalon was going to make travel harder from the south end of the island, we found this gem at the north end of the island in Hawi. Linda's home was like going back in time. Her furnishings were stellar antiques with an island flair. Beautiful little gem with a lovely host!

Whales and a view!

We were welcomed first by our host's friendly golden doodles then our host stopped by to offer assistance with whatever we needed. After we dropped our bags we headed to the end of the road to see an incredible view of the sunset. While watching the sun set, we saw whales breaching. The view and very limited audience in the area felt like we had the whole thing to ourselves.

Sunset heaven

The peacefulness of this place is hard to describe. Off the beaten path and away from the chaos of the tourist destinations. The hosts were all great people, very friendly and helpful, and with great stories to about the area. They pointed us to some local spots that fell right into our style of exploring. Hawi is a charming little community with all the essentials. The dogs were great friends as well. Perfect place to sit on the porch and take in the breeze and sunsets.

The best view!

We had a delightful short visit to Hawi and got to see many, many whales and the red moon! Having the moon shine into our room was spectacular. We walked each morning down to the ocean.... and another Wow! It is remote... so if you are looking for something not in a bubble, this is the place. Thanks Linda!
