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.

Awesome, Thanks for coming. I'm glad you found our little
PEACE OF PARADISE. Come again. Mahalo
Enjoyed the amazing views and eclectic antique furnishings. A quick drive down the hill to tide pools before sunset. Relaxing, quiet and comfortable for 4 adults.
Nice home filled with memorabilia making it cozy. Plenty of room for our family of 5 adults to sleep comfortably. WiFi was fast. Beautiful, quiet, country setting.
This was a perfect cabin experience. Whale watching and shoreline hikes during the day. Sunsets from the screened porch and amazing bird song every morning. Definitely would return.
We really enjoyed the peace and quiet. Beautiful cabin that my friend and I had a wonderful time rnjoying the amazing ocean view, the artisian town of Hawi, amd the amazing stars at night. Hostess was very quick to respond to questions and was available for assistance if needed. Clean, cute, and a special place for sure.

Aloha, It was so nice having you both as guest here. I'm so glad you found our little PEACE of paradise. Come again. Mahalo, Linda
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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!
