Privacy, views, and birds

This is a wonderful, private spot with views of fields and ocean. We saw 16 different kinds of birds from the wrap around porch. Orchids have been planted in the shade trees - 3 different varieties were blooming. There is a gentle breeze, lounge chairs and a comfortable couch. It's truly lovely. We hope to return.

Clean, simple, quiet, and has all you need.

The property gave us everything we expected and the listing was accurate. There is another rental property very close by that is very small (for a couple or a single). There was no one staying there the 3 nights we were at this property, and I don’t think it wouldChange the experience much, but it is worth noting that it’s not a private 3 acres. There are goats close by which my boys found to be entertaining. The breeze and deck at night are nice for the sunsets. The property cools off quickly when you open the windows. CentrallyLocated to a lot of the island has to offer.

Properly maintained property in quiet private neighborhood

Recommended for excellent territorial and ocean views. We live on Island, Hilo side. We occasionally visit the leeward Kohola area to visit beaches and our favorite restaurant in that area, Ciprianos Kitchen in Kawaihae.

On Top of the World

This is a spacious house and lovely private setting up in the hills with beautiful 180 degree views of the ocean, a nice private deck where you can see the sun setting through the trees and watch the goats for entertainment in the side yard. We enjoyed our stay here very much.

The Perfect Getaway!

We loved our stay in the big house at Simon and Lisa's VRBO in Kohala Estates. Very well provisioned, clean, quiet, private, great location, and the sunset views from the deck were amazing. Simon and Lisa were friendly and helpful, but gave us our privacy. The wrap around deck was great - nice views no matter where you stood. We even saw whales breaching in the ocean from the west deck - lovely! We had everything we needed and then some. The beach chairs, umbrella, and boogie boards were welcome extras. No air conditioning was a plus (we dislike it) as the breezes and elevation made it very comfortable in the house. We didn't want for a thing - this place had it all. If we could give it ten stars, we would. We will definitely return!

Winter getaway in great location

This was our second time staying here. We love the location, which is close to Kohala coast beaches and offers beautiful ocean and sunset views from the home itself. The house is clean, quiet and has everything we needed (full kitchen, washer/dryer, coolers and boogie boards to borrow). The owners are easy to reach with any questions - thank you for another great stay!

Big island ocean views

This property has amazing views of the ocean located up on the hillside away from the touristy areas, but still close enough to get to the beautiful beaches on the big island. House was fully stocked with everything needed and more. We enjoyed sitting out on the back patio in the mornings when it was cool. The house does get quite warm in the afternoons and evening we opened up all of the windows throughout the day and night to allow any breeze to come through to cool off, only recommendation might be air conditioning units in the bedrooms for those really warm nights. Overall, would recommend staying here felt like home, very comfortable.

The best available

After really combing through all the offerings on Hawaii Island, we settled on this one. What a gem! So clean! Such views! Private and conveniently located for day trips, long or short. We were far enough from the main action on the island, but close enough to see it all. It was the best VRBO stay we've had. The hosts were great. Communication was easy and results immediate. We woul certainly recommend this place, as well as stay there again. Mahalo nui loa!

Beauty and comfort

We arrived late after a long and fretful travel day. From the moment we walked into this lovely house, we felt cared for and grateful. It has everything you need: a comfy bed, a fully equipped kitchen, a marvelous view, lounge chairs to watch the stars, shade all day because of the covered walk around deck, caring hosts, proximity to swimming and snorkeling beaches and towns to visit. My husband and I highly recommend this rental. We were happy for every minute we spent there.

If geckos in the house bother you, go elsewhere…

This is a beautiful property, very quiet, great view, very nice owners. I liked everything about it except for the bugs (so plentiful, including wasps which I found inside) and the lack of air conditioning, it really is just too hot to rely on fans. The geckos were okay with me, but they do poop everywhere and that would have been good to know ahead of time.

Had a great visit to the Big Island and staying at this property made it all that much more enjoyable. Location is convenient for traveling to all parts of the island to see the many sights the island offets. Views and amenities were all as represented in the listing. I definitely would recommend staying here and if I do return again next year to Kona, I would stay here again.

Quiet relaxing stay

This is an amazing house in a very convenient spot on the Kohala Coast. It is just a short drive to many great beaches and fun places to explore. At the end of the day get to retreat well stocked, classic Hawaiian style home with a 360 degree porch and views in every direction. Great place to watch the sun sink in to the Pacific and the stars some out. Hosts are great. They are there if you need them but give you total privacy otherwise. Highly recommend.

Country cottage with views

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this home. The views were stunning and the setting was charming. The property was clean and well looked after, the rooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. The location was perfect for exploring, snorkeling and beach going. The rural setting was away from the tourist area and the sounds of birds were amazing to listen to on the beautiful lani. The owners responded quickly to any requests and gave us lots of good local recommendations. The goats were adorable, and the owner alowed us to feed them. We would love to stay here again.
