Gorgeous location became “home base” for our sightseeing excursions
The rental unit was a beautiful place to enjoy the view in the morning and relax in the evening after a full day. The place was clean and appeared fairly new or newly remodeled. We appreciated the kitchen amenities, gas grill and laundry room. A few things kept it from being absolutely perfect: no TV in the great room, no instructions how to operate the Toto toilets, and no dresser and/or luggage stool in the room with the twin beds. A pool and hot tub were being built while we were there so we did not have those to enjoy. This property is going to look awesome someday as it appeared to be a lot of landscaping still occurring.

Aloha Wayne, yes we agree with you and appreciate the feedback. We have made all the recommended changes including adding a TV in the great room, TOTO toilet instructions, luggage stool in the second bedroom and... the pool and hot tub are completed!

Originally from the Midwest, USA, we moved to Hawaii in 2002 and love every minute of it. We bought the property in 2014 and started building what you see today. For more than a decade, work required that we live abroad; taking us to more than 15 countries in the Middle East and Africa. Even prior to that, we had traveled when life allowed to include having been a Peace Corps Volunteer in Senegal. We simply love learning about other cultures and meeting people from all over the world and are sincere when we say it's really our pleasure to welcome folks into our extended ohana and to share the place we love.

I first drove up the Hamakua Coast in 1999 and could not believe how spectacular it was in every regard. From the 4-Mile Scenic Drive up through Honomu and Honoka'a, I was instantly in love with the area. Idyllic scenery, great weather year-round, a sloping terrain that provided ocean views for 40 miles, and that tropical foliage which just soothed my being. It's still one of my favorite drives.
Papa'ikou, the town in which we live, is just close enough to downtown Hilo as it's about a 7-minute drive. And yet it's just far enough out of town as well to relax in peace. Perfect location.

We would like to think it's how we treat our guests as many return over the years. :) Perhaps more so however, on the East side of the Big Island, there are not a lot of oceanfront lodging choices that offer a pool, a hot tub and Air Conditioning amongst other amenities -- in addition to a pesticide and herbicide free orchard for you to pick the seasonal fruits and vegetables from the trees and raised garden beds respectively. With all that, we really love hosting and meeting guests.
