Kamuela (Waimea)

"My husband and I spent 3 night's at Alice's cottage. We chose the property because it was so close to a cultural event that we planned to attend on the first morning of our stay. We live on the other side of the island, several hours away, so driving in the early morning wasn't an option as the event started at 6:30 AM. The location was ideal but the cottage itself was even better. It was immaculately clean, beautifully decorated and absolutely restful and peaceful. We especially loved the comfortable bed and the walk-in shower, both of which make a big difference when traveling, but really everything in the cottage was just lovely. We stopped in Waimea for groceries on our way to the cottage so made most of our meals there, but we also enjoyed shave ice from the truck in the Blue Dragon parking lot in Kawaihae (Original Big Island Shave Ice) as well as take-out sliders and fries from the Blue Dragon. The cottage is within minutes of several world-class beaches, so we spent several afternoons snorkeling at various spots. We also took a drive around the North Kohala and Hamakua Coast and spent one afternoon in Kailua Kona. The cottage is convenient to everything on that side of the island. And the sunsets are spectactular! We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Thank you, Alice."
