Everything you need in this apartment. Beautiful views of the volcanos. Centrally located to go to beaches or volcanoes. We would definitely stay again.
Very nice place to stay. Great view of the mountains. Very close to town. Lots of privacy. No noise. Well stocked kitchen. You should have a vehicle that can go up a steep hill as the driveway is quite steep. Alternatively you can park on the road at the bottom which worked well for us. Overall an excellent place to stay. Very friendly couple who rent the cottage.
We typically stay close or on beach, however, wife was looking for less touristy and Waimea was the answer. Short drive to Kona or Hilo, definitely will stay here on next trip. Quite, Peaceful, Comfortable, Convenient, well equipped. Farmers Market Wednesday & Saturdays with produce, meat, fish, & baked goods.I should add this was my 10th trip to Big Island.
I stayed here solo in Jan '25 for four nights and loved it. A beautiful view of the sunrise over Maunakea, a nice walk into town, a quiet neighborhood, and close proximity to many outdoors adventures (as a cyclist and trailroad runner).
This property is fantastic for 2 people. The bed is huge. The kitchen is well equipped and the deck is perfect for sitting and having coffee and looking at those views. It's clean and the owner. J is very easy to work with.
Like other reviews the driveway is a challenge until he told us the best way. The setting is really nice in the trees. We had gecko visitors inside the unit which was a surprise. Well equipped. Nice to have beach items for use. Good restaurant in the area.
We had a wonderful two-week stay at this quiet, private cottage in Waimea. Set on a hill behind the main house, it offers stunning viewsâMauna Kea from the front door and the ocean from the other side. The cottage is simple but comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen, a comfy king size bed, a full bath, and a great library of books. Itâs a peaceful retreat while still being close to town. If youâre looking for a relaxing stay with beautiful scenery, this is a great choice.
Grateful that we stayed at this cottage; it felt like home and a different experience than a resort hotel stay. Our favorite was being able to.sit on the balcony and enjoy the cool breeze, sunsets, and starry nights.
Fantastic location in Waimea! Perfect place for a couple. We already have another reservation for the Captainâs Quarters Cottage and are really looking forward to our stay.
This is a beautiful loft cottage with all the amenities The driveway is a real challenge, and the shower taps are tricky. Overall itâs a great space and we would recommend it highly!
Jay's place was such a haven. It was quiet and well-appointed, and had spectacular views up the coast toward Kona and behind the house looking back at Mauna Kea. Would absolutely recommend.
This cottage comes well-equipped for a comfortable stay: a well-stocked kitchen, extra linens and pillows, a king bed, and many interesting books to choose from their library. The neighborhood is charming, town is right down the hill for shopping and eating out.
If you are a timid driver, the steep and narrow driveway might intimidate you. Itâs worth braving it to stay here!
We stayed in this property for 15 days and it was one of the best places weâve stayed in during a vacation. The view is amazing and the place feels very cozy and homey. We will definitely stay here again in the future and we highly recommend it for people who like private settings.
This is a little hidden gem! Great location in Waimea and stunning views!! This little cottage is very quaint and comfortable! The owner is on site and is very good at communicating about the property. We would definitely stay there again!
The cabin was in a great location and was beautifully decorated. We loved sitting out on the deck in the morning, having our coffee, birdwatching, and enjoying the view.
CaptainâsQuarters is a great place to stay and it served us well. We were able to cook meals and enjoy takeout from the fabulous Pau Pizza and Taco Rosa. Every day we headed out from Waimea, it being a central location that facilitated trips to Hilo, Hawi and all the beaches on the Kohala shore. Do have some warmer clothes for Waimea as it is cooler and can be windy. Jay takes good care of the place, though it is a little aged, and he is friendly, organized and helpful.
Jay's place is excellent. Great views, perfect setting. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

Captain Jay Chavez is a retired ship's Captain, pictured here with wife Diane off the Island of Kauai on the NCL Cruise Ship Pride of Aloha, he commanded prior to retirement. Jay and Diane are long time residents of the Big Island and have raised two Sons in Waimea. The Big Island is a great place to enjoy the outdoors.
The peaceful location in the center of town offers so many advantages. The location is perfect for long walks, convenience to shops and restaurants and has a relaxing vibe.
Waimea has a lot of micro climates and the dry side of Waimea is often desired. It frequently rains daily which keeps the hillsides green but there is a magical quality about watching the sky at night when the sun sets. We fell in love with this unique cottage. The owners live on property in the main house.
