Vues panoramiques incroyables sur l'océan et paisible

I love everything about this cottage. The location, ever changing million dollars ocean view, great neighborhood, and peaceful. Highly recommended it!!!

We enjoyed the drive to the house even if it was 18 miles from the Merry Monarch we attended. Mayla a 10 year old had a chance to be with horse that is across the street from the house and waited for us every morning we leave the house. She enjoyed that. Did not bother us to hear animals all night making their own unique sound.

The tub was so slippery so I bought a mat for the tub. I was afraid somebody is going to fall. It will be better if there was a dishwasher.

Mayla had a big cut under her leg when she sat on top of the cut tree for photo

Shooting. I was gonna use the first aid kit in the bathroom but it looked so old so I

used mine. Thanks

Well equiped house with more than the necessities - kitchen tools and spices and sauces. It was nice and quiet and very comfortable. The view is great too. The owners are very responsive and helpful - even getting friends to answer questions about the garden!

We loved our stay in the Gardenia House on the Big Island. It had all the conveniences of home and was so neat and clean upon our arrival which we really appreciated. The property itself is large and has a beautiful view of the ocean. It was so peaceful and quiet that we hardly knew anyone was around. We also liked the little things and attention to detail such as having a cooler, ice trays, an umbrella, full laundry facilities, the outdoor seating, outdoor grill, the fact that there was an extra key to use so the key in the lockbox could stay there if you accidentally locked yourself out, and the gate for extra security although I don't think there is much of a chance that any unauthorized person would come on the property due to its location. There are only locals who use the road. The house is located on the Hamakua Coast, and if you go north or south, there is plenty to do such as fantastic waterfalls, scenic lookouts, and tropical botanical gardens. Hilo town is underrated and still has the look of old Hawaii especially in the historic downtown district. It has many museums, bay front parks, and a famous banyan tree drive. We picnicked all over the area and especially liked Carlsmith Beach Park (right outside Hilo) as it has a lagoon with large sea turtles that are curious and come right up to you. Sandy and Bob are very welcoming as we were fortunate to meet them and attend church. They are happy to give you any info about things to do on the island. This was a dream trip for us, and we enjoyed every minute of it. On the last day it was difficult to leave as we sitting on the patio with the sun shining warmly just enjoying the moment. We would recommend for anyone to stay here and enjoy the beautiful Big Island. We are most grateful!

Sandy and Bob were wonderful hosts. Their Gaedenia House was very clean and inviting. Situated on a hill overlooking the ocean promoted a wonderful calm and relaxing place to be. The house had all the conveniences of home and we enjoyed our stay very much. We would most certainly return and stay there again if the opportunity presents itself. Thank you Sandy and Bob for allowing us to enjoy your vacation home.
