My adult son and I enjoyed the ohana unitâs location, condition and how well it was equipped for our stay. Jim was a gracious host. He welcomed us emphasizing he was available to help with anything we needed. An inside outside concept worked well. A studio for sleeping (2 beds), and a nice bathroom. A lanai for coffee, relaxing, breakfast while taking in the stunning blue water views.
Lovely hosts and property. A relaxing stay with everything I needed to unwind. Gorgeous view (loved the lanai) and the friendly geckos. Will definitely be booking my return trip.
Our stay at Jim and Kimâs property was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by peaceful beautyâbreathtaking views, gentle breezes, and the soothing sounds of nature, from roosters to cows in the distance. It felt like pure serenity.Jim and Kim were phenomenal hostsâkind, welcoming, and genuinely thoughtful. One moment that especially touched us was when we asked if we could pick a banana from the trees for our daughter, who absolutely loves bananas. Not only did they say yes, but the next day, after returning from an excursion, we found that they had lovingly cut and gifted us an entire bunch. It made our day, and we were able to share the delicious fruit with our visiting familyâwho couldnât stop raving about how amazing they tasted!The property itself is a little haven. My daughter and I adored spotting geckos and gently âbefriendingâ them with fallen papayas. Their sweet dog was a joy to see around the property, and every sunrise, sunset, and star-filled night felt magical.Even our family from Honokaâa and Waimea, who came to visit us during our stay, were blown away by the peaceful views and said they wished they could stay with us just to experience that same sense of calm.This place is more than a vacation rentalâitâs a peaceful retreat filled with heart, beauty, and the warmth of two genuinely kind hosts. We are beyond grateful for the experience and would return in a heartbeat.
A little heaven, very peaceful place with just the sounds of the forest and the breeze at night. Youâll have full privacy unlike other misleading rentals you can see on Vrbo. Jim is a super host. The best place I stayed during my 2 weeks in Hawai
This rental was absolutely the perfect way to start out our Hawaii vacation. The gardens outside were absolutely beautiful and the view of the ocean couldn't be beat! We wish we had more time there to relax on top of all tourist stuff we did. The room was comfortable and matched the listing exactly.There is a short, steep hill that you need to climb to get to the unit (although you probably could have walked around the other house to avoid the hill) so be aware of you have mobility issues...just an FYI...not a complaint.We highly recommend this rental!!
Perfect Island Stay with Ocean Breeze and Warm Hospitality
Kim and Jamesâs cottage was the perfect home base for exploring Big Islandâs trails and beaches. Waking up to breakfast with an ocean view and the Pacific breeze was a highlight. The place was spotless, nearly insect-free, and stayed cool enough without AC. Itâs ideal for two or three people. The kitchen is simple but has everything you need to cook your own meals, and there are plenty of nearby spots with great local food. James welcomed us personally and was always ready to help, which made us feel truly cared for. Kimâs artwork in the house adds a lovely personal touch. Thank you both for sharing your beautiful place.
We loved the view from the deck and the outdoor kitchen on the deck. The view was amazing as was the sunrise's. We spent our first day just relaxing on the property and cooking at the cottage. Jim and Kim have created a fantastic Hawaiian getaway with lovely art.
Property overlooks the ocean and the wooded area and fields below. The owners are friendly and want to assist how ever they can to make sure the stay is comfortable. I will definitely be booking with them again.
This property was delightful. Our hosts Jim and Kim were friendly and right next door if needed. The little house is neat, tidy and decorated with great bohemian thought and original artwork. The yard is manicured and beautiful. Our favorite part of this stay was the evening concert of animals winding down for the night. We loved sitting at the outdoor kitchen table listening to the world quiet down as we watched the ocean at sunset. We will definitely go back.
Awesome views, peaceful, quiet and close to our favorite State Park, Waimea, and on the Hamakua Coast. Our Lanai had a great view with two outdoor tables and was covered. There was a relaxing outdoor patio as well. The kitchen was complete and the bed was comfortable. We will be back again. Mahalo, Jim and Kim
Wonderful stay at Jim and Kimâs lovely rental the view and the sounds from the Lanai are our favourite place. Landscaping is beautifully done and spacious unit has everything you need. Look forward to our next stay thank you both! Aloha!
Lovely cottage separate from the owners house but on the same lot. Great views of the ocean and sunrise.
Well equipped kitchenette for self-catering as there are not many restaurants near by, however there is a grocery store in the next town over.
Nice to hear the frogs at night, was very soothlng.
Morning will bring sounds of cockerels so if you're a light sleeper bring earplugs.
There is a fairly soft double mattress and a say bed, making this a perfect getaway for a couple.
Absolutely stunning views of the ocean. The landscape was amazing! Waking up every morning, drinking coffee on the lanai, listening to all kinds of birds and animals. We couldnât have asked for a better experience. A screen door into the home would have been nice to keep bugs from flying inside in the evening.
This is a very nice spot, with a serene view to the ocean over a herd of grazing cattle.
The cottage is also unique with most everything you need to make meals and relax. The bath is nice as well with a large shower.
The day bed (single) is a firm foam mattress and quite comfortable.. Alas, the double bed is worn and most uncomfortable. I'm sure that the owners have scheduled a replacement of the bed and upgrading it to a queen.
We would very definitely stay here again.
