Great House and so loved the location.

Waimea is my favorite Big Island location. This house was actually bigger than I thought. It has two bed rooms and a loft that also has a bed. Everything worked and it was very comfortable and quiet. Only thing that would have made a 5 would be new mattresses.

Hillside Retreat

College friends renewing old relationship. House had everything needed to relax and fully enjoy the setting. Separate lodging in cottage was a boon to having some down time and accommodating different sleep/rise patterns. Wish there'd been a small deck table to enjoy sunset dinner outside living/kitchen area.......Hostess is wonderful, helpful and a real joy to the stay.

Lovely home

Spent 4 nights as a family of 4 during our spring break in March. Nice to have room to spreadout (teens each had a room and parents had the ohana room). We appreciated the games/reading material and a fully stocked kitchen (complete with spices to use!) Especially happy with the cooler weather (in 50s each morning and night) and the pheasants/turkey/peacocks that visited the yard. Beautiful view, very calming and quiet neighborhood. The hill provides quite the morning workout!

Disappointing stay

While weather is out of everyones control, the location of this accommodation is at altitude and in a predictably cool and rainy location. Unluckily for us , the weather was extremely cool and raining constantly. There was no heating available and we were extremely cold , damp and uncomfortable and left after 3 nights, (of a 14 night stay), for warmer and dryer accommodation. We approached the vendor for support but she failed to mention that there were space heaters available ( they had not been evident to us and their presence was only mentioned after we had moved out). The barbecue was reported to the vendor as unclean/unkept and she saw that it was remedied. All of the blinds in the accommodation were in poor repair. In addition, the closet for the separate cabin was full of disorganized random storage( including vanes from the vertical blind system which were coming off ), which made its use impossible. The sitting area is very small and certainly inadequate for more than 3 people.

Beautiful Home and Property

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at 3 different places during our trip, and this was the one I miss the most. It is nicely decorated and looks even more beautiful in person. The wood smell made it that much cozier.The kitchen was fully stocked, the shower was nice, and we really appreciated the beach towels and chairs. The large yard is beautiful and we loved sitting outside on the porch or inside behind the screened door to listen to all the animals around. The plants outside even smelled nice! The location of the house is great; we could easily drive into town for groceries or take out. No complaints here!

The Perfect Vacation Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Absolutely the perfect place and location for my family during our visit to the big island. What a great house with all the amenities we need. Comfortable beds, great bathrooms, and a well equipped kitchen & outdoor dining area. Not to mention the place was very clean.For us, it wasn't just a place to stay during our vacation, it was like a home away from home. It was very comfortable and pleasantly quiet neighborhood. We spent a lot of time enjoying the yard with the view of Mauna Kea every morning.
