This is one of the best properties in which we have stayed in the islands. The property owner was attentive and pleasant to deal with. It's in a quiet, family oriented neighborhood. The beds were quite comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The gas grill was handy and we used it a few times. We also enjoyed the lanai with a nice view of the back pasture and some wild turkeys. It's not far to Foodland or KTA supermarkets. Waimea is pretty laid back and a nice break from touristy areas. If you visit Waimea, this is the place you want stay.

This is a comfortable home in a quiet Waimea neighborhood. There’s a beautiful pasture behind the house with a few cows roaming around. It’s a very short drive to grocery stores, restaurants and farmers’ markets. It’s a great location for accessing both sides of the island. It is a bit of a drive to Volcano NP, but still doable. The beautiful Kohala beaches are also close by. We were also close to some great hiking trails. So all in all, this is a great jumping off point for most of the island.

This place turned out to be a real gem. Located in a residential area just outside Weimia on the Big Island, it was the perfect place to explore the entire Island. It was easy to get to everywhere even Southpoint. The furnishings were excellent and the host supplied practically everything you would need other than your food and toiletries. Very spacious rooms with large beds. If there was any complaint it would be the internet was very slow - but adequate for our needs. Also cell service was pretty spotty, but probably depended upon what carrier you were using. But all of that is somewhat expected except for the large urban areas in Hawaii. Nothing to host could have done about it anyway. We would recommend this rental should you be looking for a centralized location that is practically located to All Points of interest for an extended stay. We had stayed previously in a condo in Kailua Kona and other times in Hilo and traveling to the other side of the island or down south you would be pressed for time in a day. Staying in Waimea there was plenty of daylight even a Trek to South Point.

Lovely home for 2 couples. Both beds were very comfortable. Unfortunately the view from the deck toward the mountains is hindered by the bamboo. We really appreciated using the cooler and beach items.

I rented it for the views in the picture, and it did not disappoint. We are small town people who live in the country with livestock of our own, to have the backyard view that it does was absolutely beautiful to us, it’s a short drive to anything you want to see, beaches or mountains. The home is beautiful and well put together and very clean.. It has everything you need for a short to long-term day. Communication was absolutely excellent even when I had to ask a few stupid questions, she got right back to me. The neighborhood was perfect, little kids playing on their go karts families hanging out watching the game on Thanksgiving, it was like driving home in the afternoons. It felt like you moved right in, not rented a place for a few days.

Wee loved looking over the pasture at the cows while drinking our coffee in the morning. Sweet house and very clean. The king size bed was extremely comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet.

We had an incredible stay in Waimea! The house was wonderfully cozy and comfortable, making it feel like a home away from home. We particularly appreciated the thoughtful inclusion of beach equipment, which made our trips to the shore even more enjoyable. We’d definitely stay here again – it was the perfect retreat! Mahalo!

The house was immaculate with everything you could think of and more. It was the perfect size for us and so very cozy, especially with the fireplace. I loved the peace and quiet and the overall setting was beautiful with the deck overlooking the pasture. I would stay here again and would recommend it to others. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

The house is awesome. Wonderful neighborhood, dead end street. We felt safe & comfortable. House is stocked with anything you may need for cooking, beach, restaurant & activity referrals. Beds and linens were very comfortable. The fireplace was much appreciated early mornings & evening. The view of the pasture from the lanai is breathtaking! We would definitely stay again.

Great place to stay and get an experience of the area. The home is cute and comfortable has a great lanai with a view of the pastures and old growth trees and a quiet neighborhood. Who would ever think that a fireplace actually might be used in Hawaii but we enjoyed it so much.

I highly recommend the house-both the property itself and Waimea. It is a calm, beautiful spot to wake in the morning and close distance to grocery stores, restaurants, etc. We stayed three nights and were very happy.
