We loved our stay! Matt and Rose were excellent hosts. Our residence was so serene and homey. I loved to grill and visiting with the geckos and loved the visits from Jackson!!

Harmonious Hawaiian Hideaway. Clean and lovely interior. The grounds are beautiful, and grilling on the deck overlooking the orchard at sunset was a plus. Great location perfect for our stay.

The property was a lovely private little oasis. Quiet, clean and very well kitted out. A perfect launching pad for exploring the Big Island.

For those familiar with the Big Island as we are, we were thrilled to find a spot so close to Waimea and the islands best beaches at such a reasonable price! Although the layout was kind of funky (you go through an office/entry then through the bathroom to get to the main living area, it was very cool! It would be a great place for long term digital nomads. The outside shower was a delight and the quietness of the area very appreciated. The owner was a solid communicator and kind enough to do a little shopping for us since we got in around 11pm. I always hate to name the cons because I never want to hurt the owner's feelings, but I rely heavily on the honest reviews when selecting a place as we travel a lot. The sagging, soft bed was a bummer; lanai/deck could use repair, microwave is pretty dated and difficult to get to, and the small tv is in an armoire and is pretty much only a few inches above floor level.However, as long as the bed was replaced (which the owner indicated he has plans to do) we would TOTALLY stay here again and would recommend it highly to others! We also loved the understated decor and all the BOOKS!

Quiet and comfortable. Matt was available for help with quick response. Enjoyed the neighborhood and convenience to kawaihae harbor and beaches on west side of island.

Gorgeous property, very quiet and away from traffic noise. No A/C, but fans were set up to circulate the cooler outside air in the evening and we slept comfortably. And it stayed cool during the day when it was closed up. I’m sensitive to cleaning products, and it was nice to see natural/fragrance free products were provided. He set us up with a starter kit of coffee, and there were oils and spices set up in the kitchen for our use. Kitchen was well equipped. Easy to drive just 10-15min to the Kahala coast beaches, shopping and restaurants in one direction, and Waimea in the other. Very spacious and comfortable for the two of us.

This property is clean, attractive and peaceful. We did feel closed in by the structure and the lovely but gated garden. In an area with sweeping views of hills and spectacular sunsets, we had to go on a long walk or get in the car to see them. The privacy has this downside.

Absolutely perfect for our stay, away from the hustle and bustle of the large towns but still close enough to everything you need (albeit a car is essential)
