Property Description
The unique and extraordinary Cliff House of Laupahohoe is a perfect retreat for someone who wants the 'real Hawaii' experience and to get away from it all. The Pacific Ocean is your constant companion from almost every room in the house. The property excels in location and views!
We are located along the Hamakua coast at Laupahoehoe point, where 300 foot sea cliffs surround a peninsula on both sides. Here, the crashing windward waves of the Pacific Ocean carve rugged pinnacles into the coastline, greatly displaying the never-ending conflict between the land and the sea.
From the heights of the home you'll see whales in the winter months. Entertain from the kitchen with a span of windows that gives you the feeling of being at the prow of a ship. The sea breeze and sun shades keep the suite cool on days with miles of ocean surrounding you
The Hamakua Coast is one of the Hawaiian Islands most scenic and unpopulated coastlines. It stretches for 80 miles of exceptional agricultural lands with gulches, waterfalls and abundant flora. A Pacific island paradise awaits you.

This is our second time staying at this property. It’s comfortable with a fabulous view. It’s the perfect spot for exploring this side of the island. It’s in a very central location in a quiet neighborhood. Owners are communicative Highly recommend this property!

It was so great to stay in my old home again. I was born and raised there so it was lovely to see that amazing view again. The work Chow and Tom have done on it is exceptional - that deck! Wow! The beds are super comfy and the kitchen is stocked with just enough things for a family of 4 to be comfortable. The property is stunning - Lynn, the caretaker, has done an incredible job with all the plants, it's like a botanical garden! She stopped by a few times and it was nice to chat with her.Sitting on the deck to watch the rains come and go is so soothing. Even if the weather is not ideal it is still glorious to sit in the hammock and relax. It really is a small home but doesn't matter since you'll spend all your time either exploring the island or relaxing on the deck.There was some initial confusion with the dates we reserved that caused some alarms (my sister in law had the same issue a few years before and had to switch her reserved dates). Other than that, it was a great experience!

Location in Laupahoehoe was ideal for us because we were visiting friends in Laupahoehoe, Hilo, and Waimea. Indoor lighting in back bedroom and living room were insufficient for reading a book. Bedroom needed a light bulb replaced and the local man who was supposed to do maintenance wasn't skilled enough to get the globe off of the ceiling fan to get out the bulb. Washer dryer out in the carport were large and worked fine after we figured the buttons out. House instructions were outdated, not reflecting more recent changes, and there were none for the appliances. The owners are in Kona and dont make it over often. They were friendly and responsive, but their dependence on the neighbor couple to do things wasn't ideal.
All this being said, I might stay there again since it's one of the few vacation rentals in Laupahoehoe.

We only stayed one night out of the two nights we reserved. Although the view from the back deck was beautiful since the front door could not be locked we didn't comfortable staying. Only one bedroom could be used due to the light mechanism not function in ceiling fan. Pool was listed as an amenity but no pool existed. I brought this up to the owners and they have since had this removed from their listing. The owners were very helpful while we were in contact and gave us a lot of information about the surrounding area.

Beautiful view! We loved watching the dolphins and whales from the lanai. Listening to the waves crashing at Laupāhoehoe was very relaxing,

Chow and Tom's place is truly incredible. When we arrived their neighbor was there to greet us with fresh fruit and vegetables from the property. They truly make everything feel like your home. The pictures of the Lanai don't fully capture the beauty and ambiance. Watching and hearing the sounds of waves crashing on Laupāhoehoe Point, viewing the whale migration and relaxing in the morning and evening here really made our visit! Thanks, Chow and Tom!

This house was everything we needed. Our hosts couldn't have been more helpful. They are very attentive hosts.

The property was exactly as advertised. The wrap around deck (perfect for dining or just relaxing) and view were our favorites. This property makes a good base to explore the rest of the island. The nights bring a beautiful ocean breeze. The house is situated so that there is plenty of privacy and the surrounding gardens are beautiful. The host accommodated our late arrival with food and drinks to get us through to the next morning. This was a pleasant experience and I would recommend this property.

The property owners thought for some reason that we had cancelled our reservation which we had not. The owner made arrangements for a different place for us and compensated for the inconvenience. Very kind. We were disappointed not to stay there but enjoyed the replacement accommodation.
