Amazing! Loved the home and loved the hosts even more! Audrey made us the most amazing breakfasts. She is an angel. We really hope to come back again in the future.
We loved staying here. It is a privilege to stay with Audrey and we feel fortunate to have found this place. The panoramic view is extraordinary, the accommodations were perfect for our needs and although we are ocean/lake lovers, we enjoyed having a pool and hot tub available. Audrey's breakfasts are bountiful and delicious. The fruit is outstanding: finally, ripe fruit, something we rarely get here back east. Really, you can spend hours here just taking in the view and relaxing. Everything is neat and pristine but most of all, we enjoyed our lovely, gracious host.
Great location, stunning views with daily wildlife viewing, delicious breakfasts, very comfortable space, immaculate swimming pool and hot tub, beach gear, easy access to many beaches, snorkeling, a dive shop for gear rental, a seafood market with delicious, fresh poke bowls, and a nearby tiki bar/restaurant with a great happy hour (seafood bar and grill). Also near a couple of historic parks, and a short drive to Hawi and Waimea.The hostess is delightful. The kitchen has a full sized fridge (stocked with coffee, milk/creamer, and juice), granola bars and cereal was made available. There is also a toaster, coffee grinder, and a grill.There is shampoo, conditioner, and body wash available in the bathroom.
My wife and I spent 6 nights at Audrey and Jerry's lovely home this February. The site was perfect for us. North of the main resort areas, it is quiet and serene. The views are spectacular, and we could see Humpback whales from the porch of our room. The room is meticulously cared for by Audrey, and she makes fantastic breakfasts that she delivers every morning. She is a great host, and gave us lots of tips for our stay.
The property is beautiful and the hostess is exceptional.
Audrey was the perfect host and prepared scrumptious breakfasts each day. The property is beautiful and peaceful with amazing 180+ degree views of the ocean. You can also see the Milky Way on clear nights as the light pollution is very low. It feels very safe and secure with a bit of remoteness while being close to Waimaea and the Kohala beaches. The pool was refreshing and looks out over the ocean as well. Higly recommended! A great place to make lifelong memories, we would definitely stay here again!
Arrival was good. Gated community confirm hours manned before arrival. Audrey met us at the gate in less that 5 minutes.
If you plan on cooking you will need to use the BBQ grill or microwave. No other cooking options. We improvised and made it work. Very nice breakfast served daily.
Mattress firmness is a personal choice. I found it soft, could have been more comfortable.
Would return again except for the sleeping.
Extremely clean and well furnished.
Mahalo,
Audrey and Jerry
Audrey was an amazing host and the property was gorgeous. She lives onsite in and brought delicious breakfast every morning, but we still had our privacy and got to enjoy the stunning view. It cannot be understated how gorgeous it is sitting on the patio or in the pool overlooking the ocean. I was worried it would be too remote being so far from Kona but there are several great beaches (and Audrey had plenty of beach gear for us), delicious poke (at kawaihae marketplace), and only 20 minutes to Waimea. We had an amazing honeymoon on the big island and hope to come back to stay here again!
Note the unit doesn’t have a stove top or kitchen sink, but does have a full-size fridge and microwave.
I have never seen a view quite like this. The rolling hills around the property and the 180 degree view of the ocean was like nothing we've experienced. The best part of this property is Audrey. She is the most gracious host we've ever had. Her island breakfasts featuring home-grown mango are perfect. While there, we had a bit of rental car trouble. Audrey went above and beyond to help bail us out of this situation. She's wonderful.
Wonderful host Audrey cooked amazing breakfast, different every day. Fabulous view from the bed of whole Kohala coast. Super clean, comfortable and convenient. Watching the Ocean from the veranda is magical.
Our time @ Audrey and Jerry’s was absolutely wonderful. Easy access to everywhere we wanted to go including a quiet little beach at Spencer Park. Highly recommend to all. Breakfast was an added delight.
Second time here - Private - Great Views - Setting is Nice - Enjoyed Pool and Hot Tub - Very Comfortable - Shower is Great and Owners are Super Nice!! Hope to return again!! John & Jenny. Eureka, Montana
We had a quick three day getaway to the big island. This place was truly amazing. It is a way from the crowds and the resorts, and is quiet and clean. Our host Took good care of us and made us great breakfast. We had fun exploring the northern end of the island and watching the whales from the patio. Definitely will go back.
Makai Hale was the perfect place for sun, relaxation, whale watching and that feeling of ahhhh. The accommodations were extremely comfortable and private. And besides all that, we were treated with a variety of Audrey's delicious breakfasts. We hope to be able to return here soon.
Audrey and Jerry are consummate hosts and Makai Hale is absolutely fantabulous! Staying here is tantamount to having one's own private resort! The setting is breathtaking. Wonderful bedding, linens and towels, scrumptious breakfasts. Great assortment of beach equipment. Pristine swimming pool and hot tub. Spectacular sunrises, sunsets, star gazing, and whale watching. Great location in North Kohala. This was our second stay with Audrey and Jerry and we hope our future holds many more stays at Makai Hale!
