This is a Hosted Property.
Recently constructed and fully remodeled 700 square foot self-contained living space in a private, separate wing of the house. The bedroom and living areas are filled with light, looking out to gorgeous views of the three mountains - Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa and Hualalai. Enjoy the fully equipped kitchen, dining area, cozy reading nook in the living room, spacious bedroom with walk-in closet, brand new bathroom with walk-in shower, wireless internet and Smart TV (movies, tv shows and music channels). We recently installed A/C for those warmer summer months.

The teak bench in front of the cottage is a perfect place to sit and watch the clouds play over Mauna Kea. Out the back door off the kitchen, there is a new gas barbecue and table and chairs for dining or enjoying sunsets or the bright starry nights. There is also a storage chest full of beach chairs, boogie boards and snorkel gear for your use.

Our 3-acre property has a large house, recently remodeled to include the guest cottage at one end of the house. I live in a separate wing on the other end of the L-shaped home. The two living spaces are separated by a covered lanai with fencing and landscaping providing privacy for each dwelling.

I respect my guestsʻ privacy and enjoy my own. I am also happy to answer questions you may have to help you enjoy your stay on the island. I will be happy to steer you to my favorite restaurants, beaches, walking trails and island adventures.

We enjoy gardening and have planted fruit trees and many flowers that attract abundant bird life. I'm happy to share fruit that is ripe during your stay, including banana, lilikoʻi, mango, papaya, avocado, lemon and lime.

Situated on the 'dry side' of Waimea, we are half way between Kawaihae and Waimea town, ten minutes drive from both. The best beaches on the island are 10-15 minutes away.

Located at 1800 foot elevation, our days are most often sunny and warm with occasional island breezes. There are ceiling fans and air conditioning for additional cooling if needed. Temperatures cool down in the evening - perfect for a good nights sleep. Cardinals, doves, finches and other birds fill our quiet 3-acre property with song....

Very nice and clean property in a quiet neighborhood. Lovely view of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. Close to Kohala coast resorts and the town of Waimea. The host, Catrinka, was responsive and communicated well. We had a great time and hope to stay here again!

This little place is just perfect for 2 people. Has everything you need as if you were moving into an apartment! There is even chairs to take to the beach, and there is a nice quiet beach nearby. If you need a nice quiet place off the beaten path and want peace this is it!!! We used the BBQ almost every night so didn’t spend lots of money dining out😀 I would definitely stay here again

This Ohana is an exceptionally clean, pleasant, private space, with well equipped kitchen. The location is serene, with an incredible view. You can see billions of stars if you are waking up very early! C. was a perfect host, welcoming, but not intrusive. She gave us valuable information about local activities. The birds at the birdfeeder were highly entertaining. Mahalo nui loa to our host!

This rental is very close to great beaches, beats the heat, and provides a great base for exploring the Kohala area. Everything you will need is provided. We would definitely come back.

We enjoyed our stay at this cute bungalow. Bed was comfy, loved the reading book and full length mirror in the closest and the views were spectacular and we enjoyed the location! It was close to the beaches and resorts as well as the yummy food places and farmers markets in town. Rental car would be a must though! Only downside is no pool but Spencer Park beach is super close and there’s a smaller more secluded beach next to it through the wooded area that’s awesome and not crowded.

What a great Big Island choice! This is a stunning property in a wonderful location. Though the unit is attached to the owner’s home, you’d never know it. It has its own level-in entrance and separate parking area, is completely quiet, and it actually feels like a separate cottage. It is beautifully and comfortably furnished, has an unbelievable number of amenities (even down to a yoga mat!) and the kitchen offers meal supplies like oatmeal, packaged noodles, brown rice, and a drawer full of spices. There is a wide array of small kitchen appliances, pots and pans, and utensils—though a small hot plate replaces a range with cooktop. The home is in a private community with widely spaced residences and large and well-tended properties. Best of all, the view over the scenic uplands and toward Maura Kea is stupendous! If you only want to stay at one place on the island, Waimea is a great choice—not only are the surroundings beautiful, but it offers a wealth of restaurants, is at a refreshingly cool elevation, is about equidistant to both Hilo and Kailua-Kona for exploring, AND it’s only a ten to fifteen minute drive to one of the best beaches on the island! Along with a welcoming and friendly owner, what more could you want?

We loved our cottage and the unit was exceptionally clean. The kitchen is fully stocked although there is no stove. We made due with the hot plate. Make note of this and plan accordingly for meals.

We enjoyed this cottage a lot. Being away from cities but close to all we want is perfect. Very clean and had everything we needed to be comfortable. Catrinka is a wonderful host.

Catrinka has a wonderful studio, located half way between the coast and Waimea. She is a gracious and kind host. Communication was fantastic, she gave us fresh fruit from her property to enjoy. The bed is comfy, plenty of storage etc. appreciated the filtered water pitcher. The views of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa are beautiful, plenty of birds to watch and bright stars at night. Not having to worry about ac was a bonus staying at 1800 feet elevation. Would definitely return. The only small issue was the WiFi was a little weak, not a big deal unless you are trying to work remotely, which we were not.
