Property Description
Centrally located to most fabulous Big Island attractions, world renowned beaches, mountain biking, world class golfing, star-gazing with astronomers atop majestic Mauna Kea, halfway to Hilo, the gateway to Volcanoes National Park, this 2 bedroom, 1 bath house with newly renovated full kitchen provides affordable accommodation for the adventure traveler. We are located in a rural, working class neighborhood.
Situated at a cool 2700' elevation in the saddle between Mauna Kea and the Kohala mountains, amid the Historic Parker Ranch, this cute downstairs duplex with separate 2 car garage for your use, sleeps 2-4 comfortably, private and quiet in a rural, working class neighborhood (no parties or loud noise please). Great for couples, friends, families, perfect for neighbor island or mainland kama'aina coming home to Big Island for family, sporting or other special events. If you would like to see the whole island, this a great location for you.
We are located about 20-30 minutes from the Kohala Coast beaches and resorts, an hour from both Hilo and Kona towns. The weather in this part of the island is similar to New Zealand in that it ranges from blustery tradewinds and rain to Idyllic, warm and sunny, with night time temperatures sometimes dipping into the 40's & 50's in the winter months. The surrounding landscape is lush, pastoral rolling hills and fields, complete with horses, cows and sheep.
The property is a quarter acre, 3 bedroom duplex, 2 bedroom/ one bath house with a 2 car garage for guests downstairs, separate upstairs apartment in the back, owners on site, available to help out with any questions you may have, but very private and quiet. We take care of cleaning and maintenance, thus keeping prices most affordable.
The house is 900 square feet, tucked away behind the front garage, large yard, with a king bed in the master bedroom, two twin beds in the second bedroom, full kitchen for dining in after a fun day adventuring, 5 miles from Kamuela town featuring a full range of culinary delights from finest dining to local deli style and everything in between, local produce from the farmers' markets, Zumba and fitness centers, yoga available for those in mind of a healthy vacation experience.
Our neighborhood is small, working class, kid friendly so we just ask for your respect and careful driving.
Should you have any questions regarding activities, sights to see, just ask, call or email. We've been living and playing here on the Big Island for 30 years, love it and happy to share any information to enhance your vacation experience.

It had a garage to keep your car. It was furnished with coffee and snorkeling gear, boogie board, life jacket which we used entire time. We enjoyed our stay and would visit again if we come back. Location was a little out of the way but if you want to spend time in Kona and Hilo it is half way between them.

Very well maintained and comfortable property!
The fantastic, recently renovated, kitchen was a pleasure to use. The two-drawer dishwasher was awesome...I wish we had one for our kitchen at home!
Exclusive use of the spacious garage and breezeway area was an added bonus.
Our pleasant Host Gemma, was easy to reach and communicate with and very responsive to our requests!

There is a very friendly neighborhood cat named Roxy and is super friendly, usually sits on the porch ( If you do book this Vrbo please be kind to her)
10/10 Would book again.

Convenient and well maintained cottage in a quaint local neighborhood. The cottage was considerably private. The location was easily accessible to the main thoroughfare and town. Ideal location as we were there to attend a wedding celebration in town. Absolutely would book this home again.

Very clean, but set in a noisy neighborhood with dog barking and howling next door. On the other side a lot of kids.
I still would have been fine except for the hair dryer, dehumidifier and microwave.
Someone had put mechanics oil in the dehumidifier. I dumped it several times adding dishwasher soap, it helped.
Hairdryer made a slight grinding noise before it died. I had to go buy one. Microwave is corroded inside on didn’t work at first. Worked after several tries.
