Enjoy the cool setting of Kamuela. Located in the famed hub of Parker Ranch the beloved central point of verdant cattle country rich in Island history. Located on one of the hillsides above Kamuela town, this Chateau cottage sits near the top of the hill featuring unique architectural design with a cozy deck which facilitates indoor/outdoor living. Stargazing is Prime on a clear night.
Please be advised that some of the older reviews on this site were based on the main house of the property which was operated as a vacation rental from 2015 - 2020. The current Captain's Quarters rental is the studio/cottage on the property as shown in photos. We invite you to stay at our lovely cottage which we trust you will thoroughly enjoy.

I can't do the fabulous quality of the light in this sweet spot justice. But should you find yourself here, you'll see for yourself--whether looking out on the sloping landscape to the Pacific and the beaches north of Kona or to (monumental!) Mauna Kea. As equally lovely was Jay's helpfulness in assisting you with whatever you might need, provision of all amenities in this just-right-amount-of-space place situated in Waimea with its pretty perfect weather! Maybe more accurately you could classify it as perfectly variable, with mistings interspersed with brilliant sunshine, which was exactly what a (too) hot-of-a-summer-weather escapee was looking for. SUPERLATIVE short-term rental in every way!

Fantastic location in Waimea! Perfect place for a couple. We already have another reservation for the Captain’s Quarters Cottage and are really looking forward to our stay.

If you want glitz and glam, no. If you want a peaceful idyllic cozy place with a fantastic patio to enjoy a read or a meal on, book it! It’s centrally located to the town of Waimea and 250 which takes you up and over Kohala and the stunning north side of the Big Island.

This is a little hidden gem! Great location in Waimea and stunning views!! This little cottage is very quaint and comfortable! The owner is on site and is very good at communicating about the property. We would definitely stay there again!

This was a great cottage tucked away in the Waimea hill sides. Quiet friendly neighborhood I would definitely stay again.

We stayed here for two nights at the beginning of a 2 week vacation over on Kauai. The property is well maintained and very clean. There are awesome views from the deck and from inside. We were very pleased with this property and the location. Having been to the Big Island a few other times, we have always loved Waimea and have talked about staying here - we're glad we chose this particular property! The location is perfect, allowing for a quick drive to town, a scenic drive to Hawi on Kohala Mountain Road or a 20 minute drive down to Hapuna Beach.

My stay here was just perfect. I was able to get in a lot of quiet time, which is what I wanted, but town was only a 4 minute drive away, the beach only 20! It was the best of both worlds. The place was clean, the views beautiful, and the owner was super nice. Some of you will read about the driveway and it's steepness. Don't let it intimidate you! It's easy to manage (and I'm a city driver from the flat lands!) but I do recommend a car or jeep with some road clearance to avoid any issues. I can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet get away!

We spent 2 beautiful nights in this hilltop cottage that revealed commanding views of Mauna Kea and the ocean. Inside was equally spectacular with unique architecture, lovely artwork, wonderful shelves with great books, well-stocked kitchen, comfy bed and a nice deck for dining. Very clean with lots of attention to details that made our stay enjoyable. Mahalo!

We stayed for 8 nights while visiting family here. This rental is perfect for (2) people and has everything you need. Communication with Jay was great. The unit was very clean and cozy. Sitting outside on the deck was very enjoyable with the great view and bird watching.
A table for two inside would be a nice option in case of bad weather.
The steps leading up to the door might be a concern if you have mobility issues. The driveway (as many have mentioned) is steep. A SUV would be a good choice if available. We had no issues while there.
We will return to Waimea again and stay here if available as this unit and Jay accommodated all our needs.

We stayed in this property for 15 days and it was one of the best places we’ve stayed in during a vacation. The view is amazing and the place feels very cozy and homey. We will definitely stay here again in the future and we highly recommend it for people who like private settings.

The cabin was in a great location and was beautifully decorated. We loved sitting out on the deck in the morning, having our coffee, birdwatching, and enjoying the view.
