Private lanai with abeautiful view! Personable owner made us feel like we were visiting a friend.
We enjoyed the swimming pool and the view the calmness and quietness of your location.
Beautiful and peaceful. So enjoyed Rachel's guest house. The sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. Fun watching the cruise ships go by at night and looking up at the millions of stars. Plus the fresh fruits and flowers were a special treat. The home itself was the perfect size for us Just wish we'd had more time to hang out.
We really enjoyed our stay. Such a comfortable home away from home with a beautiful view from the lanai.
Staying at Rachel’s house was an absolute delight! The beautiful surroundings, stunning ocean views, and refreshing breezes made for a truly relaxing getaway. The home was incredibly comfortable and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! 12 out of 10!!! Would absolutely recommend
We stayed one week in Rachel’s Pool house and I didn’t want to leave. Now look, if you want a resort experience please just go to a resort but if you want to feel like you live in Hawaii this is the place to be. The view from the lanai is breathtaking and the pool house is the perfect size for two. I swam almost every day in the pool and watched the ocean in between laps. We visited the local Farmers market and hit the Public House our last day for delicious pizza (oh and Tex’s does have THE best malasadas. Our host Rachel was very helpful throughout our stay and the flowers she left for us upon arrival were beautiful! I really hope to come back here again next year.
The property is beautiful with a gorgeous ocean view! Very quiet, lots of birds! Our host, Rachel was very nice and the Ohana unit had everything we needed and is very nice. Loved the big kanai!
The view was so beautiful! The property was clean and the evenings were peaceful. We look forward to returning.
Great first stay on the Big Island, very secluded and peaceful, beautiful Pacific view
As advertised. No problems. Location is very rural but that fine for us.
Rachel’s quaint on-site guest house is a peaceful retreat on the Hamakua Coast, magnificent lanai and ocean view. The vintage house has had some updates and is fairly comfortable and reasonably stocked, wry clean. Rachel was a delight to meet, and very quietly respectful of our property. It is about 5-10 min drive outside of Honoka’a, which is a cute town (although no dinner restaurants!).Rachel’s pool looked very nice, hot tub is not working but we were out exploring most of our days. 15 min drive to Waimea,a beautiful drive where you can find about anything. The night sky view from the guest house was amazing; bring a star chart or app to enhance your viewing! Our only suggestion would be to have a bit more information about the house and maybe the local area provided, but we found our way around just fine. This is a beautiful location on a hillside looking out on the ocean, and a good waypoint for seeing Waimea, Kovals and even Hilo-town and surrounding areas.
My mother and two brothers live on a plot in a remote part of Hamakua coast, near Honokaa. I visit at least once a year. Rachel, the host/owner, keeps a Ohana unit in wonderful shape, she's responsive and a pleasure to work with. She lives on-site. The day we arrived, so did the remnants of a small hurricane. The island and the property were being drenched. Rachel made it as easy as possible for us to get into the unit dry and safe.
The unit itself has an unobstructed view of open Pacific. It is peaceful. At night you see the ships and the fishing boats working their way toward Hilo Town. It's a great place.
What a great place to sit on your lanai and enjoy a cup of coffee while taking in a gorgeous ocean view.
Clean and comfortable with an amazing view!
We had a great stay at Rachel’s place. We were visiting friends in the neighborhood so the location was perfect for us. The house is roomy and everything we needed. The bed was comfy. Beautiful lanai views for morning coffee, meals and sunset. We did not use the pool but it looked nice. I would definitely book this wonderful place again.
Absolutely perfect! Rachel is respectful and accommodating. Her property has everything. So much beauty and nature. What a view from the gorgeous lanai. We had beautiful mornings on the lanai. Just perfect. We will be back!
Beautiful quiet location with grocery store close, easy access to owner. Close to some of the beaches, farther away from airport and resorts.
Beautiful views. Cozy and comfortable home with the best lanai I've ever been on. Rachel is a dream of a host.
I loved to stay there, wonderful house and quiet place. Rachel is a gorgeous host. Would like to come back soon.
This property far exceeded our expectations! So quiet, clean and comfortable. If you are looking for a place to relax and decompress, I would highly recommend staying here. We will definitely be back ❤️
The property sits at the end of a lane detached from the host’s home. The elevation is about 400’ above sea level in a remote area near the north shore. There is a small town within a 5 min drive. The unit has a nice large lanai with a view towards the ocean. The unit is well lived in with a nice kitchen, bath, bedroom and a small sitting area. The dining table is on the lanai. The host is very friendly and their day to day living does not interfere with the privacy of this rental unit. The unit itself could use some updates and a refresh, but it was comfortable. The king size bed is a nice feature, and although the pillow top cover helped, a new mattress would be a nice update. The evenings on the covered and partially enclosed lanai were quiet and very relaxing. The location is perhaps a bit more remote than we anticipated, but we enjoyed our stay. A couple of things the owners could address are; the oven door does not close properly so when we used it, the whole unit heats up, and the blinds are all in poor / worn shape and it is very hard to open (and close) the windows as is requested by the hosts when you cannot lift the blinds.
Stayed a wonderful week! Very nice! Loved looking at the stars at night! Rachel is a lovely person. Only suggestion is to get a new mattress.
Beautiful place with great view, with a good price.
