We had a great week at Naomi and Paul’s place. The house is beautiful and was very well equipped for all our needs. Amazing sunsets every night! Super helpful hosts. Thanks so much for everything
This impeccably maintained home sits perched on the slope above the fishing village of Milolii. The location is somewhat remote but easy to find. If you are looking for a resort/touristy experience, Milolii is not for you, in my opinion. For me, the location was perfection. Peaceful with wide open ocean views. The home is quite possibly the cleanest rental I’ve ever stayed in and is very well equipped. The beds are comfortable and Naomi’s is a delight to rent from and communicate with. I enjoyed spotting whales offshore (seasonal) watching the wild goats make their way through the lava rock paths in front of the house and, from a distance, watching the various chickens & cats do their thing. This is a normal environment for rural Hawaii and I enjoy it very much. However, these critters are wild and should not be fed or approached. I ventured 20 minutes south to Oceanview and had a fun visit to Kai Loki’s for Super Bowl Sunday. The food, drinks, service and atmosphere's were all good. I would highly recommend Naomi & Paul’s home for a peaceful stay. The climate is perfect with warm days and cooler evenings.
It should be noted that Milolii is a native Hawaiian fishing village, perhaps one of the last remaining on the Big Island. Being respectful that this area is their home, heritage and livelihood is imperative.
I would not hesitate to recommend this property to others and look forward to returning.
Mahalo Naomi and Paul for a wonderful week of peace and restoration.
Walking into Naomi's home is like visiting a friend. Naomi did an incredible job with setting our expectations and taking care of us while we were there.
Directions were extremely clear and easy to follow. The home is very clean, well maintained and situated on a hill with an excellent view of the ocean! We were greeted by whales on day 1!!! My husband and I found peace while staying here. We are extremely grateful for Naomi and our time on the island.
This was just the place to spend our 20th anniversary! Besides the great views of the ocean sunset and whales out in the ocean; it was just the right paced neighborhood and perfect location to hit all of the places we wanted to on the island. Thank you so much for sharing your home!

We had a great time and enjoyed the view. Location requires expert driving, access to fresh fruits and vegetables is phenomenal. Neighbors were enjoyable , and no need to set your alarm clock. Wonderful stay!!!!!
The view from the balcony is awesome. We saw big double rainbows and beautiful sunsets. The owener is full of hospitality. We were so satisfied, will come back again. Thank you so much, Paul & Naomi san.
Very, very nice. What an expansive view, and all to yourself, no one else staying at the property.
It truly is a most wonderful place. Look forward to returning hopefully someday again!
Wow! What a great house. Paul and Naomi designed and furnished this house with care and attention to detail. The whole front of the house is dedicated to the view of miles and miles of shoreline where you can see almost 30 miles to the north and the fishing village of Miloli’i to the south. The bedrooms are thoughtfully located in the back of the house to take advantage of the mountain breezes. The house and everything in it was clean and had its place. The communication with Naomi prior to and during our trip was excellent. The area was quiet and peaceful. The first time we stayed in the Miloli’i area we stayed at a rental further down the mountain. This location was far better. We highly recommend staying at Paul and Naomi’s house and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again if we return to the Big Island. Mahalo Paul and Naomi.
100% worth the trek out of the way to stay at this place. The home is spacious and a perfect remote work destination. Make sure to pick up groceries before you arrive, the nearest grocery store is a ~20m drive.
Will 100% stay here again. The view was INCREDIBLE. The goats around was so cool, roosters, chickens all the cute things!! This place is a 10/10. Also the owners are incredible as well. They left us campaign for our anniversary, even tho we don’t drink we appreciate being thought of. Thank you so much for allowing us too stay in your beautiful home.
