The location was QUIET and the inside of the cottage looked just like the pictures. It had everything we needed for our 4 night stay.
We had a wonderful stay! This cottage is cozy and comfy, providing everything we needed for a great visit. It’s in a quiet neighborhood close to Waimea but also close to the beach. We enjoyed watching the birds and the amazing views of Mauna Kea. It’s clean and well kept. We did find some ants in the kitchen but the owners responded right away to take care of the problem. We did have a bit of trouble figuring out where to go when we arrived. It wasn’t obvious from the info provided that we needed to enter the unit through the laundry room. Overall it was a great stay!
Great Location. Clean and inviting. My wife and I love it...We even had a cool dog and cat come visit us!!!
Wonderful peaceful place and a very accommodating host. Highly recommend!!
Enjoyed our stay at this serene beautiful cottage. Exactly, as described and more. Had all the amenities that made our stay so welcoming and comfortable. Check in and out was quick and easy. Marc communicates promptly, we got to meet him, very nice guy. Highly, recommend this place. Mahalo Marc!
We had a great stay. The host was very kind and helpful. Great views. Close to town and the beaches. But far enough away to feel like you’re out in the country. Loved it. Thank you
Quiet and serene with breathtaking views. You're gonna love this gem!
Beautiful, peaceful cottage, with all of the amenities! Near good beaches and downtown Waimea. 1 hr away from Kona airport.
Customers need a little tutorial on the opening and locking of the door.
We loved this place! Perfect setup for us as a family of four and exactly as advertised. Marc was a very helpful friendly owner who went above and beyond a couple times during our stay. Loved the location in particular, super chill and quiet, beautiful property with amazing views. We liked that it was a bit away from the resorts and busier area, but still close that we didn’t feel isolated. Would definitely stay here again
This cottage is so cute and quiet. The view of the mountain side is gorgeous. Marc was a great host. Would definitely stay here again
We were working in Kamuela and it was nice to have a house that was so close to the town.
The home sense is very kind and gracious. It’s an off the beaten path local which is what we were looking for. Our first night we arrived late and Mark gave us food!!! It felt like our home the entire time and the property itself is exactly as described. As a spiritual person I felt very close to Love and God. I honestly believe it was the best vacation I’ve ever had in my lifetime as a 56 year old dude! Mahalo Nuie Loa Botha Mark
Cozy Cottage just a right distance off the beaten path. Perfect base for Northern Hawai’i exploration.
This is a nice little place away from the hubbub of downtown. Great spot for sunrises and sunsets, and the place was spacious and clean. The host was friendly and even sent us back a camera we left. Would recommend.
