Fabulous ocean views! Lanai with the Geckos very entertaining!
Replacing full ant traps with fresh on a regular basis would help the ant problem!! Of course bugs are a real thing in the tropics.
Very nice little bungalow.

Jim and Kim have a lovely little cottage on the coast! We had a very relaxing stay and enjoyed listening to the cows and the frogs on the lanai each night. The landscaping was stunning! As newlyweds, we wished it was a bit more secluded from the main house.

I loved the location of this vacation home. Updates from the photos as far as the kitchen is that the fridge is bigger and outside on the porch along with the induction cooktop. The grill was in great working condition. I really enjoyed cooking and eating outside on the porch. The view is spectacular. Jim was an amazing host and took the time to walk me around. I will be booking with Jim and Kim again.

Kim’s Cottage and Jim’s welcome were both awesome, two of us stayed for three nights and it was exactly as described and expected. The private patio was wonderful and it made for easy living. We did have some unwelcome encounters with mosquitos, but that was expected due to the location of the property and the season. We normally stay in Hawi and the location was incredibly convenient for us to explore the northeastern side of the island. Once welcomed by Jim, where he gave us an overview of the cottage and the property, we were afforded incredible privacy throughout our stay. It was just perfect, exactly what we needed :)

What a fabulous find! The cottage is one large, very well stocked, room with two very comfortable beds. The sink and microwave are inside, while the fridge and hot plate are on the porch.The porch has a glassed in corner with a table and chairs where we enjoyed our meals. The views from the porch and the patio are AMAZING!! The cottage was the perfect homebase for exploring the area, and coming back to this quiet, beautiful spot was such a treat. Jim was a welcoming and helpful host. We loved it and will definitely return!

We thoroughly enjoyed watching in the morning on the porch and cooking meals at sunset. Cozy little cabin feel with all the amemnities. Host was very communicative.

If you do not like crowds, if you do not mind driving to your attractions, if you like peacefulness, beautiful views and bird's song, this is a place for you.
Jim was extremely nice and accommodating. Because I asked about swimming, he showed great concern to make sure that I understand that the nearest swimmable beach is 35 min drive away. Ask him for the house number, and then you can use Google Maps direction and/or GPS coordinates.
I can only wish that all vacation rentals were so great, for us it was a paradise.

The hosts is nice. He communicates by phone and was there to personally walk us through the house. It was comfortable and nicely furnished, with a number of nice paintings by Kim, his partner and nice chaise lounges on a patio below with colorful landscaping. The lawn between car and house is fairly steep. The ocean view from the porch is quite nice. Not much counter space. Not a very good walking neighborhood, but far from (and 650' below!) highway (yay!) and close to Waipi'o Lookout and Honoka'a tsunami memorial. We would come again.

OK we are old geriatrics in our 80's We have been to the Hawaiian Islands many times and taken all the shows beaches resorts luaus entertainment you name it , we did it all. This time was different, What did we do for two weeks? "we counted cows" The location was absolutely beautiful. looking across a deep ravine lwatching black angus steers getting fat on the abundant grass with the Ocean as a back drop. Everything was just perfect, Our hosts Jim & Kim provided every thing we needed. Haven't slept on a full size bed for over 50 years, but we re-learned to "cuddle" The rental was close to the charming little community of Honokaa.
This is what Hawaii was like 50 years ago. Just kick back and enjoy... Thanks Jim & Jan we will be back
