LATEST NEWS: VOLCANO ERUPTION
THE VOLCANO: The volcano eruption has little effect on our part of the island. The eruption is on the other end of the Island from our location. The trade winds blow most of the smoke to the southern end of the Island and has no impact on us at all. If the trade winds abate, we might temporarily get a little vog (fog plus smog). Otherwise, know that you are safe with us.

The View House is the epitome of graciousness, peace, quiet, and privacy. It is a tropical oasis on three acres of manicured grounds, fragrant flowers, and tropical fruit trees. The predominant colors are the crystal-clear blue sky, countless shades of tropical green foliage, and the deep blue-green ocean. The oxygen-rich air reaches the estate untainted over 2500 miles of the Pacific. The sunlight actually sparkles in the air at times. All these elements taken together create a Garden of Eden that you will never want to leave.
From the large, sweeping lanai (deck), Maui can be seen in the distance across the Pacific. The View House is a lovingly renovated and updated sugar company's employee's house, retaining the feel of a bygone era. Superbly crafted and furnished with tropical bamboo and teak furniture, it offers an elegant and light-filled space.
All water running into the house comes from deep Island aquifers and is double-filtered and pure. Floors are hardwood and tile. The house features a lovely bathroom with a soaking tub, a large, fully-equipped kitchen with Mexican counter tops, a master bedroom with a queen bed and ocean view, a small bedroom with twin beds and garden view, and a fold-out queen bed in the living room. Both of these rooms are available on the second floor.
PLEASE NOTE THAT TWO ADDITIONAL ROOMS are available for extra charges per night:
-- The Mermaid Room, a lovely, small room on the first floor of the View House has an orchard and ocean view. It has one twin bed. The bathroom facilities and spa are just outside the door to the room. $35 extra per night.
-- The Buddha Room, at the entrance to the property separate but adjacent to the View House, has a full-size (double) bed and 1/2 bath (toilet and sink). The shower facilities are 30 steps away on the spa deck. $50 extra per night.
** These rooms must be booked separately by contacting the owner directly.
With all spaces occupied, including the queen bed fold out in the living room, the possible total occupancy of the facility can be as many as eight people. (two in the master bedroom queen, two in the twin beds in the small bedroom, two on the queen fold out in the living room, one in the Mermaid Room and one in the Buddha room.)
For even deeper relaxation, guests at the View House have exclusive use of our spa. Our infrared sauna, hot tub, and cold tub sit on totally private decks, surrounded by lime and moringa trees. Guests will find an additional shower room and water closet in the adjoining tiled breezeway.
This property is our only rental. We are a small, private operation and offer a serene, safe, exceptionally clean environment in “old Hawaii,” off the beaten track. There is one other house on the 3-acre property where the property managers reside. They will be available should you need anything during your stay. The caretaker lives in a small trailer at the far corner of the property.
We are 4 miles from ...

Marcel & Connie were amazing hosts. The Peace Garden was a great way to spend our last week on the Big Island. The view from the front of the house AND the master bedroom are crazy beautiful and having full use of the spa (sauna/hot tub/cold plunge tub) made the whole trip. It was great knowing, no matter how far we drove or hiked during the day, we had that to come home to. The view house was perfectly sized for two people and well stocked. We were also given free rein to wander the property and pick any fruit we cared to. All in all a great experience!

We enjoyed the solitude and beauty of this place. Plus, bonus roommates with all of the geckos that find their way inside and watch you from above! A wonderful place to stay.

This was our second stay at this property, and we enjoyed it just as much as our first stay. The kids loved playing in the orchard and sampling the fruit. The adults enjoyed the hot tub and the views.
The house was well-equipped, including beach umbrella, chairs, boogie boards, cooler, and beach towels.
It was a little cramped with 6 people this time, but very manageable as the kids didn't mind sleeping on the living room futon at all.
I continue to recommend this property. It's a lovely slice of rural Hawaii, complete with lots of gecko friends, an orchard, and beautiful ocean views.

We enjoyed our stay here with the gorgeous view. The property had mature lime and avocado trees and grounds were well maintained. Felt private and worked well for a romantic getaway. The sofa needs updated. Thanks to Marcus for the extra effort so that we had power during hurricane Hone.

This was a very comfortable stay! We were a family of 4 with family in Waimea, which is close enough to get to easily, and little farther for beaches. The place was clean and the beds comfortable. The wifi and cable worked wonderfully! We loved waking up to the ocean view, and the spa features were delightful. Thank you! Only recommendation would be a laundry basket, as the laundry is outside the house near the spa.

The house is the perfect size for 4. The view is incredible and the grounds are magical. The caretakers are super sweet and thoughtful. We stay in a lot of rentals and this one is one of our best ever! The photos don't do it justice.

Nestled in a quiet area of the island and away from the touristy side we found this perfect Hawaiian retreat. From the moment we checked into the home and through out our stay we felt welcomed and taken care of by our hosts. This serene home had everything we needed to provided a comfortable stay. After a day spent exploring it was a great place to come home to and relax. It was very relaxing strolling the property grounds. We especially enjoyed the sauna and hot tub. Despite being away from all the touristy places it proved to be a great location to access all the amazing things to be found on the Big Island. Would highly recommend staying at this wonderful home.

The cottage is nice, beautiful views, beautiful grounds to walk around in with fresh fruit to be enjoyed off the trees. The owners live next door and are absolutely lovely people with vast knowledge of the area and all the rare and unusual plants on the grounds. It is a very private area and lends to a very calm and relaxing stay.

The property was great. Clean. Functional. Comfy. Based on the pictures we were looking for a place a little more away from neighbors and this isn’t that. Neighbors are right close because the property is long and narrow BUT the way the yard is bordered by trees/other plant life you do get privacy. I feel like a picture of the parking area would make the house easier to find so you would know what you are looking for street side.

We loved our stay. Lovely hosts - both the owners and the caretaker. Tranquil setting. Well equipped house. Clean hot tub. Nice laundry room. Great location. It was so nice to stay in a vintage plantation style home.

What a slice of heaven. We loved walking around the property, listening to the nightlife sounds, having breakfast on the deck with the geckos and the view. The hot tub was an amazing treat after a day of exploring. The hosts and their caretaker were so welcoming and provided a lovely selection of fruits and fresh flowers. We loved this place.
