Enjoy the cool setting of Kamuela. Located in the famed hub of Parker Ranch the beloved central point of verdant cattle country rich in Island history. Located on one of the hillsides above Kamuela town, this Chateau cottage sits near the top of the hill featuring unique architectural design with a cozy deck which facilitates indoor/outdoor living. Stargazing is Prime on a clear night.
Please be advised that some of the older reviews on this site were based on the main house of the property which was operated as a vacation rental from 2015 - 2020. The current Captain's Quarters rental is the studio/cottage on the property as shown in photos. We invite you to stay at our lovely cottage which we trust you will thoroughly enjoy.

This cottage comes well-equipped for a comfortable stay: a well-stocked kitchen, extra linens and pillows, a king bed, and many interesting books to choose from their library. The neighborhood is charming, town is right down the hill for shopping and eating out.
If you are a timid driver, the steep and narrow driveway might intimidate you. It’s worth braving it to stay here!

Grateful that we stayed at this cottage; it felt like home and a different experience than a resort hotel stay. Our favorite was being able to.sit on the balcony and enjoy the cool breeze, sunsets, and starry nights.

Captain’sQuarters is a great place to stay and it served us well. We were able to cook meals and enjoy takeout from the fabulous Pau Pizza and Taco Rosa. Every day we headed out from Waimea, it being a central location that facilitated trips to Hilo, Hawi and all the beaches on the Kohala shore. Do have some warmer clothes for Waimea as it is cooler and can be windy. Jay takes good care of the place, though it is a little aged, and he is friendly, organized and helpful.

Check in was super easy and we were immediately Surprised & Delighted by our first beautiful sunset upon arrival. Our hosts were attentive and had provided everything we needed for a night in or a day at the beach. The location was excellent considering that we were celebrating a birthday at Merrimans - just 3 minutes away. We would stay here again for sure!

We enjoyed the views, the artwork in the cottage and the tranquility. It was a great home base for exploring the beauty of the Kohala area.

Jay's place was such a haven. It was quiet and well-appointed, and had spectacular views up the coast toward Kona and behind the house looking back at Mauna Kea. Would absolutely recommend.

I can't do the fabulous quality of the light in this sweet spot justice. But should you find yourself here, you'll see for yourself--whether looking out on the sloping landscape to the Pacific and the beaches north of Kona or to (monumental!) Mauna Kea. As equally lovely was Jay's helpfulness in assisting you with whatever you might need, provision of all amenities in this just-right-amount-of-space place situated in Waimea with its pretty perfect weather! Maybe more accurately you could classify it as perfectly variable, with mistings interspersed with brilliant sunshine, which was exactly what a (too) hot-of-a-summer-weather escapee was looking for. SUPERLATIVE short-term rental in every way!

Fantastic location in Waimea! Perfect place for a couple. We already have another reservation for the Captain’s Quarters Cottage and are really looking forward to our stay.

If you want glitz and glam, no. If you want a peaceful idyllic cozy place with a fantastic patio to enjoy a read or a meal on, book it! It’s centrally located to the town of Waimea and 250 which takes you up and over Kohala and the stunning north side of the Big Island.

We stayed here for two nights at the beginning of a 2 week vacation over on Kauai. The property is well maintained and very clean. There are awesome views from the deck and from inside. We were very pleased with this property and the location. Having been to the Big Island a few other times, we have always loved Waimea and have talked about staying here - we're glad we chose this particular property! The location is perfect, allowing for a quick drive to town, a scenic drive to Hawi on Kohala Mountain Road or a 20 minute drive down to Hapuna Beach.
