About this house rental
From our covered lanai you have expansive views of the ocean, the sprawling Kohala ranchland and Haleakala on neighboring Maui. There really is no better way to start your day!
And what you do with the rest of your day is completely up to you:
Feeling a bit lazy? Relax and sunbathe and dip in our solar-heated saline pool when it's time to cool off. Our place is quiet and secluded, but some visitor may still pop by - wild turkeys or tropical birds.
If you are feeling adventurous go explore the huge variety of activities Big Island has to offer.
At the end of the day fire up the gas BBQ grill on the lanai, mix yourself a tropical drink and settle down to enjoy the spectacular sunsets.
Our Kohala house is full of rustic charm with exposed beams throughout.
The Master suite has a King bed and an en suite bathroom complete with a jetted tub and a separate shower. It has ocean and mountain views and opens onto the lanai.
The second bedroom, which has a Queen bed, is separated from the main living space by rustic sliding doors, and it also opens into the garden, the pool and a stunning ocean view.
The third bedroom has two twin beds and the fourth has a set of bunk beds. .
The shower in the second bathroom conveniently opens to the pool.
Our spacious kitchen is fully equipped with everything from a coffeemaker to kitchenaid. The refrigerator has an in-built icemaker and water dispenser.
The house also has a breakfast nook and a dining room for those rare occasions when it might be too cold to enjoy the outside.
All the bedrooms have ample storage space, but the washer and dryer in the garage also give you the option on packing light.
We are licensed to operate in the State of Hawaii GE-037-971-1488-01 and TA-037-971-1488-01
Minimum booking: 30 nights.

All perfect
5.0
Each morning was spent enjoying the quiet environment with birds chirping, the occasional rafter of wild turkeys gobbling, hawks, owls, etc. while looking out an an incredible view. At 1,700 ft or so of elevation, the temperature is nearly perfect, with 85 degree days, and 65-70 degree nights.
The caretaker, Bob, is amazing, and was extremely helpful when we had any questions.
The house is generally a Mexican hacienda style, with excellent airflow and needs no AC. Old beams from a sugarcane barn are used to great effect in the house's design, and lend an air of history.
The house layout sets the master bedroom, master bathroom and a small bunk room separated from the main house by a breezeway. Although there were just three of us, this would work well for two families.The kitchen is well stocked with essential tools, and the BBQ is excellent.
We enjoyed the small pool and the sitting area next to it, as well as the large covered (shaded) lanai. The use of included beach chairs and snorkels, etc. was great.

This property is located in a gated community in North Kohala. The ~1600ft elevation provides very nice views of the Pacific Ocean looking west, The temperature is also cooler at this altitude compared to the coast. We found the house to be very well equipped from kitchen and BBQ tools to board games and snorkeling gear. Umbrellas, beach chairs, and water shoes for several kid and adult sizes were provided as well. The house is in a large gated plot with beautiful mature trees and is quite secluded from the neighbors. It is designed in two separate wings. One wing has the master bedroom and bathroom along with a small room with a bunkbed for 2. The other wing has the kitchen, living room, and two bedrooms and a bathroom. The bathroom in this wing is accessible from the outside. The two wings are separated by an outside hallway leading to the garage where all the water toys and laundry facilities are located. Our young kids enjoyed playing in the saltwater pool after a long day at the beach or hiking. The property owner and the property manager (who lives in the same community) are very helpful and responsive if you need something or have a question.
We found the location to be amenable to trips to the popular beaches in the North Kohala area (15-20 mins) in addition to quaint villages like Hawi (20 mins) in the north or Waimea (30 mins) to the east. There are some restaurants and a great fish market at Kawaihe harbor. There is also a food truck next to the fish market that makes excellent fish tacos. For groceries, your best bets are the Foodland Farms markets at Waimea or Mauna Lani (each about 30 minutes away). We tended to go to Mauna Lani as that is a 10-15 minute drive from the North Kohala beaches so we would stop by there on the way back from the beach. Larger stores like Target and Walmart can be found in Hilo (1.5 hr drive) or Kona (1hr drive). Kona also has a Costco if you are a member.
We spent more than two peaceful and quiet weeks at this house and our kids were sad to leave at the end. We had a great time with this house as our base for our Northern Big Island adventures.

A terrific place - a comfortable, restorative base for our explorations of the Big Island complete with all the necessities plus breezes, most of time, striking sunsets, majestic views, singing birds, tranquility. The spacing of the houses in Kohala Ranch provides for a sense of solitude, and the elevation of the house generally a few degrees cooler than the shore - and definitely more comfortable than back home! We can’t wait to return.

A fabulous home for our family group!
Our four generations aged 4 months to 90 years spent a week here. It was absolutely wonderful. There was something special for everyone right on site. Everything was convenient and comfortable. We especially appreciated the quality tools in the kitchen, the beach gear in the garage, the hand weights to keep us fit, the beautiful patio and barbecue, the comfortable beds and linens, the toys for the kids, the varied TV options, and the very excellent and reliable wifi. Thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our five night stay at Joe's Kohala Ranch house. We had all the privacy we could want, but the manager was always available if needed (he lives five minutes away). The Master Suite was lovely, with a big comfortable king bed and double bath tub, and there was always hot water when we wanted it. The kitchen had everything we needed and the large TV and patio were terrific.
The swimming pool was clean and inviting, but a bit cold because of the cool weather. Nice restaurants were only a few minutes away and swimming and snorkeling close at hand. We''ll certainly plan to return when we are fortunate enough to return to the big island.

This is a very nice place and very well maintained. The owners keep it as a home than a rental place. It is in part of the ranch where we get best of the weathers. We (+kids) had a wonderful time, fireplace is a nice touch for winters. Kitchen is well stocked and the garage is full of pool / beach toys. Garden is full of fresh herbs. Again thank you Joe (owner) and Bob (property manager who also lives closeby), any issues get resolved asap. Look forward to being back.

Peaceful Retreat
My family just finished our second trip in 2017 to this home in December. On our first day, like in the picture, we were welcomed with a rainbow and on our last full day of our trip, we were welcomed with a second. The home is located in the cooler section of the development known as the Meadows which offers warm days and cool nights which make for a great night of sleep. The location is also tranquil and private - a great place to get away from it all. During our stay we enjoyed seeing and hearing the cattle nearby and even got to pet some horses on the road. We also enjoyed the abundance of wild birds which visited the yard daily including partridges and turkey. The home is warm and charming and accommodated my family well. We appreciated the well equipped kitchen and loved the new grill and patio furniture. Unfortunately, the temperatures this trip didn't allow us to use the pool much, however we made up for it using the outdoor fire place in the evening to do some amazing star gazing. We even got to see the milky way and watch a phenomenal meteor shower one evening. We are grateful to the owner who makes this house available through the vacation rental program and look forward to returning again in the future. We also appreciate the wonderful service provided by the Property Manager, Bob.

Loved the view!!!
All rooms were clean and spacious for the 7 of us staying here. Really like the view from the lanai. Grateful for the 'start up' supplies to begin our stay.
Loved the view!!
Very peaceful and quiet. All appliances and utilities functioning well. It took a long time for the hot water to get to the back bathroom, conservation of water difficult at times.
Nice to be in a beautiful and safe community.
Very nice interior architecture and the grounds are well maintained.
Loved the view.

Rustic charm and beautiful breezes
My husband and I just finished a 2 week stay at this property in March. We really enjoyed the home and its location which offered peace, tranquility, and comfortable temperatures at a higher elevation in the Meadows section of Kohala Ranch. The home was nicely equipped and we loved the decor. Both the owner and property manager were wonderful to work with and we look forward to staying here again soon.

A wonderful stay on the Big Island
This was a lovely, well equipped home, at a great elevation for both view and temperature. The large acreage lots make this area seem rural, yet very peaceful. A beautiful location with moderate temperatures for those that get uncomfortable at sea level, January temperatures were mid 70's during the day and mid to high 60's at night. No need for heating or cooling. It felt great while it was cool and very wet in California. This home has a large kitchen and great room and a separate master bedroom wing. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

A lovely time at a wonderful place!
This is a special place in a spectacular location. The sweeping views from Maui to the Kona coast are amazing. Watching the cattle graze as we had our morning coffee on the lanai was a great way to start our days at Kohala Ranch. The house is more than just comfortable. It has that feeling that it's well loved and lived in which can't be faked. The house is very well equipped and provides a welcome sanctuary from the normal hustle and bustle at the resorts. I would highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat in a remarkable environment. We spent 15 days and will probably stay longer next time. Thanks Joe!

Great House in Private Location
This is a beautifully designed house in a very private setting in a gated community. The house is very well equipped and furnished. The pool is perfect to cool off and was a big hit with our kids. It takes about 15 minutes to drive to the nearest beaches, which are very good.

If you are looking for a quiet, big, clean, fully equipped house, lots of room, nice pool, stars at night, no close neighbours, great caretaker who attends to detail, great owner who helps with anything you want ~ this is your house!
