Had a great visit to the Big Island and staying at this property made it all that much more enjoyable. Location is convenient for traveling to all parts of the island to see the many sights the island offets. Views and amenities were all as represented in the listing. I definitely would recommend staying here and if I do return again next year to Kona, I would stay here again.

We spent 6 days in the house, and it was wonderful! We love the location, the quiet neighborhood and the house itself. Lisa and Simon are very friendly and caring people. We definitely be back!

This is an amazing house in a very convenient spot on the Kohala Coast. It is just a short drive to many great beaches and fun places to explore. At the end of the day get to retreat well stocked, classic Hawaiian style home with a 360 degree porch and views in every direction. Great place to watch the sun sink in to the Pacific and the stars some out. Hosts are great. They are there if you need them but give you total privacy otherwise. Highly recommend.

Such a spectacular place. The bird song, lanai, view of the ocean and the peaceful, spaciousness of the home make it a wonderful place to stay.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this home. The views were stunning and the setting was charming. The property was clean and well looked after, the rooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. The location was perfect for exploring, snorkeling and beach going. The rural setting was away from the tourist area and the sounds of birds were amazing to listen to on the beautiful lani. The owners responded quickly to any requests and gave us lots of good local recommendations. The goats were adorable, and the owner alowed us to feed them. We would love to stay here again.

Mom and I had a great day for the week. It was close enough to do things yet comfortable to do nothing and sit on the lanai.

We enjoyed our experience at the rental. The owner was extremely friendly and available. The views from the veranda were exceptional. Would highly recommend this rental.

All perfect

A perfectly relaxing stay. Very comfortable home. If you want a beautiful place with stunning ocean views and trade winds, stay here. We had a wonderful time.

We had the best time staying here. Amazing views of all of the mountains & amazing ocean views too and the stars at night! Super clean. Had everything we needed. Super quiet. Bed was comfy. Perfect for 1 or 2 couples or a family of 3 or 4. The lanai was our favorite place- had some nice meals and a couple naps. Location felt remote but not far from beaches, resort area and Waimea & Hawi towns not too far. I do recommend grocery shopping before you get there, as the grocery stores in Kona will have everything you need and are a little far once you are there. Would stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay at this great hidden gem. We’ve stayed all over the island and we’re very impressed with this place. The location is remote but wonderful It’s so peaceful and the views are amazing. We will definitely come back again!

We wanted to get away and just be together. A busy family with teens, escaping to Hawaii. We enjoy being outdoors and wanted a place that would be a comfortable home base for seeing everything the Big Island has to offer! This fit the bill! The house and views are perfect. So much so, a couple of evenings we headed back early to just relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. The goats are super friendly and the beds are very comfortable. No issues, whatsoever!! Thank you for sharing this space with us!! Oh, and we all enjoyed the geckos!!

Amazing, Beautiful. Comfortable. Everything you need!

This property was definitely one of the more unique places I’ve stayed at. Loved being away from the craziness of the tourist areas, while still being decently close to Kona. Was worried about not having AC but when we were there, having the windows open and the fans on made staying and sleeping there a comfortable experience even on 70-80° days. I was hoping for a little more solidarity from the property, but experienced construction noise from the next door neighbors as well as big construction equipment from the view of the deck towards the ocean. This is probably temporary and might not affect others, but was worth noting. Otherwise it was a great place to stay with lots of room and nice spaces to relax on the deck or in the house. Oh and the goats were a great little addition to go out and say hi to!

We picked this property for the views and they did not disappoint! Stars and planets like we've never been able to see before in the early morning hours, and breathtaking sunsets each night. Easy access to kid-friendly beach parks, the Pololu Valley Lookout, and the ruins of an old fishing village. We enjoyed feeding the goats a few snacks, and we had a delicious meal for ourselves from Kohala Burger and Taco just down the hill, as well as a return trip for some shaved ice and ice cream another day. The best part - lounging on the deck with a cool breeze!

Nice quiet spot to watch sunsets on deck. Goats to feed was an unexpected plus!

We stayed for 6 weeks at the end of 2021 and thoroughly enjoyed our time at Lisa and Symon's place. The house was clean and well equipped to meet our needs. There's plenty to do nearby, but our favorite activity was sitting out on the deck watching the cargo boats come in every morning, the whales playing in the afternoon surf and the marvelous sunsets in the evening. Symon came by most days to feed the goats and check to make sure if we needed anything. Five stars!

Beautiful sunsets, quiet neighborhood, lovely setting and house. The hosts were very helpful with any questions we had. We had a great time.

Kohala Estates is a favorite vacation rental area for us and this property did not disappoint! The view is completely open to the coast as the elevation and open land below eliminates any structures in the way. The outdoor deck is more than spacious enough for sunset viewing, grilling, kicking back, and visiting. The goat herd (of 3) provides twice daily entertainment at the feeding boxes. The house is perfect for one or two couples, or a small family. Everything that you need to begin your stay is provided. The communications from Symon and Lisa were the quickest we’ve ever experienced from 15+ years of rentals. And we had the additional pleasure of visiting with Symon in person during goat feeding. Enjoying his company made us wish that we could have also met Lisa. They are doing a great job of hosting their guests. The wraparound deck provides seating on two sides so that both the sunrises and sunsets can be fully enjoyed. We were completely comfortable and felt right at home during our stay. We would rent this home again in a heartbeat. Thank you Symon and Lisa for providing the basis for a wonderful two weeks!

Excellent location and property

Sunrise from the kitchen, sunset from the deck. And the quiet! Perfect.

We were in desperate need of a quiet getaway to clear our minds and charge our batteries. This was perfect. The house is set up on the hill a few miles from Kawaihae, open and airy, with a fantastic view of the ocean and sunset. The sunsets! Incredible. There is a wonderful lanai out back with the best views of both the ocean and sunset. We often did our morning exercises out there; honestly we spent the majority of our time there. The wraparound deck was great for doing hourly laps to keep the Fitbit happy. The south side had beautiful views to the mountains and Waikoloa. Not as tantalizing as the view of the ocean and sunset, but a great view nonetheless. The house itself had everything needed for a long stay (we were there for a month). Plenty of supplies in the kitchen and linens to spare. Oh! And a great grill on the lanai; that's where we cooked the majority of our meals. Lisa and Symon were great hosts. We had an almost daily chat with Symon as he came to feed the goats. When we go to Hawaii again, this will be our "go to" spot. No need for us to look further! Thank you Lisa and Symon!

Such a unique gem, very comfortable with nice ambience and lot's of light. It was nice to watch the sunsets and the goats gazing in the morning. Outside of the resorts which for us was a huge plus

We had a great stay at this property this past week (9/21). The unit was very clean and nicely maintained. The deck overlooks the 800 ft hill you climb to get there and has beautiful ocean views. The sunsets each night were spectacular and we could see the Milky Way when the night skies were clear. It felt very private and the owners have some nice amenities, like beach chairs, mosquito repellent, etc. Overall, we would highly recommend staying here and would love to return some day.

Lovely place, attentive hosts, wonderful neighbors. The title tells you what you’ll get. Some fine points: 1) This house is best for 4 people due to the idiosyncrasies of the design. 2) It’s one of the warmest, driest parts of the island so the place can get pretty toasty in the afternoon. 3) For better or worse, it’s pretty isolated. There’s a little market and a gas station nearby but your nearest groceries are in Waimea, a >20-mile round trip. Plan accordingly. If you and some mature, quiet guests want to get out of the Kailua-Kona rut and explore the north side of the Big Island, this place is a winner!

We had two couples in town for a wedding and there was plenty of room for everyone to have their privacy and good space to gather. A bit hot inside during the day but the lanai was comfortable and cool for hanging out. Close to beaches as well!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The location is perfect if you want to be away from it all....and the goats are so entertaining :) The view and sunsets from the patio are mesmerizing and the house is well stocked for living home away from home...lots of towels! The only minor downside was the lizards that get inside the home and can be quite noisy in the early morning hours. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for the hospitality Lisa and Symon! :)

We absolutely loved staying here. Perfect size for our family and easy access to everything.

Great house with stunning ocean views. Ceiling fans in every room kept us nice and cool. Washer/dryer were a nice bonus. Very quiet neighborhood
