I highly recommend the house-both the property itself and Waimea. It is a calm, beautiful spot to wake in the morning and close distance to grocery stores, restaurants, etc. We stayed three nights and were very happy.

We have been lucky enough to stay on the Big Island 10+ times over the years and this was our first time staying in Waimea. We really enjoyed the cooler evenings and never having to worry about air conditioning. The unit was clean and had everything we needed for cooking. The bed was more comfortable than I usually expect to find in a rental. Communication and check in all went smoothly. There are several farmers markets during the week where you can pick up fresh baked good, produce and grab a bite at a food truck. The only thing to consider is that you are further away from the beaches compared to staying on the coast. For the price I thought it was a really good value. Overall we had a great stay and enjoyed our time seeing a different side of Hawaii.

Perfect home for a stay on the big island. Everything you could need is there. Great backyard with fruit trees. Quiet cooler nights. We enjoyed being by the ocean at Hapuna Beach during the day and quiet relaxing at the house during the nights. The owners and maintenance are very responsive. I highly recommend this home. We will be back again.

Nice, clean and efficient 2 bed, 1 bath house. Host was quick to communicate. Neighborhood was quite and close to Waimea.

Everything worked perfectly. We really enjoyed our stay!

It is a nice cozy little house in the heart of a Hawaiian countryside. Quite pleasant patio. Great backyard with many fruit trees and a bamboo wall separating the house from neighbors. Wish we could plant a bamboo wall in our backyard as well. The neighborhood is quiet and cozy. The house is a little old but very clean and it is newly renovated. The kitchen has everything that it needs. The mattresses were soft and nice to sleep on. The only minus that we saw was the lack of beach equipment, which is explainable because most people staying here are not people that go to the beach. The house isn't too far from Hilo. Overall it is very comfortable and big enough for a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 kids.

This is the fourth time we stayed at this amazing hale. JoAnn is a wonderful host and communication is fast, friendly and super accommodating. I highly recommend this property to anyone. It’s such a convenient location to everything on the island. And everything you could need is right in town. Mahalo JoAnn for another great stay. See you again soon!!

Very comfortable house! I recommend a stay here.

Great place. Very comfortable. Sweet dog next door…likes to say hello! Very nice neighborhood!

Perfect for us. Quiet secluded neighborhood. Resort party areas are not for us.

Very homey, all basic needs considered for a comfortable stay, with good sleeping, cooking, washing facilities, locally themed interior decoration, and lots of extras like DVDs and games for recreation

highly recommend staying here.. quiet little neighborhood, the house is fully equipped and JoAnn is an amazing host. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience

Perfect, beautiful inside and out, with a lovely lanai (deck) with table & 6 chairs. Cute, clean and cozy inside. The gas fireplace/stove would not turn on, but it was warm enough each morning without it. Peaceful and super comfortable!

Loved it, definitely coming back

It was easy and painless. JoAnn provided all of the the necessary information and instructions. Hopefully, the property will be available on our next visit.

The house is so comfortable, I felt at home right away. Not far from a main road, easy access to town. I spent every morning and evening out on the back patio-very relaxing. I did a lot of my own cooking and the kitchen is very, very well-stocked. The home has so many cute accents. The host is super responsive. As mentioned in a previous review, the king size bed is soft. I didn’t check the other bed out. Nice washer and dryer, it’s a plus. Definitely recommend…

We loved staying in this house. It was a perfect get-away, stocked with everything we needed. It was very quiet and peaceful. We would love to come stay here again!

This was a great base to explore the east and west coasts. The house was very clean and had very nice antique furniture. Kitchen had everything you would need to cook meals. We couldn't figure out the gas fireplace when we got there, but Monique the property manager, came right over to show us. The back yard had a nice view and it was kinda cool being in a real neighborhood instead of a resort area. Highly recommend!

The property is as listed and a good value. Plenty of space for my family of 3. The communication and check in were very easy and clear. The view from the back lanai is a beautiful open space where cows roam. Keep in mind the property is on the "wet" side of Waimea so you will not get a lot of sunshine at the house. It's in a quiet neighborhood. If you prefer softer mattresses, you will be very happy with the beds. The shower/tub works well with plenty of hot water. However, the water pressure is quite low so it takes some time to manage washing longer hair. The kitchen is well equipped with all one could need for cooking. I appreciated the fridge having basic condiments as well. We enjoyed our stay.

We came to the Big Island of Hawai’i for a family memorial service and get together. Our family is from the Honoka’a and Pa’auilo areas so Kamuela was a great location to stay. And this home was perfect for getting a relaxing restful sleep after very busy family-filled days. The beds are comfortable and the views of the pastures behind the home are so peaceful. Although we did no food prep, we could see the kitchen was well appointed. We would definitely stay here again.

Pleasant experience. We’ll maintained home. It was very comfortable in a quiet neighborhood.

Charming home, all the amenities fully stocked, wonderful sunset views of pastoral cattle ~~ Peaceful Aloha Ohana ... Mahalo!!!

beautiful well appointed home in country like setting. peaceful comfortable homey place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of other options . 20 minutes from the best beaches the island has to offer. Mahalo!

This is our second time staying here. JoAnn was amazing. This hale is absolutely perfect. It has everything you need to feel right at home while your on the island. Great location easy to get everywhere. Town has everything you need. Highly recommend. Mahalo JoAnn. A hui hou!! Aloha- Mike & Vic

It was a very convenient, home away from home, to support telescope work for Keck. Also, a great experience for appreciation and respect to the Hawaiian culture

Close to family, quiet and comfortable.

Perfect home on a quiet road with tropical flowers in the yard and ranch land behind. A true Kamuela experience.

Property is beautiful, in a quaint and comfy neighborhood close but not too close to Waimea shops. Easy drives to Kahua Ranch, Waikoloa/Kona(around the wildfires). Property manager was helpful when we had unexpected occurrences.

Our family had a wonderful and very comfortable stay. All amenities came in handy as we cooked, washed our clothes and even borrowed the complementary beach towels. The home is located in a serene and safe neighborhood with very welcoming neighbors. The ceiling fans came in handy on those warm nights. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home.

This home is prefect and cozy. Very quiet street. Home was clean and JoAnn was great! Had minor issue w/ wifi-- needed reboot. JoAnn offered great support and communication. I'd definitely stay here again!

Good

This house was a perfect location for our stay. My parents live two streets away so it was the pest place for us during new years festivities. The house is beautiful and in a great neighborhood.
