Enjoyed our time at the ranch! This is a beautiful place to stay when visiting paradise! All our needs were taken care of and accommodations were fantastic! Nice to have such a wonderful home base to return to after a day of exploring.

We booked our stay in Kailua-Kona on very short notice and were so fortunate to get this place! We stayed ten days there and we cannot say enough good things about the cottage, or the owners Rick and Amy!! They made us feel so much at home it was hard to leave! Their place is just superb, thanks so much for everything you two! We look forward to coming again next year! Pat and Shelly 😊😊

We had a wonderful week here. The accommodations were spacious and well appointed. We especially enjoyed the porch and hot tub. The beach equipment (chairs, umbrellas, towels, flippers) was an added bonus. The cottage was a very calming place to return to in the evening after a day of exploring. It felt very safe and the variety of birds on the property were a delight to listen to. Amy and Rick were very welcoming and eager to share local knowledge. We would love to return some day!

We ended up booking Amy and Rick's place just 3 days before traveling due to a very late cancelation from a Condon in Kona. This was a spacious well appointed 1 bed room 1 bath on the property on the Amy and Rick's. Green, cool evenings just a beautiful property. Amy and Rick were wonderful host and very accommodating. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Amy and Rick are wonderful hosts and will treat you like family. They will make sure that you have everything you need and are there to answer all your questions and give you local advice. The cottage was exactly as advertised, very spacious with all the amenities one needs while on vacation. During our stay, their chickens were active and so they gave us fresh eggs from the coop. Rick even took us on an excursion to the most beautiful beach, Makalawena, which we would not have been able to reach as we did not rent a 4 wheel drive vehicle. The weather was perfect and the water was of the most stunning blues...it was better than a postcard come to life. Thanks, Amy and Rick for all your kindness.

The pre arrival instructions were clear and easy to follow. The guest cottage is appointed for comfort. Everything we needed was available for our visit. The laundry facilities were always clean and well stocked. The kitchen has everything we needed to prepare quick or elaborate meals depending on our mood. The location of the Ranch is ideal for getting around. High enough on the hill to have georgeous views of the coast and incredible sunsets but not so high that it was in the rain band. The hot tub was so relaxing at the end of the day! Rick’s photographs of the island are amazing.! The knowledge he and Amy have of where to go and things to see was condensed into one binder that was so useful. We enjoyed the other Hawaii guides but for a succinct explanation the binder could not be beat! Their opinion of places to eat and things to see was right on. We loved our Big Island stay. Mahalo Rick and Amy!

'The tradition of welcoming guests and travelers with food and water is a literal description of ho’okipa.' The owners, Rick and Amy, were a full of Hawaiian hospitality and made us feel like we were special guests.My wife and I stayed at the Ranch Cottage for six nights and we loved it. The place was well stocked with kitchen & bath supplies, beach towels, beach chairs, snorkeling gears, mats, and coolers. There is a hot tub on the lanai. We gazed at the stars every night while soaking in the tub. The night sky was dark and the stars were so bright; and since The Big Island houses Mauna Kea Observatories, the faint streetlights we saw far away in the distance are more astronomer friendly.

We really enjoyed our stay the cottage was perfect had everything we needed, the setting was perfect the Host's were really enjoyable.The location was perfect because the elevation around 1400' cooling off at night no need for airconditioning and the upper Hwy. allows for easy access to down town or going north(waimea, beaches etc.)A big Mahalo to Amy and Rick
