Kim and Jamesâs cottage was the perfect home base for exploring Big Islandâs trails and beaches. Waking up to breakfast with an ocean view and the Pacific breeze was a highlight. The place was spotless, nearly insect-free, and stayed cool enough without AC. Itâs ideal for two or three people. The kitchen is simple but has everything you need to cook your own meals, and there are plenty of nearby spots with great local food. James welcomed us personally and was always ready to help, which made us feel truly cared for. Kimâs artwork in the house adds a lovely personal touch. Thank you both for sharing your beautiful place.
We loved the view from the deck and the outdoor kitchen on the deck. The view was amazing as was the sunrise's. We spent our first day just relaxing on the property and cooking at the cottage. Jim and Kim have created a fantastic Hawaiian getaway with lovely art.
Property overlooks the ocean and the wooded area and fields below. The owners are friendly and want to assist how ever they can to make sure the stay is comfortable. I will definitely be booking with them again.
This property was delightful. Our hosts Jim and Kim were friendly and right next door if needed. The little house is neat, tidy and decorated with great bohemian thought and original artwork. The yard is manicured and beautiful. Our favorite part of this stay was the evening concert of animals winding down for the night. We loved sitting at the outdoor kitchen table listening to the world quiet down as we watched the ocean at sunset. We will definitely go back.
Awesome views, peaceful, quiet and close to our favorite State Park, Waimea, and on the Hamakua Coast. Our Lanai had a great view with two outdoor tables and was covered. There was a relaxing outdoor patio as well. The kitchen was complete and the bed was comfortable. We will be back again. Mahalo, Jim and Kim
Wonderful stay at Jim and Kimâs lovely rental the view and the sounds from the Lanai are our favourite place. Landscaping is beautifully done and spacious unit has everything you need. Look forward to our next stay thank you both! Aloha!
Lovely cottage separate from the owners house but on the same lot. Great views of the ocean and sunrise.
Well equipped kitchenette for self-catering as there are not many restaurants near by, however there is a grocery store in the next town over.
Nice to hear the frogs at night, was very soothlng.
Morning will bring sounds of cockerels so if you're a light sleeper bring earplugs.
There is a fairly soft double mattress and a say bed, making this a perfect getaway for a couple.
Absolutely stunning views of the ocean. The landscape was amazing! Waking up every morning, drinking coffee on the lanai, listening to all kinds of birds and animals. We couldnât have asked for a better experience. A screen door into the home would have been nice to keep bugs from flying inside in the evening.
This is a very nice spot, with a serene view to the ocean over a herd of grazing cattle.
The cottage is also unique with most everything you need to make meals and relax. The bath is nice as well with a large shower.
The day bed (single) is a firm foam mattress and quite comfortable.. Alas, the double bed is worn and most uncomfortable. I'm sure that the owners have scheduled a replacement of the bed and upgrading it to a queen.
We would very definitely stay here again.
We loved this place. It was very quiet and relaxing. It had incredible views of the ocean. We really liked sitting outside on the lanei in the evenings. The property was in a great location and it was just a short drive to some really awesome beaches.
Property is as described. Jim and Kim were the perfect hosts. They had lots of information about things to do on the Big Island. This was a perfect spot to relax and plan all your explorations. Words can't describe how truly peaceful and beautiful this property is.
If you like to be away from all the tourists and enjoy nature as it should be, this is the perfect cottage. Kim and Jim have an awesome place with a great ocean view, and are the perfect hosts. They overcooked no details, and provided us with an amazing stay. Thank you so much for sharing your slice of paradise with Kelly and me.
