I rented it for the views in the picture, and it did not disappoint. We are small town people who live in the country with livestock of our own, to have the backyard view that it does was absolutely beautiful to us, it’s a short drive to anything you want to see, beaches or mountains. The home is beautiful and well put together and very clean..
It has everything you need for a short to long-term day. Communication was absolutely excellent even when I had to ask a few stupid questions, she got right back to me.
The neighborhood was perfect, little kids playing on their go karts families hanging out watching the game on Thanksgiving, it was like driving home in the afternoons.
It felt like you moved right in, not rented a place for a few days.

Wee loved looking over the pasture at the cows while drinking our coffee in the morning. Sweet house and very clean. The king size bed was extremely comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet.

We had an incredible stay in Waimea! The house was wonderfully cozy and comfortable, making it feel like a home away from home. We particularly appreciated the thoughtful inclusion of beach equipment, which made our trips to the shore even more enjoyable. We’d definitely stay here again – it was the perfect retreat! Mahalo!

The house was immaculate with everything you could think of and more. It was the perfect size for us and so very cozy, especially with the fireplace. I loved the peace and quiet and the overall setting was beautiful with the deck overlooking the pasture. I would stay here again and would recommend it to others. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

The house is awesome. Wonderful neighborhood, dead end street. We felt safe & comfortable. House is stocked with anything you may need for cooking, beach, restaurant & activity referrals. Beds and linens were very comfortable.
The fireplace was much appreciated early mornings & evening.
The view of the pasture from the lanai is breathtaking!
We would definitely stay again.

Great place to stay and get an experience of the area. The home is cute and comfortable has a great lanai with a view of the pastures and old growth trees and a quiet neighborhood. Who would ever think that a fireplace actually might be used in Hawaii but we enjoyed it so much.

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.

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!!

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!

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…

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.

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.

JoAnn was very responsive from the moment we started the booking process. The home was perfect and had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. It was a wonderful holiday with yummy welcome treats there for us upon our arrival. Neighbor is very welcome and friendly. We even received a present on Christmas morning on the front porch from one of the neighbors. Highly recommend this house. It is really a great launching location for touring any part of this beautiful island. Mahalo!

The house was clean and tidy on arrival and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. We used the fireplace just about every evening, as it was very chilly (thanks for advice on bringing house slippers/warm socks, as the ceramic tile floors were absolutely freezing). There was an odd smell (maybe due to moisture problems in the past or an issue with the cesspool?), and the air fresheners in every room helped somewhat with that.
Mahalo nui.

I guess I should have looked at the description better because I wasn't expecting a residential house with a pasture behind it. It was very small with limited seating in the living room. It is great if you want something close to town.
