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.

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

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.

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.

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 couldn’t 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 was an amazing place to stay and the owner who lives next door is super friendly and helpful and was a pleasure to meet. And the location has an amazing ocean view. Just lovely all around.

Jim and Kim have a lovely little cottage on the coast! We had a very relaxing stay and enjoyed listening to the cows and the frogs on the lanai each night. The landscaping was stunning! As newlyweds, we wished it was a bit more secluded from the main house.

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.

We explored the areas surrounding Honokaa and enjoyed settling in after our days adventures. Hosts were wonderful, location memorable, and the grounds were beautiful and peaceful. We enjoyed experiencing the indoor / outdoor living so much a part of many Hawaiian homes.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The lanai was a great spot to watch the sunrise, eat breakfast, and appreciate nature. Jim showed us around and was available if we needed anything. Truly a gorgeous spot with all the things we needed to cook meals and relax! The cows, geckos, and rainbows made it extra special.
