Rachel's ohana is in a little pocket that, at least for the week we were there Jul/Aug, had a super temperate climate with occasional showers, the perfect humidity level, and near constant trades. It was like a magical little microclimate that's a lot sunnier than only 500' elevation higher up in Honoka'a (5min away), with a stunning ocean- and partial-gulch view. If you're an open-window-weather person, this is the place for you, and the neighborhood was very quiet. We adored that we couldn't hear planes or traffic--the only aircraft were the occasional helicopters on their way to/from Waipio tours. There was a fair bit of cloudiness at night while we were there, so we weren't able to stargaze often, but when it was clear, it was amazing (though, we had a weird sleep schedule, as we stayed on mainland time, so I don't know how clear it was during normal-nighttime-awake hours). I find the location to be primo if you want to do things all over the island--you're 40min to Kohala beaches, 20min to Waipio, 45min to Hilo, so it's super central. You can faintly hear the crashing waves in the distance (some times are louder than others), the house was super clean, and the pictures don't begin to do the property justice.
The bed (which I think is a CA king) was plenty comfy for both of us (even though we typically prefer different levels of softness). If you're really into cooking, you might find the kitchen lacking a few things, but it was perfectly adequate for our needs--and there's a dishwasher (score!! I feel like that's super hard to find unless you're renting a large, higher-end house,). The lanai is huge and has loungers, which we spent a LOT of time on and loved, while gazing out at ocean or simply having it in the background of what we were doing. We used the pool for a dip most days, which is fairly large and also has a full-on ocean view.
Rachel was extremely kind, accommodating, and generous. She seemed to really want to make sure we had everything we could need and was just so lovely to chat with when we ran into her.
We would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat and am grateful that Rachel makes it available!
