Charming Waimea home on the Big Island- Close To Town!

Your “home away from home” to a very charming 2 bedroom, 1 full bath home with lots of natural light located in beautiful Waimea. Our home has tile and bamboo flooring and a JOTUL gas fireplace in the open living room to keep you warm on those cool Waimea evenings. The master bedroom and second bedroom are generous in size with good closet space. Our home is surrounded by lush private landscape with fruit trees and flowering plants - lemon, apple, bananas, loquat, night blooming jasmine, ginger and bamboo and pasture land in the backyard where you can watch the cows graze. Enjoy the beautiful sunset and pasture views from the large covered deck located immediately off the kitchen, a quiet and relaxing spot to enjoy a hot cup of coffee in the morning or a nice glass of wine at sunset.

The kitchen and pantry offer lots of space for food storage and the home comes with a stackable washer and dryer. The one-car carport is easily accessible with a driveway. The climate in Waimea is perfect; cool mornings and evenings, occasional afternoon misty rains and beautiful sunny days! Enjoy the quiet evenings, the beautiful countryside and lush surroundings in a private and tranquil setting. You will find peace, serenity and plenty of comfort and space to call home while you are on vacation yet still just minutes from the historic and convenient town of Waimea. The town center offers many fine and unique shops, art galleries, farmer's markets and excellent casual and fine dining options. Explore everything the Big Island has to offer from the stars and planets at the Mauna Kea Observatory to the best beaches and golfing on the island.

So come and 'get away', unwind and relax in our warm and inviting home- so much so that you will want to return! We have spared no effort to make your stay as comfortable, memorable and welcoming as possible and look forward to sharing our Aloha with you.

And absolutely elegant place to stay and elegant place to stay
This place turned out to be a real gem. Located in a residential area just outside Weimia on the Big Island, it was the perfect place to explore the entire Island. It was easy to get to everywhere even Southpoint. The furnishings were excellent and the host supplied practically everything you would need other than your food and toiletries. Very spacious rooms with large beds. If there was any complaint it would be the internet was very slow - but adequate for our needs. Also cell service was pretty spotty, but probably depended upon what carrier you were using. But all of that is somewhat expected except for the large urban areas in Hawaii. Nothing to host could have done about it anyway. We would recommend this rental should you be looking for a centralized location that is practically located to All Points of interest for an extended stay. We had stayed previously in a condo in Kailua Kona and other times in Hilo and traveling to the other side of the island or down south you would be pressed for time in a day. Staying in Waimea there was plenty of daylight even a Trek to South Point.

Lovely home for 2 couples. Both beds were very comfortable. Unfortunately the view from the deck toward the mountains is hindered by the bamboo. We really appreciated using the cooler and beach items.

Perfect family home
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.

A Perfect Place to Relax and Unwind
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.

Waimea Fabulous!
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.

A change of pace
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 place for a stay on the Big Island
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.

Waimea stay feedback
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.
