Beautiful place with great amenities! Easy and friendly hosts with a cool garden area that felt like our own. The chickens were fun to have around too, would stay again.
Max was a very accommodating and friendly host. He responded to our questions and answered them in a timely manner. The suite was very clean and the bed extremely comfortable. The backyard was peaceful, serene and restful place to sit and relax.
Loved staying here! The host was very responsive and helpful. It was extremely clean and the yard was so nice to sit and just listen the the breeze! Would highly recommend!
Tthis is a wonderful ohana in Waikoloa Village. The village is centrally located and is only 20 minutes away from resorts, Kawaihae Harbor, and Waimea. The apartment is well-equipped, comfortable, and private. The property is beautiful and Max is a fantastic host. Looking forward to the next chance to stay there!
Thanks,
Adolfo
I'm not sure the issues with this facility could be easily fixed. The problems are with location and a ceiling that's too low. I hit my head several times on the beam across the middle of the room. The facility was well maintained, clean, and quiet and all the typical amenities you would expect are available. At this price point I don't think I'd stay at this facility again.

Thank you for your review and for noting that the space was clean, quiet, well maintained, and stocked with the expected amenities.
We understand that the lower beam clearance was not a good fit for your stay. This is a feature of the home’s layout, and we do note it in the listing description so guests have an accurate understanding of the space before booking.
We appreciate your feedback and your stay with us.
Spacious, well appointed room attached to host’s home. Large open yard for guests only. Low ceiling caution for tall people ( didn’t impact our stay). Host very communicative. Nice neighborhood. Services-groceries, gas- available a couple miles away.
