Linda is a very enthusiastic and welcoming host. She was at the main road waiting to greet us and show us around her lovely property.We enjoyed the sunsets, amazing stars, and the company of OB, the cast host.Kitchen was well equipped and even had coffee beans and pantry supplies for cooking and fresh fruit provided.Linda composts, recycles, and uses “clean” products in both kitchen and bath, which we appreciate.If you want to be away from the fray and decompress, this is your place. No businesses nearby, however Captain Cook is not too far. Great farmer’s market there on Sundays.

Host was very welcoming, made us fresh juices. Well stocked with amenities.Didn’t realize it was open air concept (no windows only screens) did not see this mentioned in any description of the site. We had both been sick and having the temperature 62 degrees some mornings with everything damp was not pleasurable.The grounds are gorgeous and fruit trees abundant.

They were both sick when they arrived, so didn't get sick here. It is only the kitchen area and meditation room in the main house that is screen, the rest has windows. Mahalo Linda

This place is a respite of peace and tranquility! It’s close to highway and has an amazing view of ocean! Our host was A in communication, kindness and helpful with the local area! She invited us to take advantage of many beach toys and items which made our beach trips even more comfortable! And the fresh fruit right outside our door was an unexpected but beautiful treat everyday!!!

I can’t say enough about our stay at Hale Meow Meow. Not only is it in a beautiful garden setting but also has a gorgeous view of the sunset over the ocean. Linda is an incredible host and made us feel extremely welcome. When I come back to the Big Isle, I will definitely be staying here.

Quaint Accommodations Surrounded by Beautiful Gardens

Great place to stay to get a true Hawaiian experience. Linda was a great host, very helpful. The fresh fruit from Linda's gardens was delicious. Ask Linda for a tour of the garden if you get a chance. She takes great pride in it and loves to show people around.

My favorite stay!

Yes, my FAVORITE!! This place truly is an oasis. It is perfectly located directly off the main road but tucked away down a beautifully bumpy and overgrown driveway, the moment you get there you will be in aw. The vegetation, the house, the outdoor tub, the garden, fruit trees everywhere, color everywhere, the happiest place I have ever experienced! I couldnt find a single complaint about this place. I will never stay anywhere else on the big island!

Tropical vacation getaway!

This property was the ultimate tropical vacation getaway. It was a secluded property that was packed with fruit trees, a beautiful garden and great amenities!

About the host

Hosted by Linda Grimes

Host profile image
My parents met and got married on Oahu in the mid 1940s. My mother was a pilot and mechanic at Hickam Field. They moved to Georgia and I grew up there. I bought this land with my sister and mother and moved to Hawaii. I have spent much of my life traveling the world and now my sister has moved and i stayed and i am a jewelry designer. I still travel to Asia a lot searching for treasures for my jewelry, and have started this vacation home and the farming. I love plants and animals so this life has been great.

Why they chose this property

When I first saw this property it was nothing but a thing called christmas berry but I knew it was where I should be. It was a long slow process turning it into what it is today, but worth every bit of it. Now, I just love being here.
