About this property
Beautiful Views. Close to Beach + Close to Waimea Town.
This is a Hosted Property. Recently constructed and fully remodeled 700 square foot self-contained living space in a private, separate wing of the house. The bedroom and living areas are filled with light, looking out to gorgeous views of the three mountains - Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa and Hualalai. Enjoy the fully equipped kitchen, dining area, cozy reading nook in the living room, spacious bedroom with walk-in closet, brand new bathroom with walk-in shower, wireless internet and Smart TV (movies, tv shows and music channels). We recently installed A/C for those warmer summer months.
The teak bench in front of the cottage is a perfect place to sit and watch the clouds play over Mauna Kea. Out the back door off the kitchen, there is a new gas barbecue and table and chairs for dining or enjoying sunsets or the bright starry nights. There is also a storage chest full of beach chairs, boogie boards and snorkel gear for your use.
Our 3-acre property has a large house, recently remodeled to include the guest cottage at one end of the house. I live in a separate wing on the other end of the L-shaped home. The two living spaces are separated by a covered lanai with fencing and landscaping providing privacy for each dwelling.
I respect my guestsʻ privacy and enjoy my own. I am also happy to answer questions you may have to help you enjoy your stay on the island. I will be happy to steer you to my favorite restaurants, beaches, walking trails and island adventures.
We enjoy gardening and have planted fruit trees and many flowers that attract abundant bird life. I'm happy to share fruit that is ripe during your stay, including banana, lilikoʻi, mango, papaya, avocado, lemon and lime.
Situated on the 'dry side' of Waimea, we are half way between Kawaihae and Waimea town, ten minutes drive from both. The best beaches on the island are 10-15 minutes away.
Located at 1800 foot elevation, our days are most often sunny and warm with occasional island breezes. There are ceiling fans and air conditioning for additional cooling if needed. Temperatures cool down in the evening - perfect for a good nights sleep. Cardinals, doves, finches and other birds fill our quiet 3-acre property with song.

We had an amazing stay at Catrinka’s place! The house was clean, comfortable, and so peaceful. It had everything we needed and was a close drive to Waimea and to the beach. We loved waking up to the sound of birds every morning. Check-in and check-out were seamless. We would definitely stay again!
I have stayed in Waimea many times and this was the perfect property for my wife and I. The house and amenities were exactly as advertised, the host (Catrinka) was amazing - communicative, thoughtful, with great advice on local places to hear music amd snorkel. We had a perfect Christmas vacation thanks to her - will definitely be back!
Great host. Comfortable, clean, quiet unit with a great bed and everything we needed. Convenient, free parking. Close to Weimea. Just a perfect spot for us. We would highly recommend this property and will very likely be back here. I'd give it 6 stars if i could.
We stayed here for a week and really loved the place! Beautiful sunrise and sunset always filled with all kinds of different birds chattering. Highly recommend!

I'm happy you enjoyed your time here. It was a pleasure meeting you. Mahalo for leaving everything in such good condition. Come back when you can!
The location is primo: slightly west of Waimea town, so easy 12 minutes to the beach and providing a lovely climate. The property itself is well maintained and all comforts are provided at the rental. Catrinka is a wonderful, generous and informative host. The quiet of the place is fabulous, as is the view. Two thumbs up.
We had a lovely stay in this beautiful setting! The kitchen equipment is super well-stocked and the area is full of farmers markets which makes cooking a joy. Also very close to amazing Kohala beaches. Great base for exploring the north of the island. Catrinka could not be a more warm and friendly host!

It was a treat having you here. Thank you for being such gracious guests and for leaving everything so nicely. All the best to you both in the New Year!
Had a great stay in this lovely ohana on the sunny side of Waimea. It’s a great location, close to our favorite beaches and close to the grocery stores and restaurants in Waimea. Catrinka is a wonderful host.

Glad you could come be here for awhile in a more covid-safe environment than on the mainland. It was fun to see you adventuring to so many hiking spots and enjoying yourselves here. Aloha to you both!
Relaxing and quiet with a stunning view of snow-capped Mauna Kea. Catrinka is an excellent hostess who made sure we had everything we needed, and more. The location was perfect for all of our needs with the proximity to Waimea & Spencer Beach! We loved our relaxing, 2 week home away from home.

You were wonderful guests. Thank you for leaving everything so beautifully. It was my pleasure having you here. Please do consider this your home away from home.
Spectacular location and home for exploring Kohala!
Catrinka thought of everything in preparing her home for guests. Well-stocked with quality supplies, well laid out for convenience, beautifully landscaped with a superb view of Mauna Kea, we couldn't have enjoyed it more!!
We enjoyed this cottage a lot. Being away from cities but close to all we want is perfect. Very clean and had everything we needed to be comfortable. Catrinka is a wonderful host.

You described what I enjoy about living here. I love the rural peaceful feeling with gorgeous views combined with the easy ten minute drive to town in one direction and fifteen minutes down to my favorite beaches in the other direction. Glad you could relax and enjoy your vacation here. Aloha 🌺
Lovely unit in spectacular setting filled with Aloha
Thoughtfully appointed by the caring host, comfortable and peaceful. Ever-changing views of Mauna Kea is a true Big Island experience. We are looking forward to a return visit.
We enjoyed 5 nights at this lovely home. It was immaculate. The view was wonderful and it was very quiet. The location allows you to visit all things on the North end is the island quite easily.

About the host
Hosted by Catrinka Holland
After living in the Sierra Nevada for 30 years, we came to Hawaiʻi in 2007.
Why they chose this property
We love the quick and easy access to both town and beach. This is our favorite climate zone with warm sunny days and cooler nights. We looked for five years to find just the right place - 3 acres on a quiet street with expansive views out to three mountains, and space and sun to grow mangos, papayas, bananas, avocados and lilikoʻi. We love the community of Waimea and the great snorkeling beaches just down the road.
