A nice hillside hideaway from the hustle and bustle of Big Island

A lovely quiet gem of a cottage on the hills over Waimea. We enjoyed the breezes, outdoor balcony and cosy cottage offerings. Big thanks to Captain Jay for sharing his cottage with us! We would definitely love to stay again when in the area.

Fantastic Place to Stay

We stayed in this property for 15 days and it was one of the best places we’ve stayed in during a vacation. The view is amazing and the place feels very cozy and homey. We will definitely stay here again in the future and we highly recommend it for people who like private settings.

Charming hilltop cabin

The cabin was in a great location and was beautifully decorated. We loved sitting out on the deck in the morning, having our coffee, birdwatching, and enjoying the view.

About the host

Hosted by Jay Chavez

Captain Jay Chavez is a retired ship's Captain, pictured here with wife Diane off the Island of Kauai on the NCL Cruise Ship Pride of Aloha, he commanded prior to retirement. Jay and Diane are long time residents of the Big Island and have raised two Sons in Waimea. The Big Island is a great place to enjoy the outdoors.

Why they chose this property

The peaceful location in the center of town offers so many advantages. The location is perfect for long walks, convenience to shops and restaurants and has a relaxing vibe.

What makes this property unique

Waimea has a lot of micro climates and the dry side of Waimea is often desired. It frequently rains daily which keeps the hillsides green but there is a magical quality about watching the sky at night when the sun sets. We fell in love with this unique cottage. The owners live on property in the main house.
