Studio with a nice view and super nice host

Very nice host, warm and welcoming. We stayed 3 nights. Overall a good value and a relaxing place to stay. Reliable internet, comfortable bed, clean bathroom. Appreciated that they brought us a fruit plate of delicious mango/banana from their property.My only disappointment were the swarms of mosquitoes, and I had misunderstood that it was a free-standing studio cottage; it’s a downstairs studio below their main home. But overall we had a nice stay!

A little family of birds woke us up every morning as the sun came up. I learned they were Java finches! I sat and had coffee every morning with my Java birds.

Price Performer

Definitely a price performer! Located on a hillside away from the touristed areas with nice views. Loved hearing the myriads of birds singing in the mornings. Nice spots outside to relax and unwind. Really appreciated the fresh fruit as well!Is a bit hard to find the driveway after dark, although iPhone with Goggle Maps did just fine. 40 min. drive from the airport; 20 min. drive to Island Gourmet Markets at The Queen's Marketplace (good place for groceries and much more).Could use some sprucing up...

N. Hawaii views and birds

From your breakfast table far up from the north coast, you can watch and hear birds and see a vast expanse of ocean, sky and the Kona coast. At dinner enjoy fabulous sunsets. Hosts are most welcoming and have some yummy fruit treats too. We had a most enjoyable second stay and hope to return!

Quiet Studio

Perfect studio for our low key stay. Garden is lovely. Quiet neighborhood. Place is clean with basic kitchen items. The welcome basket was well stocked. And several times throughout our stay we had fresh fruiting waiting for us in the morning. Great views of ocean. Nice breeze. Great location. If it rains expect some mosquitos but our hosts had plenty of options to help deter them. Would definetly stay again.

Heaven!

We enjoyed three nights here after being warmly greeted by our hosts. Slept well each night after watching the sunsets and gazing at a sky full of stars. Mornings were for sunrises and coffee on the lanai. Mitsuko sent us off with a lovely fresh fruit plate and even snacks for the plane. Very thoughtful hosts and a lovely home/garden. I would love to stay again!

Quiet oasis

Curt and Mitsuko's place is a slice of heaven. The view is spectacular, and the songs of the birds and other wildlife in the morning is wonderful. Curt and Mitsuko are even better hosts, they gave us some local suggestions and treated us with a fresh fruit plate from their garden. Waimea and Hapuna are excellent nearby activities, we would absolutely stay here in the future!

Hidden Gem

The magical nature of this property cannot be overstated. The single room opens on two sides with sliding glass doors to a corner porch that offers a 130 degree panorama of the Pacific from a hillside vantage point in Kohala. Sleeping was magical with the doors open, stunning stars, and bird sounds as the dawn broke. It was a joy to meet our hosts, and we greatly appreciated the morning treat of cut mango and blueberries in the refrigerator. There is a wonderful tiki seafood bar for lunch and dinner in nearby Kawaihae. We hope to return.

Thank you Mitsuko!

First off, warnings…do not stay here if you’re expecting a lux experience, and be prepared for whatever the island throws at you. We came after a massive rain, and there was a cloud of mosquitoes chilling on the lanai. It did limit our ability to take advantage of the outdoor space. The accommodations are basic so you get to be creative with your cooking, but it’s all manageable. Now the goods…this place is far more like the air b n b’s of old, with an absolutely personable and responsive host and a quirky charm unique only to it. It’s a FABULOUS place and an absolutely great location for exploring the north Kohala coast. Come prepared to enjoy a remote and secluded spot for watching the flora and fauna of the big island!

Location is in a very peaceful area with amazing views of the ocean, coastline and Mauna Kea. You need to figure out food options as it is remote but there was plenty of coffee and tea options in the room. A ceiling would be a benefit but the standing fan and air conditioner eventually cooled the room. The owners were very kind and helpful. Definitely recommended.
