Great location!

This house was in a perfect location to easily access our two favorite beaches (hapuna and Mauna Kea). It was super clean, the kitchen has all new appliances, and the patio was great. The umbrella was broken when we arrived, but Georgine was quick to respond and brought us a new one. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect 10 Day Getaway!

Georgine’s property is nothing less than lovely. The bedrooms have comfy mattresses and great cotton sheets; the kitchen is well equipped; there’s a great selection of novels if you forget yours; and best of all a relaxing lanai where you can have a perfect happy hour and watch the sunset.

Wonderful stay at a beautiful home!

The house is very clean and updated. It had everything we needed and more. The communication with the host was easy. We loved that there was a pack and play in the home with bedding. Made for an easy sleep situation with our child. The lanai is spectacular to eat breakfast at and have drinks at to watch the sunset!

Conveniently located in quiet neighborhood

Very efficient layout in a very quiet neighborhood, yet centrally located to the entire Kohala coast. House is full of all you need in your own home, so no time wasted shopping for XYZ during your vacation. Sit back and relax!

Relaxing

Amazing stay at this guest home. So close to everything and everything was as described. For our family it was perfect, we wanted quiet and it was located right between Hapuna Beach and Kamuela. We love the Big Island and this was awesome, beautiful sunsets, clear starry skies. 5 Stars for sure.

Every possible detail

This property had it all. It was private, had an amazing view from a spacious lanai, had well appointed beds, and a perfectly outfitted kitchen. The location was right near the islands best beaches, but also close to highways that easily allow you to explore the opposite side of the island too. We will definitely be rebooking if this property is available next summer.

Lovely and peaceful getaway

Georgine's home was so welcoming and had all the supplies needed to feel at home. It was away from the hustle of Kailua Kona, pretty centrally located between Hilo and Kona. It's quiet away from it all, so if you want a city close-by and walkable, this place is not for you. If you want a peaceful sanctuary, this place is for you. I absolutely loved our stay here - Georgine's House of Peace and Joy was exactly that.

perfect location, lovely accomodation

This place is above a busy road, which would normally annoy me. But it is so well appointed, so well laid out, the view so lovely, and the distance to great beaches so close that I wasn't focused on the traffic. The neighbors are lovely. We stayed in 3 rentals on this trip. This was voted the best.

Welcome Home

Truly like “coming home” where you get to relax. Well organized and stocked with more than the bare necessities. Just bring your groceries!!! Generous Outdoor living space is where my family gathered the most, seeing the ocean from under palm trees! Wonderful onshore breezes in the afternoon. Plenty of nearby adventures for easy day trips.

Yes, just perfect. I first rented this house 20 years ago, fell in love with it, and remain so today. Everything you need for housekeeping, and for stepping out and enjoying the island. Super-central location, and a lanai that can't be beat. Maika'i loa.

Simply Amazing

This was the first time i ever used Vrbo, and just wow. The location, the house, the price were amazing. When we come back to the big island this is the forst place we will check out. The house has everything you need to make food, rice cooker even, spend the day at the beach, (boogie board, umbrella, cooler, chairs, honestly everything. Instructions were so go we never had to reach out to the host. The power did go out our last day at 4 am, but it was the whole neighborhood, but came back on around 6 am, so no home alone moment for us. Well love home and grounds. Thank so much for sharing your house with us!!!! 10 stars if i could.

Central and Comfortable

It may seem strange to call a property in a small subdivision several miles from the nearest town "central", but if you intend to explore the Big Island rather than just stay at a beach, the location at a crossroads is extremely convenient. The house itself is an older home that's been tastefully and efficiently remodeled to provide an elegant kitchen, large living room, comfortable bedrooms, and a huge and nicely-furnished lanai. The views extend the length of the Kohala Coast, and include Hualalai, Mauna Loa, and Mauna Kea. While it was a 5-star rental for us, it's position above a busy intersection at the base of a hill means that traffic noise is a reality in the outside areas. Inside, it's not an issue at all, so the positives greatly outweighed that one possible negative for us, but renters should be aware before booking.

Convenient, comfortable base

The place is located in a quiet little subdivision off by itself but minutes by car from a variety of sandy beaches great for all ages. The house has a great view looking south down the coast and of Mauna Loa. You get traffic noise when on the porch, but it’s really only bad during the morning and evening commute. The yard is full of birds. We stayed a week and explored all directions except Hilo and south island which we did from another base. If you want nightlife, stay in Kona. If you want maximum beach time without congestion, stay here. Waimea is just up the road 20 min or so and has grocery stores and lots of places to eat. Lapakahi State Park has great snorkeling on calm days but sunscreen is not permitted so if you burn go early before the sun is high. The only thing about the house that was a challenge for us was the requirement to take the garbage to a transfer station. The local one was closed so we had to haul stinky trash in our rental car packed with our luggage till we found one open. If we had been leaving to the airport I can imagine taking the garbage with us to be a real headache. We’d stay there again.
