Hamakua Coast Home- Ocean views, private, clean and friendly

Our secluded ohana (guest home) features a grand, unobstructed view of the Pacific Ocean. The gentle breezes and typically sunny days of our small local neighborhood make this charming hideaway perfect for guests seeking tranquility, privacy, and convenience in a comfortable climate. Whales can be seen (and sometimes heard) from your lanai during their visit to our waters. Unaffected by any surrounding light, the night time is equally enchanting as the stars fill the full canopy of sky. However, all conveniences are so close you'll lack for nothing. Located only 1 mile from quaint, authentic Honokaa, all the amenities and services you may need are simply 5 minutes away. Famous attractions such as Waipio Valley, with its black sand beach, are a short drive as are waterfalls, beaches, and all recreational opportunities. If relaxing at home is your preference, you can enjoy the swimming pool that we share with our guests.

Beautiful and peaceful. So enjoyed Rachel's guest house. The sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. Fun watching the cruise ships go by at night and looking up at the millions of stars. Plus the fresh fruits and flowers were a special treat. The home itself was the perfect size for us Just wish we'd had more time to hang out.

Paradise in Paauhau or heaven in Honokaa

We stayed one week in Rachel’s Pool house and I didn’t want to leave. Now look, if you want a resort experience please just go to a resort but if you want to feel like you live in Hawaii this is the place to be. The view from the lanai is breathtaking and the pool house is the perfect size for two. I swam almost every day in the pool and watched the ocean in between laps. We visited the local Farmers market and hit the Public House our last day for delicious pizza (oh and Tex’s does have THE best malasadas. Our host Rachel was very helpful throughout our stay and the flowers she left for us upon arrival were beautiful! I really hope to come back here again next year.

Peaceful, ocean-view remote guest house

Rachel’s quaint on-site guest house is a peaceful retreat on the Hamakua Coast, magnificent lanai and ocean view. The vintage house has had some updates and is fairly comfortable and reasonably stocked, wry clean. Rachel was a delight to meet, and very quietly respectful of our property. It is about 5-10 min drive outside of Honoka’a, which is a cute town (although no dinner restaurants!).Rachel’s pool looked very nice, hot tub is not working but we were out exploring most of our days. 15 min drive to Waimea,a beautiful drive where you can find about anything. The night sky view from the guest house was amazing; bring a star chart or app to enhance your viewing! Our only suggestion would be to have a bit more information about the house and maybe the local area provided, but we found our way around just fine. This is a beautiful location on a hillside looking out on the ocean, and a good waypoint for seeing Waimea, Kovals and even Hilo-town and surrounding areas.

Beautiful Peaceful home away

My mother and two brothers live on a plot in a remote part of Hamakua coast, near Honokaa. I visit at least once a year. Rachel, the host/owner, keeps a Ohana unit in wonderful shape, she's responsive and a pleasure to work with. She lives on-site. The day we arrived, so did the remnants of a small hurricane. The island and the property were being drenched. Rachel made it as easy as possible for us to get into the unit dry and safe. The unit itself has an unobstructed view of open Pacific. It is peaceful. At night you see the ships and the fishing boats working their way toward Hilo Town. It's a great place.

We had a great stay at Rachel’s place. We were visiting friends in the neighborhood so the location was perfect for us. The house is roomy and everything we needed. The bed was comfy. Beautiful lanai views for morning coffee, meals and sunset. We did not use the pool but it looked nice. I would definitely book this wonderful place again.

Very nice unit with a great ocean view

The property sits at the end of a lane detached from the host’s home. The elevation is about 400’ above sea level in a remote area near the north shore. There is a small town within a 5 min drive. The unit has a nice large lanai with a view towards the ocean. The unit is well lived in with a nice kitchen, bath, bedroom and a small sitting area. The dining table is on the lanai. The host is very friendly and their day to day living does not interfere with the privacy of this rental unit. The unit itself could use some updates and a refresh, but it was comfortable. The king size bed is a nice feature, and although the pillow top cover helped, a new mattress would be a nice update. The evenings on the covered and partially enclosed lanai were quiet and very relaxing. The location is perhaps a bit more remote than we anticipated, but we enjoyed our stay. A couple of things the owners could address are; the oven door does not close properly so when we used it, the whole unit heats up, and the blinds are all in poor / worn shape and it is very hard to open (and close) the windows as is requested by the hosts when you cannot lift the blinds.

Beautiful Retreat

Rachel’s guest home was in the perfect location for us. It is out in the country, with nothing obscuring your view of the ocean. You cannot reach the ocean from this location because you are high above it. But the views are outstanding, sun rise, moon rise and set, and stars. Home is very clean, well furnished and comfortable bed. Rachel was a great host; she provided good suggestions for nearby hiking and sightseeing and fresh fruit from her trees, but never intruded. Would definitely stay again.
