Waipio Valley and Ocean View

Enjoy this breathtaking fully equipped home over looking Waipio Valley up close in this 4 bedroom, 2 bath and outside shower home with incredible views. There are plenty of rooms and views for a family or group of friends to experience the lush and tropical surroundings. You can swim, surf, boggie board or picnic at at any beach on the Big Island.
Alternatively you can see Maui, whales, dolphins and rainbows from your very private lanai or just fall asleep in the hammock to ocean sounds of waves below. We are now the closest VRBO location to Waipio Valley due to recent valley access changes. (4X4 access to none residents limited now, or up in the air, to the valley but normal vehicle rental works for the home).

This house is in a pretty awesome location. The views make up for anything that isn’t top of the line. The kitchen appliances were really nice and the beds/sheets were really clean and comfortable. The downsides are there is only a/c in the living room - none of the bedrooms have it. The weather was nice enough that we were fine but if it was a little warmer, sleeping wouldn’t have been as comfy. It’s a very damp area of the island so leaving the doors and windows open all the time makes the house feel kind of damp. Like I mentioned, the view, beds and kitchen amenities made up for anything that caught us off guard. I would still stay here again, I would just be expecting that this time.

Great location. We wanted seclusion and it did not disappoint. I see some reviews complaining about the road to the house but that is what I loved. The connecting road is a little steep and bumpy but to get away from the crowds or tourists' areas, I can put up with a little rough road. We rented a Jeep because we planned on going to hard-to-reach beaches, etc., and did not have any problems. I do have to mention that the description of the property is not correct on the Vrbo page. The very first words in the listing says, "Entire house", which is not entirely true. There are other people that live in the house on the first level. However, the care takers that live there are very nice people and helpful. They were helpful in getting us in the house because the door lock code that was sent to us was wrong/old. In addition, the book of instructions inside the house also has an expired code. These are all minor things that did not cramp our style at all.Thanks

Wow! Just wow! This property is amazing! The pictures do not begin to show the beauty of the view from this house! The grounds are meticulously kept! The fruit trees and plants, we had planned on going back to the botanical gardens outside of Hilo but there was no need, everything was growing right there! Is the House a little dated yes and I was a little uncomfortable with no coverings on the windows but there truly is no one else around. The house was super clean and the AC kept it cool which is what my biggest issue in booking was! The Host Cemille and Derrick are absolutely amazing! Fresh fruit every time we saw them! So nice and helpful! We hope to be back very soon!

This home has a stunning view. All four of us walked in then stopped in our tracks and just stared when we saw it. During our visit to the big island we also stayed in Captain Cook and Volcano and this location had the most “Hawaiian” feel of the three due to the lush, green surroundings along with the ocean view. Cemile and Derrick are the hosts and are helpful and responsive. Checkout was a breeze. The instructions were simply “enjoy your morning and leave by 11:00.” This home overlooks the Waipio valley and I highly recommend taking a tour of the valley.

This property had the best view on the whole island! It was almost too good to be true. This is your sign to stop searching, and just book this place! You do need a jeep or truck with big tires to get to the property and you have to drive very slow for the last few minutes of the journey, but it’s totally worth it. All of the plants and flowers and fruit trees were so beautiful! The rooms are a little outdated, but still very accommodating. Everything that we needed was there. Camile and her husband live downstairs and also manage the property so are there if you need anything. They are wonderful people. We truly enjoyed talking with them everyday and appreciate the fresh fruit that she brought us. Hope we get the opportunity to return one day!

Lovely spot with epic view of Waipio valley. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the property managers are friendly and helpful. The listing says the beach is just a 10 minute drive away … and it’s true. But you’ll need 4WD and nerves of steal. It’s certainly worth it when you get to the beach.

Amazing home

This is an amazing home, with breathtaking views. The house is as advertised and more! Cemille and Derrick are amazing hosts who are available for whatever you need and truly fantastic people who love the beauty of this area. If you are looking for a place to stay that is quiet, secluded and an authentic Hawaii experience this is your place! The house itself is great for a good size family, we had 7 people and it was plenty of room. The outside shower was by far my favorite, an absolutely amazing way to start your day! Just a magical place. If you want a resort experience this is not the place for you, but if you want raw beauty and amazing accommodations this is the perfect place!
Shower view everyday.

Family friendly spring break location

My husband and I stayed here years ago for our anniversary and loved it so much, we came back! We brought our family and some friends and their kids. It was a great set up for all of us. And lovely location! Breathtaking views of the valley and the ability to easily get to the quaint town of Honoka’a. We specifically chose this location so we could have a central spot to come back to after exploring parts of the northern area of the island. Highly recommend!

Cherry Blossom Festival Staycation

Beautiful views and home is appointed as described. There was severe weather resulting in our early departure due to a loss of electrical and plumbing. We were graciously reimbursed for the day we could not stay there. The 3k security deposit was required very early and held for the maximum 14 days after checkout, which I found annoying. The resident host is just lovely and did all she could to accommodate Mother Nature's wrath.

The Vacation of our Dreams

From the moment we were contacted by our host Cemille to be sure we were good on directions to the house, to the moment we said good-bye, everything was perfect. The slightly remote location is truly magical. Clean, comfortable, great kitchen with all you could need and more…and a grill! That worked! So often not the case. Meeting our host Cemille and learning a bit about her was a bonus. Such a joy to know her.But she is mindful and respectful of guest’s privacy. I only hope I spelled her name right! That view is one I will never forget. And the outdoor shower is something you just have to experience. It was truly hard to leave this special home. If you are wanting an off the beaten path, quiet and peaceful retreat, you should stay here. We loved everything about it. A short drive to Honokaa town that has lots to offer and all the aloha. And if you need a few more amenities Waimea is not far. Again, all you’d need and all the aloha. We continued our vacation on other parts of the island after leaving this house, and we both agree we should have just stayed there. We left a little piece of our hearts there and truly would like to come back some day. And it’s a perfect location for exploring the beauty of the Hamakua Coast. Thanks so much for this memorable stay.
