Beautiful place to stay
Place is beautiful. Great ocean view with sunsets. Centrally located very near beaches and close to hawi and waimea towns. Close to great restaurants. Outstanding hosts who even provide snacks at check in. Peaceful and quiet neighborhood. We will definitely stay here again.

Kohalo studio
I loved Mitsuko's space. It is beautiful, peaceful, and a short drive to many gorgeous beaches. Most important, Mitsuko is kind and considerate and I felt completely at home and safe there. Also, we really appreciated the beach gear - big towels, snorkeling equipment, umbrellas (yes, you'll need them) and beach chairs. Thank you again for wonderful hospitality.

Perfect location for exploring the Kohala coast
Lovely rural location with stunning views over the ocean. Quiet, peaceful, clean, comfortable, quality bedding and towels, bed comfortable, seating inside and out, and plenty of room to park car. Hosts welcoming and helpful. Clear arrival instructions, although a bit hard to spot house number in the dark. Portable air-con unit too noisy to leave on at night, but also has tower fan and 3 opening doors with insect screens, so possible to get good sleeping temperature at night.

Mahaloa Whale Jump
Thank you, Mitsuko for being a great host and with a wonderful place to stay along the Kohala Coast on Big Island in Hawaii. She was most helpful and accommodating in our communications. Her place was better than expected with fabulous views of the ocean and volcanos. We most liked watching the sunsets from the multiple outdoor and covered lanai spaces. The location was good in proximity to many fine beaches and funky seafood bar restaurant in Kawaihae. Her studio apartment felt cozy and private. The hosts were graciously quiet living above. It is beautifully landscaped adding much color and bird song. It was very clean and neat upon arrival. The large sliding glass doors with screens provided good air circulation and wonderful views from inside as well. The kitchenette was well stocked with equipment for light cooking. The unit was well equipped for beach activities. We would happily use Mitsuko’s place again when visiting the NW part of the Big Island. Highly recommended for those seeking comfort, quiet and outstanding views. Cheers…. Jack B. Gloucester, MA

2 nights in a peaceful paradise!
My husband and I stayed here at the very end of our two week trip to the Hawaiian islands for our 30th anniversary! Wow! It was so beautiful with the view of the ocean in the distance and with all the flowering bushes and trees in the garden right off the porch.We loved it here and wished we could’ve stayed longer! Our hosts Mitsuko and Curt were so gracious and told us they weren’t expecting any guests right after us and we could take our time checking out and let us come back after going to the beach,which was well after the check out time, to shower before heading to the airport! Thank you so much Mitsuko and Curt!!!

Cockroaches and No Security
The good news is this property has amazing views, including Hawaii's famous sunsets. The bad news is we found cockroaches in our unit. Being concerned they may travel with us to our next destination, we cleared out first thing in the morning without staying our second reserved night. We would have left immediately upon finding the bugs but there was nowhere else to stay in the immediate vicinity. Secondly, the only entrance to the unit is through sliding glass doors that cannot be locked except when inside the unit. There was no security for our belongings when we were not present. Finally, if you want a place away from everything, this is a good option but there is nowhere to eat. There were literally only two options for dinner on the Saturday night of our arrival. One place had no openings for three weeks, and the other had a live band with a cover charge. We were two weary travelers just trying to get a bite to eat. We immediately communicated with the owners when we found the cockroach. (They live above the rented unit.) We told them we were leaving in the morning. They claimed to have never seen bugs. We had to scramble at the last minute to find a place to stay on our last night on the Big Island and of course had to pay a huge sum for a last minute booking. The owners refused to provide any compensation for the night we did not spend in their unit. While you may enjoy the quiet and the view, beware of the bugs, security, and the owners. Oh, and bring your own food.

First of all, thank you for choosing our studio. We're sorry this wasn't the place for you. Everything seemed fine until you came back from dinner. You texted us late at night that you caught a cockroach and put it outside and you wanted a refund. It is no secret there are roaches in Hawaii and we don’t think anyone should expect a refund for seeing one. Roaches like to live in wet places. We are located in the sunniest, driest place in Hawaii so there aren’t a lot around. In fact we have never seen any in your studio. You did and we are truly sorry for your bad luck and upset. We also wish we could have recommended some places for you to eat. We live in a private-residence area that’s only fifteen minutes away from the Mauna Kea hotel, the Westin hotel, and Mauna Lani resort and shopping center. All have great restaurants. Information and menus from nearby restaurants were in the counter drawer as well as a key for locking the doors from the outside. We are sorry we didn’t have better communications and really hope you found a nice place to stay and loved your vacation. Aloha.

Quiet with a View
Situated high up the slopes of the north end of the island; from the porch one can enjoy a panoramic view that includes sea, both Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, and all of the Kona coast. The studio is located on the lower level of a private home, and the hosts are most generous with little snacks, and in our case even first aid! Nearby are Spencer Beach, and an interesting ancient temple, other beaches along the north coast where whales can be seen. The town of Waimea has many restaurants and a farmers market mid-week. Kitchen is basic so don't plan on cooking any gourmet meals, just enjoy the peace, and watch the birds!

We had a wonderful stay
The studio is exactly what we were hoping for. We had wonderful views every day and the hosts were extremely nice and helpful. One little remark: the kitchen is rather small (which we knew in advance). So it was nice being able to cook at least some pasta, but if you are planning on cooking extensively then this might be the wrong place. If you are not planning on doing so, we can only highly recommend staying here.

Large lots, very dispersed houses, great walking, dark enough for great stargazing and sunsets. Very clean with a nice ocean breeze at about 1000’ elevation, so the breeze was nice and cool. We will be back to this property. We’ve stayed in numerous locales on the big island and this beat them all.

The bed was super comfortable, the beach equipment was really convenient. We were a little concerned because all the doors didn’t lock, but the neighborhood seemed safe and we were able to use the broom handle in the sliding door.

Apartment with a View
We are looking forward to it Beautiful, quietly located apartment with great views of the garden and direct views of the sea. The apartment was basically clean, only one shower towel was dirty and certain pillows on the sofa inside and outside had small stains. The communication with the hostess was impeccable and cordial. We even received a small breakfast from her once. The apartment is about 40min from Kona, the nearest larger town Waimea is about 20min by car.

Great location / Nice place
The studio is small but the wrap around lanai and the floor-to-ceiling garden/ocean view more than made up for that. Wireless worked fine, a/c was nice, bed was comfy. We appreciated all the linens in addition to beach towels and very nice beach chairs. The location was great for us -- a little isolated (in a good way) but close to our favorite beaches and snorkeling spots on the north Kohala coast.

Mitsuko and Curt are wonderful hosts who share not only their fabulous home(pictures do not do this property justice), but snacks, experiences, local recommendations for beaches and restaurants. This area is centrally located to Waimea, Havi, and South Kohala beaches. This is a place of peace and beauty that should not be missed!

Perfect Respite
We stayed here the last two nights of our 10 day trip to the Big Island. We arrived just after sunset. The views are expansive and the wrap around lanai was so welcoming. There were strong winds that evening and it felt great! The following morning I just I didn’t want to leave it. I agreed to go to breakfast but wanted to spend the day in the quiet of this place with the amazing views and the fragrance of their trees and flowers. We ordered from the Seafood Bar for dinner and had coconut shrimp on the lanai! Watched the sunset and the moon rise. Perfect last night and only 35 minutes to Kona Airport in the morning.

There is an air filter/purifier with a fan that we ran at night with the sliding doors open and we were comfortable. The owner let us check in early and had beach chairs and an umbrella out for us so we could head to the beach which we appreciated. We would stay again. Thank you to the host!

My favorite stay of our whole trip on the big island
I LOVED staying here! We stayed at 4 different places across the island and this was by far the best. Very clean, quiet, and relaxing. Lots of really nice amenities like beach-going gear, lots of towels, soaps, and even snacks! The view is beautiful (not just of the ocean but on clear days you can see the top of Mauna Kea!) and you have access to an outdoor patio with different places to sit. Really lovely hosts, would absolutely recommend staying there.

Only stay if desperate
At first I wasn’t going to leave a review because the property manager is extremely nice but honestly I’m very upset by this experience the more I think about it. First I did not realize we were staying in the basement. No big deal but whenever someone walked upstairs it sounded like thunder. The wall shook the bed and it was very loud. The bed was uncomfortable and the shower just looked dingy but can be ignored. There was ants everywhere and I mean EVERYWHERE! From crawling into our food that was left on the table to our toothbrushes on the bathroom sink. They ended up getting into our suitcases (that we had off the ground) and when I was at the airport I saw them crawling out of my bag (CRINGE!!!) I left my phone & laptop on the counter and when I grabbed them ants where crawling all over them. I told the property manager and she said she didn’t see anything when she cleaned which I don’t believe since they were legit covering every inch! Aside from the bug situation and the motel 6 interior - the location was great and the views were beautiful.

Svar fra VrboOwner den 3. apr. 2023
I am sincerely glad you enjoyed the views and the location. We have had 150 reviews of our cottage thus far, and gratefully average 4.8 Stars, which indicates that the vast majority of our guests are pleased with our cottage as it is. It is of course unlikely if not impossible to please everyone in all regards, especially when things such as the comfort of a bed is such a subjective and wide-ranging preference. Thankfully, most that have said anything say how comfortable it is. Regarding ants, here in Hawaii the ants can be a pest sometimes way more than others, and especially if food is left on the counters or anyplace else other than the fridge. It sounds like you did leave food on the table and perhaps elsewhere, which is enough to entice them in. If I had seen them I would definitely have treated the house and the outside for them. Again, when looking at past reviews the majority that mention it comment on the cleanliness. I believe the comment on the noise from upstairs is an exaggeration, as we both are quite careful in this department, and are reasonably sure this has not been noted previously. In fact, many comment on the "quiet". The house is a "pole" house quite high on stilts so the bottom level is not a "basement", as a basement is built INTO the ground and that is not the case here at all. I am sincerely sorry you did not enjoy your stay and am very grateful for ALL the people that have enjoyed their time here. Aloha, Mitsuko
