What a relaxing, private home from which to enjoy this different and so beautiful island! Far from the maddening crowds, near to friendly folks, this cottage made for a fine restfull vacation. Our hosts provided us with all we needed and more. We were comfortable, felt peace in this quiet atmosphere ...and we'll take this with us as a reminder that we must return soon. – Gary & Marylin, California

We had 5 glorious weeks here split between the two cottages. We felt at home right away. [Based here] we explored the Big Island all around. The insider information you provided was very much appreciated. The place was always nice to come home to every day after a good day out. Once in a while it was also real nice to stay home and enjoy the place which is very comfortable and relaxing. We had everything here. The cottages are located in one of the most pleasant areas on this island. The climate is dry and warm but not stuffy or humid. The nights are cool for sleeping well. We loved going to Waimea town [10 minutes away] which was easy to reach to shop and experience the local culture. It's just a beautiful place. The beaches down the road are the most outstanding on the island [12 minutes] -- especially our favorite one, Mauna Kea beach. Thank you for everything you did to make our stay memorable. - Jaye, USA

The cottage was perfectly stocked, the location could not be better for seeing the entire island, and the hosts are most helpful. The weather was comfortable, if not outstanding, during our 10 days on the island. A cloudy day [in May] at the Mauna Kea beach is still a lot warmer than a spring day in Oregon. We thank you for providing such a comfortable abode for our stay. It was perfect in every way. If we return to the Island, we will give you a call. And, we will also recommend your cottage to anyone we know headed your way.

Thank you so much for the wonderful accommodations and all the extra amenities in the cottage. We loved the fresh fruit basket and the well-supplied kitchen. Your personal “Holo-Holo” Day Trips was perfect! We took it with us everyday. Some of the best things we did we might have missed if not for your guide! We love the Big Island and will definitely come back to stay here again. You helped make our honeymoon perfect! Mahalo….See you again, soon! Leigh & Mike, Maryland – USA

“Sea turtles, dolfins and whales…OH MY!”
We wonder what the Wizard of Oz’s Dorothy would say about the graceful Manta Rays, charming sea horses …and even the sharks of Hawaii’s Big Island?  Experiencing wonderful sea creatures in their natural habitat is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.  Sea Horses were once found in all the major oceans of the world…now you can see these beautiful delicate creatures on the Big Island ’s Sea Horse farm in Kona.
