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.

Incredible ocean view from lanai!

Rachel is a very helpful host who respects your privacy. The lanai was spectacular - recommend buying an air mattress in Waimea and sleeping out on the lanai. Honokaa is a sweet town with some old Hawaiian buildings worth exploring.

Oasis

This is a fabulous location. Private and quiet but close to Honoka'a and Waipo valley. The pool is great for laps and the view from the lanai is stunning. Rachel was welcoming, hospitable, and had helpful tips about the island. Overall a fantastic stay! I look forward to a return visit.

Great escape

We were needing to get away. This place was better than I hoped for. Literally at the end of a no traffic road. Quite comfortable. I loved the nights stargazing, listening to waves, frogs and sometimes whales. The private deck is such a bonus.

Peaceful - Great Views!

Very clean property - amazing views of the ocean (and sometimes cows). Geckos on the porch, lovely winds starting in mid morning, and relatively cool at night. The pool was very appealing, but we only went in it once (too busy doing other stuff). Rachel was very responsive, although we didn't end up needing anything. The unit had everything we needed - while we didn't cook we did eat in a couple of nights. The icemaker in the fridge was great, and there is a water filter container in the fridge as well. There are beach chairs, a cooler, and some other beach equipment. We may be a bit spoiled because we just got a new mattress at home, but the bed did have some peaks and valleys. There are multiple fans (we only used the ceiling fan) and it is extremely quiet! There is certainly lots to see in the area, with easy access to Waimea and north to Hawi. The Waip'o Valley lookout is also close, and there are several cool shops in Honoka'a. Rachel's place was a wonderful way to start our trip to the Big Island and we would certainly stay again.

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.
