Panoramic View in a Special Place
We loved staying here. It is a privilege to stay with Audrey and we feel fortunate to have found this place. The panoramic view is extraordinary, the accommodations were perfect for our needs and although we are ocean/lake lovers, we enjoyed having a pool and hot tub available. Audrey's breakfasts are bountiful and delicious. The fruit is outstanding: finally, ripe fruit, something we rarely get here back east. Really, you can spend hours here just taking in the view and relaxing. Everything is neat and pristine but most of all, we enjoyed our lovely, gracious host.

Like staying with our Hawaiian family
Great location, stunning views with daily wildlife viewing, delicious breakfasts, very comfortable space, immaculate swimming pool and hot tub, beach gear, easy access to many beaches, snorkeling, a dive shop for gear rental, a seafood market with delicious, fresh poke bowls, and a nearby tiki bar/restaurant with a great happy hour (seafood bar and grill). Also near a couple of historic parks, and a short drive to Hawi and Waimea.The hostess is delightful. The kitchen has a full sized fridge (stocked with coffee, milk/creamer, and juice), granola bars and cereal was made available. There is also a toaster, coffee grinder, and a grill.There is shampoo, conditioner, and body wash available in the bathroom.

Gorgeous ocean views, delicious breakfast
My wife and I spent 6 nights at Audrey and Jerry's lovely home this February. The site was perfect for us. North of the main resort areas, it is quiet and serene. The views are spectacular, and we could see Humpback whales from the porch of our room. The room is meticulously cared for by Audrey, and she makes fantastic breakfasts that she delivers every morning. She is a great host, and gave us lots of tips for our stay.

Amazing Big Island Get Away
Audrey was the perfect host and prepared scrumptious breakfasts each day. The property is beautiful and peaceful with amazing 180+ degree views of the ocean. You can also see the Milky Way on clear nights as the light pollution is very low. It feels very safe and secure with a bit of remoteness while being close to Waimaea and the Kohala beaches. The pool was refreshing and looks out over the ocean as well. Higly recommended! A great place to make lifelong memories, we would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful location and accommodation
Arrival was good. Gated community confirm hours manned before arrival. Audrey met us at the gate in less that 5 minutes. If you plan on cooking you will need to use the BBQ grill or microwave. No other cooking options. We improvised and made it work. Very nice breakfast served daily. Mattress firmness is a personal choice. I found it soft, could have been more comfortable. Would return again except for the sleeping. Extremely clean and well furnished. Mahalo, Audrey and Jerry

Amazing view & hospitality
Audrey was an amazing host and the property was gorgeous. She lives onsite in and brought delicious breakfast every morning, but we still had our privacy and got to enjoy the stunning view. It cannot be understated how gorgeous it is sitting on the patio or in the pool overlooking the ocean. I was worried it would be too remote being so far from Kona but there are several great beaches (and Audrey had plenty of beach gear for us), delicious poke (at kawaihae marketplace), and only 20 minutes to Waimea. We had an amazing honeymoon on the big island and hope to come back to stay here again! Note the unit doesn’t have a stove top or kitchen sink, but does have a full-size fridge and microwave.

The Taylor's on The Big Island
I have never seen a view quite like this. The rolling hills around the property and the 180 degree view of the ocean was like nothing we've experienced. The best part of this property is Audrey. She is the most gracious host we've ever had. Her island breakfasts featuring home-grown mango are perfect. While there, we had a bit of rental car trouble. Audrey went above and beyond to help bail us out of this situation. She's wonderful.

Quick getaway
We had a quick three day getaway to the big island. This place was truly amazing. It is a way from the crowds and the resorts, and is quiet and clean. Our host Took good care of us and made us great breakfast. We had fun exploring the northern end of the island and watching the whales from the patio. Definitely will go back.

Absolutely Fantabulous!
Audrey and Jerry are consummate hosts and Makai Hale is absolutely fantabulous! Staying here is tantamount to having one's own private resort! The setting is breathtaking. Wonderful bedding, linens and towels, scrumptious breakfasts. Great assortment of beach equipment. Pristine swimming pool and hot tub. Spectacular sunrises, sunsets, star gazing, and whale watching. Great location in North Kohala. This was our second stay with Audrey and Jerry and we hope our future holds many more stays at Makai Hale!

A special place and host on the Big Island
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Makai Hale due in large part to our hostess Audrey. Audrey was a wonderful and gracious host. This is a true B&B as Audrey made the most delicious breakfasts for us each morning. Even when the power went out overnight in our area, Audrey had a hot breakfast ready for us in the morning. The unobstructed view from the house is amazing. The comfortable lounge chairs allowed us to enjoy the sunset each evening and stargazing at night. The guest suite was very comfortable and had recently been updated. The property was very private and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay at Makai Hale and will definitely stay again when we return to the Big Island.

A beautiful and relaxing stay on the big island!
This property is really beautiful and Audrey is a wonderful host! While it’s a bit of a drive ( minimum of 20-30 minutes) to the small towns, beaches and points of interest, that’s going to be the reality if you’re staying anywhere on the island other than at a resort. The accommodations are comfortable and very well equipped. It was only me and my partner staying there so the other bedroom was unoccupied. The view from the small porch outside the room (as well as from inside if the blinds are open) was spectacular. Completely unobstructed, you look out on the ocean and the slopes of the volcano. The pool on the property is very comfortable and provided great relief from the warm temps each day. When venturing out to the beaches, there are plenty of beach chairs, coolers, beach bags and towels so you don’t have to worry about bringing your own. The breakfast provided each morning was terrific. Audrey made a different item each day (pancakes, omelets, breakfast sandwiches, for example) always accompanied by a nice variety of fresh fruits. Audrey was very respectful of our privacy. She would wait to bring out breakfast until we were sitting on the porch in the morning and then would collect the dirty dishes from the small kitchenette area located outside the rooms while we were away for the day. If you’re looking for a quiet, private and beautiful place to stay, this is it!

A B&B that's hard to beat
Every once in awhile you stumble onto a place that's so special and amazing that your first inclination is to keep it a secret so that it's not overrun. But in this case after you meet the lovely owners you want nothing other than for them to have continued prosperity and success. What else can be said that hasn't already been described in their numerous 5 star reviews? A stunning view that's surreal. A private and pristine pool and hot tub. An immaculately clean room and updated bathroom. Every day a different and always delicious breakfast was brought over to the patio by our host Audrey who could not been nicer. On our last day we had to leave at,4:15am to catch an early flight and Audrey brought us breakfast sandwiches to eat on the way to the airport. As the kids say today, that's next level. Throughout our stay our privacy was always respected and we immediately felt like we were staying with a friend or family member. One night after we returned from dinner we ran into Audrey and sat down outside to chat and just enjoy the evening. The location is minutes away from Waimea, Hawi, and the nicest beaches in the state. There's a great assortment of beach gear that we utilized during our stay. Are there any negatives? Well, the kitchen is very basic and not set up for making dinners, but you know that going in. I've stayed at quite a few VRBOs and B&Bs thru the years and this one's at the top of the list. It's pretty safe to say that we'll be back. Highly recommended!

Hawaii stay
We had thorough communication with our host to begin our trip. As the week progressed we got pretty disappointed in our accommodations. There were employees at the property working almost everyday we were there. Our host while sweet, had entered the property at will several times throughout the day. We had explicitly told her that we were prepping for our wedding on Wednesday and felt like we had no privacy. There were employees working on her garden area and other misc. spots outside including right outside of my husbands room when getting ready. The lack of privacy continued including a time when she entered the house while I was in the shower and my husband was relaxing in the bedroom. This made him very upset. We did not like how when we would try to use the hot tub/pool in private late at night the blinds to her doors and window were all open and you could hear the TV of the host separate house. Overall the place has a beautiful view of the ocean and shore but we felt a huge lack of privacy for the price we paid to stay at this property. It was not what we had hoped it would have been. Seems to be family friendly under different circumstances but we would not come back.

Incredible Hawaiian getaway
Now THIS is what VRBOs were meant to be! The property is even better than it looks like and if it seems to good to be true in the pictures just wait until you try Audreys amazing breakfasts while you gaze out over nearly the entire western side of the Big Island (and Maui!). So many great places to explore nearby. The Kohala coast was our favorite part of the island. Highly recommend taking a day trip up to the Pololu valley and checking out the amazing towns with great shops and cafes youll pass through. Live music at the Blue Dragon was great and a unique place to go. Mahukona beach park has the best snorkeling spot we found out of many spots we went to and its just a quick drive north. Spencer beach park was our closest sandy beach and probably our favorite overall because it was just so laid back (even had one afternoon with live music going!) And theres even a national park with arguably hawaii's most important historical place there. All of this is located just a short drive from where we stayed. Couldnt say enough good things about this stay and already recommended it to multiple friends and family who want to visit the big island.

Great vista in a quiet and sunny setting
We spent 5 nights and had another couple in the adjacent bedroom. Everything is as pictured and the hosts and ohana were wonderful. Audrey provides a fantastic breakfast with daily variations. Don't plan on cooking as the "butler kitchen" has a full size refrigerator and microwave and toaster. There is not stove or kitchen sink as Jerry and Audrey do the dish cleaning for you. A bathroom vanity is adjacent to the kitchen for water needs. The pool is unheated and that's just fine even for the last week of the year. The spa tub is for 2 or 3 persons.
