Quiet and Restful

This is a restful, lovely property conveniently situated 15 minutes from several beaches, and the town, which is about the same distance in the other direction. There are farmer's markets on Wednesday and Saturday, so we did the bulk of our shopping there. However, there are a couple of large markets and a health food story in town as well. Some great family owned restaurants too. Try the local fair, inexpensive and delicious. Mark and Carmella were great hosts. We would definitely come again.

The perfectly special place to stay

Beautiful setting and beautiful home. The home is delightfully appointed and the hosts were very attentive. The location is perfect for exploring the North of the island on both the East and West sides. Everyone loved sitting on the deck enjoying the surroundings, including the fields, the volcanoes, the ocean, the sunrise and sunset, as well as the incredible stars at night.

Really loved our stay here. The view from the balcony is breathtaking. Home had everything we would need. Extremely relaxing and quiet after a day at the beach. Marc was excellent at communicating with any questions/issues. We stayed here with our three children ages 7-12 and loved spending time at fantastic beaches that were a quick 15-20 min drive away or exploring other parts of the island. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful scenery and peaceful vibes!

Our hosts were friendly and amazing, along with their 3 doggie assistants! The property is very scenic with views of volcanoes and ocean. The home was very cozy and comfortable with everything we needed. We felt right at home and the property was conveniently located to many places for day trips; Mauna Kea and beaches. They had beach gear available for use as well! We also enjoyed meeting the family (3 doggies) who were fun ambassadors! We highly recommend this property and our wonderful hosts! Mahalo!

Excellent place

Marc was a wonderful host, and very communicative throughout our stay. Their place is immaculately clean, well located, and has GORGEOUS views of the surrounding ranch country, about 10 minutes from Waimea. You could see the Mauna Kea observatories in the distance from the back porch. The only thing missing is a dishwasher--which we told Marc and he said he'd look into it. We highly recommend it and will definitely come here if we go back to the Big Island.

Unfortunate

We arrived at the property at normal check in time. Property was uncleaned. Beds were unmade, bathrooms dirty, sinks were dirty, towels and trash were left everywhere. Contacted Marc and after three calls and a voicemail, a Micah did call back and offered an adjoining property to shower in. She said cleaners were en route and cleaning would take a few hours. Micah never contacted us to let us know when cleaning was done. We arrived 4 hours later. Property was cleaned but there was a flying cockroach and ants in the bathroom. Upstairs tub was under repair and we were not notified of this. We had a large party staying there and having to share one bathroom was quite challenging. The tv in one bedroom had no signal. I contacted Marc after our stay to discuss the issues we encountered. I was offered a refund of half of the first nights stay. I disagreed and contacted Marc but haven't heard back, instead was notified the host left a review for me. The property is beautiful and the location was perfect for us. However, the feeling we felt upon entering and seeing the unit dirty, then after it being cleaned and seeing the roach and ants, left us feeling dirty the duration of the stay. There are also three dogs on property that will come and say hi whenever they see you which is a bonus. It's unfortunate that this happened as working with Marc prior to checking in, was easy and accommodating but he said he was away and had a manager handle the cleaning.

Peaceful oasis

This property is a hidden gem! We had to extend our visit and the VRBO we were staying at couldn’t extend our contract so we found this property on Vrbo. From start to finish it was amazing. The owner was so quick to respond with our questions prior to arriving and check in was about as uncomplicated as you could imagine. There are the sweetest doggos on the property- friendly but they don’t bother you at all. The property setting was so peaceful and beautiful with views of Mauna Kea and the ocean. We had rainbows both nights. Although it was hot down by the resorts it was a perfect temperature up where this property is located. The breezes were more than adequate in keeping the home cool. I would say the only draw back is there isn’t a full kitchen- there was a toaster oven and counter top gas burners. We made dinners there without the need for anything more than what was provided. If you are looking for a quiet spot away from the resorts but still close enough to the beaches and Waimea this is a terrific spot to land!

Beautiful and serene getaway

Location is excellent with views of Mauna Kea and the ocean. The elevation and the constant breeze were relaxing as it didn’t get too hot. The owner was very responsive, check-in and check-out very easy and the property was as advertised. Getting to Waimea for food and drinks is just a 10min drive and it’s equally easy to get to the coast. We fully recommend staying at this property.

Beautiful,Quiet, Countryside Home

When we arrived, we were greeted my Marc’s incredibly friendly dogs (the kids loved playing with them). Marc and his wife have a beautiful house on a lovely property. It’s not far from the coast or town but you’ll feel like you’re in your own private estate. The accommodations were wonderful for our family of 5. The deck is huge and great for star gazing. I can’t say enough good things about our host, Marc. He recommended places to visit and was happy to share his secret stash of board games to help us enjoy our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

Beautiful house with amazing views!

We had a fabulous stay at Marc's beautiful property. We stayed for 11 days and it was perfect. It was close to the beach, to town and the views are incredible. The house is spacious, clean and very well stocked. Beds were very comfy and the rooms were beautifully decorated. Marc was a great host, responded very quickly and was very accommodating to our needs. Our kids loved his dogs, my daughter she still asks me about them:) We would definitely stay here again and recommend Marc's house to our friends! Mahalo!
