About this property

Waipio Valley and Ocean View

Enjoy this breathtaking fully equipped home over looking Waipio Valley up close in this 4 bedroom, 2 bath and outside shower home with incredible views. There are plenty of rooms and views for a family or group of friends to experience the lush and tropical surroundings. You can swim, surf, boggie board or picnic at at any beach on the Big Island.
Alternatively you can see Maui, whales, dolphins and rainbows from your very private lanai or just fall asleep in the hammock to ocean sounds of waves below. We are now the closest VRBO location to Waipio Valley due to recent valley access changes. (4X4 access to none residents limited now, or up in the air, to the valley but normal vehicle rental works for the home).

Family friendly spring break location
My husband and I stayed here years ago for our anniversary and loved it so much, we came back! We brought our family and some friends and their kids. It was a great set up for all of us. And lovely location! Breathtaking views of the valley and the ability to easily get to the quaint town of Honoka’a. We specifically chose this location so we could have a central spot to come back to after exploring parts of the northern area of the island. Highly recommend!

Cherry Blossom Festival Staycation
Beautiful views and home is appointed as described. There was severe weather resulting in our early departure due to a loss of electrical and plumbing. We were graciously reimbursed for the day we could not stay there. The 3k security deposit was required very early and held for the maximum 14 days after checkout, which I found annoying. The resident host is just lovely and did all she could to accommodate Mother Nature's wrath.

We could live here!!
The waipi'o area is amazing. You must do the Shuttle tour. This house has a deck you never want to leave. Cemile is so helpful, kind, and interesting (even though you almost never see her or hear her.) This for sure is a return place for us some day.

The Vacation of our Dreams
From the moment we were contacted by our host Cemille to be sure we were good on directions to the house, to the moment we said good-bye, everything was perfect. The slightly remote location is truly magical. Clean, comfortable, great kitchen with all you could need and more…and a grill! That worked! So often not the case. Meeting our host Cemille and learning a bit about her was a bonus. Such a joy to know her.But she is mindful and respectful of guest’s privacy. I only hope I spelled her name right! That view is one I will never forget. And the outdoor shower is something you just have to experience. It was truly hard to leave this special home. If you are wanting an off the beaten path, quiet and peaceful retreat, you should stay here. We loved everything about it. A short drive to Honokaa town that has lots to offer and all the aloha. And if you need a few more amenities Waimea is not far. Again, all you’d need and all the aloha. We continued our vacation on other parts of the island after leaving this house, and we both agree we should have just stayed there. We left a little piece of our hearts there and truly would like to come back some day. And it’s a perfect location for exploring the beauty of the Hamakua Coast. Thanks so much for this memorable stay.

Absolutely stunning views, house was immaculate, and the onsite property mangers were wonderful, friendly people. Definitely 10/10 would stay again. One tip though-best to have an SUV to get up the hill to the house, the road is pretty challenging

Outstanding Waipio location
Great stay. Everything we needed for a family of 6 was there, including water boards and coolers for the beach. Derrick was very helpful. The views of the valley and the ocean were unbelievable. Ice maker did not work, but we bought ice to get us through. I feel the directions to get to the house could be clearer.

Relaxation with the perfect view.
The two words that describe this property best are Beautiful and Relaxing. The view is spectacular and is as described and shown, but even better in person. There is lots of indoor and outdoor space with comfortable furnishings. The outdoor shower is amazing, wish I could have brought it home with me. Definitely would stay here again.

Amazing old Hawaii experience
This is what Hawaii used to be. It is dirt roads, jungle, beaches, local culture, food and small Hawaiian towns. I can't say enough about the property managers Derrick and Cemile who are two of the kindest, down to earth people I have had the pleasure of spending time with. If you are looking more for a resort vibe: pools, beach, room service etc then I would not recommend but if you are looking to get a bit off the grid and away from the madness of modern life this is truly a unique and special place.

We had a great time staying here. Beautiful view, well stocked place with very nice hosts. The road heading up to the place is super narrow, pretty steep, and feels like you’re off-roading. We thought it was pretty fun and added to the experience :)

Incredible views and hosts!
What a beautiful location--peaceful, astounding views, comfortable and well-stocked house. The property managers were delightful and incredibly helpful. We found everything we needed in the kitchen, which is not always true for a rental! The outdoor shower was divine. It was really helpful to have the beach equipment available as well. The one thing I would request is an update to the living room furniture (run down and not as comfortable as it could be) and a better mattress in the primary suite (very soft, which some people might like). These things would make this a perfect review. We will definitely return! Many many thanks to Derrick and Cemile.

Bucket List Stay
Impossible to describe the views and the surroundings at this unique home. Plenty of room, full kitchen, amazing outdoor shower, beautiful well appointed home. And - you sleep in a rainforest with this unbelievable view and sounds and stars at night that are just unmatched -- and still an hour from Big Island beaches. Honokaa is a great little town 15 min away. Property managers are fantastic. Once in a lifetime kind of stay.
