Private Ohana on the lush Hamakua coast with AC

Nice - no issues

Couldn’t drag suitcase along the grass.

Brand new and clean. Well set up by owner

We enjoyed our first night so we stayed another night.

The room was comfy and very clean. It was a perfect room that my wife and I needed - microwave, big fridge, stove top, kitchen utensils etc.. We highly recommed this place if you want to explore the region around Honokaa. Note that non-residents could no longer hike down the beach below the Waipio Valley Lookout unlike a few years ago.

This room was a perfect self contained unit with plenty of space. Everything seemed brand new and squeaky clean. I easily could have stayed here a month. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was nice. We were only there one night because it was otherwise booed. We used the fridge but the kitchenette seemed to have the basics. I am not sure the A/C would be necessary for everyone but we admit to using it and appreciating it since we are accustomed to it at home. There were plenty of outlets for charging our devices. The owners were available and friendly. My only recommendation is to make sure that you have the map and check in instructions saved on your phone as the cell service along the way there is not the best and you may lose access to the information. I had no cell service upon arrival and sent a booking message to ask for the instructions, and she replied immediately! I would highly recommend this stay to see this part of the coast and to visit the little town. It has the most delicious Big Hawaii chocolate on the island (award winning) and tastings are free at the shop in town. The bathing suit shop makes one of a kind items that we could not resist. The entire coast is is beautiful and the view of the valley is breathtaking. I hope that someday we can return to hike the valley since it is no longer open for hikes …at least not while we were there.

Nothing

Bill is a skilled woodworker and he has done an exceptional job outfitting the property. The welcome was friendly and the property had all sorts of nice extras like snorkeling gear. Self catering kitchen was to a high standard. The village location is quiet with an old world rural Hawaii vibe -- just what we love!. Wished we could have stayed another week.

All good.
