About this property

Enjoy viewing the photos of your Hale - home away from home

Welcome back to the Aloha State.
One thing about the space you cannot see in the pictures is that we clean green, which means no toxic chemicals in your living area. We also installed a Carbon based Water conditioner and scale reducing system using a turbo-tac. This gives you pure clean drinking water throughout all faucets and shower. No need to buy bottled waters. Another added perk is that you'll have access to use a variety of amazing essential oils, if you'd like. A diffuser is located in the bedroom, this may help eliminate that annoying jet lag some travelers experience. After a good night sleep, enjoy a morning beverage while taking in the beautiful views from your private patio.

We are installing Air Conditioners April 20th 2018. Instead of raising the rates we decided for those that would like the usage of air conditioning there will be a $10 charge daily. We have Ceiling Fans in every room, for most that is all they need but for those that want cold this will be perfect for them.

LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!

Minutes away you will find beautiful Waikoloa Village Golf Course, designed by Robert Trent Jones. If you plan to golf let us know in advance, we can get you discounted rates to this fun course!

Here on the sunshine coast of the Big Island you will find some of the best beaches this island has to offer! We provide you with all the beach equipment you'll need at no additional cost, including beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and snorkeling gear. That means less packing for you!

We are centrally located to many entertainment, adventure, relaxing, and sight-seeing destinations.

Staying here in your hale (home) away from home, you will be just a short 7 minute walk to a grocery store, gas station, bank, restaurant's, and shop's. Five miles down the hill you'll find amazing resorts, art galleries, beaches, and additional restaurants and shops. Kona International Airport is only a 25 minute drive, and Kailua-Kona Town is just 35 minutes away. Hilo (the tropical side of the island) is a convenient 70 minute drive, and Volcano National Park is only a 2 hour beautiful commute away. Hawi (a small town in North Kohala, the area where King Kamehameha was born) is a 40 minute drive along the beautiful coast, while Waimea (home to the state's largest cattle ranch) is just a quick 20 minute drive. So many wonderful sites to see and all conveniently located!

The Big Island has 11 of the 13 climates of the planet with Waikoloa being the sunniest part of the Hawaiian islands!

Please come and enjoy paradise!

2nd Time Even Better!

This is the second time we’ve stayed at this lovely home, and I honestly didn’t think it could get any better. It did! Instead of the loveseat, Sherry and Dave have put in two recliners, new patio furniture, and a reverse osmosis system throughout the home. It’s nice to see hosts that keep the property up-to-date. Dave and Sherry are a lovely couple who make you feel like family! They stock this home with everything you made. Looking forward to returning!

This is one of the best vacation rentals we have every stayed in. Sherry and David are such nice people and so hospitable! David gave us a bottle of sparkling wine for our 53rd wedding anniversary! There were apples and protein bars in the fridge when we arrrived. The place was so clean and charming. Sherry did our laundry! We will definintely stay again if we come back to the Big Island.

Urlaub im Paradies

Vielen Dank an Sherry und David für den unvergesslichen Urlaub auf Big Island in Waikoloa Village. Die Wohnung war für uns in perfekter Lage und mit allem ausgestattet was man sich wünscht. In der Nacht ist es sehr ruhig auch mit geöffneten Fenstern. Wir sind bei der Ankunft spät am Abend mit gedimmten Licht, ätherischen Ölen, entspannter Musik und sogar mit Snacks und gefiltertem Wasser empfangen worden. Das war super und das haben wir noch nie so erlebt. Das große Bett war sehr bequem und es gab genug Stauraum im Schrank. Es waren genug Handtücher im Schrank und sogar Toilettenpapier. In der Dusche gab es genügend Shampoo und Conditioner und Duschbad. Es war auch in der Küche alles da und sehr sauber. Es wurde Kaffee und Tee bereitgestellt für die gesamte Urlaubszeit. Für Ausflüge gab es auch eine Kühltasche und Liegestühle und Strandtücher. Und für das tolle Schwimmbad der Community in Waikoloa gab es auch Karten. Für eine Ferienwohnung ist das alles sehr ungewöhnlich und wir waren sehr begeistert und wollen wenn wir wieder kommen gerne wieder bei Sherry und David und den bezaubernden Hunden wohnen. Wenn man nicht möchte bemerkt man nicht, dass man nicht allein wohnt. Doch wir wollten die Beiden gerne kennenlernen und die Hunde auch! Die Waschmaschine und der Trockner befinden sich nicht in der Wohnung sondern in der Garage. Man kann aber jederzeit waschen wenn man Bescheid gibt. Am Liebsten wären wir geblieben. Danke!

Welcoming, Clean & Comfortable

After a long day, walking into this unit was instantly welcoming....soft lighting & music, relaxing essential oil diffuser, cooling fans, lights snacks & cold water.....eliminating travel stress and shifting us to holiday mode. So lovely. We appreciated the cleanliness & attention to detail & quality in what was provided - kitchen knives that were actually sharp, coffee maker with good coffee pods, comfortable bedding, abundant linens, full 3 week supply of sundry items and community pool pass for length swims just to name a few, plus all the things that you normally find in a well-stocked rental. The property is easy to find, has a grocery store nearby and is in a convenient location for exploring much of the island. David & Sherry are kind & generous hosts, great communicators and go above & beyond to provide a home away from home for your holiday.

Super place with super hosts

The unit is extremely nice, equipped with all you might need, with beautiful landscaping. Maintenance of property is stellar. Sherry and David could not have been more accommodating (we old sisters could not figure out how to use Roku, so David came to the rescue in less than a minute! This was after 7:30 pm). We highly recommend this wonderful place!

Sherry and David's VRBO is loaded with top notch amenities. The beautiful wooden floors, the remote controlled ceiling fans, the linens and towels, the color scheme, the holistic amenities, kitchen knife set was pricey for a rental, the Keurig machine, and all the snacks in the refrigerator and chips!! Easy to find location! KTA Food Mart is minutes away. And the view driving down to the beach daily and sunsets are amazing!

Absolutely Enchanting!

This little Ohana is absolutely enchanting! From the moment you walk in the door, you feel relaxed. The extra touches when you walk in is a "welcome" we've never experienced, not even at a resort (salt lamp lit, essential oil lamp going with soft music playing, cold filtered water in the fridge with a few snacks, teas, coffees, etc.). It was better than being at a resort with all the extras. This is the most well-stocked unit we have ever rented! We did not have to shop for the usual TP, paper towels, toiletries, etc. as there was more than enough supplied by the hosts. Beach equipment, cooler, towels, etc. all provided. We usually have to rent this equipment when we arrive at a rental. I can't say enough good things about this place. Perfect for 2 people. And the location is the best centrally located to hit all the island spots (and it's a BIG island, literally!). The hosts, Sherry and David, were wonderful and incredibly accommodating. And you don't see them unless YOU want to see them or contact them. We worried about staying on any owner's property but more private it could not be. The private backyard/lanai was our favorite place to sit at night and watch the sun go down. It was landscaped so beautifully and I honestly would not have been surprised if fairies flew out of the trees. It's that enchanting! Just perfect! I hope next time we rent, we can actually hang with the hosts one night as they were really fun people! So personable and again, giving. You can tell by the price of the unit that they aren't concerned with charging the most they could (which could be a lot) but more concerned with making sure people on budgets could afford to see the incredible Big Island. Thank you so much, Sherry and David! We appreciate you sharing your home! Henry and Linda Pazos

Solid value, superbly clean and outfitted

This is a centrally located mother-in-law apartment--about 20 min to the coast, and 25 min to Waimea. Waikoloa Village has its own supermarket, restaurants, gas station. The apartment is a 22 minute walk to the grocery; the apartment's location is completely residential. For us, the biggest negative is how close the apartment is to Waikoloa Road- and that is a busy road. Trucks and loud cars are on it from the time we woke up (4 am) until falling asleep (10pm). I notice road noise, and it's part of staying here-we stayed during a weekend. We also left the windows open all the time, as a/c is an add-on cost. For folks who want a/c, and keep the windows shut, or don't notice traffic noise, then not a problem. The ceiling fans worked well for us in keeping it comfortable. The neighborhood itself is very quiet. The unit has an entry that faces the entrance road to the neighborhood; if one looks south, it's a pretty view, if one looks west, there's a road. The garden is pretty, and hides some of the street. There is a two person bench, and a one person chair in the garden, and a sense of privacy from the owners--but no place to lie down and lounge. Comes with a grill. The apartment is the living/dining/kitchen area, then a bathroom, then the bedroom. I think the listing says about 500 sq feet. It would be perfect for one person- and it was okay for the two of us, the biggest drawback to the small size is that there is only one place to sit in the living area- a two person settee, so no place to lounge, other than on the bed. I have stayed in probably 40 vacation rentals and this place is the cleanest, most well-quipped one I have ever seen. The kitchen, despite its small size, is very workable. There are a few spices/condiments available. One induction burner, and a great convection/toaster oven. Oddly, no microwave. (Also, I think maybe arrangements can be made with the owners re: laundry, but the apartment doesn't have a w/d). Plenty of towels, plenty of dishcloths, no skimping on dish soap, paper towels, shampoo/conditioner. An outstandingly well stocked closet with really nice beach chairs, towels, two snorkel sets. I cannot over-praise the thought and generosity that went into outfitting this place. Nothing done on the cheap, everything in excellent condition. The bed was just the right mix of firm and soft. The pillows are very thick (and I suggest having an extra set of thinner pillows). Excellent value, excellent quality and cleanliness.
