This is a wonderful share situation with kind, generous & respectful hosts. Location was absolutely perfect for our needs and we truly couldn't have had a better experience. Anne and Ravi make me want to be a better host.

We had a wonderful time in Anne's and Ravi's house. They are so warm-hearted, open-minded and helpful with everything. The room was perfect!! The location is also very good, very close to Waipio Valley, to a supermarket and the center of Honokaa. Hapuna beach and Akaka fall aren't far away either. We can definitely recommend to stay there!! And we'd love to come back sometime. Thx for everything, Anne and Ravi!!

The Hibiscus House is a local charm in one of the best places to stay on the Hamakua coast, just a few miles to Waipio, close to the sunny beaches of the Kohala coast, and just a short drive to visit historic Hilo town, wonderful host and located within walking distance to down town Honokaa, We would stay there again!

We checked in to a charming house with an equally pleasant host Ravi (Anne's partner; Anne was away on business). He welcomed us with tea, snacks as well as stories and tips about the area. We got on really well with one another and soon started sharing meals as well as stories about our home countries and ourselves. It was a very pleasant stay of 3 nights and we can definitely recommend this place to everyone. Ravi cut a young coconut just before our leave and treated us to wonderful fresh coconut juice! It was a great stay :-)

Anna und ihr Partner waren wohl die freundlichsten und herzlichsten airbnb-Gastgeber, welche wir jemals getroffen haben. Da wir übers Wochenende bei ihnen wohnten, kamen sie am Sonntag spontan mit uns ins Waipio Valley und machten dort mit uns eine sehr schöne Wanderung zu einem Wasserfall. Anne hat extra noch einen Salat für uns alle gemacht und diesen mitgenommen. Falls wir wieder einmal nach big island kommen sollten, werden wir auf jeden Fall bei ihnen vorbei schauen.

Anne&Ravi,what a wonderful couple! They made me feel at I was at my home since I got there and I enjoyed my time with them, sharing experiences and cooking tips. Their place is beautiful and the bed is soooo comfortable that you won't want to wake up in the mornings. I'd say Honoka'a is a beautiful and lively town with a lot of amenities. If you spend some days around north area on Big Island you'll love being here instead of Waimea. And you can walk everywhere from Anne's place. This is like a dream in the states!

My stay at Anne's Airbnb could not have been better. I arrived and was greeted with a delicious home cooked meal of Indian lentils. I did not meet Anne as she was away traveling, but I met her partner Ravi who is truly an amazing individual. The house was very comfortable, and I had everything I needed during my stay. The room I rented and bathroom were very clean. Neighborhood was very quiet. I was walking distance to the town of Honokaa. I highly recommend renting from Anne and Ravi.

Anne ans Ragi where truly really sweet. We appreciated the fact that they worked with us with our last minute booking & technology failure shenanigans. We didn't meet Anne but Ragi welcomed us and helped us with places to see. Super welcoming and funny! We only had a problem with the ants or insects or the floor at random times (not too serious). And the never ending rooster in the morning but it's the islands so what do you really expect. Lol The location is great because we had Hilo that was 40ish minutes and Hapuna about the same. It's 15 minutes from Black sand beach. Market place less then 5min walk. I was scared about my 1st Airbnb, but I'm glad we chose them.

This may be a little distance from the airport, however considering that you will need a car to make the most of the island anyway, it's definitely worth the drive. Fantastic location, with a great view down to the sea, shops and restaurants nearby whilst feeling incredibly private once back at the house. The feeling of immersion in the rainforest here is fantastic and the soundtrack that you get to fall asleep to and wake up to are unlike anything I've ever experienced, it's incredible! Really great value for money, fantastic location, super easy check in/out - stop looking, you've found the right place to stay!

This is a great place to stay and enjoy the beautiful island of Hawaii. The house was very well maintained and had everything we needed to make the most of our vacation.

Hemos estado muy a gusto en casa de Patricia. La casa estaba muy completa

Wonderful Ocean view, clean and homey décor. Sweet little town with a main drag within walking distance. Awesome place to stay. We would come back.

Very cute simple house! Patricia was ectremely accommodating, quick to respond. The house is in a great location. Thanks again!

It was a great place to stay. Our family had a fantastic week. We loved the coziness of the house and the view of the rise over the ocean.

This is a very nice, comfortable, modern, relaxing home with a wonderful ocean view (from a distance) Garage, and back yard space with bbq, table and chairs. Walking distance from the main strip which has some shops, and food spots. About a 10-15 min drive to Waimea, with a beautiful scenic route if you take OLD mamalahoa hwy! I highly recommend this home to anyone coming to this area, and the owners were very pleasant and easy to communicate with!

Lovely & cozy home in Honokaʻa. Great breeze that comes through the home. Patricia is great & speedy to communicate with.

We liked the comfortable and clean space for the 4 of us. Kitchen is large and well equipped, which is a good thing since Honoka'a businesses appear to be closed most of the time (except for a good grocery store). Big windows provide nice views of lush vegetation on the hillside location.

Had a fantastic stay in Jennifer's lovely home. Well stocked kitchen, Netflix and Apple TV, lovely welcome basket with some Hawaiian treats, just up the hill from the main with coffee shops and a supermarket. Very central location for all your day tripping adventures. Even though it is centrally located you feel nice and secluded at the end of the street. Will definitely stay here again next time we visit. Thanks Jennifer.

A spacious and very nicely appointed home in a quiet (except for sounds of nature) neighborhood. Communication with Jennifer was great, and there is a thorough set of instructions and tips at the house both about the house and surrounding area. The kitchen is particularly well equipped should one be inclined to cook. The commercial area of town is nearby, and there are serviceable restaurants there. It is reasonably close to Waimea, though anything else—Kailua-Kona, Hilo, Volcanos NP—is a good distance away. As long as the location works for you, there is much to like about this home.

Honokaa was a great location for a base. Jennifer's home was very comfortable and private. She quickly responded to any needs. The 5 of us had plenty of space to hang out. Ocean views but if you are out touring all day, that is a small point. Expect roosters crowing now and then. We loved it. Romeo the neighbor cat was a bonus, but not if you have allergies. The kitchen may already have some condiments and spices so check before you buy. We would return again.

What an amazing house that is in such a great central location on the island. It was a perfect stay. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

Great affordable place in the quiet town of honokaa. Close to amazing hiking and scenic drives. Lots of fruits on the property. Clean house with comfortable beds.

Had such a wonderful time in Honokaa. Beautiful home, with all the amenities. Jennifer was an excellent host, attentive to our needs also very respectful of our privacy. The sweet spot was more than we ever could have imagined.

A very attractive, well-equipped home in a residential area just up the hill from Honoka'a. We loved this place and appreciated interacting with the hosts. We definitely recommend this place to others!

On the quiet side of the island in a sweet little historic town. It's about one hours drive to Kona. Looks exactly like the pictures. Has cable and wifi and the setting really is like a magic garden. I would definitely stay there again. ❤️

This is a lovingly built, well maintained and clean cottage at the back of a main house (currently a store, so there is privacy in the evenings). Walking distance along the main street to all shops, restaurants and the supermarket of Honoka'a. Excellent home base to explore the top and west end of the island (glorious Hapuna Beach is not far). This place is on the rainy side of the Big Island and therefore a bit damp; luckily there is a dehumidifier in the hallway. The owner Sara lives about 15 min away and is very responsive, friendly and welcoming. The cottage can sleep 3 people, but it really is meant for 2 (just two chairs available, for example). If you love to cook, this may not be perfect since the kitchen is supplied a bit sparingly. But there is a full sized gas stove with oven. Overall highly recommended.

Great location in downtown Honoka'a, the Magic Garden is a comfortable place to set up for exploring the north part of the Big Island. The unit itself is well maintained and the kitchen is well stocked for cooking meals. The jacuzzi tub was a great place to relax after a day of hiking, and it was always pleasant to be greeted by Moonbeam, the kitty who lives on the property. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to live like a local.

This little cottage was a dream!!! It was located literally right in the middle of town walking distance to all the little shops and restaurants right in Honokaa. The house was very cute and clean! We especially loved listening to the Coqui frogs at night while bathing in the amazing tub. A beautiful space, we would highly recommend! :)

A lovely little gem in the tropics surrounded by lush plant life with nightly seranading by frogs and wake up calls by birdsong.

Es un lugar excelente. Muy bien ubicado para recorrer el norte de la Big Island desde Honokaa Sería muy adecuado que se colocaran cortinas en el dormitorio

The magic garden is truly a sanctuary tucked away in the heart of Honokaa. the space inside is very beautiful and clean just like the pictures show. Lovely gardens surrounding home. It felt very private, safe and quiet. I am usually very sensitive to car noise but home is far enough away from main road that i didn't hear the cars. Not much traffic in the quaint town. The coquis made a nice background to fall asleep peacefully. And Moonbeam the sweet resident guardian cat was always there to greet us outside and make us feel at home.

Endroit fabuleux et hôtes exceptionnels! Honokaa est un point stratégique pour visiter Big Island: à partir de cette ville, il est possible de se rendre facilement aux plages ensoleillées de l'Ouest, à la vallée de Waipio, dans le rainforest de la côte Est et au Volcano State Park. De plus, pour nous il était important d'éviter les émanations du VOG (notre garçon est asthmatique) et en étant à Honokaa, nous étions en dehors de la zone VOG. Et que dire de l'hébergement: très propre, chaleureux, lumineux et confortable. Merci encore à Matt et Krista!

Matt's place was absolutely fantastic! Clean, spacious and a truly beautiful space. Wish we had stayed more than one night. Nearby Waipi'o Valley and some other spots we wanted to check out. The hosts were very friendly, accommodating, and helpful. Definitely one of the best Airbnb experiences thus far!

I enjoyed staying in Matt and Krista's lovely studio. It has a spacious open layout with all the comforts of home to make for a relaxing worry free stay. Perfect for day trips to the beach, hiking, mountains. Very clean with nice amenities, great design.

The place was comfortable, clean, and spacious, we felt like we were right on our living room! The tv with Netflix on was a nice surprise as well as the binder with activities and restaurants around the area. Matt and his family were very accommodating and friendly, and the neighborhood is very peaceful and quiet. Wished we could've stayed more than a night!

Perfect for our needs. Really nice and cosy place. Matt and his family are great and helpfull. The neighbourhood is calm. Perfect with kids if you don't need two separate rooms.

We stayed at Matt and Krista's the night before a backpacking trip to the Waimanu Valley. For anyone that wants convenient access to Waipo Lookout, Waipo Valley, or Honokaa, stay here! It is very easy to get to any of these locations. Or, if you love Hawaiian donuts, stay here if you want to get to Tex's drive in within 5 minutes :) It's a super welcoming, clean, comfortable place to stay. Since we were backpacking to the Waimanu Valley, it was great that there was a big fridge, a nice cozy bed, and plenty of floor space to spread out and organize our backpacking gear. We also enjoyed a pre-hike soak in their hot tub :) This AirBnB is below the hosts' living quarters, so you might hear some sound from above. The unit is very private though, and in the late evening, we were serenaded by frogs and crickets. The hosts are really nice, great communicators, and went above and beyond to give us a better understanding of the area (they had some really helpful travel/hiking tips). We highly recommend Matt and Krista's place!

Very nice and clean appartment. Would definitely recommand it! Thank a lot for everything.

Matt and Krysta were the perfect hosts! The room was lovely and clean. Just enough space! And the hot tub was a welcome relief after our day of walking and swimming. There are children upstairs, but we barely heard them, and not a peep after 9pm! The neighborhood is lovely and I would definitely recommend a stay at Matt and Krysta's if you're in the area!

Highly recommended. If you are looking for a calm and comfortable location, JR and Becky sweet house is definitely the best choice.

Bref arrêt d'une nuit chez JR & Becky, qui ont une magnifique maison ! Ils sont également très organisés, très bon AirBnb. Nous sommes totalement tombés amoureux de leurs formidables animaux !

JR & Becky, were great hosts, very welcoming and warm. We had the room as expected. Very clean, and comfortable.

Everything was Perfect! Very close from Waipio Valley.

Nous n'avons passé qu'une seule nuit chez JR & Becky, mais nous avons été très bien reçu. La maison est à l'image du couple : chaleureuse et conviviale! JR a su se rendre disponible bien avant notre arrivée et a répondu à chacun de nos mails avec une grande rapidité pour préparer au mieux notre séjour sur Big Island. N'hésitez pas à leur demander une petite excursion, ils se feront un plaisir de vous accompagner! (Nous avons eu la chance d'assister au coucher de soleil de MAUNA KEA).

Very nice room with private bath. They had all sorts of ocean gear for you to use. Bogey boards, snorkel gear. We didn't have time to use it, but it was a very nice perk. We got the tour from their daughter who was incredibly charming. The cat is so friendly it wanted to sleep with us They had a cage of chameleons too! We got our truck all muddy in the Waiopo valley, and they were kind enough to let us use their hose to get the muck off. Very nice family!

Great place to spend the night. Your literally part of the family. Quiet location for a great price. Would stay again.

Becky, JR and their children were adorable! Very nice and friendly family making us feel at home. Clean and comfy room with big bed and clean nice private bathroom. One of the best air bnb I have stayed in Hawaii.

We had a lovely stay at the green cottage. It has a beautiful view of the water as well as a little jungle area. Its within walking distance to all the lovely little shopes and cafés in Honoka'a as well as a park with play equipment where the kids can play.

Wonderful little place at a great price. Relaxed, country feel--yet close to the action and convenience of downtown Honoka'a. I will definitely use the Luana Ola Green Cottage again! :-)

Our stay at the green cottage was perfect! The pictures do not do justice to the wonderful view right from the cabin and the overall comfortable cozy vibe. We had everything that we needed, and the large fridge/freezer space was convenient! Pat and Mohammad were very inviting and told us a bit about the area and activities. It was a great location for touring the NE side of the island. We came up from Hilo- did Mauna Kea, rainball falls, boiling pots, akaka falls, Umauma falls and Waipu valley (amazing) based out of this location. The next day we headed to Kona and did Hapuna beach on the way-gorgeous! (45 minutes from the cottage and then 45 minutes further to Kona.) Mahalo for a wonderful stay!

Süße Hütte, wie beschrieben. Perfekt, um sich nach seinen Inselerkundungen an einen ruhigen Ort zurück zu ziehen. Wichtig ist auf jeden Fall Insektenspray, dann hat man auch was von der schönen Terrasse. :)

What a wonderful location. The view is spectacular and the town of Honokaa could not be more delightful..

We enjoyed the stay at this place very much. The house was clean and we had all we needed. The best was taking some fruits directly from the garden for our breakfast.

The cottage is sweet, and easy walking into Honoka'a. There is a sweet black cat there who greets you upon return (^_^) In Honoka'a town there are stores that offer delicious local krauts, yummy macadamia nuts, bananas, honey, and all kinds of good stuff. Hina Rae's acai bowls were very refreshing and filling. I will get the half size next time. Honoka'a is also where the Hawaiian Cultural Center of Hamakua is located, and you can stop by to see people re-activating the language, craft, song, dance, land; the lifestyle of Hawaii. The ocean view is so beautiful, and all the big trees and flowers and sweet things growing everywhere is quite a tropical treat. I love being able to eat a banana and throw the peel out into the brush... no trash! so easy! The closest always sunny, white sand, gentle water beaches are about 45min away. Remember that it's ALWAYS there to help dry you out when and if it gets too wet for you! What a blessing to have both the dryness and the wetness!!! Oh! There is also Waipio on Horseback. They will let you ride a horse through the valley, a lush wild tropical garden full of food and medicine. Their land is also a beautifully bountiful garden filled with many kinds of yummy goodness, and they will let you snack on mac nuts and bananas before and after your ride.

Watch out for the budae, it will blow out your _________.

The home was clean, comfortable, well located in Honokaa, and friendly welcome. Only hic: I first rented for one person then a friend added to my trip. So I wished to change and rent for two in order to save, but we were told that we could not change ...

Anne and Ravis were so welcoming and friendly! Their place is so peaceful and has such a good energy. One of the best Airbnb's that I've ever had!

I didn't know about movie "Honoka boy" by arriving here. This town Honoka brought me back to my childhood. Very peace n several lovely shops n restaurants(there are Cristal shop n organic shpo vegetalian restaurant too) even though small town. (Unfortunatry., The movie theater of the movie "Honoka boy" was not running by electric problem.) Anne's home is very cloth to the central of Honoka town n big supermarket just few mins walk. I don't drive n I stayed alone. Buses runs just few times a day. However., this host couple helped me a lot. They helped me many way like took me to nice places n share me foods n their idea n helped to book airplane tickets etc. as possible as the can do for me. Their hear are opend n big. We had same truth n connected soon. Their hospitality was wonderful!! I didn't feel lonely n uncomfortable. I felt I was staying at my friend's home. Thank you Anne n Rabi for your wonderful hospitality.

Just from the first email communication I could tell that Anne & Ravi are very welcoming people. Unfortunately Anne was on a trip but I had a very good time with Ravi! Nice talks and a couple of teas, that's all you need to create a warm atmosphere. I had a very nice stay here and would absolutely recommend this place!

Anne's place was a great location for getting to know Honokaa and the surrounding area of north Big Island and the Hamakua coast down to Hilo and Puna. Ravi and Anne are great cooks who were happy to share with me.

Mai is excellent at communication and answered our questions very quickly. We never met her but she seams to be a lovely person.

We very much appreciated our business trip at Mai's historic plantation home! From Check in to check out, no issues. We were very impressed with the ease of check in, amenities and location in town! We will be back in 3 months! Aloha

Place was amazing.. Was worth more than the price.. Made our stay that much better. Awesome host!!!!!

A nice place to stay in big island. A little bit far from big town. Live like local.

Mai's place in Honokaa is a great base from which to visit Hilo/Volcano and Waikoloa/Kona. It is almost halfway between these two key towns on the Big Island so the main attractions are not more than an hour and a half drive in either direction. The house is well equipped and the rooms are clean and comfortable. The only thing to note is that the kitchen and bathroom are separate to the living/bedroom area and are connected by an open but undercover corridor.

Overall we enjoyed our stay at Mai's place. We had the Hawaiian house to ourselves. Since then, the configuration has been updated and the bathrooms and kitchen are shared. The wifi is weak outside of the kitchen, especially in the Hawaiian house unit. We suggest a wifi signal booster to help with that. The house is across the street from the fire department and they have an external PA system and could hear announcements at night. The entry to the house is a bit discouraging: the garage is littered with trash and uncovered. From the walkway, you see through the window what is typically in a basement: a collection of stored stuff. But the overall charm is restored once you get past this. Nice furniture in the main house living room. Great towels. Bathrooms have been recently retiled and are nice.

The location was best; you can walk the town and enjoy the shops

The host canceled this reservation 60 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Wir waren zu zweit und haben uns sehr, sehr willkommen gefühlt obwohl alles sehr kurzfristig geplant und gebucht war, hat alles reibungslos geklappt, wir haben das haus sofort gefunden und haben uns super wohl gefühlt da wir in Honokaa ein Massagetraining besucht haben, war es wunderbar, daß wir zum zusätzlichen Üben auch noch Lisas Massageraum benutzen durften ! und wir hatten eine wunderbare Führung durch den riesigen Garten - Danke Lisa ! D.h. hatten guten Kontakt und auf der anderen Seite genügend Space für uns selbst wir würden diese Unterkunft wieder buchen mit herzlichen Grüßen Margareta und Tanja

Lisa was an extraordinary host. We had a last second change of plans and she accommodated us with warmth and good humor. Her home is lovely and you are instantly made to feel like it is your own. Deep, restful sleep is guaranteed! We will be back.

We enjoyed staying at Lisa's. it was peaceful and quiet off in the country. She makes great muffins for breakfast. Lisa also knows the area very well and told us about some wonderful places off the beaten track. We'd certainly stay with her again.

Lisa and Charley were wonderful hosts. Their home is beautiful and we loved the rural setting. We had a great time talking with them about Hawaii. They had great suggestions for beaches and places along the coast to see whales. We felt very welcome. This would be my first choice to stay again on the north side of Hawaii.

Lisa - Thanks again for having us. We loved the atmosphere at your place in the middle of the woods. Our kids enjoyed the pool table. It was a great location for our trips into The Valley. Thanks again! Yours Andrea

The location is very secluded. The large yard and the woodwork in the home are beautiful. Honokaa is a very short drive and has a market and restaurants. The Waipio valley is also a short drive away. This rental consists of rooms in a home occupied by the owners. There is a separate entrance to the rented area if you want more privacy. The hosts, Lisa and Charley, were very friendly but also willing to leave you alone if you want privacy. There is only a mini fridge, toaster oven and hot water kettle in the rental space. Lisa made coffee and muffins one morning and gave us fruit and scones the second morning. Both were excellent and very much appreciated. We had zero T-mobile coverage in the home or in Honokaa and very limited Wifi in the home. Wifi texting and web browsing worked on our phones or a laptop only in some rooms of the house. This seems to be an issue with this entire area of the Big Island and is not meant to be a complaint about this house. Lisa was very communicative and offered lots of suggestions for things to do in the area.

Very nice place! Thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay. The place is extremely clean, and very peaceful. Lisa and Charlie were wonderful hosts! Thank you!

This is the place you want. Would give 10/5 stars if possible. I hesitate to mention details of the kindness our hosts showed us because they were decidedly above and beyond the contractual requirements, but even the contractual minimum on this place is amazing. The house is a lovely owner-built craftsman home on a lovely cool lot with both shade and some patches of sun (perfect). It's close to Honokaa in what I think is the best part of the Island, with lovely walks on quiet roads right outside the door. Lovely in all respects.

Super friendly, eager to please host. Very clean and orderly room. Gorgeous landscaping. Great location.

When we arrived at the old Plantation Managers house after 24 hrs of travel, we thought we had died and gone to heaven. It is a charming historic house with well established gardens. Plant lovers can ogle at magnificent specimens, some planted more than 70 years ago. The house is brimming with character and is furnished tastefully with many antiques . Jacqueline has created a very comfortable and welcoming environment. There is an outdoor patio with views of the garden and sea, complete with hammocks and loungers, where you can relax and enjoy a cup of tea. She is herself widely travelled so knows exactly what a traveller needs for comfort and convenience. There are many wonderful sights to be seen near by and we deeply regretted that we had not booked a longer stay. If you appreciate quality at reasonable prices, do yourself a favour and stay here.

I booked Jacqueline day-of and she was gracious enough to accept despite the short notice. I was taking my Mom on a tour of the Big Island and knew she would appreciate the clean, professional, and intentional experience of a solid BnB ( I have been guilty of subjected her to jungle shacks in Puna before) and Jacquelines place seemed to fit the bill. Upon arriving, we were not disappointed. Jacqueline was quick to offer us refreshments and after a quick get-to-know-you was very respectful of our space and making us feel at home. Her place is mere minutes from Waipio Valley, but having explored the valley at lengths, I was quite content lounging on Jacqueline's enormous lanai under the Hamakua sun. The next day, Jacqueline treated us to breakfast, accommodating my obscure dietary preferences, and encouraging me at every bite as I devoured 10+ gluten free muffins (made with fine grade matcha powder and bananas as well!). I'm the type of guy that will go camp in Waimanu for a weekend, so experiencing the type of luxury Jacqueline exhibits was quite the treat! Aloha Jacqueline, hope to stay in touch! :)

We chose this property for our base to visit the attractions on the Hamakua Coast. Everything was perfect! What a spot. After two days we decided to make this our "home base" for our entire trip next time we visit the Big Island. Galen was most gracious and provided us with a wealth of knowledge regarding what to see and what to avoid for our day trips. The home is a jewel. High ceilings, a private wing for bathing and sleeping, beautiful kitchen/dining setup and the lanai. Sitting on the lanai with a cold beverage and marveling at the view we had all to ourselves made us want to make this "our spot". Pictures do not do it justice. The warmth and charm of this true plantation style home are matched by Galen's knowledge and enthusiasm for Hawaii's land and culture. Mahalo

Beautiful home with unique history. Gaylene was a kind host and Archie was a delight to be around. Highly recommend.

My son and I arrived to a great welcome. We enjoyed cocktails with the host and a grand view of the Pcific from his very comfortable lanai. During the week we came and went as we pleased. Galen was a treasure trove of info on local restaurants and other attractions. His hospitality was unmatched by other venues I have used. I would highly recommend his home to anyone. I will return in the future knowing that my choice is the best!!

We reserved the Plantation but in the end due to unexpected guests there, Pauhaa Investments upgraded us to another property which far exceeded our needs and in addition had a superb ocean view and wonderful gardens. It was well equipped and furnished and had very welcome laundry facilities. (www.airbnb.com/rooms/(PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) ) Galen was most helpful in his communications, gave great directions and responded promptly to queries.

Galen was an amazing host and was very accommodating in everything. I was on the Big Island for a spa week that required a special diet and I had free range of the kitchen and he even clean off a shelf for me in the refrigerator. He is very easy to talk with and very informative on places to go. His dog Archie was amazing and so friendly. The best part was by far the private bath that we get to use. The view from the porch is amazing and very cool and breezy. Highly recommend staying here while on the Big Island!!!

After a few days on the Kona side of the island, we escaped to the quieter life of Honokaa, and stayed at the Hamakua Coast Plantation. Excellent choice, as it turned out. Host Galen was fabulously welcoming and helpful, and we much enjoyed the conversation on the expansive lanai. The recently renovated bathroom with semi-outdoor shower/tub was so beautiful we kind of wanted to spend all our time just in there. The location has a bit of a distant ocean view over the back hedge, and while outside of Honokaa the downtown is probably less than a 5-minute drive away. Beautiful home, awesome host, highly recommended.

I had a wonderful stay! A very friendly host and a beautiful house! I can only recommend staying there!!
