Kaupunkipientalot – Hamakua Coast

”The “marketing” photograph on Expedia was informative and true! Through the room’s window there was a beautiful view of grass in the foreground and the ocean beyond. (Even better from outside, standing on the adjacent mown grass.) The owner was friendly and helpful. It is quiet and pleasant. Nearby (a short drive) Honoka’a is a pleasant and unspoiled town with several dining choices.

Nearby sights/sites of interest include Pololu Beach and two churches in a New England style, both of which look great in the tropical setting.”

”What a wonderful place! Great communication with the friendly host, Darin. The grounds are spectacular, with tropical plants and a beautiful waterfall.

(You're a bit far from town, so restaurants may not be an option, and everything closes early in that part of Hawaii!). But if you want a secluded, serene island...

”We loved the location and what the owners did with the property. It was like an arboretum. Owners were very kind and helpful.”

”Everything was incredible! Hosts Darin and Katerina went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible. The stream, waterfall, profusion of foliage and flowers were all stupendous We've already reserved the Waterfall Cabin for next year.”
