About this property

Tranquil Ocean View Cottage: Your Idyllic Escape at Waipio Valley, Big Island HI

  • Holiday in your private 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage, where tranquility and natural beauty converge for the perfect getaway. As the sun rises, embrace the serene sounds of the waves below, the birds chirping above, the tall grass swaying in the gentle breeze, and the distant rush of waterfalls cascading into the ocean. You will love the way the porch and picture window beg you to slow down, wake with the sunrise, and just breathe in the moment, while watching the clouds come and go. Whales pass by as you sip your morning coffee, rainbows smile at you with the passing evening showers, coqui frogs sing you to sleep. Find peace as you perch above the Pacific Ocean, accompanied by your own personal coconut tree. Escape from the hustle and bustle and be inspired to write, work, journal, meditate, or simply revel in nature's purest form. You'll be surprised not to miss a tv with our gorgeous picture window. This is a place to slow down, find stillness, reflection, grounding, inspiration, and a deep connection with the natural world.

    Nestled near the breathtaking Waipio Valley lookout, this charming and secluded cottage offers a peaceful escape with stunning views. The cottage features two inviting bedrooms, each furnished with luxurious Cal-King beds, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The newly renovated bathroom is a delight, boasting a stylish walk-in shower. Prepare meals in the fully equipped kitchen, stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The bright and cosy living area is perfect for unwinding, whether you're reading a book or simply soaking in the panoramic views of the valley, ocean, and beyond. Enjoy modern conveniences like strong Wi-Fi, a washing machine and dryer, and all the essentials to make you feel right at home. Your hosts are readily available to assist with any questions during your stay at this idyllic retreat.

Terrific cottage with stunning Ocean views

Amazing location. Stunning views over the water and Waipio Valley. Had a great time just looking at the water and watching whales in the waters below. Perfectly appointed cottage with all amenities. We had a truly wonderful stay and would come back for sure!

Best Location on the Big Island

The cottage is in a mesmerizing location perched high on a cliff overlooking the ocean. The views are breathtaking and we saw humpback whales every day. The cottage itself is charming and with two comfortable kings bedrooms and a carefully curated eclectic decor. The kitchen could use some updates, but is perfectly adequate. Would return ina heartbeat!

Heaven on earth

This property was exactly as listed if not better. Whale watching from the porch anytime of day; or lounging in the sun overlooking the ocean. The serenity of being immersed in nature ; from the birds, horses, frogs, geckos. The night sky was absolutely magnificent. And occasionally able to see the silhouette of Maui. Thats all, and then the actual views of the healing energy of Waipio Valley. I enjoyed having a little haven to go to after a day of sight seeing! The house was completely stocked with your every need, from beach chairs to towels and extra toiletries if you forgot them. I cried when I left because it was just so relaxing and peaceful. Highly recommend to anyone who likes the slower pace of life looking to get away.

Overall: The house is cute and in a very quiet area, listing pictures are accurate. Yes, the view is incredible!Disapointments: The listing says the black sand beach is a 19 minute walk away - not true. The road is closed going down to the beach (and it's a STEEP dirt road) so it's closed to the public; there was no TV (I didn't notice this in the listing, my bad); no curtains so it's quite bright at 6:30 am; check out requirements include taking out trash, washing dishes and beach towels (should be part of cleaning fee); no internet service once you leave the house as well as no cell service at all until you get into Waimea which is 30 minutes away; not close to dinner restaurants. Some of these disappointments would have been deal breakers for us.Pleased With: Kitchen is a good size (but a little outdated); very thankful to have bottled water, gatorade, coffee, etc. provided; beds and pillows are comfortable; good internet in the house; good communication with the property manager.BEWARE: We were given two addresses...the listing address starting with "44" is wrong in several places - GPS directed us down a very dangerous one-lane steep CLOSED to non-local traffic dirt road into the Waipio Valley. We were in a sedan and incredibly fortunate we made it back up the hill (locals told us that was nearly impossible, many people have had to abandon their cars). Only the address provided in the Arrival Information Driving Directions (starting with "48") is accurate.

We had a relaxing stay. The bed was firm and extremely comfortable. Plenty of spices, and the space was extremely clean. We hung out on the Lanai and occasionally would see a whale off in the distance. Great host communication and would definitely come back again. Be advised no TV, however you can stream using your laptop.

Awesome!!!! Even better than the listing says!! We loved our time here, and it was totally private. We watched whales from the couch, too. Just remember to close the screen door to keep the gnats out! :-)
