Serene, Restored House from Sugar Days with Sweeping Ocean Views

The View House has stunning views over the ocean and a private garden full of fruit and nut trees that guests can pick. The house is beautiful and welcoming, with a great deck, sauna and hot tub. The hosts are wonderful and very knowledgeable about local places to visit. Its location is strategically placed between Kona and Hilo, the biggest towns. We could visit all the key sites like the Volcano National park, Botanical Gardens, waterfalls, fabulous beaches, black sand beach, etc. in one day. Our vacation was perfect- the trip of a lifetime!

Wonderful property, just like the pictures. I truly loved everything about this place.

Really enjoyed the views off the back deck and the hot tub was great at night when we arrived home from a long day of adventure!

My husband and I were looking for a place to crash while visiting the Big Island and honestly didn't know what to expect when we booked this place. It was such a fun little stop in our trip! The property was gorgeous - so many fruit trees, wildlife, and views! The house was just right for the two of us and was a comfy place to spend a few days. We really appreciated the small touches during our stay, including the fresh fruit bowl upon arrival (picked from the trees on the property), the fully stocked kitchen, beach towels, and a cooler/ice packs for us to use! We would definitely recommend staying here, especially if you're hoping to get away from the busyness of Kona/Hilo and explore some different landscape. Two thumbs up!

The property was exactly as it was described in the listing. It is a large property with a grassy area and lots of trees. We enjoyed the jacuzzi and the beautiful view of the ocean. There were many windows in the house which created a wonderful breeze. The town of Honokaa is quaint with several cute shops.

We were so pleased with our stay. The property was very well maintained, clean, beautiful and comfortable. The amenities were great. We loved the hot tub and sauna and extra bathroom, laundry and shower in the breezeway. There were fresh flower arrangements and a bowl of fruit waiting for us at check in which was very appreciated. We have lived in this area before and always appreciate being able to visit Waipi’o Valley, one of the most beautiful and sacred places on the island, which is just 7 minutes up the road. The weather is always terrific on the Hāmākua Coast. We were able to get down to Hilo for the Merrie Monarch Ho‘olaule’a one day and over to Kona the next day. The kitchen was well equipped and helped us feel at home to be able to make a meal at the end of the day. This is a great location and property we hope to stay during our next visit.Mahalo nui loa,Dave

A vacation here is truly an enriched escape to alost era of civility, solitude as needed, consistentinvolvement with nature, with most gracious andInformed hosts. The property is beautifully designedand finished to provide all comforts as well as aninvolvement of the environment. The town of Honoka’a is an additional blessing.

Great and serene space, had all you need in the house

This peaceful location was perfect for our week stay in Honoka'a. The house has an incredible view of the ocean, and everything we needed for our stay was provided by the host. The house is closer to the road than we had imagined, but the traffic is not too busy and it is quiet at night. We enjoyed fresh fruit harvested on the property every day. We especially enjoyed watching the birds, and we identified many colorful species. this is a great place to stay if you plan to visit the Hamakua Coast of the Big Island.

We had a wonderful 28 days at this beautiful home! This was our 3rd stay! We especially enjoyed the beautiful view, orchard with fresh fruits and the hot tub! The home was clean and had everything we needed! We enjoyed Honokaa and the Hamakua golf course too!! We enjoyed ourselves so much that we are already booked to come back next year!! We also want to thank Marcus and Shigeko for being so welcoming and helpful!

Privacy, view, everything!

Perfect for us. We loved walking the grounds, picking fresh fruit for breakfast on the deck facing the ocean, and the private hot tub. Comfy beds and solid kitchen plus lots of beach stuff to borrow. Nicely quiet at night (if you don't mind nature noises). Really nice touch to have a full welcome fruit bowl to enjoy during out stay.

Beautiful space. Nice and clean. Beautiful views. We used the mermaid room for our fifth person rather than having people sleep in the living room. Friendly caretakers.

Cool place, great backyard, smaller interior than I expected but accurately represented in the ad. I misunderstood that there is only 2 bedrooms included. Owner was very nice as was the caretaker

The property was great! Very relaxing yet still had all the essentials. It was super fun walking the property and enjoying all the fresh fruit! Star gazing in the hot tub was also enjoyable. Overall we enjoyed our stay so much & had so much fun exploring the big island. Only downside is the closest beach is about a 20 minute drive and there is no AC so it can get warm during the day, but wasn’t a problem at night.

Everything was present as advertised, and the spa facilities were a nice addition to the house, considering there is no nearby beach access, although maybe not quite as high-end as one may expect based on other spa experiences. The views were amazing, and the house was charmingly decorated and furnished. We had a great stay here!

The house, view, garden, and hosts were amazing. Great view of everything from the ocean to the night sky. House was clean and hosts were very informative about location, directions and gave us a great place to explore the rest of the big island.

Wonderful home in a great location. We loved the views, the peaceful atmosphere and the fresh fruit from the orchard.

Lovely restored home with lots of windows to enjoy the lush landscaping and ocean views.The landlord provides everything you need. Nearby Honokaa old town is lovely.My favorite part of the house was the peaceful location, the ocean breezes, the cleanliness of the home, and the stars at night. It was easy to get to Volcano national Park, state park hiking, beaches on the southwest side, and my favorite coffee shop in Waimea.Would love to visit each year!

This is our second stay at the property. It’s got a lovely back porch and view! We love walking the grounds and plucking fruit off the trees to sample!

We had a relaxing stay at the View House. It's located close to Honoka'a to get goods, if needed, and also convenient to explore Waipi'o Valley. The house and grounds are as advertised. We took advantage of all of the fresh fruit available. Lots of orange juice and lemonade during our stay! The breeeze coming off the ocean is lovely.

Excellent property and host! Doesn’t get much better for easy living in HI. THANK YOU again!

My husband and I were looking for the perfect place to stay, and Wow! did we find it! The property is spectacular with a treasure trove of fruit and nut trees to discover.The hosts are thoughtful and provided a wonderful experience. The hot tub, sauna and cold plunge were a great way to restore. Each day we spent on the lanai for our meals enjoying the sweeping views. We can’t wait to return!

Relaxing location on a lsrge property inunspoiled countryside. Sauna and hot tub were excellent amenities

This was our second stay at this beautiful property. We stayed for 3 weeks and enjoyed every minute! We had everything we needed at this lovely home. We loved the hot tub especially in the evening when we could star gaze! The sky was beautiful! We were a short drive to Honokaa and played several rounds of golf at the unique golf course (Hamakua country club). Overall, we had the most wonderful time and are planning on returning next year! Mahalo!

A beautiful property that is exactly as advertised. We stayed for 30 days and enjoyed it very much.

We arrive around 9:30pm, everywhere pitch black, but the house felt warm and welcoming, right away. After the sunrise we definitely appreciated the views of the house, the grounds and generosity of the owners, regarding the fruits of their orchard, all were great. The outdoor hot tub, and the private sauna were also, delightful and very soothing. The local scene in Honoka'a is limited in terms of things to do, but all around nature is the star. I played/walked the 9hole course in town, and the hilly course took the wind out of me a couple of times. Overall, a great experience, and when we come back we will stay with Marcel and Connie, and Shigecko and Marcus! (apologies if I misspelled Shigecko's name)

Marcel & Connie were amazing hosts. The Peace Garden was a great way to spend our last week on the Big Island. The view from the front of the house AND the master bedroom are crazy beautiful and having full use of the spa (sauna/hot tub/cold plunge tub) made the whole trip. It was great knowing, no matter how far we drove or hiked during the day, we had that to come home to. The view house was perfectly sized for two people and well stocked. We were also given free rein to wander the property and pick any fruit we cared to. All in all a great experience!

We enjoyed the solitude and beauty of this place. Plus, bonus roommates with all of the geckos that find their way inside and watch you from above! A wonderful place to stay.

What a wonderful surprise to find everything exactly as described. We loved our visit! So sweet and serene!🙏🌺💯

This was our second stay at this property, and we enjoyed it just as much as our first stay. The kids loved playing in the orchard and sampling the fruit. The adults enjoyed the hot tub and the views. The house was well-equipped, including beach umbrella, chairs, boogie boards, cooler, and beach towels. It was a little cramped with 6 people this time, but very manageable as the kids didn't mind sleeping on the living room futon at all. I continue to recommend this property. It's a lovely slice of rural Hawaii, complete with lots of gecko friends, an orchard, and beautiful ocean views.

Nice vacation house. Beautiful grounds and view from the lanai.

We enjoyed our stay here with the gorgeous view. The property had mature lime and avocado trees and grounds were well maintained. Felt private and worked well for a romantic getaway. The sofa needs updated. Thanks to Marcus for the extra effort so that we had power during hurricane Hone.

This was a very comfortable stay! We were a family of 4 with family in Waimea, which is close enough to get to easily, and little farther for beaches. The place was clean and the beds comfortable. The wifi and cable worked wonderfully! We loved waking up to the ocean view, and the spa features were delightful. Thank you! Only recommendation would be a laundry basket, as the laundry is outside the house near the spa.
