Spectacular Views and Natural Beauty

The place was amazing - incredible views, well equipped, clean, responsive hosts, great location. If you are looking for a place with privacy, this fits the bill. You won't find many with so much nature all around on the islands. There's plenty of space inside but you also have a sizable lanai and the balcony to listen to nature and view it.

Views of nature from every window. Stunning view of the rainforest and ocean from the lanai.

Very helpful hosts. Quick to respond to questions. There is no more beautiful view in the world to match what you see from this house

The views from this property are stunning! We saw some of the most amazing sunrises here. The property is also very well appointed, with everything you need in the kitchen and even had blow dryers in the bathrooms. The onsite caretakers, Krystle and Alec were great at answering questions (including what was OK to feed the two resident donkeys)! The owner, Andrea, also answered questions promptly and provided great directions to the property. The location of this property was one of the best features to us. Close enough to Hilo but far enough away to feel like we were getting away from it all. The little town of Honomu is just minutes away and has a wonderful little café, The Hive. You are also minutes from Akaka Falls, and an adorable goat dairy where you can feed and play with baby goats. There is also a new convenience/hardware store not too far away so you can get some basic groceries without having to drive all the way to Hilo. “One Spot” is located at 28-2903 Hawaii Belt Road, Pepe’ekeo, HI. We loved our stay at this property and would not hesitate to come back.

Andrea was an excellent host and Krystle and Alec were friendly and helpful downstairs neighbors. This was a great place to stay in mid-summer with temperatures in the 70s during the day and in the 60s at night. It is perfectly situated for exploring the Hamakua Coast. Honoli'i Beach is only twenty minutes away and Hilo is just a little further for groceries. Kilauea, Mauna Kea, and Mauna Loa are only an hour away. We saw two eruptions and spent lots of time exploring lava fields and caves. While it is 15-acre property, it is not private. The rental space is directly above the living quarters for the on-site managers and with open windows you hear all their conversations, telephone calls, and TV programs. And they probably hear everything from upstairs.When we checked in Krystle warned us of low water pressure and this proved to be an issue for the duration of our stay. Water pressure was so low that it was only practical to shower if nobody else was using water at the same time. Using the toilet or the kitchen sink could bring the shower to a trickle or even a dead stop.While the property overlooks a vast swath of Hawaii, the design of the house does not provide easy access to the views. The living room is oriented to the interior rather than to the views. A bed on the lanai faces to the living room rather than to the view and further blocks the view from the living area. Where the master bedroom should have views to the ocean, it instead has a bathroom and closet.

Great place to stay and relax

My wife and I have stayed at numerous time shares on the Hamakua Coast and this one is now our favorite. The home is spacious and comfortable and the views are out of this world. Highly recommend this property.

The property was positioned high enough that you could see a large amount of the coastline.The unit had everything we needed in the kitchen and other rooms to make our stay very nice.

This property is beautiful, peaceful, and quiet. A good location from which to go to the Botanical Gardens, Akaka Falls, and to take the road north to Waimea. J&M Feb. 2025

Host and manager communicate well, house is well furnished and comfortable. Great views. Quiet location. Cute donkeys.

The views were stunning especially the sunrises…

We have stayed here a few times in the past. We typically love it. We enjoyed the house and the bbq grill and the sunrises as usual. Krystal was very responsive to any questions we had during our stay. During some extremely rainy days/nights we enjoyed watching some Netflix. When the weather was nice the views were phenomenal. The house is very peaceful. This was October 2024 and unfortunately there were a few days of some severe rainy weather that was unusual even for the rainy side of the big island.

Could not have asked for a more perfect vacation rental. Very well appointed and accommodating, beautiful view and location, so relaxing and fun. Wonderful hosts too!!
