East Coast lodging

Everything was very modern and clean. It would be nice if there was a kitchen sink or basin in which to wash our dishes. A simple coffee machine would work better than a Keurig machine as there was only one pod per day and we enjoy a few cups of coffee throughout the day. A few extra utensils would also be handy as we like to cook our meals.

Quiet neighborhood Studio

Wonderful location away from the main towns but easily accessible to main highways that get to everywhere. Clean, quiet. Small so basically for either one person or a couple who likes to be close. It was just what we needed. A quiet place to go to after an active day of exploring the island. Owner very responsive to questions.

Perfect Stay

This Vrbo is perfect. The owners are super friendly and responsive to any questions you may have. They went above and beyond! We were on the island for a week and this is the perfect place to come home to and rest.

There is no Oceanview from unit, it is a room on the back of a garage with a garden view. The amenities are overstated. No kitchen, just a microwave, small fridge, coffee maker. Toaster. Only sink for food prep is the bathroom sink. Owner states hot plate and skillet available but there is no space to cook. Bed is a double shoved against a wall, meaning one person has to crawl over the other to get in and out. Had to put our luggage in the bathroom as no room in bedroom for luggage. No AC, and visiting in Dec, with windows open and 3 fans running, room was overly warm and stuffy. Much too small for our 6' bodies, perhaps okay for hobbits

About the host

Hosted by Karla Swarens

I'm your host, Karla. I've been a musician for many years and my husband, Jason does marketing for an online children's education company. We came to Hawaii on our honeymoon decided someday we would move here. So here we are. We fell in love with this part of Hawaii because it is so green and lush compared with Los Angeles where we spent so many years. We love the slower pace as well and we're extremely happy about the fact that we never sit in traffic anymore! :)
Jason loves the ocean and surfing. I love the mountains and hiking and there is no shortage of places to go on the island to keep us both happy.
We love exploring, meeting new people and sharing what we learn about the beautiful places we find along the way.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood, the fantastic ocean views and the peaceful community. Beautiful hikes that are walking distance from the house, or plenty of other Hamakua coast activities that are less than 15 minutes drive from the house. Our studio is a great place to make your 'base camp' where you can have a nice shower, get a comfortable nights sleep and then take day trips around the northern part of the island to see all it has to offer. We are out of town, but not so remote that we're completely isolated. The location is a good, happy medium.
