Richards place is surely a gem. We had great weather and was able to enjoy the local group of turkeys that visited on a daily basis. Richard is a great host and even notified us that the house was available early. Rooms were very comfortable.

The host communicated before the trip letting us know the property was ready a few hours early. The house was awesome! Central location for all the activities we wanted to do on the island, beautiful sunsets from the ocean view in the front yard. We would stay there again if we go back.

Sunset paradise

We absolutely loved staying here. The nightly sunsets were stunning. We loved all the amenities in the kitchen as we cooked and/or grilled each night. We made use of the cooler, blankets and chairs for our daily visits to the beach. We enjoyed coffee and reading on the deck every morning. We loved our time on the Big Island.

Great property with stunning view

The house was excellent, well-equipped, clean and had an amazing view of the ocean from the lounge, deck and lawn. We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, beach gear and laundry. The host, Richard, was lovely to deal with and gave us some great tips. The location was a short drive to some of Kohala's best beaches. We enjoyed the funny turkeys that hung around and would love to come stay again in the future, mahalo
