Studio Kohala Big Island Ocean View
The location was up the hill, with beautiful views and great stargazing, too, due to being on the north part, away from city lights. It was perfect for a night after a day of exploring the Kohala area and north.

Inspired 1-BR, Magic Gardens, Stream and Waterfall
What an absolutely delightful stay! This was our favorite place of all during our week on the island. We loved the decor and of course the gardens. The location was perfect for us. The only thing lacking was more time on our agenda for a longer stay. Mahalo Darin!
