This homestay features free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace. Everything perfect! Chris and Roxy became my family for a week. the house is very beautiful, clean and has a beautiful garden. Bus stop a few steps away, very useful for me as I didn't rent a car. The kitchen is super equipped and always clean, same thing for the bathroom. Room with a very comfortable bed and equipped with every comfort, same thing for the living room and other common areas! Staying with Chris and Roxy was very nice, more than the owners of the property, they are friends who open their doors to you and help you make and enjoy your stay on the Big Island in the best possible way! I highly recommend it to everyone and above all don't be limited by the fact that there is a dog in the house, Roxy is very sweet and good! Definitely if I were to return to Hawaii one day, I would still choose to stay with Chris and Roxy!

The Bamboo House

Kailua-Kona

The Bamboo House in Kailua-Kona provides adults-only accommodation with a garden, a terrace and a shared lounge. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are accessible at the homestay free of charge. All rooms are fitted with a balcony. The peacefulness of this accommodation is astounding. You feel like you've arrived at a spa. The rooms are large, bedsheets and towels made of premium quality, and quiet ambiance. There are two rooms on the top floor, so you are sharing the 'home' with another guest, but the wall are sp thick and you cannot hear into the other room. If you don't want to, you can easily keep to yourself and not run into the other guests. The owner lives on the first floor. My favourite part was the details - artwork from India, antique chairs from Indonesia, sunscreen and aloe vera in the bathroom for unlimited use, super stocked kitchen, etc. Highly recommend, wish we would have spend more than 2 nights here!

Only regret is we weren’t there for longer.

The hosts are friendly and have things nicely arranged and extra items for use such as folding chairs for outdoors, a beach umbrella and a small cooler. If we come back to the big island any time in the future we’d definitely stay here again.

Off-Grid Getaway with Ocean Views in Paradise

Pahoa

The homestay specialises in an à la carte and American breakfast and breakfast in the room is also available. In the warmer months, you can make use of the barbecue facilities and dine on the private patio. The porch and view are amazing. The big double doors that open from the living area were wonderful. There were toys and games for the kids. I would recommend this stay to anyone, especially families.
