Now THIS is what VRBOs were meant to be! The property is even better than it looks like and if it seems to good to be true in the pictures just wait until you try Audreys amazing breakfasts while you gaze out over nearly the entire western side of the Big Island (and Maui!). So many great places to explore nearby. The Kohala coast was our favorite part of the island. Highly recommend taking a day trip up to the Pololu valley and checking out the amazing towns with great shops and cafes youll pass through. Live music at the Blue Dragon was great and a unique place to go. Mahukona beach park has the best snorkeling spot we found out of many spots we went to and its just a quick drive north. Spencer beach park was our closest sandy beach and probably our favorite overall because it was just so laid back (even had one afternoon with live music going!) And theres even a national park with arguably hawaii's most important historical place there. All of this is located just a short drive from where we stayed. Couldnt say enough good things about this stay and already recommended it to multiple friends and family who want to visit the big island.

We loved the views and the breakfasts were amazing. Audrey took wonderful care of us.

I'm not sure I can top all the other reviews, but I totally agree with them. This is a 5-star property and a 5-star experience! Everything was just wonderful! Our favorite parts were whale watching every morning (bring your binoculars!), the hot tub, and Audrey's wonderful breakfasts! The location was perfect to beaches, sights, and amenities. (We recommend eating at the Seafood Bar and Grill which is just five minutes away.) Thank you to Audrey for a wonderful stay! We would definitely stay there again!

We spent 5 nights and had another couple in the adjacent bedroom. Everything is as pictured and the hosts and ohana were wonderful. Audrey provides a fantastic breakfast with daily variations. Don't plan on cooking as the "butler kitchen" has a full size refrigerator and microwave and toaster. There is not stove or kitchen sink as Jerry and Audrey do the dish cleaning for you. A bathroom vanity is adjacent to the kitchen for water needs. The pool is unheated and that's just fine even for the last week of the year. The spa tub is for 2 or 3 persons.

Our second stay for our 10th anniversary and it couldn’t have been better. This property is hard to beat. Extremely clean, GORGEOUS views, sparkling pool and deliciously prepared breakfast daily. Mahalo Audrey. We hope to see you again!

We enjoyed our stay very much. Audrey was so welcoming yet very respectful of our privacy. The location great, pool just right and the view stellar. We already miss Audrey's breakfasts. She is an outstanding cook! Thank you for everything! We hope to return someday.

Our second week in Hawaii was spent at Audrey’s beautifully cared for B and B in Kohala Ranch five minutes above Kawaihae Harbor. She made sure we had everything we needed: spa operation instruction, kitchen basics, towels and beach gear. Audrey is an amazing cook. Every morning she brought over fruit and wonderful entrées, preparing a GF alternative for me every morning along with my husband's plate. We lingered over our meals on our west facing patio while enjoying the birds. The pool and spa are sparkling clean and refreshing and the view is expansive from Maui over your shoulder to Waikoloa beach area down the coast. After enjoying sunsets on the patio, we were treated to a night sky filled with stars and the milky way. It is so quiet and peaceful. We couldn’t have imagined a nicer stay. Don’t let figuring out where you are going to eat dinner be the reason you don’t pick Audrey’s B and B. There are a few places down by the harbor which we didn’t have a chance to try. But, we were only 15 to 25 minutes from some really good food and entertainment. This is where we ended up: Hawi-Bamboo Restaurant has great fish Blue Dragon- Th, Fri, Sat Dinner and a show Racha Thai in Waimea-food court but good Thai food Pueo’s-Italian up in Waikoloa Village Waikoloa -Swankier choices included Roy’s in Kings Market Place and the Kamuela Provision Co. at the Hilton. The Queens Market has a gourmet grocery with a ton of choices if you want to picnic on your porch. You are close to some of the Big Island’s best beaches. Because of my mobility issues we spent everyday at Spencer’s Beach Park. It is a great beach with gentle surf, shade and full bath/shower facilities. You are really close to Beach 69, a delightful beach in Puako area, and to the sweeping white sands of Hupuna and Mauna Kea Beaches. Audrey’s is also a great spot to use as home base if you are doing anything on the Hamakua Coast or up in the Cowboys country. Blue Hawaiian Helicopters are about 20 minutes south and Star Tours to top of Mauna Kea leave from Queen’s market area. Thank you Audrey for a terrific week in paradise.

the view was amazing Audrey is a wonderful hostess she goes above and beyond to accommodate you

The hospitality of Audrey coupled with the beautiful views really made our stay special. The room was nice and the pool was refreshing. If we make it back to the Big island again, we will be sure to see if this home away from home is available! Thank you Audrey.

Greeted with Aloha, you will find a beautiful and impeccable property in a very safe and peaceful setting. You enter into a gorgeous and quiet gated community and overlook an incredible 180-degree ocean view. Glorious stars fill the night sky in this spacious and rural area. The owners are warm and welcoming and live nearby on the property. Audrey considers any dietary needs and provides a fantastic breakfast delivered right to your front porch for enjoyment. A beautiful stay!

We stayed for 3 days and wish we had stayed there for our entire trip to the Big Island. The view, pool, hot tub, room, and view of the starts were excellent. Audrey was so welcoming, helpful, and made us a great breakfast each morning which included several tropical fruits (she had to tell us what some were). We were so glad we could borrow items (noodles, boogie boards, cooler, beach bag, snorkle/fins) for our beach excursions. Could not ask for more. Highly recommend to all.

Words cannot do Audrey’s place justice. The view of the ocean and THREE volcanoes is just something I never thought I’d be able to see. We had everything we needed, including beach items, breakfast bars and cereals, milk, juice, and coffee. And then, there’s Audrey’s breakfasts!!! Totally amazing. The fruit plate each day was just spectacular. We got so excited each morning to wake up and see what Audrey had prepared. Again, I cannot say enough great things about Audrey’s place. We dream of returning!

What a magical place to stay! The neighbors are friendly, and it felt so safe that we didn’t even feel the need to secure our belongings when we left! The VIEWS!!!! (Check out the stars late at night it’s amazing!) Everything exceeded our expectations from the food prepared for us to watching the sunset at the pool. But the most touching part of our stay was the loving kindness from Audrey and Jerry! They truly are special people and I hope to be able to meet again! Mahalo and thank you from Ohio/Michigan! Ps) Alan can’t wait to start beekeeping! ;) bye for now -Parish & Family.

Amazing panoramic views everywhere. Beautiful home, inside and outside. Very clean and well-maintained. Yummy hot breakfast with fresh fruit daily. And, last, but not least, Audrey and Jerry are wonderful hosts, warm, hospitable, and attentive. What's not to love?? I will return! 👍🏽👍🏽 Mahalo! Aloha

The view was breath taking, the host was incredible, and the room was very clean and tidy!

We were blown away with the view and so excited to see that this place was available for the time we were staying on the kohala coast. They were such wonderful hosts and so accommodating. We had a very early morning to go diving during our stay and not only did Audrey still make us a breakfast, but she went above and beyond with a packed lunch (and her homemade bread)!! If this place is available, book it. You will not be disappointed!

The time at this place was wonderful. A beautiful and clean home, with a panoramic view. You will meet the most thoughtful host that you can imagine. - Thank you for this experience!

We stayed five nights at the rental. Today is our last day. This place is magical. The panoramic view of the ocean, The impeccable cleanliness of the house, the hospitality of the hosts, everything is just pure perfection. Audrey makes the best breakfasts on the island! She even changes the menus every day and presents the breakfast like five star restaurants. My husband said a beautiful day starts with Audrey’s breakfast😍 we didn’t get to meet Jerry but he came in each day to pick up the dirty dishes, painstakingly not to bother us. They make us feel totally at home. I have asked all my friends to come. You just have to come to this place to see it for yourself! Mahalo Audrey and Jerry!

Clean, quiet, peaceful stay with an amazing view. Kind, helpful, respectful host. Highly recommend.

Really could not have asked for more. Audrey’s studio had the best of everything one wants in a VRBO stay. Quiet location, scenic, picturesque, comfortable accommodations, all the necessary amenities, outstanding hostess. Really wanted to explore this part of the Big Island, and what better place to pick as a home base. Centrally located on the Kohala coast, the studio was top notch, and will be included in all our future visits to Hawaii. Super time.

We would love to stay here again if we come to the big Island. The setting is beautiful , away from all the resorts and city and was so convenient to explore . Great sunsets and breakfasts. The host is so easy to communicate with and extremely considerate. Great experience

Our time at Audrey’s place could not have been better. Beautiful home, with an even better view. And the most thoughtful genuine host that we have ever stayed with. Will be back soon. Thanks again!

Everything was well prepared. Beautiful property, professional all around.

We gravitate to water and this spot was more than amazing. Audrey was a wonderful host and fun to talk with. We hardly wanted to leave the place during the day. We watched whales galore in the mornings while enjoying fabulous breakfasts. Whales all day long in February…beautiful sunsets and amazing stars. I hate to tell you that this place is a must, because we want to be able to book it in the future!,
