Simply excellent. The many 5 star ratings are well deserved. The location was perfect for following the sunny weather wherever it maybe. The house was clean, well equipped, comfortable and felt authentic. Richard was a great host, both before and during our trip. He afforded us privacy and providing local insight as needed.
Thank you Richard.

Great hidden spot. Has everything you need. Fans in every room but does get warm during the day but we were out exploring so not as warm in late afternoon/early evening. About 30 to 45 minutes to restaurants and shops. Macadamia factory/shop is close to house. Koholoa Burger and Taco is good for quick lunch and ice cream.

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.

Fantastic sunset views from beautiful garden and lawn. Perfect for a family of four. Well equipped kitchen, comfy for downtime. Plenty of beach toys. Great location north of Kona, enjoyed the dark, starry skies. Good communication with owner. Highly recommend.

The property had everything we could ask for. The foliage made it seem we were secluded. I had originally booked this property prior to COVID and then everything shut down. Owner was amazing with communication. Would stay again.

This is what a Hawaiian home should be. Lots of great air flow, beautiful lani, and a great ocean view. We'd stay here again.

This was our 4th time on the Big Island and was my favorite lodging so far - would love to stay again. There are a variety of hang-out spaces throughout the house which was nice for our group to be able to spread out. The views are spectacular, and the property feels very private despite having neighboring houses (well-blinded by fences/plants). The landscaping is really unique and well-maintained. The beds were comfortable, and the shower had great water pressure. Well-stocked kitchen supplies and beach gear made our trip even better! The location is great as it's not a far ride to Waimea where you can find major grocers/pharmacies and great restaurant options.

Beautiful beach cottage with lots of charm and character. Great view of the ocean. The house has everything you need. Richard is a great host and communicator; very nice and accommodating. The house does get hot during the day, but it cools down quickly at night. It shouldn't be a problem if you plan to do activities outside the house during the hot hours of the day. Again, great house and wonderful host.

After three days of family wedding festivities, this was the best place to stay. Quiet, nice house and great view. No AC, but plenty of fans, breeze from the ocean, and cool evenings. Even some Geckos outside to delight my grandson.

This house was perfect for our family vacation! Awesome beachy decor gives the home a surf shack vibe, but nicer! Comfy beds and pillows, great water pressure, loads of books about Hawaii, sand toys, beach towels, coolers, snorkel stuff, just bring your suit! The perfect location for exploring Kohala and areas North of the big resorts. We didn’t want to leave!

Richard is an exceptional host. His home is impeccably clean and well maintained. We loved the open kitchen area and outdoor porch seating which overlooks the professionally landscaped backyard complete with relaxing lounge chairs, mature shade trees, exotic orchids, and plenty of native plants. The unobstructed views of the ocean, especially at sunset are stunning and tranquil. Inside, Richard has paid attention to every detail making this our favorite vrbo of the trip. We were greeted with cold Corona beer and water in the fridge and a very clean and well stocked kitchen. The sleeping arrangements were perfect for our family of 5. The beds were comfortable, sheets were crisp, and pillows were plentiful. The bathrooms had ample fresh towels and travel toiletries.
Richard supplies wake boards, beach towels, coolers, beach umbrellas, and an assortment of snorkle gear. He provides resources on local activities and books on native flora and fauna. Conveniently located within an easy drive of Waimea and Kailua-Kona. Richard's Kohala Estates home is quintessential 'Old Hawaii' at its best! We would not hesitate to stay here again!

Our family really enjoyed our stay. Richard had the house nicely designed and prepared. We stayed for a week and took a day trip each day to explore the northern part of the island.
5.0
We had a terrific stay at Richard's home. We loved the openness of the kitchen/dining/living areas and the privacy of the bedrooms. The house is very comfortable and we used almost all of the space during our 5-day stay (we did not use the third bedroom since we were just a party of 3). The yard is also beautiful and incredible for watching the amazing sunsets. We've been to the Big Island multiple times and we keep coming back to this area because of the proximity to the beaches, towns like Hawi and Waimea, as well several nearby establishments and attractions in Kawaihae. Richard was easy to communicate with and provided lots of helpful information. The library he has created in the house is awesome! No reservations at all in recommending this home to others.

Loved this house! If you are looking for a relaxing vacation away from city life, this place is for you. The sunset views are amazing, we made sure we were back at the house each evening to enjoy the view. Plus, there are some great sandy beaches near by, be sure to check out Hapuna and Mauna Kea beaches. The house is stocked with beach chairs and umbrellas.

We wholly enjoyed staying at this home and actually wondered if we should have stayed there our entire trip! (Our final 3 days we spent in Kona.).
Would recommend this stay to friends and family. It’s very private, the neighborhood is generally quiet as well (some local dog/pet noise.). We found a public shoreline access trail maybe a quarter mile from the house that we had entirely to ourselves! The view is fantastic and the house had all the amenities we wanted. (Do note the beach gear!).
Loved it. Only detractor from 5 stars would be the cleaning price (but I get it, depending on groups/beach usage,) and a short drive to get into town.
