"Most amazing place we have ever stayed. Could not believe the oasis of a property!"

"Jim was a fantastic host who was very kind and understanding. We had an amazing experience and will definitely return here again."

"A beautiful property that is exactly as advertised. We stayed for 30 days and enjoyed it very much. "

"We have been to the Big Island many times and staying Waipio Gardens was one of the best trips we've ever had there. It is a beautiful property that provided serenity, great hiking and amazing beach time. The house is nestled in the jungle in the valley with gorgeous plants, fruit trees, lots of birds and even wild horses. We picked and enjoyed fresh oranges, grapefruit and papaya. The hosts, Sukumar and Kristi, were very helpful in the planning of the trip as well as ferrying us to and from the house. Getting there was indeed part of the adventure and this location provides the opportunity to experience a part of the island that most will never get to see. Would highly recommend!"

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful house in Hawaii. The property was spotless, beautifully furnished, and truly felt like a home away from home. The private pool was a standout feature—ideal for refreshing morning swims and tranquil afternoons. Surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, it provided a peaceful and private oasis. The house was incredibly spacious, with cozy bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and thoughtful details that added to our comfort. Best of all, the actual views exceeded our expectations—they’re even more breathtaking than the photos suggest. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax and recharge. Highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for a perfect Hawaiian retreat!"

"What a gorgeous house, and what an amazing garden. A short drive to Hilo and a shorter drive to other small towns worth a visit. Modest kitchen with most necessities, everything was clean and in great shape. Amazing beds and views. Very private from neighbors. A wonderful, comfortable stay. "

"It was a beautiful property. We had a wonderful time there. I ended up in the ICU and Kaia took great care of my friends. I would rent this again. "
