Quiet oasis
Curt and Mitsuko's place is a slice of heaven. The view is spectacular, and the songs of the birds and other wildlife in the morning is wonderful. Curt and Mitsuko are even better hosts, they gave us some local suggestions and treated us with a fresh fruit plate from their garden. Waimea and Hapuna are excellent nearby activities, we would absolutely stay here in the future!

Kohola Studio
Kohola Ranch is a special place, if you have never been. This studio had fabulous ocean views, and was well equipped for basic kitchen use, etc. The hosts were available, friendly, and very welcoming. My only wish was that there were ceiling fans in the unit. This would have been a plus. Also: If mosquitos like you, be careful at dusk and dawn. Due to the watering of the plants right in front, there were large amounts of mosquitos , which made relaxing on the Lanai a no-go for me.

Kohalo studio
I loved Mitsuko's space. It is beautiful, peaceful, and a short drive to many gorgeous beaches. Most important, Mitsuko is kind and considerate and I felt completely at home and safe there. Also, we really appreciated the beach gear - big towels, snorkeling equipment, umbrellas (yes, you'll need them) and beach chairs. Thank you again for wonderful hospitality.

Mahaloa Whale Jump
Thank you, Mitsuko for being a great host and with a wonderful place to stay along the Kohala Coast on Big Island in Hawaii. She was most helpful and accommodating in our communications. Her place was better than expected with fabulous views of the ocean and volcanos. We most liked watching the sunsets from the multiple outdoor and covered lanai spaces. The location was good in proximity to many fine beaches and funky seafood bar restaurant in Kawaihae. Her studio apartment felt cozy and private. The hosts were graciously quiet living above. It is beautifully landscaped adding much color and bird song. It was very clean and neat upon arrival. The large sliding glass doors with screens provided good air circulation and wonderful views from inside as well. The kitchenette was well stocked with equipment for light cooking. The unit was well equipped for beach activities. We would happily use Mitsuko’s place again when visiting the NW part of the Big Island. Highly recommended for those seeking comfort, quiet and outstanding views. Cheers…. Jack B. Gloucester, MA

2 nights in a peaceful paradise!
My husband and I stayed here at the very end of our two week trip to the Hawaiian islands for our 30th anniversary! Wow! It was so beautiful with the view of the ocean in the distance and with all the flowering bushes and trees in the garden right off the porch.We loved it here and wished we could’ve stayed longer! Our hosts Mitsuko and Curt were so gracious and told us they weren’t expecting any guests right after us and we could take our time checking out and let us come back after going to the beach,which was well after the check out time, to shower before heading to the airport! Thank you so much Mitsuko and Curt!!!

Cockroaches and No Security
The good news is this property has amazing views, including Hawaii's famous sunsets. The bad news is we found cockroaches in our unit. Being concerned they may travel with us to our next destination, we cleared out first thing in the morning without staying our second reserved night. We would have left immediately upon finding the bugs but there was nowhere else to stay in the immediate vicinity. Secondly, the only entrance to the unit is through sliding glass doors that cannot be locked except when inside the unit. There was no security for our belongings when we were not present. Finally, if you want a place away from everything, this is a good option but there is nowhere to eat. There were literally only two options for dinner on the Saturday night of our arrival. One place had no openings for three weeks, and the other had a live band with a cover charge. We were two weary travelers just trying to get a bite to eat. We immediately communicated with the owners when we found the cockroach. (They live above the rented unit.) We told them we were leaving in the morning. They claimed to have never seen bugs. We had to scramble at the last minute to find a place to stay on our last night on the Big Island and of course had to pay a huge sum for a last minute booking. The owners refused to provide any compensation for the night we did not spend in their unit. While you may enjoy the quiet and the view, beware of the bugs, security, and the owners. Oh, and bring your own food.

Quiet with a View
Situated high up the slopes of the north end of the island; from the porch one can enjoy a panoramic view that includes sea, both Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, and all of the Kona coast. The studio is located on the lower level of a private home, and the hosts are most generous with little snacks, and in our case even first aid! Nearby are Spencer Beach, and an interesting ancient temple, other beaches along the north coast where whales can be seen. The town of Waimea has many restaurants and a farmers market mid-week. Kitchen is basic so don't plan on cooking any gourmet meals, just enjoy the peace, and watch the birds!

Large lots, very dispersed houses, great walking, dark enough for great stargazing and sunsets. Very clean with a nice ocean breeze at about 1000’ elevation, so the breeze was nice and cool. We will be back to this property. We’ve stayed in numerous locales on the big island and this beat them all.

Our time spent here was really nice. It is a good location….close to beaches and was a close to Hawi….which was a beautiful drive. The bed was super comfortable, the beach equipment was really convenient. We were a little concerned because all the doors didn’t lock, but the neighborhood seemed safe and we were able to use the broom handle in the sliding door.

Great location / Nice place
The studio is small but the wrap around lanai and the floor-to-ceiling garden/ocean view more than made up for that. Wireless worked fine, a/c was nice, bed was comfy. We appreciated all the linens in addition to beach towels and very nice beach chairs. The location was great for us -- a little isolated (in a good way) but close to our favorite beaches and snorkeling spots on the north Kohala coast.

Mitsuko and Curt are wonderful hosts who share not only their fabulous home(pictures do not do this property justice), but snacks, experiences, local recommendations for beaches and restaurants. This area is centrally located to Waimea, Havi, and South Kohala beaches. This is a place of peace and beauty that should not be missed!
