LATEST NEWS: VOLCANO ERUPTION
THE VOLCANO: The volcano eruption has little effect on our part of the island. The eruption is on the other end of the Island from our location. The trade winds blow most of the smoke to the southern end of the Island and has no impact on us at all. If the trade winds abate, we might temporarily get a little vog (fog plus smog). Otherwise, know that you are safe with us.

The View House is the epitome of graciousness, peace, quiet, and privacy. It is a tropical oasis on three acres of manicured grounds, fragrant flowers, and tropical fruit trees. The predominant colors are the crystal-clear blue sky, countless shades of tropical green foliage, and the deep blue-green ocean. The oxygen-rich air reaches the estate untainted over 2500 miles of the Pacific. The sunlight actually sparkles in the air at times. All these elements taken together create a Garden of Eden that you will never want to leave.
From the large, sweeping lanai (deck), Maui can be seen in the distance across the Pacific. The View House is a lovingly renovated and updated sugar company's employee's house, retaining the feel of a bygone era. Superbly crafted and furnished with tropical bamboo and teak furniture, it offers an elegant and light-filled space.
All water running into the house comes from deep Island aquifers and is double-filtered and pure. Floors are hardwood and tile. The house features a lovely bathroom with a soaking tub, a large, fully-equipped kitchen with Mexican counter tops, a master bedroom with a queen bed and ocean view, a small bedroom with twin beds and garden view, and a fold-out queen bed in the living room. Both of these rooms are available on the second floor.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE BASIC RENTAL HAS TWO BEDROOMS, AS DESCRIBED. TWO ADDITIONAL ROOMS are available for extra charges per night:
-- The Mermaid Room, a lovely, small room on the first floor of the View House has an orchard and ocean view. It has one twin bed. The bathroom facilities and spa are just outside the door to the room. $35 extra per night.
-- The Buddha Room, at the entrance to the property separate but adjacent to the View House, has a full-size (double) bed and 1/2 bath (toilet and sink). The shower facilities are 30 steps away on the spa deck. $50 extra per night.
** These rooms must be booked separately by contacting the owner directly.
With all spaces occupied, including the queen bed fold out in the living room, the possible total occupancy of the facility can be as many as eight people. (two in the master bedroom queen, two in the twin beds in the small bedroom, two on the queen fold out in the living room, one in the Mermaid Room and one in the Buddha room.)
For even deeper relaxation, guests at the View House have exclusive use of our spa. Our infrared sauna, hot tub, and cold tub sit on totally private decks, surrounded by lime and moringa trees. Guests will find an additional shower room and water closet in the adjoining tiled breezeway.
This property is our only rental. We are a small, private operation and offer a serene, safe, exceptionally clean environment in “old Hawaii,” off the beaten track. There is one other house on the 3-acre property where the property managers reside. They will be available should you need anything during your stay. The caretaker lives in a small trailer at the far corner of the property.
We are 4 miles from spectacular Waipio Valley and 4 miles from a historic small “sugar town” with all amenities. We are an hour from Kona and an hour from Hilo, making both sides of the Island accessible. The most common feedback we get is that the home and property are more beautiful than the photos.
If you are coming to the Big Island in search of beauty, peace, serenity, relaxation, and rejuvenation, you have found what you are looking for! Our part of the island still expresses traditional Hawaiian “Aloha,” and the View House is the culmination of your quest.
Please Note: The listed price is for two guests per night. There is an additional charge of $15/night per guest over two. For example, 3 total guests would incur a charge of $15 extra per night, 4 total guests would incur a charge of $30 extra per night, and so on…
