About this property
Charming Waimea home on the Big Island- Close To Town!
Your “home away from home” to a very charming 2 bedroom, 1 full bath home with lots of natural light located in beautiful Waimea. Our home has tile and bamboo flooring and a JOTUL gas fireplace in the open living room to keep you warm on those cool Waimea evenings. The master bedroom and second bedroom are generous in size with good closet space. Our home is surrounded by lush private landscape with fruit trees and flowering plants - lemon, apple, bananas, loquat, night blooming jasmine, ginger and bamboo and pasture land in the backyard where you can watch the cows graze. Enjoy the beautiful sunset and pasture views from the large covered deck located immediately off the kitchen, a quiet and relaxing spot to enjoy a hot cup of coffee in the morning or a nice glass of wine at sunset.
The kitchen and pantry offer lots of space for food storage and the home comes with a stackable washer and dryer. The one-car carport is easily accessible with a driveway. The climate in Waimea is perfect; cool mornings and evenings, occasional afternoon misty rains and beautiful sunny days! Enjoy the quiet evenings, the beautiful countryside and lush surroundings in a private and tranquil setting. You will find peace, serenity and plenty of comfort and space to call home while you are on vacation yet still just minutes from the historic and convenient town of Waimea. The town center offers many fine and unique shops, art galleries, farmer's markets and excellent casual and fine dining options. Explore everything the Big Island has to offer from the stars and planets at the Mauna Kea Observatory to the best beaches and golfing on the island.
So come and 'get away', unwind and relax in our warm and inviting home- so much so that you will want to return! We have spared no effort to make your stay as comfortable, memorable and welcoming as possible and look forward to sharing our Aloha with you.

About the host
Hosted by JoAnn Oto
Brent & JoAnn Oto, owners of the WaimeaPlantation Home, born and raised in Hawaii.
Why they chose this property
Located about 2,600 feet above sea level, Waimea is cooler than living along the coastline, yet is just a few minutes drive from some of the best beaches on island. It really is the best of both worlds! It is so beautiful with gingers, jasmine and green pastures and cool temperatures all year long. The beautiful lush and mature landscaping is a perfect private setting to sit and enjoy the views. Waimea is located between Hilo and Kona, so both sides of the island are easily accessible. The town is about 5 minutes away from the home.
What makes this property unique
Waimea is the land of rolling green hills, cowboys, and horses. We are blessed with truly beautiful landscape plus incredible views of the Kohala Mountains, Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Hualalai. Sit on the patio deck in the morning and evening and view the occasional cows grazing on a huge pasture behind the house. Very peaceful and quiet neighborhood where neighbors wave hello as they pass by. Lots of fruit trees and flowering plants.
