Lovely but . . .
This is a good house for 6, possibly 8 people. We found three bedrooms and two baths and a half-bath; a big yard for picking fruit and tossing a ball around; an airy well-stocked, open-plan kitchen, dining area and lanai; a comfortable upper deck with view; a fun pool and hot tub; a local, old Hawaii ambiance throughout. Nice. We felt, however, that the listing misrepresented the other sleeping areas or we should have read the descriptions more carefully. For example, the garden room/cottage has no windows/ventilation, the bunk bed was shaky and unusable, and its “cabana half bathroom” really was a pool changing room. Those staying in the cottage had to make a long trek into the house to find a more private bathroom. The blue room felt like you were sleeping in the garage, and the entry leisure area was the garage. The house is not child-proof (open bag of ant poison, etc.). The blue outdoor picnic tables were broken and splintered. The sand pool was murky. The photos for the listing should be updated (landscaping has grown, rooms are worn). We would have appreciated having a welcome tour to better understand the layout of the house and the pool instructions. We felt maintenance had been neglected before our visit, and our group of ten was disappointed with some aspects of an otherwise lovely and fun Hawaiian house.

Family Reunion
The home was perfect for our three generations gathering; spacious, comfortable and well equipped in a gorgeous setting. The pool and surroundings felt like our own private resort. We loved the proximity to the many sites and wonders found on the east side of the Big Island.

About the host

Hosted by Anthony Stampfer

Host profile image
I am from England and have lived in the USA since 1983. My wife is from China and we have been together since 2003. We both love all the Hawaiian Islands, but have our hearts truly set with The Big Island of Hawaii, where we have spent many happy times since 2003. We give back to the local community and encourage others to. I used to be a teacher, am a musician of sorts (hobby), and love to read real books.

Why they chose this property

This property stood out to us as a place with enormous potential. Our agent initially discouraged us from buying such a big place,(3200 sq ft and an acre ), due to the running costs. We had our hearts set on Honomu Place from the first glimpse. We have worked hard, and it's been a true labor of love, to make a vision become real.

We wanted to have a tropical resort feel to our home, with rich and comfortable furnishings, to give a feeling of luxury and an ambiance of serenity. We have achieved this and all our previous guests have given us five star reviews, ( sorry, on different website ) we are new to Homeaway.

Our strength is in the quality of the home, with gorgeous pool, jacuzzi, slde etc, and in the warm special Aloha welcome each guest receives upon arriving.

The surrounding area is one of the most classically beautiful in all the Hawaiian Islands. Close by are waterfalls, scenic drives, palm forests, Rain forest, Zip line, breath taking views, swimming parks, and all the shopping places you could want.

What makes this property unique

The home itself is comfortable and every area has a unique cared for ambiance that radiates welcome, relax, sit and be happy and calm here.

Our pool has a water slide and adjoining sand paddle pool and hot tub ( jacuzzi ).

Our garden has 8 kinds of edible tropical fruit and tropical flowers and trees. We have ocean views.

We are world travelers and we know exactly how it feels to receive a kind, generous, thoughtful, embracing welcome. We go out of our way to ensure our guests have a unique and memorable vacation. We pretty well make CERTAIN it happens !!!
