Pink house

Loved our stay! Very relaxing country feel but close to Hilo and activities. House is beautifully decorated and has all needed amenities. Just need to be aware that two of the bedrooms are walk through with the first having the bathroom in it. Fine for families but may be a little ackward if staying with friends. Views are amazing! And i loved sitting on the patio reading a book listening to nature.

Beautiful View

My wife an in laws stayed here for 3 days and it was beautiful. The house was nice with a big kitchen. It was away from other houses so you couldn't hear anyone else. But the view of the ocean and the sunrise were to die for. Great stay and 10/10 would recommend

Beautiful Views off the Beaten Path

We were a little surprised by the access to this property. It was off the main road down a long bumpy unpaved pathway. What we didn't expect was to share the property with more than just the caretaker. There were 2 others (I believe) who also lived there. The laundry was outside and shared by everyone. If sleeping in "the quiet room" it is alarming when they start laundry at 6:30-7 in the morning as there is a door to the bedroom right next to the laundry. There are technically 2 bathrooms in the home and 3 showers which worked well for us as we were traveling with a friend. You had to go through 1 bedroom to get to the other or go out the patio. It wasn't quite what I expected, but we made it work.

Beautiful house but needs more attention to details.

It was an absolutely beautiful house and a has a lot of space. The house has great potential but maybe since it's a big house, certain cleaning details are overlooked.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Nelson and Sharon Gill

Sharon and I worked professionally in New York and Washington before building this home in Hawaii, and spend most of our time here since retiring.

Why they chose this property

Sharon and I built this beautiful, spacious home on 7 acres in 2003 to fulfill a dream of living in Hawaii. Our home takes advantage of an incredible view 5 miles north of Hilo on the Hamakua coast, up slope from the scenic drive and Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden. .
Come share our neighborhood with the farms, local horses, space and quiet while you appreciate what we feel is the best of Hawaii. You are close to many of Hilo’s local activities, and within easy traveling distance to the Volcano sights, waterfalls and lush vegetation and attractions of our coast.
We offer an extremely spacious main living house area that mirrors the space of our outside view, and an ohana next door for a smaller living option. We love the sunrises over the water, the constantly changing weather, and the sunsets over the mountain. We hope you enjoy this place as much as we do.
