Came with friends to celebrate a friends 50th birthday. Jim and Amy were very welcoming, they made themselves available by text if anything was needed and responded promptly but otherwise left us to ourselves to enjoy the property and each other. They have a sweet little orchard where we were welcome to pick and enjoy starfruits. Kind family, lovely stay (:

About the host

Hosted by Siu Ping Chan

Host profile image
It's a pleasure to allow us to introduce ourselves. My name is Jim Lee, the owner of this property along with my wife, Amy. In 2005, we moved to the Big Island from the San Francisco Bay Area and loved living here in this paradise since. We are both college and university graduates. I graduated with an AA degree in Hospitality/Culinary Art and an AS degree in Psychology. My wife, Amy, has a BA degree in Chinese. Previously we owned a Bed and Breakfast and had served many happy guests from around the world. With our prior hosting experience, we hope you find confidence in choosing us as your hosts during your next vacation. Aloha!

Why they chose this property

Many moved to Hawaii for emotional reasons. For us, it was for practical ones—to stay away from heavy traffic, cold weather, and high cost of living, just to name a few. We found very early on that it is very affordable to own a piece of land in this paradise and the potential of what one can do with it. My wife enjoys gardening and planting, but with the limited amount of living space it was a hobby she could not pursue when we were living in a townhouse on the Mainland. Now, it is a great joy to see her being able to harvest fruits and vegetables and share with our friends and neighbors.

What makes this property unique

We built this house with the intention of educating our guests about the Big Island in mind during their stay here. You will notice some of the details we put in such as the natural materials used to build the lanai columns, the paintings displayed, the giant map of the Island of Hawai'i depicted at the entrance way are all that will sure spark your curiosity about this island.
