Overview
Newly built 1 bedroom cottage on 3 acres. Beautiful views, close to the beac
Newly built 700 square foot self-contained living space in a private, separate wing of the house. The bedroom and living areas are filled with light, looking out to gorgeous views of the three mountains - Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa and Hualalai. Enjoy the fully equipped kitchen, dining area, cozy reading nook in the living room, spacious bedroom with walk-in closet, brand new bathroom with walk-in shower, wireless internet and Direct TV (movies, tv shows and music channels).
The teak bench in front of the cottage is a perfect place to sit and watch the clouds play over Mauna Kea. Out the back door off the kitchen, there is a new gas barbecue and table and chairs for dining or enjoying sunsets or the bright starry nights. There is also a storage chest full of beach chairs, boogie boards and snorkel gear for your use.
Our 3-acre property has a large house we recently remodeled to include the guest cottage at one end of the house. My husband and I live in a separate wing on the other end of our L-shaped home. The two living spaces are separated by a covered lanai with fencing and landscaping providing privacy for each dwelling.
We respect our guestsʻ privacy and enjoy our own. We are also happy to answer questions you may have to help you enjoy your stay on the island. We will be happy to steer you to our favorite restaurants, beaches, walking trails and island adventures.
We enjoy gardening and have planted fruit trees, some vegetables and herbs and many flowers. You are welcome to share fruits and vegetables that are ripe during your stay - we often have bananas, lilikoʻi, or papaya and fresh herbs.
Situated on the 'dry side' of Waimea, we are half way between Kawaihae and Waimea town, ten minutes drive from both. The best beaches on the island are 10-15 minutes away.
Located at 1800 foot elevation, our days are sunny and warm. Temperatures cool down in the evening - perfect for a good nights sleep. Cardinals, doves, finches and other birds fill our quiet 3-acre property with song.
About Catrinka Holland
After living in the Sierra Nevada for 30 years, John & Catrinka came to Hawaiʻi in 2007.
Catrinka Holland purchased this cottage in 2012
Why Catrinka Holland chose Hawaii
We love the quick and easy access to both town and beach. This is our favorite climate zone with warm sunny days and cooler nights. It took us five years to find just the right place - 3 acres on a quiet street with expansive views out to three mountains, and space and sun to grow mangos, papayas, bananas, avocados and lilikoʻi. We love the community of Waimea and the great snorkeling beaches just down the road.

Gorgeous views! Sublime! Immaculate !
Zen...and more! This rental lived up to all our expectations. As first time users of HomeAway we were not so sure of what would be the actually reality to the pictures and description. But Catrinka Holland has put a stamp on all the important details and more. #1. It was immaculately clean and fresh. #2. The views were outrageous! #3. It was centrally located with easy access to both beaches and town. We loved the lavender gardens and waking to the gentle song of birds. The kitchen was well equipped and there was snorkeling and beach gear available. The bed was super comfortable and sleeping at night with the breeze was fantastic! Just a very lovely, memorable experience and we would definitely return and highly recommend. As with any where in Hawai'i, internet can go down and did here for a short period but it just gives you more reason to check out and reconnect with live people. Very special place !!! Peaceful and makes you stop and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us all.
Absolutely PERFECT !!!
LOVED LOVED LOVED this perfectly located quiet and comfortable cottage. It had everything we needed and we'll be back as soon as we can! Catrinka and John are fantastic hosts. There if you need them and invisible when you don't !!! Thank you for the perfect stay!
Love this place
We come to the Big Island often and this has become our favorite place to stay. We love the easy access to great snorkeling all along the Kohala Coast combined with the ease of getting to good restaurants and shopping in Waimea town. Waking up early to see Mauna Kea tinged pink by the sunrise is a treat. It's so peaceful here, we can rest and rejuvenate from our busy lives at home. The cottage has everything we need including a well equipped kitchen, eclectic selection of books and magazines, games, dvds, cable tv and beach equipment. Catrinka is very friendly and helpful when we ask for anything, but is never intrusive. We already made our reservations for next year's visit.
Wonderful place to stay!
I would highly recommend staying here. It is very peaceful (and clean) with a beautiful view, yet still close to beaches and the town of Waimea. We had lots of privacy but Catrinka was very helpful (and informative) when we needed help and also very thoughtful. Thank you again Catrinka and John!
Awesome
Wonderful house, location and hosts.
Beautiful, peaceful, close to beaches and town.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Catrinka and John's. We've stayed in alot of vacation rentals. This was the sweetest. Comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen, very clean, quiet peaceful, close to town and beaches. And the nicest part was Catrinka, gave us lots of privacy but always quick to respond if we needed her. We'd absolutely go back there.
Map
The Kohala Coast has some of the best beaches in Hawaii 10-15 minutes away. Excellent for snorkeling and scuba and enjoying the sand and surf. The town of Waimea, just 10 minutes away, has excellent restaurants (many utilizing farm to table fresh ingredients), the Kahilu Theatre with world class entertainment, grocery stores, drugstore, hospital, local cultural events, several weekly farmers markets, parks, and shopping. The little town of Kawaihae is 10 minutes drive in the other direction and also has some great restaurants, a great place to buy fresh fish, the Puʻukohola Heiau national park and picnic tables by the bay.
