Beautiful View • Close to Beach and Close to Town

This is a Hosted Property.
Recently constructed and fully remodeled 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 Smart TV (movies, tv shows and music channels). We recently installed A/C for those warmer summer months.

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, recently remodeled to include the guest cottage at one end of the house. I live in a separate wing on the other end of the L-shaped home. The two living spaces are separated by a covered lanai with fencing and landscaping providing privacy for each dwelling.

I respect my guestsʻ privacy and enjoy my own. I am also happy to answer questions you may have to help you enjoy your stay on the island. I will be happy to steer you to my favorite restaurants, beaches, walking trails and island adventures.

We enjoy gardening and have planted fruit trees and many flowers that attract abundant bird life. I'm happy to share fruit that is ripe during your stay, including banana, lilikoʻi, mango, papaya, avocado, lemon and lime.

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 most often sunny and warm with occasional island breezes. There are ceiling fans and air conditioning for additional cooling if needed. 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.

Homey and convenient
Loved that this property had absolutely everything you could want to have a very homey experience. We bought some groceries but the kitchen was very well stocked with condiments, oil, jam, cooking tools, etc. We also loved the various living spaces and the beach gear! Would definitely be great for travelers on a budget who want to cook all their meals and do some hiking or exploring on the north side of the island or in Waimea.

Catrinka’s Home away from home
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Catrina’s Hideaway this week. She provides all the creature comforts and more and we love the quiet pastoral atmosphere away from the hotel craziness. We woke to birds singing and enjoyed all the beautiful flowers. Check the cupboards and fridge before grocery shopping as many staples are available. Catrinka was a wonderful hostess. A great place to stay!!

Lovely stay!
We had a lovely stay in this beautiful setting! The kitchen equipment is super well-stocked and the area is full of farmers markets which makes cooking a joy. Also very close to amazing Kohala beaches. Great base for exploring the north of the island. Catrinka could not be a more warm and friendly host!

Peaceful Retreat
This is a great place to retreat to after a day of sightseeing. It is quiet, very clean and has expansive views across to Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. Good restaurants nearby in Waimea. You need a vehicle to get around. The host is very friendly and accommodating. It's not a resort - just what I was looking for!

Exceptional Stay !
Relaxing and quiet with a stunning view of snow-capped Mauna Kea. Catrinka is an excellent hostess who made sure we had everything we needed, and more. The location was perfect for all of our needs with the proximity to Waimea & Spencer Beach! We loved our relaxing, 2 week home away from home.

Perfect fit for a couple!
Catrinka was a great host and even met us with a couple fresh Mangos from her trees. She kept in contact to let us know which roads were closed due to wildfires and it was a memorable stay for us! Everything we needed was provided and the quiet peaceful location was perfect for our personalities!

Great place!!
This little place is just perfect for 2 people. Has everything you need as if you were moving into an apartment! There is even chairs to take to the beach, and there is a nice quiet beach nearby. If you need a nice quiet place off the beaten path and want peace this is it!!! We used the BBQ almost every night so didn’t spend lots of money dining out😀 I would definitely stay here again

The Location is Ideal for going to the villages of the North end of the Island both east and west.
Wonderful for a couple that likes to visit the small town museums and loves the cooler ranch country of Hawaii. We would come back again and again. Catrinka was so accomodating and helpful with everything. Great at hosting. We have been coming to this Island for more than a decade and half, and will continue to do so. This is now our go to location if available.

Cute house near yummy local spots!
We enjoyed our stay at this cute bungalow. Bed was comfy, loved the reading book and full length mirror in the closest and the views were spectacular and we enjoyed the location! It was close to the beaches and resorts as well as the yummy food places and farmers markets in town. Rental car would be a must though! Only downside is no pool but Spencer Park beach is super close and there’s a smaller more secluded beach next to it through the wooded area that’s awesome and not crowded.
