Book Paauhau hotels

This peaceful location was perfect for our week stay in Honoka'a. The house has an incredible view of the ocean, and everything we needed for our stay was provided by the host. The house is closer to the road than we had imagined, but the traffic is not too busy and it is quiet at night. We enjoyed fresh fruit harvested on the property every day. We especially enjoyed watching the birds, and we identified many colorful species. this is a great place to stay if you plan to visit the Hamakua Coast of the Big Island.

Adelina it’s so sweet and is such a joy to visit with. Really appreciate her willingness to host us in their quiet, peaceful little place.

Beautiful view, comfortable deck to sit and dial in the viewKitchen stocked with all amenities

Rachel was a wonderful host and the apartment was beautiful. The listing photos do not do it justice!

We were there Jan14-17 2026. It’s an older home tucked into a quiet neighborhood about 25 miles north of Hilo—so it’s a bit remote if that matters to you. We loved the location and neighborhood. As someone else mentioned, the interior has a cozy “Maine cabin” feel, but it’s nice and clean, with amenities as advertised. The deck is huge and very comfortable, with an amazing view over the North Pacific! The owners are great—very communicative and helpful. We left the doors open and screens closed all the time; it does not have AC, but it’s not needed, as the ocean breezes keep it cool day and night. We had no bugs. Enjoyed oranges from the tree on the grounds and had a nice visit with the neighbor/caretaker Lin when she stopped by with just-picked fresh fruit.

Very peaceful private location. Fantastic view! Nearby town had good restaurants for such a small town.
