The property is located above Kona, basically it is far enough away to be quite and relaxing but still close enough to conveniently get to the airport or to Kona (maybe a 10 min. drive). View from the property towards Kona and the ocean is just perfect, especially at sunset. The apartment we stayed in was very spacious had a... More

The owners of this ranch are so welcoming and knowledgable. They are willing to give you advice on anything about the island or your vacation. They truly make the ranch great! The property is up the mountain from downtown Kailua Kona and it only takes about 10 minutes to be right in the middle of Alli drive. But it is... More

To live in one of the very nice houses of the “silver oaks ranch” was a real privilege. Anything you could imagine for your holidays was there: Nice gardens and large property, large terrace, sea view, whirlpool, perfect TV screen, DVD, comfortable bed, various machine, cats, goats, horse and donkeys, birds and flowers. The hospitality of Amy and Rick was... More

We had a wonderful stay at Silver Oaks for 10 nights in January. This place has everything you could ask for, and Amy&Rick are fine hosts. The location is great, 1500 ft above the seashore with a view of the ocean by day and Kona lights by night. It is a quick 10-15 min drive down to Kona. Access towards... More

I am writing this at the end of our 10 day stay at Silver Oaks, using a computer that our hosts lent us for the duration of our stay (how nice is that!). It's hard to find something to say that hasn't already been said about staying here. In it's simplest form, everything you read before this review is true.... More

Wow. As the guidebook says, "Book this Place!" My only hesitation in writing this review is that I don't want to have more competition when getting a reservation next time. This place is perfect for a small family wanting a unique Hawaii vacation with access to the beach but the seclusion, beauty and quiet of your own ranch. I went... More

My husband and I spent five wonderful days at the ranch. The accomodations are clean and comfortable. The setting is beautiful, peaceful and quiet. Our cottage was well-stocked; from linens and dishes to beach gear, books, DVDs, binoculars and more. Rick and Amy have made their cottages so comfortable, we had to push ourselves out the door to tour the... More

Upon entering, we knocked on Amy's father's door by accident. He was super nice and offered us two fresh oranges and then took us to see Amy and Rick. We were a bit early but because no one had reserved the Garden Cottage the day before, early check-in was no problem. Rick and Amy were incredibly nice and showed us... More

We stayed at Silver Oaks Ranch for 5 days during our trip to the Big Island and Kauai. We arrived in Kona after 5 days at the Grand Hyatt, Kauai. It was a totally different experience. We chose Silver Oaks because my daughter, age 4 LOVES animals and we wanted something different from the average resort experience. My daughter was... More
