We stayed at the Silver Oaks ranch this past April, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Rick and Amy were gracious hosts and ensured that our stay with them was as comfortable as possible. Silver Oaks Ranch is a very calm and relaxing place, we especially enjoyed being surrounded by countryside, and loved listening to all the birds and watching the... more

What a wonderful experience! Silver Oaks Ranch is listed in Frommer’s tour book and, after checking out the Trip Advisor website, we made reservations for the Ranch House Cottage. Amy greeted us upon arrival, and both Rick and Amy stopped by each day to check that everything was OK and offered suggestions of where to eat, snorkel, shop, etc. The... more

Our stay at Silver Oaks Ranch was great. The best part is how comfortable Rick and Amy make you feel without being too "there". The cottages were comfortable and the breakfast fruit from right there at the ranch, and the farm fresh eggs and other food they brought to the cottages made a great breakfast. We didn't use the pool... more

We have just returned from a week at Silver Oaks Ranch in Kailua Kona Hawaii. The "ranch" consists of the home of the owners, Amy and Rick Decker, as well as several free-standing rental units. Animals on the ranch include many miniature goats, a horse and miniature donkey, free range chickens, and a "band" of several bachelor turkeys who promenade... more

My wife and I just returned from this great setting above the main town but just a short drive to everything. We had a large cottage to ourselves with private lanai, hot tub, fully appointed kitchen. Owners Amy and Rick were very friendly and offered great advice about restaurants, where to snorkle, etc. Provided us with computer and internet access,... more

What else can be said that hasn't been? The location is great, the hosts are wonderful and have everything you could ever need for your vacation (towels, snorkel geat, beach shoes (yes - tons of different sizes!), coolers, a stocked fridge of drinks, washer/dryer, fresh fruit and about 100 other things. Amy was terrific at welcoming us and making us... more

Amy and Rick are gracious hosts. The property is beautiful. It's set in the mountains with ocean views, and although it's removed from Kona, it's an advantage (cooler weather). I've stayed at Silver Oaks 4 times and I would definitely return again. more

You know when you find a place so fantastic, you're just a teeny bit tempted to give it a bad review so it won't be overrun with people? Sigh. This is one of those rare places, that is so great you feel like you stumbled on to the deal of the century. The owners (Rick and Amy) couldn't have been... more

Everything people say about this property is spot on. What a great place to stay while exploring the island. Rick and Amy could not be more hospitable (they even brought us extra pineapples and popcorn flavored with Hawaiian sugar cane!!!) and they provide everything you need for beach excursions (chairs, boogie boards, snorkel gear, cold beverages etc.), as well as... more
