Desiree & Allyson, the Hearts and Hands of Birdies & Beach

Birdies & Beach Retreat is more than a vacation rental—it’s an oasis whose charm stems from the love of two women: love for the Big Island, the game of golf, and the art of hospitality.

Desiree (owner), is a lifelong traveler, photographer, and competitive golfer who fell in love with the Kohala Coast’s wild beauty and peaceful rhythm. As someone who has traveled far and wide for golf, she knows what makes a stay feel effortless—Birdies&Beach has everything you need to feel right at home.

Allyson (5-star Super Host), a resident of nearby Waikoloa, has welcomed hundreds of guests to properties all along the Kohala Coast and has earned the highest accolades for her warmth, attention to detail, and professional care of guests. Allyson is also your go-to for local tips—especially if you're looking for the best courses, scenic drives, or hidden food gems around Waimea / Kamuela. From your first inquiry to your final sunset, she’s here to make your stay unforgettable.

With Birdies & Beach, they’ve created a space that offers what travelers value most: quiet mornings, breezy evenings, meaningful connections, and a home base that makes you feel instantly grounded. Whether you're here to chase birdies or just breathe in the salt air, Desiree & Allyson have thoughtfully designed every detail to support your rest, play, and restoration.

Why Birdies&Beach?

The name Birdies & Beach was born from two things that bring Desiree (owner) lasting joy: a perfectly played round of golf—and a slow, salty afternoon by the sea.

Here on the Kohala Coast of the Big Island, you’ll find both. Championship golf courses carved into black lava rock. Quiet coves with calm, swimmable waters. Palm trees swaying overhead while you sip a post-round drink on the lanai. It’s that rare balance of adventure and stillness that makes this place special.

We chose the name Birdies & Beach for our Kamuela vacation rental to reflect what this retreat offers our guests:

A little bit of play. A lot of peace. And space to enjoy both.

This place was designed to make you feel at ease.

    We'll be back!

    Our family had a fantastic trip to the Big Island. We enjoyed the location- being so close to several sandy beaches meant more time at the beach and less time in the car. The view of Mauna Kea for sunrises was amazing and we enjoyed the peace and quiet of the complex. It was great to have a very responsive host who was flexible for early check in and a little later check out!

    Memories of a lifetime . . .

    We enjoyed our stay thoroughly! The house was lovely and perfect for our family of five (including a small baby). Everything needed was there, the views were wonderful, and our host was communicative and helpful. The evening dinners we had on the patio were unforgettable. The pool was perfect for a relaxing swim with our baby. We would love to come here again for a future visit!

    The perfect getaway!

    We loved staying here! Great location near the Mauna Lani beach, as well as several other nice beaches nearby. The house was very clean and comfortable, the outdoor space was very pleasant and we loved the pool. Allyson was very communicative and helpful. Looking forward to coming back someday.

    Absolutely magical!

    We loved our stay at this place. It was perfect for 2 families with young kids. The house is fully stocked from kitchen supplies to everything you need for the pool and ocean. It’s a 2 minute walk to the pool and a quick drive to the beach club. Allyson was very communicative and had lots of helpful tips.
