The space felt intimate and beautifully cared for by the community, filled with plants that tell the story of the islands' deep connection to the land. We practically had the place to ourselves (just us and a few cheerful saffron finches flitting around). A quiet, restorative stop that's easy to miss but absolutely worth finding.

Some of the pictures and other artwork were simply amazing. Of course I saw some beautiful jewelryYikes!!! I fell in love with some earrings and a necklace but we had to leave so I didn't get them. So of course I thought about them all day. I phoned them the next day to see if the set was still there. The owner took a picture of the ones I described and emailed it to me. But it is hard to convey something like this over the phone. Driving back to our rental house we " just happened " to make it back to the shop before they closed, lol The owner was so much fun to talk to. Needless to say I found what I was looking for and I wore them to a wedding the next day. They have a lot of beautiful things, definitely worth stopping by.

There were surfboards, metal items and of course beautiful pictures. The art was on the high side but it was nice. This place is well curated. I wanted to patronize this place but they didn't have many smaller items like jewelry to buy. That's the only small critique I have. I will definitely return here.

You can 100% trust Victoria and her boss Mark. The reason I prefer this gallery over others is because the consultants. For example, Victoria literally picked out Several pieces that I fell in love with. No other gallery (Gupton and/or Gensis) is that invested in their clients to know EXACTLY what a client might like. She was spot on with what I was looking for and I cannot say enough good things. I trust Victoria and Mark with my life. They will work tirelessly to get you want you want, and then to be happy with those choices. Lastly, Oceanfront Gallery is NEVER pushy. You never feel anyone hovering over you like at other galleries (listed above). They are interested in getting you what you want. Please check out Oceanfront and ask for Victoria. She will not let you down.

I had a very negative experience with Big Island Living and would caution doing business with this…read morebusiness and owner, Courtney. About a month ago, I ordered two furniture pieces and paid a 50% deposit, with the understanding I would pay the remaining balance when the items arrived. While I was in the store, I witnessed another customer ask about a kamaʻāina discount and paying cash to avoid taxes, and the salesperson agreed. I then asked if I could do the same. The salesperson told me that with a Hawaiʻi driver's license, I qualified for a kamaʻāina discount. The salesperson offered to refund my deposit so I could pay cash after the discount was applied when the furniture arrived, and I agreed. Later, I was contacted by the owner (Courtney), who told me they do not offer a kamaʻāina discount and that paying cash was the "discount." That is not what was explained to me in-store. When I asked that the agreement made by their salesperson be honored, it was refused. Instead, I was repeatedly told that the kamaʻāina discount (which they dont offer!!) referred to tax savings, which was never how it had been presented at the time of purchase. I questioned why I needed a Hawaii Drivers License then? Anyone can pay cash! During that call, Courtney ended the conversation after stating she would not honor what had been communicated in-store and had nothing further to discuss. Because of how this situation was handled, I chose not to move forward with the transaction. Potential customers should be wary of what felt like bait-and-switch terms and unethical business practices. What is communicated at the point of sale may not be what is ultimately honored. This experience felt misleading, reflected poor business practices, and completely eroded my trust.
