A chef for the vacation rental.
The highest-value meal of a Big Island vacation is the first one — the night you land, groceries not yet bought, the kitchen unfamiliar. Vacation-chef service starts there and scales to the whole week.
The arrival-night dinner
Your chef shops before you land, stocks the essentials, and cooks a CORE dinner ($150–$225 a guest, ENTRY from $110) the night you arrive. The fridge is full, the kitchen is proven, and the vacation starts at the table instead of a grocery run.
Scale up to the week
Stay Chef runs from $950 a day plus groceries at cost with receipts — breakfast through dinner, or just dinners and a stocked kitchen. Most rental weeks mix: two or three chef dinners, one full-service day, and the rest provisioning.
The kitchen gate, honestly
Big Island STRs almost always have full kitchens — that is why this island works so well for chef service. We confirm kitchen specs from your listing before quoting; hotel rooms without kitchens are declined.
Questions, answered
