A slice of paradise...

We spent a week here in early December, and it was truly magical. We appreciated the extensive lanai, outdoor kitchen, and spectacular view. Our host was welcoming and responsive. We found the location to be perfect for exploring snorkeling spots, Volcanoes National Park, and Kona. We would definitely stay here again!

Nana’s alleged swan song

Absolutely beautiful view, loved the outdoor feeling, the geckos, the garden, the sunsets. Outdoor kitchen was fabulous—made cooking magical. Comfortable beds. Worked out great for the five of us. A great place to relax away from the touristy area downtown.

Panorama View!

Great view of Captain Cook Memorial. Like a jungle walk above the trees. Saw a whale this morning and several times we saw spinner dolphins in the distance. Wonderful sunsets and moon sets. Conveniently located if you have a rental car and like a quiet and spectacular rural setting. Layout of the house gives you a lot of individual quiet spaces. Great kitchen for cooking togeather.

Just rent it!

Our family had a wonderful stay in this crazy amazing home. The property is beautiful, and spacious. The view of the Captain Cook monument and bay is stunning. Palea the cat is cool she shows up couple times a day to be friendly and get a snack. Kids loved her. The house is BIG. You are an overlooking one of the best snorkeling reefs. Laundry was nice and the bathrooms- just wow! Thanks Gus for your hospitality. We hope to return here in the future.

Stunning views

We had a great stay at this property. Kitchen was well stocked and house was clean. Gus, our host, was very helpful. We enjoyed having the 🐈‍⬛ visit us. Beds were comfy and washroom facilities were well appointed. Just a couple of things to note: - because of the outdoor nature of the property there were a lot of mosquitos and bugs on day 1. Surprisingly not too bad on day 2. In spite of bug spray, we got bit a lot! - again, this is an open concept house with stairs leading up from the yard, straight into the deck. We were never concerned about security, but something to keep in mind.

Amazing place

We spent a week in December at this unique property, and really loved it. The views and privacy are amazing, and the owner was nearby whenever we need him (which was not often). The layout of this place is unique with most of the common areas outdoor under a large deck that connects the three master bedrooms. Pictures are accurate. To love this place you will need to be comfortable with lots of geckos, some bugs, etc. If you leave the lights on outdoors at night you may attract a lot of harmless tiny gnats, which we quickly learned to avoid. All part of being outdoors in this wonderful part of Hawaii. I'd call it luxury plus funkiness. Everything worked great and the place was well stocked - great dishes, appliances, some spices and basic food prep stuff, snorkel gear, beach towels. There is also an outdoor cat that spends time on the deck, and was a real pleasure. We look forward to returning.

Awesome stay overlooking Kealakekua Bay

We stayed at this property for 7 nights. It was the absolutely most perfect place for us. It was amazing. Between the flowering tropical plants, the open kitchen and the deck that runs the entire length of the home, the amazing weather and gorgeous views, we didn't want to leave. Gus was great. Attentive, and offered suggestions when we asked. There is a covered parking area for your vehicle. The house was very well equipped. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked, too. We didn't have problems with bugs. We kept the lights low at night in the open areas. We kept the house open and the breeze did an excellent job of keeping the indoor spaces quite comfortable. My husband and I spent most of the mornings sipping our coffee and watching the kayaks and some swimmers! heading across the bay towards the Captain Cook monument. The area was very quiet, which was perfect for us. Our kids loved Paele, the house cat. She was very friendly, and showed up for pets and the occasional snack. Be sure to read the handbook for the home. It contained lots of useful info about stores, restaurants and beaches. We enjoyed Manini Beach. The caretaker there was very friendly and told us about the area and the community gardens. It was a great place to watch the sunset. We are so glad that we stayed at this property. It exceeded all of our expectations.

Lovely outdoor space

This is a truly unique property with a standout outdoor kitchen and an expansive patio that offers stunning views of the bay — especially at sunset. The location is fantastic, with easy access to snorkeling spots and plenty of opportunities for exploring the surrounding nature. I really appreciated the peaceful setting, the refreshing breeze, and the chance to spend so much time outdoors watching wildlife and soaking in the scenery.The house itself is comfortable and functional, though it does show some signs of wear and has more of a rental property feel compared to others I’ve stayed in. That said, the setting more than makes up for it, and I’d gladly return for the views, outdoor space, and connection to nature.

Excellent all-around!

Our Captain Cook stay was pure bliss! Tucked away from the hustle & bustle, this spacious haven offered 3 separate living areas – perfect for a group getaway. The open kitchen was a chef's dream, & local dining options (15 min drive) were fantastic. Snorkeling at Two Step Beach was the icing on the cake!

Beautiful Pod House Vacation

Our family had an amazing stay at this house on the Big Island. Our party consisted of my husband and myself, our two teenage boys (15 and 16) and my husband's parents who are in their late 60's. The house was in perfect condition when we arrived. We loved cooking breakfast in the outdoor kitchen area and sharing a rainy afternoon spread out across the expansive porch facing the beautiful ocean. There was plenty of space for all of us to spread out or meet together. We drove (and walked) to the beach that was just down the hill from the house. I would like to note that the beach that is closest is a rockier beach, but that's what most of this area of the Big Island is. My boys and I loved exploring the rocky shores. There were several little "nooks" that some locals showed us to hang out in. All of it, including the house, was really breathtaking. Communication with the owner/manager was really easy and they were very responsive. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone. Mahalo for an incredible stay!

“Best rental house ever”

My teen and tween decided this was “the best rental we’ve ever stayed in.” We loved the outdoor kitchen/dining with the indoor bedrooms. View and location are amazing. You could stay with a larger group and still have privacy due to the layout. Clean, had everything we needed. And we had fun counting lizards.

Beautiful! 5-star with caveat

Property is beautiful - just as described. Directions were perfect, ease of check in and communication were great. Only two downsides - the check in/checkout times of 4:00pm and 10:00a are a little bit of a stretch for those parties (like us) staying just one night. We knew ahead of time and accepted the guidelines, but it’s such a beautiful property, you want to enjoy for as long as possible. The main downside was excavation work being done by a large Caterpillar just 50 feet away. We arrived at around 5:00p, and the noise was constant until 6:00p. We couldn’t enjoy the sound of the ocean and birdsong over the Cat. Someone was there on the lot working until 7:00p, and they returned at 10:00a the next morning, just as we were leaving. Not that the owners can help that, but I would want to know if there was a construction project starting that would be ongoing every day during a stay. But for that, have full confidence that you’ll love the home and set up - plenty of plates, cookware, amenities, etc. Will hopefully stay again, once the next door project is complete!

Lanai Paradise

What a fantastic property. The sunset views were breathtaking every night. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. We spent every waking hour outside, cooking, eating, lounging around the lanai. It was an easy walk down to the local park (Manini Beach) and a harder uphill walk home but not long. Also, no grocery stores or restaurants in easy walking but since we cooked all our own meals that wasn’t a problem. We loved this place!

It’s hard to describe such a place but my family and I called it our treehouse.

This home is unlike any other place I have stayed. It is exactly as described but I just couldn’t picture it. The winding scenic drive getting there was beautiful in itself but once we swung open the bamboo gates and stepped inside, the view (times perfectly at sunset) was breathtaking. The home had everything we needed and nice quality. The linens and towels were nice and the beds were very comfortable. It’s a first to have an outdoor kitchen like that and we loved it. There is an outdoor daybed that I would’ve loved to have taken home! Gus was easily accessible and answered all our questions. I was a little nervous about the reviews mentioning bugs, but being from Louisiana, it was nothing. Would most definitely stay here again.

One of a kind experience with nature!

We had an incredible vacation at this amazing home. Really, one of a kind and words cannot describe the experience. We are very outdoors-y people and LOVED the emersion in nature that this home offers. The open air was incredible and the view from the deck was surreal. We loved all of the quirks, including the bugs and geckos that became part of our vacation experience. And Pa'ele the kitty was so sweet and so much fun (with evening entertainment of her wild kitty hunting excursions). We also loved the local beach (Manini beach) which is about at 10-15 minute walk from the house down the roads and driveways through the beautiful scenery. We like to be in the water snorkeling and Manini did not disappoint (even saw an octopus twice while snorkeling). The local beach hosts were incredible and helped to keep the beach quiet and peaceful as part of the Hawaii culture. You can also relax on the grass--not your typical sand beach, which isn't our thing anyways. But if you are a lay in the sand beach person, this beach may not be your thing. If you are looking for an air conditioned resort with all of the amenities of a pampered vacation, this is not the place for you. But if you are looking for a one of a kind Hawaii experience with nature, this place is out of this world. We love the Honaunau-Napoopoo area of the big island-- much better than the north Kona area and other resort areas of the island. Gus was an amazing host- we will def come back when we visit Hawaii!

Relaxing bliss

Our family fell in love with this property. The open air kitchen was perfect for family dinners. We did have to get some citronella candles to keep mosquitoes away but that’s fairly expected up in the trees on an open lanai. What we loved best was the open feel with just enough quality touches without feeling so fancy you couldn’t relax. Even our teenagers asked to come back to this house some day. Check in was easy , communication was great via email. We had the late flight in so it was nice to be able to just flop onto a clean bed when we hit the house. Pantry storage was a little tight for our Costco run but almost everything went into the fridge to avoid bugs. The views were spectacular. The Murphy bed in the living room gave us the third room with a bathroom we needed for our teenage son. Easy drive to anything you want to do. Definitely follow the directions from the property owner email to make it an easy find. This made for a relaxing, beautiful, homey vacation!
