This is a beautiful and completely unique house, with sweeping views and jungle all around, and yet it's still a short hop from ameneties ranging from the amazing Coffee Shack restaurant to groceries, swimming, historic places, farmer's markets, and more. The owner is hands down the most responsive and best communicating host I've every worked with! As great as the house is, knowing that we were in such good hands with the host made a difference to reducing stress during our stay. Thank you!

Private, Close In, Convenient Location. A Tropical Paradise. What a View!

Been to the Big Island four times, Captain Cook is our favorite. This is the nicest house we have stayed in, by far. Close to the beaches, restaurants, groceries, wonderful Sunday farmer's market. Host has provided a comfortable clean unique gem.

Incredible View

Three generations of our family spent 4 relaxing nights at the house. The views from the main floor are incredible. My college-age son loved relaxing and reading in the hammock on the porch. If you are looking for a delicious breakfast out during your stay, do not miss the nearby Coffee Shack.

Incredible Views

Very nice home with incredible views from all around the house. At night it sounds like a rainforest sound machine setting with all the birds and creatures singing. The property has gorgeous plants and grounds. The house was clean and had everything needed for a nice stay. It is incredibly close to Black Rock Pizza which we ordered twice during our stay it was so good! We enjoyed our time very much.

Wonderful Property with Gorgeous Views

Truly enjoyed our stay here. We had 11 family members that flew in from Alaska, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Idaho, and Texas. The upper lanai and views are unrivaled. It's truly one of those places that you can sit and enjoy for hours. It's peaceful and delightfully breezy. No complaints whatsoever. Thank you for providing us with a wonderful location for our family to enjoy all that the Big Island offers.

Beautiful home in South Kona

We (7 adults ages 37 to 64) all loved this property and wouldn’t hesitant to book again in the future. The views from the main living area and lanai are awesome. The owner is easily accessible and responsive via text or phone call. There are lots of geckos that will be hanging around (mostly outside, occasionally inside), but they’re cute and don’t bother you at all. The coqui frogs will be serenading you in the evenings. You won’t find a nicer vacation rental in the area!

Nice getaway

We spent wonderful time at the house in mid August 2023. The view was spectacular and the weather is quite pleasant in that part of island. The sound of frogs singing at night is something unique in the area. I recorded the sound and listen to it when I go to sleep.

Fantastic Tree House

This tree house was amazing! It was a joy to listen to the birds, frogs and admire the geckos. The view was wonderful with the house being clean and well stocked. There was even aloe available for our sunburns. Many beach items are available to use while at the home. The teenage boys in our group enjoyed the loft. I feel the the photos of home are accurate. We would love to stay here again!

Hawaii expérience

It’ an excellent Hawaii experience. Beautiful trees around the house and amazing view on the pacific. Very beautiful sunset. Every one in our group appreciated the birds and crickets songs every night but it can be disturbing for someone that has difficulty to sleep. Well equipped for cooking. The only negative point is that rooms are smaller than what it look like from the pictures on the internet site.

Sublime property

My husband, grown children and their partners stayed here 12 years ago and the “treehouse” has been a sweet memory for all those years. We decided to return here with good friends of ours and it was as breathtaking as we remembered. The views are spectacular with changing lighting from sunrise to sunset. You are able to enjoy Hawaii without the crowds and traffic but you are only a few miles from stores and great snorkeling. The house itself is well maintained and the big timber construction makes for a spacious feel, especially with glass sliding doors wrapping around 2 sides. The owner's suite is huge with an ensuite bathroom and there are 3 smaller bedrooms and a loft that would accommodate a large family. The kitchen and grill with all the essentials make cooking at home convenient. In addition to all this, the owner shares his supply of beach gear with guests, including snorkeling masks, fins, beach chairs, etc. This is a very special place.

A Tree House!

What a wonderful place to stay! The pictures and the description are dead on. A member of our family stated that it was like being in a tree house. The views were incredible and the home was very comfortable. What really made our trip was the caretaker Dan. He lives in a ohana house on the property and was always there when we needed him. He was able to hook us up with kayaks and surf boards and even took us out to the Captain Cook monument. If you are considering a trip to the Big Island, this is the perfect place to stay. Addl note: The owners are very responsive when you contact them.

PERFECT! Authentic but with every amenity!

We used to live in Hawaii and wanted to share the things that we love the most about it with our children and closest friends and this house afforded us the opportunity to show them all that's wonderful about Hawaii. It's a gorgeous house with plenty of room to spread out, very comfy beds, a fully equipped kitchen and gorgeous views anytime of day but especially at sunset! The caretaker Dan is a wealth of knowledge and was always helpful with getting us the appropriate equipment for every activity and telling us the special hidden places to snorkel, buy the best fish, get coffee, etc. Wouldn't change a thing except maybe how far away we live so that we won't get there on a more regular basis!
