About this property

BIG ISLAND PLUMERIA COTTAGE Perfect Couples Getaway in Magical Puako! New AC!

And, with a roomy, sunny lanai and large shaded grassy yard, it becomes quite spacious. An outdoor-shower room with laundry and plenty of room for beach items and for drying wet towels and bathing suits keeps the indoors comfortable and relaxed. The nearby shoreline access is a short walk away. The cottage also has air conditioning.

There is another home on the property occupied by our long-term tenant & his dog. He will be very respectful of your privacy & quiet enjoyment of the home during your stay.

Amazing and perfect cottage

I came for a conference and did not want to stay at the hotel ,boy did I make the right choice ! This cottage is absolutely charming and quiet,well stocked with everything you need to have a wonderful time! We cooked outside most nights and enjoyed different beaches every day. Lava Lava Beach club and the Hale bar at the Fairmont were really nice and both close to the water. We will definitely be back ! Thank you for sharing this wonderful property!

Beautifully appointed.

This place is better than described or photographed. Lots of nice amenities and ample supplies of everything you might need. Lovely and comfy bed and linens. We especially enjoyed the outdoor shower! Snorkeling and sunsets across the street was amazing! Only thing that would be great to add is bicycles! We will be returning!

Lovely Puako Cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cottage was even better than pictures - beautifully decorated, super-clean, well stocked (plentiful beach and snorkel gear and even a coffee grinder). Convenient location. We walked 5 minutes to snorkel at one of the best spots on the Big Island. You will enjoy the outdoor shower! AC in the bedroom makes sleeping very comfortable. Cottage gets warm in the afternoon, but we were outside at that time most days. The large lanai is perfect for morning coffee and grilling dinner. Mary was very helpful. Quickly responded to a minor issue. Cottage is a great value for a couple. We will be back.

Perfect Plumeria

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wow! What a perfect place to stay for two people. The location is on the Kohala coast and is ideal - close, easy access to multiple beaches with great snorkeling, sand, and beautiful sunsets. The cottage itself is extremely clean, comfortable, and well stocked with everything you need and more - outdoor shower and bbq were great! In fact, there wasn't one thing that was lacking, and quite the opposite, supplies were bountiful, which is rare with a rental. The location on a quiet street was close to some nice resort communities including Mauna Lai (5 min. down the highway) - golf, food store, a few shops, black sand beach, and the excellent restaurant "Canoe House." I would definitely recommend this rental for anyone who wants a quiet and private place to chill and to launch from to have tropical fun. One caveat that has been mentioned in other previous reviews, the cottage can get very warm from 2 - 5 PM (after 5 is very pleasant). There are fans which help, but the bedroom is air conditioned (we called it "the cooler") allowing for "escape" if, for some reason, you're not out and about during that time frame. The property management (Mary) made sure to check in a couple of times to see if we were happy - thanks Mary. Final words - a great place to stay with great value!

Everything Was Just Right

This rental was perfect for my wife and I. We love Puako and easy drives to beaches close-by. We walked just across the street for sunsets with turtles coming to rest right on the beach. There was a great snorkeling spot just a 4 minute walk away! The rental was clean, well-appointed, spacious for 2 or 3 adults, and Mary and staff a 2Papaya were very helpful and friendly! Highly recommended!

It has it all

Our last 5 days on the big island were spent here. It had everything we needed. The kitchen was very well equipped. Loved the spacious lanai, the outdoor shower, comfortable seating in the living room. A/C in the bedroom was absolutely necessary as it was very hot during our stay.The bed was super comfortable. Our neighbor,Kozy, was very helpful in pointing out the nearest and best beaches. Daily snorkeling within a five minute walk was wonderful. We especially loved Beach 69, a small, sandy beach that offers shade. just a 5 min drive away, When we return to the big island this is where we will stay.
