We felt we were in a treehouse…

It was great! We were on the island for family birthdays in Captain Cook and it was perfect all around…

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!

Jungle Retreat

One-of-a-kind home. More wildlife than people here which is how we prefer it. It had all the luxuries we needed (great kitchen and laundry). Choicemart and eggs close by. Great water pressure in the bathrooms.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

Unique

This house is truly different with the custom wood everything. With all of the doors open on the main level we felt like we were part of the landscape with great views to the ocean and surroundings with beautiful full breezes. The kitchen was well appointed and the bedrooms adequate for our needs. The local wildlife (frogs, I guess) made for a unique serenade to go to sleep--don't know if this is a seasonal thing or not, but it was like sleeping outside--again unique! The property manager, Bruce, checked in multiple times to be sure we were all set and was responsive to our inquiries. Local food and grocery are very close by. Our group of seven siblings/spouses would definitely stay again.

Incredible views in a VERY natural setting

We originally selected this property due to its beautiful wood construction and incredible views. Once there, we appreciated its convenient location, lush garden setting, spacious accommodations, well stocked kitchen and thoughtful everyday supplies. The owners were very helpful and responsive as well. However, since we were unaware that traditional Hawaiian house construction does not include air conditioning, it took some time getting used to the constant humidity. And while the glass and screen sliding doors let in the wonderful trade winds, the gaps between the doors and the holes in the screens also let in bugs and geckos. So, if you can overlook the humidity and critters, this is a beautiful place to stay.

Stunning Views But Not Luxury

There is no denying that the views from this house are stunning. If our only time spent on the property was on the top floor, it would have been perfect. However, the bedrooms leave so much to be desired. Nature noises are to be expected, but when you can hear every word of a conversation a floor above you, it's impossible to get a good night's sleep. In addition, the 'primary' bedroom barely has a screen door to keep shut, and has a shed for a bathroom -- tin roof at all. The gaps in the walls are too large to call cracks.

Tropical Paradise

My family loved this property! The views are unbelievable. Enjoy watching the geckos run everywhere while eating fresh fruit off the trees in the yard. Owner was great. He let us check out late after my mom spent a day in the ER and was not up for helping shuffle everyone to the airport. VRBO did not send the proper details. Make sure to confirm the correct address with the owner before leaving. Also, you probably don't want to try and find it in the dark, as the property is quite private (not visible from the road at all). If you do try to arrive at night, bring a strong flashlight and hiking boots so you can confirm you're headed down the right driveway. Once you're parked the area is well lit and easy to navigate.

Like we stayed in a tree house

While it had its quirks, we enjoyed our stay here. We all had enough space and bathrooms. The view was amazing. My 5-year old loved sleeping in the loft. There were many good restaurants nearby, but all on a cliff, so parking at them was a challenge. We enjoyed having the pack-n-play available, as well as beach towels/chairs/toys. We had to be careful around the lanai railings, especially the bottom gap with our toddler. The steep driveway was shared with other people coming and going throughout the day. The ceiling in the bottom bedroom was too low for some of our party, but they stayed in another room. The host was available whenever needed and provided recommendations during our stay, as well as instructions for the house. The host scheduled a contractor to install tile at the entrance while we were there, but was able to largely work around our schedule, so we hardly noticed that they were there.

The jungle house

Beautiful yard, flowers and foliage. The driveway is a bit steep but can be accomplished. The house was clean minus ants in one bedroom, which was addressed quickly by the home owner. Nice to have full sized washer and dryer. Bathrooms were dated but clean. Plenty of service ware and dishes in the kitchen. It was nice to have a few condiments stocked in the frig. We took advantage of the good sized coolers available. Trash cans and recycle cans were clearly labeled. The nosy and cute green salamanders were everywhere, outside and waiting for us to leave to gain entry to the house. The frogs are LOUD but sleeping with earplugs made them nonexistent. Note: there is NO air conditioning. While the daytime is hot and humid, nights have a cool breeze. There are fans available for each bedroom. We enjoyed our time at the house. The views of the ocean and sunsets are beautiful!! If you are NOT a lover of nature or salamanders, this lovely open-air home may not be for you.

Fantastic home base for our Hawaiian vacation!

This place was absolutely breathtaking. Every bit as nice as the pictures and better! We had a group of 8 and a baby stay. We stayed here for one week, and when we moved on to the Hilo side, we immediately missed this house! The view from the wrap around lanais are fantastic, and the garden is unbelievable! We were lucky to get a chance to chat with Grace the landscaper, she gave us a mini tour of the property and explained what many of the trees and plants were. Dan the care taker who lives next door was AWESOME! He was there when we needed him, otherwise he gave us our privacy. He took us out on kayaks to the Captain Cook Monument and we were lucky enough to run into a few pods of dolphins so were able to swim and snorkel with the dolphins before snorkelling at the Monument. He even lent us his underwater camera for our scuba diving trip. We liked it so much we have since bought one. Dan also took us to 2 Step for paddle boarding and snorkelling. He gave us macadamia nuts picked off the property and introduced us to the jaboticava tree with its lychee-like fruits! Dan was a wealth of knowledge and really made our stay extremely enjoyable. On another note, we were pleasantly surprised to see that the kitchen was well stocked with sauces and spices and oil for cooking which was really convenient. The laundry room was also stocked with detergent. The location of the house was close to Pu'uhonua (Place of Refuge), the Captain Cook Monument, and several coffee plantations. It was about a 30 minute drive to Kona, which for us was not bad at all. On Sundays there is also a little market just down the street for fresh produce and crafts.
