Experience island living in a way you never dreamed of.
When we say clean, we mean clean! This peaceful vacation rental is on the Big Island of Hawaii - just one mile up the road from one of the island’s most beautiful locations: Laupahoehoe Point. A short walk or drive will reward you with vistas of green cliffs, often dotted with waterfalls that drop down into blue-green ocean. When you get to the Point, there is some of the most spectacular rugged coastline you will ever see. Take beach chairs any time of the day and be mesmerized by the waves.
Please note: We rent Tuesdays to Tuesdays because of lower airfares and more availability of seats to Hawaii.
This is a sweet house with beamed cathedral ceilings, Corian countertops, and beautiful gardens. There is a great lanai to sit on for hours looking at the ocean, whales in the winter, and occasionally double rainbows. Nestled about 600 feet above sea level on the slopes of Mauna Kea, the magnificent 13,796 foot mountain that in the winter is actually snow capped. But at 600 feet, you won't feel the cold. Waipunalei (easy and beautiful to say "why poona lay") is just 2 miles out of the old-style sleepy town of Laupahoehoe.
Fruit trees are abundant. The gardens are full of tropical flowers, cared for lovingly by Mark. You may find bananas, papayas, or some other surprise on your lanai.
A huge mango tree provides sight and sound privacy between the houses. Large windows continually remind you to look at the marvelous ocean. Just sitting on the lanai with a mai tai or a glass of juice and you'll know why Waipunalei is heaven. You'll enjoy exploring this beautiful - over 4000 square mile - island - the way other parts of Hawaii used to be. But when you return late in the afternoon, you'll be glad to be home. Just sit, relax, and enjoy. Mark and Rae furnish the house like their home. It will feel like you are home - not at another vacation rental house.
This part of the Big Island is truly heaven. The island is so beautiful that it will be hard to stay home and enjoy just being here. Beach chairs, boogie boards, beach toys, beach umbrella, and all linens are provided. All you need to bring are your clothes.
We encourage you to consider renting for two weeks. There is plenty to do and see. With two weeks, you're not as likely to so "driven" to always be on the go. People who have done this have thanked us later for encouraging them to go this route. The houses are best suited for a family or two couples. Minimum rental is one week.
Our guest house is not for those who want to have a Waikiki kind of vacation where you lay in the sun on a white sand beach every day surrounded by crowds of people. Honolulu (where Waikiki is) is a free stopover if you want to spend a couple days there on your way to our house or back. The most beautiful white sand beaches are within an hour of the house and other beaches are closer. It is a great location for a family or a couple to explore all the treasures of the Big Island -- volcanoes, rainforests, waterfalls, hiking trails and the many interesting beaches.
The Mango house has separate driveway and total privacy.
The Big Island has it all - gorgeous white sand beaches, an active flowing volcano, huge waterfalls, 13, 800 foot mountains, and more. Average temperature year round is low 80's. We can help you see a Hawaii many people don’t see. We delight in sharing this piece of paradise. The Mango house has satellite TV and high speed wireless.
Maid service is not included and people are expected to leave the house in nice condition. This is reflected in our reasonable rates. There likely can be a cleaning service available for an additional charge.
