Location: Kapaau, Kohala Coast, Big Island, Hawaii, USA
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms, 1.5+ Baths (Sleeps 5)
The Akoni-Pule Guesthouses and North Kohala offer an immersive Hawaiian experience removed from the tourist traps and bustle of other locales. In fact, it may have you believing you're a local.
This private Eden reveals two houses, and presents a variety of accommodations, as there are two separate houses with distinctive floor plans. The entire property sleeps 14. Please view our other rental listings at VRBO/152916 and VRBO/215410.
The Banyan House is two stories of luxury, housing an impressive 9 foot solid koa-slab island in the 1st floor kitchen, first & second story lanais (including a screened in area on the second story), two queen sized bedrooms, one-and-a-half baths.
Set back from the road, a striking variety of lush flora envelopes and divides the property, including hibiscus, birds of paradise, orchids, ferns, palms, an awesome banyan tree and fruit trees offering the freshest mangoes, papayas, bananas, and avocados that are yours for the picking. Savor oceanic, pastoral or jungle views as tropical birds sing, geckos chatter, the island breezes caress the trees, and the resonance of the tide rhythmically whispers in the distance.
