From the moment you enter our gated estate, you will feel you have come to the Garden of Eden. The cottage was built in 2003 and is located on our 4 acre coffee estate. Papa Bay is located 40 miles South of the Kona International Airport. You can pick your own papaya, pineapples, bananas and a variety of other fruits that are in season. This is a country setting with turkeys and pheasants almost always seen on the property. You will be greeted by the sounds of the roosters and turkeys early each morning and hear nothing but the sounds of the wild birds and our chickens during the day and crickets and frogs at night. You will definitely appreciate the privacy, security and serenity of this retreat setting. Honomalino black sand beach just next door in Milolii. Hookena beach is only 20 minutes North and provides good snorkeling and boogie boarding. The Place of Refuge is about 30 minutes away.

The living area includes, futon, 55 inch High Definition TV along with satellite connection. The sleeping area has a king size TempurPedic bed. NO BED BUGS HERE!

There is plenty of storage space with all custom cabinets with granite tops. You will enjoy our very unique 'Shower Room' which is all tiled with a shower head that will drench you with its 100 holes. We also have a coin operated laundry facility on site. You provide your own detergent/softners. There is a very large sun deck with a gas BBQ grill or Webber if you prefer and outside FREEDOM SHOWER over looking the ocean. You will get hooked on the outside shower. Many guest say they are going to install one when they get home. Clothing is optional on both the cottage sun deck and the pool deck.

Snorkeling, deep sea fishing, hiking, luaus, horseback riding, 4 wheel drive tours, golf, circle island bus tours, night dinner cruises, jet skies, motorcycle rentals, helicopter and airplane tours, rafting, whale watching, and of course, there is always sun bathing on your choice of white, green or black sand beaches. I'll even teach you how to pick and process coffee.
Driving Directions From Kona Airport
As you leave the Kona airport and get to the highway, turn right towards Kailua-Kona. Continue South for about 40 miles. Once you pass the 90 mile marker you will turn Right at the next marked street which is Papa Bay Drive. Go down to the second street which is Malolo Drive and turn Left. Go to the end of the street. Our driveway is on the left. We have a large black gate with the word ALOHA painted on it. It will be open when you arrive. If you are staying more than one night, it is recommended that you pick up groceries in Kona before you drive to the cottage. Otherwise you will have to go back to Kona or to Ocean View which is 13 miles South the next day.

Map & Owner's Profile
Private & Secluded Ocean View Cottage on 4 Acre Coffee Estate
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Captain Cook
After creating our garden of eden we felt we had to share this with others who could appreciate it. Our reviews say it all and none of them were "WRITTEN BY OWNER".
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
Since retiring I hardly ever leave our property. We have so much to offer and still want to improve and make it better. Come see for yourself.
Owner's Map of Captain Cook
My wife Jo and I were born and raised in Chicago and got married in 1971. We moved to California to get away from the cold Chicago winters. After 15 years in California where we raised our two children we decided to go somewhere nicer yet and that brought us to the Big Island of Hawaii. We are now both retired and our children are on their own leaving us with a four acre coffee farm and our vacation rental. We would love to share our piece of paradise with you.

Just Wow! My wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary at this beautiful cottage and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the property. The location offers the privacy and seclusion that we were seeking. The hosts were friendly and by the end of the stay they were friends. The vistas were great, stars at night magnificent, sunsets breath taking, dawns serene. Home grown and brewed coffee superb.
Owner response:Mahalo. Our job is to make your stay as comfortable, enjoyable and informational as possible. We enjoy our piece of paradise and love to share it with others. Thanks again for staying with us. Wayne & Jo

For a quiet, private cottage, this is the best. Have never found anything so clean and well maintained. Everything you need to enjoy your Hawaii experience is here, beach mats, snorkel equip, ice chests, etc. We loved the atmosphere and the owners were lovely hosts. The listing description was right on, no surprises.... and the photos accurately represented the rental's appearance and amenities. The owner taught us a lot about the area and answered all of our questions about things to see and area attractions We would definitely highly recommend this rental to friends and relatives.

Mahalo to Jo and Wayne for providing a clean, cozy and peaceful bungalow for a two week retreat on the Big Island! 110% customer satisfaction. Loved the location where you can see the stars at night, great sunsets, appreciated the outdoor gas grill for cooking fresh fish, coolers provided for day trips, everything you'd want for your local adventures and excursions. The Volcano is just an hour away, Hilo is two hour drive, local beaches are a 10-30 minute drive. You do need a rental car! We will be back again and again and again until we move there. Jo and Wayne were one of the highlights for us too! Fun, good hearted and an inspiration!

Quite Lovely Retreat

Review Submitted: 12/19/11
My husband and I came here to celebrate our 20th anniversary of meeting each other on this island! We really needed the quiet, privacy, and restfulness that we were provided at this well-stocked cottage. They provide everything needed, coolers, snorkeling gear etc. We asked for privacy and Wayne and Jo were nowhere to be seen until we actively sought them out to ask advise on various subjects. They were wonderful, giving us a wealth of information about the edible plants and fruit on their 5 acres and we bought a delicious pound of 100% Kona coffee that Jo picked and processed herself. We enjoyed the ping pong table, pool table, decks, and found some great music from the Direct TV set up. We felt like we had our own retreat place! The views were not as good only because the volcano was creating some haze and smoke that blocked the clarity. Had it been clear, the views would have been awesome. We had a couple of great chicken encounters with their friendly chickens on the land. Thank you for a wonderful 20th! Warmly Always, David and Tracy Wikander, December 2011, Santa Cruz, CA

We stayed in Wayne and Jo's lovely cottage for a week while visiting the Big Island! The location was accessicble to both Kona and Hilo, and also the Volcanoe National Park. The private estate has lovely views, beautiful gardens, and lots of outdoor space to enjoy! The cottage itself was very cute, clean and cozy. Love the bathroom!!! We had a fantastic time, and would gladly come here again. Thanks to Wayne and Jo for a wonderful time... it was really great to get to know you!

Paradise Revisited

Review Submitted: 12/13/11
This was our second trip to Wayne and Jo's fabulous piece of paradise and definitely won't be our last. They make it very hard to leave. Since our first visit in 2010, Wayne and Jo have added a pool, solar sauna and a screened sun porch to go with all the other wonderful amenities. The location of the cottage makes it easy to explore the island, whether you are going to Kona, Hawi, The Volcano or Hilo. We traveled 1800 miles around the island during our two week visit and still managed to have time to relax by the pool and enjoy the cottage. We enjoyed buying fresh fruits and vegetables from the farmers markets and local venders all over the island. We ate Lau Lau, Huli Huli Chicken, BBQ ribs and other true Hawaiian foods from local venders. We loved our conversations with the locals. They were full of imformation and very helpful, as were Wayne and Jo. We were able to experience the Christmas season, Hawaiian style. Something we will never forget. We enjoyed purchasing all our Christmas gifts from the islands local artists.This was a fun and very memorable vacation and we are looking forward to returning the same time next year. Thank you Wayne and Jo for making us feel so comfortable and truely welcome. We can't wait to see you again next year. Mahalo!

This was a wonderful stay. If you want relaxation and comfort, you need to stay at this home. Wayne and Jo,are here, but not here. The property is beautiful. The property has tons of fresh fruit and coffee plants. The Kona coffee they process from scrach is spectacular. You can buy it here for a very reasonable price. We come to this Island every year, and never realized the wonderful snorkeling that was so close to their home. Approximately 20 minutes away at Honaunau Bay, we had a wonderful time snorkeling and enjoying the dolfins flipping around. Stay here and enjoy the time of a life time.

We celebrated our 5th anniversary on the big island. First time big island visitors we wanted to cover the entire island or as much as we could. We stayed at three sides of the island and Wayne and Jo's guest house was the last stop. It was perfect. Very clean, comfortable King bed, HD huge tv for late night screened in porch with a view of the ocean down below and sunset! They have a completely private freedom shower out on your deck and they do have a poolfor guests touse, a pool table room with other games room items. We explored the small towns on either side and kayaked to captain cooks momument. It was a perfect place to come home after the end of a busy day and relax cook dinner( grill if you like) and listen to the sounds of the outside world. Highly recommend!~

Wayne and Jo provide just about every amenity one could possibly ask for, easily competing with any resort while not having to compete with other guests. There is no other experience like knowing you have complete private access to the pool and lovely grounds, or being able to just be entirely yourself without any reserve or judgment. Pride of ownership is obvious in this wonderful little getaway, and if it is privacy you seek, Wayne and Jo will happily accommodate you. That said, they are available to answer any questions or provide any advice or guidance about places to see or things to do. I will not rehash what other reviewers have said, but let me be clear that the accommodations are comfortable, clean and thoughtfully complete. My husband has to adhere to a gluten-free diet, so having access to a fuly equipped kitchen was a Godsend. The location is ideal for exploring both sides of this wonderfully diverse island. If a secluded Shangri La is what you seek, look no further...
