  • Our family recently spent several days staying at peaceful Mango Hale before heading to Kauai for a family gathering. We were warmly welcomed by Rick and Scott upon our late evening arrival and settled into our comfortable rooms as the tropical breezes tempered the summer heat. We found the location perfect for exploring the western side of the Big Island both up and down the coast, but the most fun was the underwater exploration of the reef right across the street at Paniau Bay. With Scott as our guide to the best place to easily enter the warm water, we lost track of time as we marveled at the beautiful corals, fish, eels, and turtles. Mango Hale’s well-equipped kitchen allowed us to prepare meals we could enjoy in the lovely setting of mango and palm trees while watching the geckos and birds cavort around us. (By the way, the fresh-off-the-tree mangos there are far better than the Mexican mangos we get here on the Mainland.) We would definitely recommend a stay at Mango Hale to anyone looking for an affordable, non-resort setting for their trip to the Big Island. You will not be disappointed!

  • MANGO HALE IS THE PLACE TO STAY! I just returned from a wonderful stay here with my daughter and her family at this gem of a property. We were in the 3 BR Mango Hale and I felt as if I had the "Queen's Room" because I had a large room with windows that afforded cooling tropical breezes and in addition there was a nice ceiling fan if needed. The private bath was perfect. My daughter and son-in-law had a lovely suite on the upper floor with a view through the trees to the ocean. The grandson had his own room with private bath. All the bedding and towels were top notch. The main living area and well appointed kitchen was a very comfortable place for us to gather. The big screen TV kept the 14 year old entertained when we were being lazy. The location couldn't be better. It is a 2 minute walk across the street to an outstanding area to snorkel. It seemed like a secret place known only to the locals and we saw all kinds of beautiful fish, a turtle, eels and some magical coral. We made trips up the coast and down the coast and we visited some truly beautiful beaches. We love mangoes an we couldn't begin to eat all the fruit that was at our fingertips. This is a taste of old Hawaii with not a single high rise in sight!!! The owners, Rick and Scott were most helpful in giving advise when asked. You will not be disappointed if you choose to stay here.

  • We just returned from a week-long stay in Mango Cottage. It was paradise! The cottage itself was everything you could ask for in a vacation home - a really comfortable bed, super soft towels, the best outdoor shower you've ever seen, a fully equipped kitchen (plenty of cookware and dishes), a gas grill, cable TV and DVD player (you can rent new release at the General Store), a comfortable couch to lounge on, parking under the shade of the mango trees, and all you can eat mangoes! The first night we were startled by loud thumps on the roof, but after we realized that that was the sound of mangoes falling, we'd go running out to collect the slightly bruised but very tasty fruit. You can walk two minutes out to Paniau to go snorkeling or just to enjoy the sunset. We swam with turtles just down the beach from there and walked to a Petroglyph park. There are also numerous other beautiful beaches just a short drive away, too many to enjoy in a week. This part of the island is the sunniest, so while it was overcast and raining elsewhere, we'd always wake up and come home to sun. Thanks so much Scott! We'll be back.

  • This is an exceptional rental for its amenities and its location and its owner. My husband, son and his partner, and I stayed here for a week and the lay-out of the house allowed us to be together as well as to have privacy. The master bedroom is spacious and lovely and the second bedroom is also large and comfortable. Having 2 private bathrooms was a real convenience to us so we could all shower quickly after coming back from the ocean. The kitchen has everything one needs and is further enhanced by a terrific gas grill in a covered area outside. The 3 lanais are great. The house is located at the end of a road, right across the street from the best (and sometimes only) entrance to the huge reef of Puako. This is one of our favorite places to snorkel in the Hawai’ian Islands…and it took less than 5 minutes from the time we left our house to be in the water, viewing the abundant sea life. In winter months,there are whales in the area right off shore, and you can rent kayaks nearby to paddle with them. Puako is a particularly wonderful place to stay – it’s away from resorts with a feeling of what Hawai’i used to be like. There is a great fresh fish store close by as well as a terrific general store where you can get most of what you need. And there are pleasant and at times breath-taking long walks which go along the shore to the various resorts and famous beaches on either side of Puako. Finally, I want to say that Scott is one of the best landlords I’ve met. He was very helpful re: all of our questions. He was nearby, and worked on the property at times, but was never intrusive. This is not a luxurious resort-type rental but rather a truly terrific home rental that I hope we return to every other year from now on.

  • Scott, Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed our too-short, one-week stay this past March at your Cottage in laid-back Puako. The cottage and the grounds were obviously carefully and diligently well-maintained, which we really appreciated. The accomodations for our family were exactly what we were looking for: clean (spotless!), quite spacious enough for my wife and I and our fifteen-year-old son, and blessedly quiet. I can't remember sleeping as well on holiday... The amenities and facilities such as the convenient gas grill and washer/dryer worked well for us, the little bit we used them. The diverse, profuse and lush foliage on the grounds made for a wonderful ambience throughout our stay. The location at the end of lightly-travelled Puako Beach Drive meant very easy access to the wonderful snorkeling area at Paniau, and the drives to Hapuna Beach and Beach 69 were as scenic as they were short. I think we can recommend for future visitors who are shopping for groceries etc that there are plenty of places in thickly-settled Kailua Kona (Safeway, Costco, Shop+Sack, etc) but be careful to allow plenty of time, or perhaps better: Kamuela/Waimea which seemed closer and easier to navigate, just up the hill from Puako. The close-by Puako General Store worked well for ice and sundries. We are hoping to come back soon! Thanks - mahalo for your fine hospitality, Scott, Aloha David, Diane and son John Terrien Castle Rock, Colorado

  • I had a great time staying here. Very well kept and a good value. I would recommend asking the owners at check in where to go to suit your interests... they directed me to some great places for what I wanted to do... relax! One of my favorite spots was Pani'au, the park just across the road. It was nice to wake up and walk 30 seconds to the ocean and tide pools. Also, Hapuna beach is my other favorite place, a 10 minute drive. The owners, (Rick and Scott), showed me a short cut to get there. I saw this beach featured as one of the worlds top 10 on the travel channel... I wasn't disappointed. I hope to come visit again soon and think this is one of the best places to stay on the Big Island.
