Captain Cook houses

The property is located a few minutes away from the best snorkeling destinations on the island making it easier to snorkel in calm morning waters and beat the crowds. The propery is beautifully landscaped and with vreathtakubg views from the property. Jim is a great host, and so are his two friendly dogs, Kona and Ben. We really enjoyed our stay and recommend this place!

Loved the location right on shore the waves crashing all night. Quiet neighborhood.

Second stay at the Purple House and once again it didn’t disappoint! It is always our little home away from home! Love the peace and quiet! The owners are amazing! Look forward to future visits!

Clean well furnished and lots of space. Fantastic sunsets.

If you're looking for a quality home away from the busy action, this is perfect. Cooking dinners in the gourmet kitchen was a treat. The lava shoreline is there to entertain you at all hours of the day, as well as the winter whales blowing as they pass the patio. Carl and Deb were very responsive when anything was needed. This is a must see property if you're looking for an authentic Hawaii stay.

This property comes as advertised: beautiful and well-equipped. We absolutely loved it. Dan was very welcoming, easy to reach, and provided detailed instructions to assist with the trip out.

An amazing location, and the pictures do not do it justice! Feels like you are at home in paradise, and every amenity is available to you. From watching the daily sunsets on the deck to snorkelling at the beach across the street; the house is a perfect home base to explore the island.

The Makai Hideaway is a gem. It is well-equipped and worked well for our family (three generations). There are a numerous personal touches, and Cheryl is a very conscientious and responsive host. She has left guidebooks, information and even her own top 10 list. There is a lot to see and do on the island, so we did a lot of day trips. Everyone appreciated the large lanai, especially in the morning and at sunset. We often had gecko guests (very cute). The kids (teenagers) loved having their own space and their own beds on the lower level, especially after staying in more crowded accommodations earlier in the trip. Do make sure you read the listing carefully as the access to the lower is external- Cheryl is very open about this and it was fine for us but it would not work for everyone. The “swimming hole” nearby proved to be an excellent spot for snorkeling- on par with many more well-known places- though we could only go toward to end of our stay as the waves were too rough initially. Worth a special mention: We bought mac nuts in their shells from a stand on the road down to the house, and everyone loved cracking and eating these.
