Captain Cook

"I would recommend this place and we hope to come back. Everything was thought of, the cabin is beautiful and quiet ( the frogs at night did not disturb us at all) Heides bread and jam and fruits and egg's tasted so good and warmed my heart. We made wonderful daytrips from there and the owners gave us great tips . The surrounding garden is beautiful , the cabin is big and comfortable with lots of Hawaii books - so no need to bring one. Our stay was magical and we hope to come back , the owners are the nicest people and very kind and thought of everything. Would love to come back - we stayed 8 days in the cabin. Marianna"

"Hawai'i was on our dream list and we (2 adults, 11 yo boy and 15 yo girl) stayed at this house during our week on the Big Island in August 2016, so we had high expectations. We became progressively more comfortable with the place as we scanned through the photos, and then interacted with the owner Sally. Our questions were answered in a very welcoming and timely manner, and the information was accurate. For us this place seemed perfect, and it was! Spacious, clean and everything in working order. Overhead fans were great, and in one bedroom the overhead fan was loud but a desktop fan was supplied for comfort, which was fine. The photos on the website were limited, but there are 2 bedrooms side-by-side, then a bathroom, then a master bedroom, all opening into an internal hallway and also patio doors opening onto the pool deck. If you have young children your concern will be that if left unattended they will wander onto the pool deck and into the pool. For us it was perfect. The pool and hot tub were clean and well maintained, and there was a variety of snorkeling gear to use. The view of the ocean was unobstructed and stunning every day - this was a serene oasis after spending the days touring and sightseeing (btw you definitely need to rent a car if you rent this house). The owner provided important and accurate information to guide us on the island, this was very much appreciated. The lovely gardens and friendly geckos (inside and out) added a warm feeling to the home. Tiny ants were seen in the kitchen so everything edible went into the fridge, but this is common in Hawai'i and we'd prefer that over pesticide use. Love the sound of the frogs at night! Boogie boards were left for us to use and we kept them in the car just in case we found a beach, very handy. We would definitely recommend this home for people who love nature, serenity, access to the natural wonders in the area, and we will definitely return if we make it back to the island.
