The kitchen was fully stocked with appliances, pots, pans, serveware, you name it. We enjoyed cooking meals at home for the family. The property is gorgeous and the fruit growing on the property were a wonderful bonus. The pictures don't do this place justice! The house is much larger than it appears and the view is perfect.

Property was great. Very peaceful. Greatly enjoyed the stay. Would absolutely rent again. Several times during the stay our host checked in on us to make sure everything was going smooth. Only issue we had was first night finding the property we got lost a little bit back tracked and followed the host directions better. Would absolutely rent again.

Location and pool are the highlights

The ever-so slightly out of town location made for a relaxing, peaceful day to day living. You feel alone with your group on the property - allowing for a serene experience. House is large, lots of space, never felt cramped. It's a bit older house, which means slightly dated aspects - but not in a way that made the stay uncomfortable. The property managers were available when we had an issues and they were resolved without any overhead from us. Thanks for a lovely big-island stay!

Beautiful Home

This home provided all the amenities we had been told to expect There were coolers and beach equipment, a great pool. tiki lights, and plenty of room. The kitchen was fully equipped and plenty of parking space. The grounds are very nice with avocadoes, papaya and palms. The location is within fifteen minutes of three beaches and easy to get to Highway 11 which circles the island. The driveway to the house is narrow but paved and the directions to access the property are excellent. The home easily accommodates a large family, couples and singles. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the owner is very easy to work with.

Wonderful, beautiful home

We had the best time at this home. It was perfect for our group of 9 adults, 2 toddlers. The house was large enough for all of us to be together and yet have our own space. We overindulged on the delicious avocados, cooked family meals in the huge kitchen, and enjoyed nights under the stars in the pool and hot tub. This is one of the nicest vacation homes we had ever stayed in and we were all sad to leave. Being up on the volcano meant we had a wonderful view of sunsets and the stars. It was great to have the privacy of home. As one of the other reviewers mentioned, it is colder up on the volcano than down by the beach but we enjoyed the cooler temperatures (especially compared to the negative temperatures back home). Kona was full of things to do and Captain Cook was a fun town for shopping and eating. We were there over New Year's Eve and the fireworks all over the island were spectacular to watch from poolside. The owner Jeni was always available if we needed her. I really recommend this home for a big group looking to enjoy a trip to the Big Island.

So glad it was the experience you hoped for!! The cooler temperatures up on the mountain make it so nice! I personally love the breeze that comes from mauka (mountain) in the morning and maki (ocean) in the evening!

Stunning view, quiet retreat, perfect for family!

Our week-long stay at Pu'u Mahana Plantation was wonderful! We brought three generations of family -- kids/teens through grandparents. First and foremost, the views are stunning!! It doesn't matter where you are standing at the house, you are surrounded by such natural beauty! We appreciated having several bedroom options and places to gather inside/out. The kitchen is fully stocked and had everything we could have wanted for preparing and enjoying meals. Jeni provides so many items to make the stay comfortable such as beach towels, coolers, boogie boards, board games. The pool and patio area was gorgeous day and night --- full ocean views during the day and beautifully lit up with torches and lights at night. Walking the property was a peaceful activity each day -- it feels like a true getaway. There is truly a "symphony" of sounds surrounding you - birds, frogs and more. We liked the area of Captain Cook - access to good snorkeling, fun local places to eat, and friendly people at the farmer's market. Jeni was a great host and responded quickly to any questions we had.

We love sharing our home and surrounding property with our guests! The house truly was designed to take advantage of outdoor living and maximize the amazing views! Captain Cook is a lovely community, rural and lush. The small town really provides everything you need! Kealekekua Bay and the City of Refuge add to the history of this area, while the agriculture adds to the authenticity of the people who live and farm here.

Simply stunning

We celebrated my 50th birthday on Father’s Day with our kids and grandkids. The pictures on VRBO do not do justice for how stunning this property is. My experience with most properties is that the pictures always look better than the actual. TOTAL OPPOSITE in this case. My kids arrived at the property first and said we don’t even have to leave. Such a paradise is an understatement. We had more than enough room to be together without feeling crammed in. The open windows, speakers to easily connect to, kitchen to cook and play games and create beautiful memories will stay with our family forever. Watering plants and caring for the pool and hot tub made it feel like home. The road up to the house became a crowd favorite, as there was always something new to see. Exploring the island was wonderful, but coming “home” was always an ahhhh moment. Communication with Jeni was super easy. The only hard thing was leaving. I will definitely book this again and recommend a stay here. We had absolutely everything we needed. Thank you for opening up your home. Jeni story is beautiful.

The house was perfect for our family of 9. The pool and hot tub were well loved and used by everyone. Some rooms did get a bit warm, but with the fan going and windows open, it cooled to a more comfy temperature. Getting to the house was an adventure itself, but it was well worth the treck up the mountain. Jeni was easy to communicate with and there were great recommendations available in the binder. The KTA store was nearby and some great beaches, coffee farms, poke, and coffee shops 15-20 minutes away. The house was clean, and had all the amenities needed for an extended stay. The washer was broken, but Jeni was willing to provide a laundry service for us. The tap was good to drink, but she had a dispenser available.

Lovely home

We had a wonderful visit to the Big Island and Jeni’s home was a delight. Everything was well maintained and the house and grounds are beautiful. The little town of Captain Cook was a quick trip for supplies, and the proximity to terrific snorkeling was a daily joy. We loved picking avocados, starfruit and lemons and cooking in the well stocked kitchen. The sunsets are amazing from the house! Jeni was a responsive and gracious host. Our family of nine appreciated the opportunity to share her wonderful home.

4/10 Poor

A beautiful home, with much neglect.

We stayed at this beautiful home 5 years ago, and had a great experience. Since that time, it appears that the owners have given up on guest satisfaction and home maintenance. The yard appears un-mowed for a month, and there is an absolute mountain of garbage and recyclables behind the garage, stinking and drawing flies, feral cats, and who knows what else. The biggest problem was the refrigerator, which apparently has not been working properly for a while, since all the home instructions warn guests to close the fridge tightly. We were diligent about that, yet it still only got to 50 degrees F at most times. Our daughter had stomach issues for the last two days there and two days at our next house, very likely from eating food that was spoiled. One of the requirements was that guests had to wash and dry bath towels before leaving, a very difficult task when you are showering and packing to get out by 10:00 AM. The cookware and glassware (plastic) is very poor, not what you would expect at these prices. I hope the owners take more interest in this home, it's a great place with so much to offer. Sad to see it in this state of neglect.

What a shame to receive a review such as this with no notification from the guest! We take so much pride in the beautiful property and only upon this review discovered the grounds had not been tended. Upon contacting our landscaper we discovered he had left the island suddenly due to a family emergency. A simple phone call would have allowed us to immediately deal with the situation. Undoubtedly piles of garbage are a problem and if we had been notified it would have been dealt with immediately. We've no garbage service and must be diligent in removing on our own. We do rely on our guests to tell us what is happening at the home during their stay. As far as the refrigerator, it is a top of the line sub-zero but when 12 guests stay at the house, are consistently in and out, not closing it completely, it will over heat. Again, a simple phone call would have been appreciated. To our future guests, please note the only complaints are based on non-communication and poor cookware. We will absolutely do our part to ensure our guests are comfortable and can enjoy all the property and home have to offer. Mahalo!

Beautiful property with excellent ammenities!

had a very enjoyable 2 week stay with extended family, including 3 toddlers. Jeni was always available to assist with issues, questions - not that many arose. The property is located welcomingly in the hills to provide just enough buffer to be away from the hustle-bustle, but close enough to a grocery store and other essentials to make the stay very enjoyable. The house was also stocked with every imaginable amenity, including a pack-n-play for our youngest, Would definitely stay again. Mahalo!!!

Wonderful place to stay

My wife and I stayed here with our 3 sons and their families. We had just as much fun and relaxation here at the house as we did anywhere on the island. We spent 2 days at the house without leaving, just swimming, picking lemons to make fresh squeezed lemonade, picking avacados and just laying in the sun. The pool and hot tub were great. There were no mosquitoes or any other unwelcomed bugs to bother us. I will admit that the roosters crowing at 4:00AM woke us up earlier then we wanted to get up, but our 3 year old grand daughter sure loved watching the chickens and the baby chicks. The grounds were well kept up and the house was very clean with lots of room for 10 people. If we ever come back to the big island with a group of friends or family we would definitely stay here again without any hesitation.

A great property for our group and our escape from winter

Our group of 11 stayed at Pu’u Mahana during the Feb break 2018. Jeni was great to deal with from when we booked in and right through our stay. She had lots of tips and information for us in her welcome package, and was very easy to get in touch with if we had any questions while were there. The weather on the Big Island was mostly rainy during our stay and we did a lot of touring around the island. The hot tub and pool were great at the end of the day. There were a few technical issues with the wifi and couple of other minor maintenance issues. Jeni had them dealt with as soon as she could. The cat that came to visit quickly made friends. Our girls named her Mary Margaret for the week. The lemon tree was full of ripe lemons and the avocados also were in season. Nice that we could make use of them while we were there. Lots of room, the bedrooms are suites on their own. All of us could gather in the kitchen for coffee/breakfast in the morning and not be crowded. The rental vehicle had GPS and it took us to the address, it was good that we got there in the daylight because the property is back up the mountain and down a quiet country trail. It would have been tricky to find in the dark but again, all the directions were in the welcome package. I would recommend Pu’u Mahana to other families that are looking to stay near the Kona side of the Big Island. Janet H Alberta Canada

Christmas vacation

Wow! That really is the first way to start. Jeni was great to work with. Her home is completely set up for you to have the.best time. The pool was amazing. The house was built for you to experience the best sun sets I have ever seen. Every bedroom was decorated to perfection. The pictures that Jeni provided us, were great. However the pictures didn’t come close to showing how incredible her home was. Everyone in my family woke up every day to say wow. If I could give ten stars I would. I can’t thank Jeni enough for letting us share her home. Anybody looking to rent a house on the big Island, should try very hard to rent this home. We were able too create the BEST CHRISTMAS VACATION MEMORIES WE WILL EVER HAVE. I recommend this home very highly. Thank you so very much. Daniel Ellis and Family

Amazing!

Everything about the place was better than the pictures suggest. Jeni was a pleasure to work with. We had a large family group in support of my sister competing in the Ironman. We had plenty of space. The kitchen, living space and pool/outdoor area is much bigger than expected. The master suites were awesome. The kids loved the pool and we had plenty of fresh avocados every day for everyone to make sandwiches and guac. There's a grocery store within 5-10 minutes and an amazing wrap/smoothie place Loko Wraps. The coffee shack is another recommended nearby stop. We would definitely stay here again if there weren't so many other amazing undiscovered locations in this world. Our only recommendation would be updated pillows and linens for at least the upstairs suite. Other than that A+

Impressive property.

The property was beautiful and the house was beautiful and well equipped. The location was good for exploring all over the island and was convenient for beaches, especially Magic Sand beach which I would highly Recommend. House had an amazing pool and all the amenities you would need. The only small draw back would be the spotty water pressure - sometime the water pressure would drop, especially if a few people were showering at the seams time. I would recommend this property.
Response from VrboOwner on 30 July 2021
Indeed, our home offers beautiful amenities and the pool is amazing! Lower water pressure means we need to change the filters and its important we know about these things as soon as they happen. When a large family (these guests had 11) use the home, the filters may have to be changed during their stay. Hope to see you back!
