Five Star Accommodations at Affordable Rates! If you are adventurous and free spirited, but still require all the amenities a luxury rental home has to offer then Pu\`uhonua ('Place of Refuge') is the place for you. Experience tropical Hawaii at it’s finest in this unique pole house nestled just above Kealakekua Bay ('Pathway of the Gods') in Captain Cook, Hawaii. At this elevation you will enjoy the perfect climate and sweeping 180+ degree views of the ocean, Mauna Loa and Kealakekua Bay, in a quiet and comfortable setting. Convenient location, just a moment away from the town of Captain Cook, with all of its amenities including one of the islands best grocery stores, fantastic restaurants, local shops and a wonderful farmers market. Watch breathtaking sunsets from the spacious upper lanai that wraps around the house. Just 20 miles south of Kailua-Kona Airport, Pu\`uhonua House is minutes from an array of activities including horseback riding, hiking, tennis, diving, dolphin and seasonal whale watching. Rent kayaks and kayak across the majestic Kealakekua Bay, swim with spinner dolphins and snorkel one of Hawaii’s best kept secrets, the Captain Cook monument. Enjoy a variety of tropical fruits and flora grown on the property such as bananas, papayas, lemons, avocados, breadfruit, macadamia, coffee and mangos. We are close to some of south Kona’s finest beaches and minutes from great swimming, snorkeling and child safe beaches like Hookena, Manini, Keei, and Kealakekua Bay. Pu\`uhonua House (Place of Refuge House) was built in 1988 by a physicist and his wife. As a former sailor he and his wife had traveled to many parts of the world, before they chose this spot to build their dream home where they would eventually retire. Being a physicist he was intrigued by the simplicity and structural durability a pole house has to offer. Supported by nine thirty foot tall cedar poles imported from Washington state, this house unlike traditionally constructed homes, has a more open floor plan allowing for more glass. The main living level perimeter is nearly all glass/view. You feel as though you are part of your beautiful surroundings. All of the structural and finish components of the house were all hand crafted on site. The property is a one acre private parcel located in the McCoy Plantation subdivision, once a coffee plantation. Much of the property is still rich with coffee plants and certain times of the year the air is thick with the sweet scent of the blossom. If you like peace and tranquility then you will enjoy this piece of paradise. ASK ABOUT OUR AMENITY PACKAGE INCLUDING KAYAKS, STAND-UP PADLLE BOARDS, HIGH QUALITY SNORKEL GEAR AND BOOGIE BOARDS.

We used to live in Hawaii and wanted to share the things that we love the most about it with our children and closest friends and this house afforded us the opportunity to show them all that's wonderful about Hawaii. It's a gorgeous house with plenty of room to spread out, very comfy beds, a fully equipped kitchen and gorgeous views anytime of day but especially at sunset! The caretaker Dan is a wealth of knowledge and was always helpful with getting us the appropriate equipment for every activity and telling us the special hidden places to snorkel, buy the best fish, get coffee, etc. Wouldn't change a thing except maybe how far away we live so that we won't get there on a more regular basis! ##### Paige N. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tammy C., Calgary, AB, Canada 4 Dec 2013 #### Fantastic home base for our Hawaiian vacation! This place was absolutely breathtaking. Every bit as nice as the pictures and better! We had a group of 8 and a baby stay. We stayed here for one week, and when we moved on to the Hilo side, we immediately missed this house! The view from the wrap around lanais are fantastic, and the garden is unbelievable! We were lucky to get a chance to chat with Grace the landscaper, she gave us a mini tour of the property and explained what many of the trees and plants were. Dan the care taker who lives next door was AWESOME! He was there when we needed him, otherwise he gave us our privacy. He took us out on kayaks to the Captain Cook Monument and we were lucky enough to run into a few pods of dolphins so were able to swim and snorkel with the dolphins before snorkelling at the Monument. He even lent us his underwater camera for our scuba diving trip. We liked it so much we have since bought one. Dan also took us to 2 Step for paddle boarding and snorkelling. He gave us macadamia nuts picked off the property and introduced us to the jaboticava tree with its lychee-like fruits! Dan was a wealth of knowledge and really made our stay extremely enjoyable. On another note, we were pleasantly surprised to see that the kitchen was well stocked with sauces and spices and oil for cooking which was really convenient. The laundry room was also stocked with detergent. The location of the house was close to Pu'uhonua (Place of Refuge), the Captain Cook Monument, and several coffee plantations. It was about a 30 minute drive to Kona, which for us was not bad at all. On Sundays there is also a little market just down the street for fresh produce and crafts. ##### Tammy C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly S. 30 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Incredible experience!

We decided to return here with good friends of ours and it was as breathtaking as we remembered. The views are spectacular with changing lighting from sunrise to sunset. You are able to enjoy Hawaii without the crowds and traffic but you are only a few miles from stores and great snorkeling. The house itself is well maintained and the big timber construction makes for a spacious feel, especially with glass sliding doors wrapping around 2 sides. The owner's suite is huge with an ensuite bathroom and there are 3 smaller bedrooms and a loft that would accommodate a large family. The kitchen and grill with all the essentials make cooking at home convenient. In addition to all this, the owner shares his supply of beach gear with guests, including snorkeling masks, fins, beach chairs, etc. This is a very special place. ##### Lawrence T.

The views from the main living area and lanai are awesome. The owner is easily accessible and responsive via text or phone call. There are lots of geckos that will be hanging around (mostly outside, occasionally inside), but they’re cute and don’t bother you at all. The coqui frogs will be serenading you in the evenings.

Beautiful trees around the house and amazing view on the pacific. Very beautiful sunset. Every one in our group appreciated the birds and crickets songs every night but it can be disturbing for someone that has difficulty to sleep. Well equipped for cooking. The only negative point is that rooms are smaller than what it look like from the pictures on the internet site. ##### Maurice R.

The driveway is a bit steep but can be accomplished. The house was clean minus ants in one bedroom, which was addressed quickly by the home owner. Nice to have full sized washer and dryer. Bathrooms were dated but clean. Plenty of service ware and dishes in the kitchen. It was nice to have a few condiments stocked in the frig. We took advantage of the good sized coolers available. Trash cans and recycle cans were clearly labeled. The nosy and cute green salamanders were everywhere, outside and waiting for us to leave to gain entry to the house. The frogs are LOUD but sleeping with earplugs made them nonexistent. Note: there is NO air conditioning. While the daytime is hot and humid, nights have a cool breeze. There are fans available for each bedroom. We enjoyed our time at the house. The views of the ocean and sunsets are beautiful!! If you are NOT a lover of nature or salamanders, this lovely open-air home may not be for you. ##### Lisa F.

If our only time spent on the property was on the top floor, it would have been perfect. However, the bedrooms leave so much to be desired. Nature noises are to be expected, but when you can hear every word of a conversation a floor above you, it's impossible to get a good night's sleep. In addition, the 'primary' bedroom barely has a screen door to keep shut, and has a shed for a bathroom -- tin roof at all. The gaps in the walls are too large to call cracks. ##### Becka D.

The home was incredible and an absolute dream for my kids. They loved the “treehouse” feel and the upstairs loft. Even though there were plenty of bedrooms, they all chose to sleep up there. The floor plan of this home is a little confusing compared to what you see in the pictures. The main bedroom with an on suite is in a separate area from the rest of the home. It has a detached entrance. It is also two stories down from the kitchen and living space. The main entrance has stairs leading up to a floor that houses three bedrooms, the laundry room and a bathroom. You must go up another flight of stairs to get to the living room and kitchen. This wouldn’t have been an issue but I had my 75 year old in laws with me and my mother in law is blind. The stairs were very difficult for them. I had asked the host if there was a bedroom on the floor with the kitchen and I think there must have been a miscommunication because I was told there was. The only bedroom accessing the kitchen was the loft. This was not an option for my in-laws. The driveway is also very steep and would be nearly impossible for a car without four wheel drive to get up. Lastly, don’t forget your shampoo. The home had some body wash, but no shampoo or conditioner. All in all, it was an amazing experience. Views from every angle, a responsive host, and the home was very clean. ##### Kellie A.

We all had enough space and bathrooms. The view was amazing. My 5-year old loved sleeping in the loft. There were many good restaurants nearby, but all on a cliff, so parking at them was a challenge. We enjoyed having the pack-n-play available, as well as beach towels/chairs/toys. We had to be careful around the lanai railings, especially the bottom gap with our toddler. The steep driveway was shared with other people coming and going throughout the day. The ceiling in the bottom bedroom was too low for some of our party, but they stayed in another room. The host was available whenever needed and provided recommendations during our stay, as well as instructions for the house. The host scheduled a contractor to install tile at the entrance while we were there, but was able to largely work around our schedule, so we hardly noticed that they were there. ##### Jon H.

With all of the doors open on the main level we felt like we were part of the landscape with great views to the ocean and surroundings with beautiful full breezes. The kitchen was well appointed and the bedrooms adequate for our needs. The local wildlife (frogs, I guess) made for a unique serenade to go to sleep--don't know if this is a seasonal thing or not, but it was like sleeping outside--again unique! The property manager, Bruce, checked in multiple times to be sure we were all set and was responsive to our inquiries. Local food and grocery are very close by. Our group of seven siblings/spouses would definitely stay again. ##### Richard C. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2023
