Important things to note:
Embrace Nature's Embrace
Nestled amidst the lush rain-forest, this property offers a unique and refreshing experience. While it may not have traditional air conditioning, the trade winds and elevation provide a natural cooling system that ensures comfortable temperatures throughout the night. With windows and sliding glass doors open, the home is graced with a gentle breeze, maintaining a cool and inviting ambiance.
Harmonious Coexistence
As a part of the vibrant ecosystem, the property is home to a diverse array of wildlife. During the summer months, from May to August, you may encounter blister beetles and mosquitoes, which are attracted to light. While blister beetles are harmless unless crushed on the skin, we recommend keeping the lights on a lower setting at night to minimize their presence.
The Serenade of Coqui Frogs
One of the most enchanting aspects of this property is the presence of Coqui frogs. These tiny amphibians, no larger than a quarter, were accidentally introduced from Costa Rica and have become a beloved part of the local ecosystem. At dusk, their melodious chirping fills the air, a mating call that continues until they find their partners. To many, their serenade is reminiscent of the soothing sound of crickets.
This Big Island Hawai'i estate truly embodies the essence of island living, offering a harmonious blend of luxury, privacy, and natural beauty. Immerse yourself in this tropical paradise and experience the ultimate in Hawaiian living.

Sammy was the most amazing host for our group of 18 (high school volleyball team)! We have stayed at a lot of team houses and this might be our favorite. The beds were so comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked to cook meals for our group size. The views and the pool were so relaxing! The property was gorgeous! Everything was so comfy and perfect.
Sammy setup yoga for our team upon arrival which was phenomenal. And the last day, our plans had to change and he let us extend our check out time which was a huge help to the group.
Thank you so much for an amazing time!!!

Staying at Sammy’s home was a life-changing experience. The entire property is spectacular; phenomenal views, the enchanting sounds of the coqui frogs and passing rain, and surrounded by nature’s beauty. The house is well stocked and beautifully renovated with moments around every corner to be appreciated. Watching the sunset from the pool and hot tub was the perfect way to end a long day of adventures. Far better than staying in a hotel. Best Vrbo rental and host…we will return for sure!

Our host, Sammy, was amazing and welcoming. He managed to be present yet invisible all at the same time and the home offered everything we needed for a productive working retreat with some relaxation when possible.

This might be the most relaxing place I’ve ever been. Our first large family vacation (mom, siblings, and our respective families) in a very long time, we weren’t sure how it would be staying in one house together for over a week. 😉The property has so much space and places to just “be” that we never felt crowded. Even better, we were all able to relax and hang out at our leisure, go on day trips to Hilo or National and State parks. There was plenty to do, even if it was tempting not to leave the house.
Everything about this property was just gorgeous. The landscaping was incredible, especially for a family from such a different climate. The owners have obviously put a lot of care into the property.
The coqui frogs at night were absurdly loud - not a complaint. It added to the feeling that we were someplace amazing and different. The geckos were also very popular with my family. They were everywhere.
We had an amazing time and I would highly recommend this property for those looking to relax and maybe not try to cram too much into your days. I just think it would be a shame to rent the property and not enjoy it.
Finally, Sammy was incredibly helpful and responsive to all of my questions. Much appreciated!!

Words cannot describe how amazing our experience was at Punya. To start, Sammy was an incredible host. Prior to and throughout our trip Sammy was easily accessible, answered all of our questions and was so kind and welcoming. We were so appreciative and in awe of hearing about the property’s and area’s history and inception. His hard work, passion and love of the land radiates throughout the property.
The property itself is phenomenal–it is set on beautiful Pahoa land with amazing plants, vegetation and with majestic and friendly animals. The home is spacious and was very comfortable for our large group of 7 adults and 4 children. The decor throughout the home and property is beautiful, thoughtful and creates a spiritual ambience. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare and enjoy our family meals. All of the rooms were also well stocked with towels, sheets and supplies. These made for perfect adventurous day trips or “chill time” at the property. And of course…the pool and hot tub…a definite highlight for all of us on this phenomenal trip.
Lastly, Sammy allowed us to host a 50th anniversary party for our parents at Punya. All of our guests were in awe of the beauty and comfort of the property. We were also able to have a fire dance performance that was elevated by the exquisiteness of Punya.
We are so grateful to have had this amazing family experience at Punya. We very much hope to return in the future!

Sammy IS an amazing host. He was there when we arrived and greeted us with a very warm Aloha welcome. After giving us a quick tour, he left us to enjoy the lush Zen gardens, beautiful orchards, stunning ocean views, and extremely clean mansion! The beds were so comfortable! Every part of the house was super clean and made for relaxation. The breeze was so sweet and cooled the entire house! The sunrise and sunset views were breathtaking. We picked papayas, guava, kumquats, and limes from the backyard orchard every morning. The pool and hot tub was perfect for days to unwind after short trips to Kona, Volcano National Park, and the Hakuna Coast.
Sammy went over and beyond with hospitality even sharing our love for avocados! Thank you Sammy for your lovely personality and opening up your home to us. This Thanksgiving was full of many blessings and meeting you was one of them! Mahalo.
