We had a wonderful stay at Plumeria Cottage. The cottage is on Puako's lone quiet road. It's not fancy which is a big part of it's charm, but it is extremely comfortable and supplied with everything we needed. Walking distance to very fun snorkeling, swimming, turtle gazing and incredible sunsets. We hope to return.

Loved everything about this place! The location is great. We walked across the street to watch the sunset every evening, always a stunning show. The house was easy to live in, equipped with everything we needed. We spent a lot of time on the lanai which looks toward the ocean. There’s beach equipment, and the beaches are a very short drive from the house. There’s also a park at the end of the street where you can get in the water if you’re on the more adventurous side. The property managers are welcoming and responsive. This is our second time at Plumeria cottage and we hope to stay there again the next time we’re on the big island.

I highly recommend staying at the Plumeria Cottage if you are looking for a laid back experience away from the busier touristy locations. The cottage is located on a quiet residential street steps away from the ocean. Although the beach directly in front of the cottage is not ideal for swimming due to the volcanic rocks, it makes for an amazing sunset experience. It was also a popular place to see the sea turtles, so many! We enjoyed using the BBQ on the lanai daily, be sure to pick up your meat from Waimea Butcher Shop to support local and have unbeatable quality beef. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed and more with a well stocked kitchen, beach supplies, and toiletries. The outdoor shower was amazing with lush trees overhead. A few of our favorite things including grabbing poke bowls at Da Fish House and eating on 69's beach, hiking Pololu Valley and stopping at Gill's Lanai for the best fish tacos afterwards, and catching Kozy's Magic show! Truly and unforgettable trip, we are already looking to book our next stay at this amazing cottage.

Location was incredibly close to the best snorkeling. We also took a snorkeling tour elsewhere and were not as impressed as our little spot. Saw turtles, eels, and so many fish. Cottage had everything we needed and management was very attentive. Cottage is not very close to reasonably priced restaurants so plan on using the kitchen or traveling to eat out.

I came for a conference and did not want to stay at the hotel ,boy did I make the right choice !
This cottage is absolutely charming and quiet,well stocked with everything you need to have a wonderful time!
We cooked outside most nights and enjoyed different beaches every day.
Lava Lava Beach club and the Hale bar at the Fairmont were really nice and both close to the water.
We will definitely be back !
Thank you for sharing this wonderful property!

This place is better than described or photographed. Lots of nice amenities and ample supplies of everything you might need. Lovely and comfy bed and linens. We especially enjoyed the outdoor shower! Snorkeling and sunsets across the street was amazing! Only thing that would be great to add is bicycles! We will be returning!

We had an amazing vacation at Plumeria Cottage over the Christmas holiday 2023. The cottage is located right across the street from the water, with multiple access points along the street, including a great surf beach. It’s also an easy short drive to other attractions like Hāpuna Beach State Park, Hawi (art galleries / dining) and Waimea (dining / shopping). The home was perfect for my wife and I, with a well stocked kitchen that allowed us to cook many great dinners during the week. We spent most of our evenings relaxing on the deck, listening to the waves. Robin at the management office was fantastic communicating with us both before and during our visit to ensure everything was ok. I’ve already recommending the place to friends and family and can’t wait to go back again.

Really comfortable and loved the location. Would totally come back, we didn’t make enough use of the deck! My favorite thing was the outdoor shower, and oh the bed was super comfortable. Well stocked kitchen which I appreciated a lot.

We have stayed here for the last 10 years (missing one year, for up to a month at a time. We love the location. The property is aging and shows it. The owners did replace the couch this year which was appreciated.

Fantastic experience! From arrival to leaving the staff of 2papayas was available and responsive. The cottage itself was well equipped, well maintained and very comfortable. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood it is across the street from the ocean with multiple access points. A short drive brings you to two major resort areas and shopping as well as historical and cultural sites. Be sure to take in Kona Kozy's magic and comedy show in nearby Queens Marketplace. Recommend highly, we will be back!

We've stayed in Plumeria Cottage three times now so yeah - we LOVE it. It is perfect for a couple who want to spend some romantic time together. The beach is a two minute walk away, the perfect place to watch the sunset. The house is impeccably clean with every utensil you could ever need to cook a gourmet meal. If you don't feel like cooking - you are a quick drive to many wonderful restaurants. This is truly the perfect cottage in the perfect spot - we are already planning our 4th visit.

This rental was perfect for my wife and I. We love Puako and easy drives to beaches close-by. We walked just across the street for sunsets with turtles coming to rest right on the beach. There was a great snorkeling spot just a 4 minute walk away! The rental was clean, well-appointed, spacious for 2 or 3 adults, and Mary and staff a 2Papaya were very helpful and friendly! Highly recommended!
