Rental Details

Rental Overview

Located just past the town of Hawi in North Kohola, this historic Plantation House dates back to the 1940's when the Union Mill company farmed the land for sugar cane. It once belonged to the plantation doctor. Our renovation has focused on maintaining the style and character of the property while modernizing it to meet modern expectations. While not air conditioned the cooling breezes of North Kohala and plantation design make it comfortable all day and particularly at night.

Place was clean, roomy with a good kitchen. But lots of little bugs invading the place daily.

Our stay started off a little rough BUT the owner was very good in responding to my issues. This is a lovely place to stay and sometimes cleaners donʻt always do their jobs- it happens. This issue did not hamper our vacation at this beautiful plantation house.

Very nice and clean old-style Hawaiian home in rural area. It is very private and quiet although it is likely you will hear the resident fowl and frogs. It is very close to a number of historic sites, beaches, and hikes--and interesting country roads. A few stores in Hawi and Kapuu have coffee and other snacks (and local art) and there is a nearby grocery. If you are looking for "off the beaten path" this place should be on your list.

Beautifully appointed home with great spaces. Only complaint was rooster farm across the street. ( I'm a light sleeper.)

We were visiting family so this property worked out perfectly for family dinners and hanging out. I would definitely choose this property again. It's away from the touristy areas. This property had everything from beach equipment, washer and drier, and well stocked kitchen equipment. Thank you to our Host.

The house had everything we needed. Our family of 5 was very comfortable. Our only recommendation is that the bunk bed room should have a bigger fan.

A beautiful home and a lovely location. We enjoyed being able to hide right down the road. We enjoyed the location beaches. It was relaxing. The house is very well. Set up. We are two couples who travel together frequently and this was an ideal location for us. I would highly recommend this.

Once again we had an amazing time in Kapa'au. We adventured the whole island, and had a cozy home to come back to every night. Well equipped, clean, and very quiet. I mean except for the roosters and coqui frogs :) We love it!!

The house is an amazingly nice, clean and quiet former plantation villa, really well kept and modernized. Nothing more to wish for and would love to come back if we visit the region again!
