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.

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.

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.

Beautiful yard, flowers and foliage. 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.

Three generations of our family spent 4 relaxing nights at the house. The views from the main floor are incredible. My college-age son loved relaxing and reading in the hammock on the porch. If you are looking for a delicious breakfast out during your stay, do not miss the nearby Coffee Shack.

We spent wonderful time at the house in mid August 2023. The view was spectacular and the weather is quite pleasant in that part of island. The sound of frogs singing at night is something unique in the area. I recorded the sound and listen to it when I go to sleep.

This tree house was amazing! It was a joy to listen to the birds, frogs and admire the geckos. The view was wonderful with the house being clean and well stocked. There was even aloe available for our sunburns. Many beach items are available to use while at the home. The teenage boys in our group enjoyed the loft. I feel the the photos of home are accurate. We would love to stay here again!

There is no denying that the views from this house are stunning. 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.
