Holiday Homes in Papa

"Great house for larger families. Big deck with a wonderful view of the ocean. We came when they had high surf and the waves were specular. Cheryl was there to answer any questions about the house and the area. She gave great advice to shop before coming to the house-no local grocery stores and which mosquito repellant was the best to use. Thanks for the great stay. "

"Yurt was very clean, and well appointed with dishes, cups, silverware, coffee & sugar packets. At arrival, host showed us how to use the camping type toilet & separate incinerator toilet. Also gave us some suggestions on things to see in the area, and popular bakery 29 minutes away. Highly recommend if you’re staying in the area"

"Kurt and Kana were so kind and friendly, giving us all sorts of information about what to see and do on Big Island! The breakfasts with fresh fruit from their own farm was so delicious! I would definitely stay with them again!"

"Amazing place "

"A great place to stay - very calm and serene ambiance with beautiful views. Very good and healthy breakfast. Very hospitable and helpful staff who are very friendly. I will definitely stay there again. Thanks to all for a great experience!"

"The host went out of his way to communicate his deep knowledge of the area."

"Carl and Elma were fantastic hosts ... again, having stayed here in same room 3 years earlier. The three rooms on street level where you park with a common lobby room, with a day room for those who need to stow stuff on a checkout day, There is a great breakfast and coffee on the upper floor large balcony overlooking a naturalized area with wild pigs, cows, chickens, tree frogs, birds, and a wonderful view of the ocean. It is a unique place to stay in Hawaii and in an area that we find most interesting near the snorkeling sites and restaurants of Captain Cook. Good value."

"Beautiful home, spectacular view, gracious host. Our host went above and beyond to mail us a forgotten item to our next stop."

"We stayed Jan19-23 2026. This is not your typical VRBO. This new beach house is luxurious, even posh! Wonderful deck with lots of comfortable furniture and great ocean views. It has a double bed and 2 twins in the middle. Master bedroom with its own bath is separate, only accessible from the deck, in the back. 2 great outdoor showers. 2.5 baths. Amazing decks, with great views. Bedroom AC worked great. Huge fancy kitchen, dining, living space. We cooked dinner in twice, and the kitchen and BBQ worked perfectly. Everything in the house is new and in spotless condition. It’s across a very quiet street from the beach, so technically not ocean front—but again, great ocean views from the deck. There’s a house SW that’s barely visible, a small parking lot for Pebbles Beach across the street, another house to the NW, so you have a view from all the way south, to straight west, from the decks (and inside). To the south is a huge lava field and forest as far as the eye can see, so it’s comfortable taking a shower outside, as they face south. Road down is crazy steep! Our small Ford SUV rental struggled with just 2 of us! If you have a carload, consider renting something big, like a Suburban. Pebbles Beach, right across from the VRBO, is very dangerous; people do swim and snorkel there, but I strongly recommend against it. Owner Gregg was a great host—very helpful and communicative. If you’re looking for quiet, extremely nice, off the beaten path, this is an amazing place."
