What a charming cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cottage is just perfect for one person. A very short walk to several beaches less than a mile along the beach to a great resort with dining and as few bars on the beach. Snorkeling up the beach. It’s just perfect for recharging your batteries and relaxing. A very spiritual place.

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!

Amazing and perfect cottage

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.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay at Plumeria Cottage! Located on a dead-end road and across from the beach, it was the perfect place to relax between snorkeling adventures. We particularly loved the outdoor shower and the spacious lanai. A welcome basket of Hawaiian goodies awaited us when we arrived, and Property Management checked in with us to ensure that we were enjoying our visit -- much appreciated. We would love to return!

Plumeria Cottage

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.

TypOs

We stayed at the Plumeria Cottage the first week of May. The house is a little piece of heaven. If you haven't stayed in the Puako area, it's a real treat. However you have to book through 2papayas. I was given a price via e-mails and predicated expense dicissions based on given information. Later when we got our damage deposit back. It was less than what I was told was refundable. Wait to get things in writing before commiting with these people. note: vrbo site gives correct info on refunds. 2papayas website gives false info on refunds and so do they.

Points forts : Arrivée, communication et emplacement.
Excellent location, cute cottage. The main reason I did not give a higher rating is that the host/owner is relying on the location alone to pull the entire desirability of the rental. For what they’re charging, I was disappointed with the overly compact space, and the “run down” feel in much of the interior. We only had enough space to open and place one large suitcase in the bedroom as the only thing that will fit is the bed. Screen door barely functional with holes in it. Curtains hard to use practically, as they don’t slide easily on the bamboo rods. It was a 10 minute project every morning and evening to draw the curtains. The walls were stained and/or dirty in many places and paint is chipped .. not updated in years. Decor feels cheap and overdone with some pieces that are torn and/or really old looking. From a cleanliness perspective, there is dust accumulated in less used but still visible places like higher surfaces/top of curtain rods etc. We had to accommodate an Orkin ant spraying in the middle of our stay (we were home at the time) because the place was infested. Although they were responsive to the problem, it really impacted our time there as they were EVERYWHERE

THE BEST rental experience

I was so impressed with this rental in so many ways - the quality of the furnishings, the variety of supplies and the abundance of stock. Towels galore, best stocked kitchen ever encountered and the comfort was beyond my expectation. The location is quiet and convenient to beach park, beach trail, stores, etc. I could have stayed much longer but with 2 weeks here I really got a long over due, relaxing vacation that rejuvenated me. The cottage has a very unique Hawaiian feeling that one doesn't find at the vacation condos available in abundance and that was what I was seeking....aloha. This is aloha. I've also been snorkeling for years and spend a good amount of years in Hawaii over the years but the snorkeling out of the Puako beach park was the best, bar none. And I could walk there! In addition, I've been renting from homeaway, VRBO and others for longer than I care to admit and have virtually always had good experiences but this beats them all hands down. Mary and the 2 Papayas staff made all the difference. I got an advanced call in the event there were questions, we were greeted at the property at a very late hour (and he was standing by the road with a flashlight waving me in for landing!), was delighted by the ripe papayas waiting for me along with the gift bag and their overall communication was so professional and friendly. I was very impressed and felt appreciated, not just another renter. Thank you Mary, Sean and owner - Bravo!

Unbelievable, truly a magical stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

Cottage is not very close to reasonably priced restaurants so plan on using the kitchen or traveling to eat out.
