Sweeping Ocean Views, Very Private Cottage

it was pure magic so peaceful and special that we just had to prolonge the stay

We were dazzled at every moment of the day. What a place for four folks to relax, explore and ponder the history of Havi. Christie’s attention to detail is impeccable: from beach bags and sheets, to delightful bath items in the coolest bath house ever, to cooking basics for grilling, to the plantings around the pool and fish pond! The morning greeting of the peacocks are a delight. The ranch land and views are beautiful and mesmerizing. If this review seems over the top and unbelievable, I’m really sincere about what I’m saying. The four of us have done a lot traveling together and this property is at the top of the list. Thank you, Christie.

Miles Away cottage was absolutely perfect! We could not have asked for a better location or a more beautiful setting. We ate every meal on the front porch under a gorgeous huge tree with a view out to the ocean. The house is fully equipped with everything you would need! Christine is so sweet and helpful and is the perfect hostess. We miss our little gecko friends and especially Lucky the duck now that we are home. You cannot go wrong booking this place.

This place is magical. Wonderful. We have stayed here many many times, same place, and it feels like our home away from home. Has everything you need. The detached bathroom/shower is delightful, the beds/linens great. Will be back again!

We loved staying at this immaculately renovated ranch cottage where every detail has been carefully thought out. We enjoyed spending a few nights at this private, romantic and charming location after spending several nights on the Kona coast. Be sure to check out the pool!

I’ve traveled to Hawaii seven or eight times and this house near Hawi was easily my favorite. Incredibly peaceful and quiet, gorgeous views, friendly animals; my 2-year-old was endlessly entertained. If you love adventuring off the beaten path and avoiding tourist crowds, this is for you. We could have stayed indefinitely and will definitely be back. Big thank you to our hosts!

Beautiful

Loved this place!!

Unique, charming, inviting, quaint, calm, unpretentious . . . pick a superlative. My wife, 15-year old son and I just had the most pleasurable and relaxing week in the Miles Away Cottage at the Puakea Ranch. The place is fantastic and I recommend it without qualification. I can't remember when I've ever forgotten about work so quickly on a holiday. The entire ambiance is special, from the wading pool off the back deck to the Japanese bath out the back door to the fresh eggs and large herb and vegetable garden 100 yards down the main path. Ocean breezes on the front porch and through the master BR windows all night. Fully equipped, including beach chairs. Great place. Christie (owner) and Josh (caretaker) were awesome and Angus and Beau (resident dogs) were perfectly behaved, periodic companions.

just a lovely place to stay. Tastefully decorated and outfitted, a very comfortable home.
