Guest Reviews
Reviews
The kitchen was fully stocked with appliances, pots, pans, serveware, you name it. We enjoyed cooking meals at home for the family. The property is gorgeous and the fruit growing on the property were a wonderful bonus. The pictures don't do this place justice! The house is much larger than it appears and the view is perfect.
Property was great. Very peaceful. Greatly enjoyed the stay. Would absolutely rent again. Several times during the stay our host checked in on us to make sure everything was going smooth. Only issue we had was first night finding the property we got lost a little bit back tracked and followed the host directions better. Would absolutely rent again.
We celebrated my 50th birthday on Father’s Day with our kids and grandkids. The pictures on VRBO do not do justice for how stunning this property is. My experience with most properties is that the pictures always look better than the actual. TOTAL OPPOSITE in this case. My kids arrived at the property first and said we don’t even have to leave. Such a paradise is an understatement. We had more than enough room to be together without feeling crammed in. The open windows, speakers to easily connect to, kitchen to cook and play games and create beautiful memories will stay with our family forever. Watering plants and caring for the pool and hot tub made it feel like home. The road up to the house became a crowd favorite, as there was always something new to see. Exploring the island was wonderful, but coming “home” was always an ahhhh moment. Communication with Jeni was super easy. The only hard thing was leaving. I will definitely book this again and recommend a stay here. We had absolutely everything we needed. Thank you for opening up your home. Jeni story is beautiful.
Our week-long stay at Pu'u Mahana Plantation was wonderful! We brought three generations of family -- kids/teens through grandparents. First and foremost, the views are stunning!! It doesn't matter where you are standing at the house, you are surrounded by such natural beauty! We appreciated having several bedroom options and places to gather inside/out. The kitchen is fully stocked and had everything we could have wanted for preparing and enjoying meals. Jeni provides so many items to make the stay comfortable such as beach towels, coolers, boogie boards, board games. The pool and patio area was gorgeous day and night --- full ocean views during the day and beautifully lit up with torches and lights at night. Walking the property was a peaceful activity each day -- it feels like a true getaway. There is truly a "symphony" of sounds surrounding you - birds, frogs and more. We liked the area of Captain Cook - access to good snorkeling, fun local places to eat, and friendly people at the farmer's market. Jeni was a great host and responded quickly to any questions we had.
The ever-so slightly out of town location made for a relaxing, peaceful day to day living. You feel alone with your group on the property - allowing for a serene experience. House is large, lots of space, never felt cramped. It's a bit older house, which means slightly dated aspects - but not in a way that made the stay uncomfortable. The property managers were available when we had an issues and they were resolved without any overhead from us. Thanks for a lovely big-island stay!
We had a wonderful visit to the Big Island and Jeni’s home was a delight. Everything was well maintained and the house and grounds are beautiful. The little town of Captain Cook was a quick trip for supplies, and the proximity to terrific snorkeling was a daily joy. We loved picking avocados, starfruit and lemons and cooking in the well stocked kitchen. The sunsets are amazing from the house! Jeni was a responsive and gracious host. Our family of nine appreciated the opportunity to share her wonderful home.
We stayed at this beautiful home 5 years ago, and had a great experience. Since that time, it appears that the owners have given up on guest satisfaction and home maintenance. The yard appears un-mowed for a month, and there is an absolute mountain of garbage and recyclables behind the garage, stinking and drawing flies, feral cats, and who knows what else. The biggest problem was the refrigerator, which apparently has not been working properly for a while, since all the home instructions warn guests to close the fridge tightly. We were diligent about that, yet it still only got to 50 degrees F at most times. Our daughter had stomach issues for the last two days there and two days at our next house, very likely from eating food that was spoiled. One of the requirements was that guests had to wash and dry bath towels before leaving, a very difficult task when you are showering and packing to get out by 10:00 AM. The cookware and glassware (plastic) is very poor, not what you would expect at these prices. I hope the owners take more interest in this home, it's a great place with so much to offer. Sad to see it in this state of neglect.
had a very enjoyable 2 week stay with extended family, including 3 toddlers. Jeni was always available to assist with issues, questions - not that many arose. The property is located welcomingly in the hills to provide just enough buffer to be away from the hustle-bustle, but close enough to a grocery store and other essentials to make the stay very enjoyable. The house was also stocked with every imaginable amenity, including a pack-n-play for our youngest, Would definitely stay again. Mahalo!!!
The house was great and loved the open sliding doors. Anything you may need is there. It is secluded and nightly climate is cool and soothing. The house is spread out and beautiful to sit by the pool to visit with family or watch children swim. Would recommend all the way. Very close grocery stores.
This is simply an amazing property tucked into a great corner of the Big Island. It gives the right amount of privacy while maintaining easy access to the area (which has some of the friendliest people).
This home provided all the amenities we had been told to expect There were coolers and beach equipment, a great pool. tiki lights, and plenty of room. The kitchen was fully equipped and plenty of parking space. The grounds are very nice with avocadoes, papaya and palms. The location is within fifteen minutes of three beaches and easy to get to Highway 11 which circles the island. The driveway to the house is narrow but paved and the directions to access the property are excellent. The home easily accommodates a large family, couples and singles. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the owner is very easy to work with.
