Charming and Private Beach Home
We have stayed a lot of places on the various islands, but this one is by far our new favorite! Cute and very private older beach house with an unbeatable location if you need to recharge. Property manager Robbie was great to communicate with and everything was as listed. We will definitely be back!

Great stay in Puako
Extremely cute old-school Hawaii property, and can't beat the ocean access for snorkeling and kayaking / SUP. Communication with the owners was excellent and prompt -- they seemed very organized and on top of things. Great quiet neighborhood, all you hear is the water and the ocean breezes. Lack of AC meant it was warm in the afternoons (July visit), but the house was very well ventilated and we had constant breezes moving through. We loved our stay!

Location of Dreams
If your idea of a vacay in Hawaii is luxurious digs and maid service, then this is not your place. But if the idea of an idyllic semi-private beach twelve steps from your deck is your bag, then this is definitely your place! The house is old Hawaiian funky, but crispy clean, and very practical for two couples or a family of four to six. We just stayed as a couple, and loved every moment of our stay. Truly a gem of a location, and the 2 Papayas management team are great communicators and very thoughtful. We'll definitely try to stay again next time we're on the Big Island.

Carefree Vacation
What a beautiful location and a house with ample space, privacy and character. We had a fantastic time and the team at 2 Papayas checked in regularly to make sure things were going well. From the house we watched Humpback Whales, walked tide pools, swam, snorkeled and just relaxed. The house is a bit dated but comfortable and clean. The only issue we had was with ants and can be expected from time to time on the island. The managers offered to bring out the pest guy, but ultimately we dealt with it ourselves and it was fine. Thanks for a great stay!

Hawaii Heaven
We had five adult family members and found the home perfect for our vacation. Most beautiful view of the ocean with our own little beach to launch kayaks to snorkel. Very close to some of the nicest beaches on the Big Island. The kitchen is well equipped and plenty of nice linens & towels. A great bbq on the deck overlooking the ocean. Many members of our family needed to work on their computers each day and the internet was fast & reliable. There is even an office space for use. We loved the private location and hope to return in the future.

Lovely Big Island Location
Absolutely beautiful and peaceful getaway on the Big Island with a beach and snorkeling right outside the door. We were greeted daily by sea turtles and days ended with gorgeous sunsets. Easy access to other nearby popular beaches, restaurants and shopping. Management was superb and responsive. Highly recommend.

This beachside rustic cutie held up to Hurricane Lane's winds. Perfect location for this great home.
I love this rustic gem. Located behind the Church of Christ, you could not ask for a more private, quiet beachfront home. We snorkeled most days further down Puako, as the harbor was always churned up, but you're 2 minutes away from a 20+ turtle sunset, eagle rays, turtle cleaning stations, white mouthed morays and more. The home itself is very traditional. Not for the high end lovers (or those who must have AC). The a-frame structures kept the winds flowing throughout. There's plenty of room for 6 people to sleep comfortably. The kitchen is basic but functional. The walls have treasures from the sea and lots of books to read. But you're here for the view and your own little beach attached to an even larger one that curves around for the most beautiful sunset view on the island. Mary, the property manager and Robbie from 2 Papayas were wonderful. We were here during Hurricane Lane and they called almost every day to check in on us. Hurricane force winds hit us one night, and this house was steadfast against the 50+ mph winds. But what's amazing about Hawaii is all you have to be is patient and the sun will always come out again. Oh, the view of the stars from the master bed had me up at 3:30 almost every night. Unbelievable!! Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Mahalo, 2A! - ME & Steve
