About this house rental
“Kaiakea” means 'expansive view of the sea.' This home provides exactly that. With palms indoors and out, views of ocean, Kohala Mountain and Maui, you’ll feel close to the sea everywhere in the house. Designed by the artistic hand of a resident architect to make the most of its seaside location, this home is kama’aina (child of the land, longtime resident) owned and loved for 30 years and now continuing under a different family. It combines the essential beach-house views of ocean, honu (sea turtles), wintertime whales and striking sunsets with the best amenities that a luxury home offers. With first-floor bedroom suites, and two upstairs “view suites” with private balconies, and an open sleeping loft, you’ll find plenty of space for both solitude and community for your extended family or group. The home features all the amenities you could want including a full kitchen with two refrigerators and a dishwasher, new mattresses including a Tempur-Pedic in the master bedroom and comfortable bedding, TV's, and high-speed wireless internet. Relax on the spacious, covered, ocean side lanai for meals, reading, napping or just plain good conversation with family any time of the day. Particularly, stunning are the colorful sunsets over the Pacific. Winter months, enjoy the humpback whale show right out front.

The best location for a peaceful holiday. Thr house is nice, clean, well equiped but a bit worn out - as the sea is so close, some parts were rusty.

It’s like living at the aquarium! Turtles, eels, puffer fish, sharks, and colorful tropical fish at the base of the seawall. Outstanding snorkeling and diving too! Boogie boarding at the beach was minutes away. Quite and safe street with wild pigs and turkeys roaming were a cool surprise.

We had the most AMAZING time at Big Island Kaiakea House. This was our fist trip as a family to Hawaii and it definitely won't be our last! We have 8 children ranging from 5 years old to 24 and this house was perfect! I already miss it soo much! This stretch of Puako is like something from a storybook. right out front we saw Humpback whales constantly, along with so many turts, eels, angel fish, humuhumunukunukuapua's, flying fish, butterfly fish, porkupine fish and schools of who knows what they're called. We found a small area of the reef steps from the sea wall perfect for our young ones to snorkel without being exposed to currents and waves that was absolutely full of sea-life. There we saw an eagle ray, manta rays, black tip reef sharks and so, so much more! We went to Costington's and filled both refrigerators with food and Champaign and really didn't want to leave except for a few beach days at Hapuna and 69 (Thanks for the use of the boogie boards in the garage). I really want to thank the owners for making it available for New Years and Trinity for being such good hosts. As you can see by the booking availability, we're not the only ones who feel this way about this place!!

Reviewer Comments:
BI Kaiakea is such a perfect home for extended families. Every room is spacious, uncluttered, handsomely decorated, and open to the sea. We found it spotlessly clean, very well stocked with kitchen and laundry supplies, and perfectly designed for a large family to spend time together. We spent many relaxing hours on the deck, watching sunsets, and enjoying the turtles just below the seawall. Access to the ocean directly in front of the house is limited, but it’s just a short drive to several beautiful beaches. Our grandchildren had the loft to themselves and each couple had a huge bedroom and bath. Our grandchildren especially loved the enormous showers! We’d definitely recommend BI Kaiakea!

We were a family of twelve with six adults and six grandchildren from the age of 5 to 14 celebrating our 50th anniversary! This house is amazing! The staff of Mary and 2Papayas made our stay perfect! The sunsets were exquisite. We were there twelve days and never missed a sunset. The location of the home was perfect for exploring the island. Everything you need for a perfect vacation is provided. We were at our own private resort! Would love to return to this beautiful paradise.! Thank you Mary and 2 Papayas!

A spectacular property and amazing service. Highly recommend this home!

This property is in the perfect location--Just far enough from Kona to avoid the crowds, but close enough for relatively easy access to food and necessities. And being right on the oceanfront makes a huge difference. We spent a lot of time at the house because there was so much to do without even having to leave. We didn't eat out at all during our stay because the cooking facilities at the house were great and it was the perfect place to enjoy our meals. The house was spacious and each bedroom had its own bath. It had great airflow in the house, so on the warmer days we would feel a good breeze even inside. The property manager was great and reached out to us both before and during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed.
The house has 4 private bedrooms, so up to 8 can sleep privately. The two downstairs masters are massive and the two upstairs ones are reasonably large as well. There are two twin beds in the upstairs loft and two daybeds, which would technically sleep 4 more people. I would say that two adults and two children could comfortably sleep in the loft area since the two daybeds are a bit shorter. The loft sleeping area didn't really have any privacy, but one of the upper bedrooms could be closed off from the private bath to make it easier for those sleeping in the open loft area to change or use the bathroom when needed without disturbing anyone in that bedroom.

Amazing house. Weather was perfect, whales, turtles, baby sharks, baby stingrays, eels all right in front of the sea wall. Lots of room for everyone to have space to relax.

Fantastic house. Easily accommodates four couples plus kids. Beautiful ocean front setting with nice Lanai. Whales in abundance. We barely went out for meals choosing to cook and enjoy the house. This may be our favorite rental in 30 years of short term rentals. 2 Papayas is also a great management company. We left two days ago and already miss it!

Our stay in Kona at Kaiakea was great. Waking and falling asleep to the sound of the waves and rising with the sunset was exactly what we needed. We came to connect with Earth and this home provided a comfortable environment to do so in. The home is spacious and well equipped. The indoor/outdoor showers were also surprisingly wonderful. We cooked many meals in the kitchen and on the grill outdoors, ate meals on the back porch and in the dining room (which had magnificent views of the water as well), and sat in the backyard to watch the sunset every evening. We definitely recommend staying at Kaiakea and would do so again - it is great if you are travelling with family, with children, or in couples. Mary and her property management team at 2 Paypayas was also very responsive for our every need.

Absolutely beautiful, spectacular views. Perfect Week!
Great time spent with family, house was perfect for this.

This property can only be described in superlatives: lovely, well appointed, convenient to important services and attended by an efficient and ever-present staff. We were a small group of four and the house can really absorb a much larger group but it was perfect for us in every respect. I cannot recommend this house highly enough - we have stayed in a large number of HomeAway places but this is one of the best we've had. Kudos to Mary Fox and her staff at 2Papayas for managing this beautiful place so well.
5.0
The home was beautiful, and we could not have asked for a nicer setting. Coffee on the sea wall each morning with 5 turtles, 11 eels and the occasional humuhumunukunukuapua'a was such a treat. The property is well stocked and the 2 Papayas folks took great care of us. Loved it!

We booked this house for our annual family reunion of 3 families of 11 people and this house was perfect. It is situated on a wonderful stretch of ocean with natural tide pools, and a comfortable sea wall with sea turtles and other ocean life right on the other side of the wall. The house itself is large and very current and feels every bit like a luxurious beach house. There are many places to relax with your family and it never felt crowded. It is nicely appointed with linens, towels, kitchen items as well as beach items such as boogie boards, snorkeling gear and water shoes. Everyone agreed that the house itself was the highlight of our vacation.

We absolutely love staying at this house in Puako. We have returned multiple times over the years and it remains our favorite vacation rental on the Big Island. The house is very comfortable and perfect for large families. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, and the bathrooms are well-stocked with amenities and plenty of towels. The kitchen has wonderful appliances and is very thoughtfully stocked with every utensil, pot, pan, bowl, sheet pan you could need. The laundry appliances are new and the laundry room is well-stocked; we also love using the clothesline outside to dry our clothes in the breeze. The lanai facing the ocean is a perfect spot for breakfast and has tons of seating.and a hammock for relaxing. Can you tell we love this house?A shout out to the housekeepers who keep everything spotless and who have always been incredibly kind and efficient. A big thank you to Marley and Crystal who were so helpful and promptly answered all of our questions during our stay. We look forward to returning again soon!
