Koa + Paka: Embrace the elements in style

At Koa + Paka, you’ll be immersed in the elements and "aloha" spirit of the island. There are 2 distinct structures:

Koa Ku'ono: Defined by hand-carved tropical woodwork, this 1 bed/1 bath home features a full kitchen, a private queen bedroom, and living area with a sleeper sofa.

Hale Paka: A "big" Tiny Home with modern amenities, a private bedroom, and two unique lofts - one with a queen bed and one a cozy nook. Unlike most tiny homes, Hale Paka offers a full kitchen and a spacious bathroom.

More details:
Full Kitchens: A complete culinary space featuring full-sized refrigerators, standard gas (propane) ranges, and ample prep space in both structures.

Full Baths: A full-sized bathroom with full bath and showers in both structures.

Laundry Pavilion: Just a few steps from your door, a dedicated laundry room with a full-sized washer and dryer.

The outdoor living areas are shrouded in bamboo, creating a natural screen for the dedicated seating area. Whether you're sipping Kona coffee or listening to the rain, the wrap-around greenery ensures your stay is beautiful.

The two structures are about 80' apart, so perfect for a bit of privacy yet convenient to walk and connect.

A/C is only available in the master bedroom of the main house. While ceiling and portable fans are available in the main living areas of each structure.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features 2 bathrooms and space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a microwave, and a refrigerator.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The property was very nice and peaceful. It provided for all of our needs. Upon arrival the house was very hot inside, it wasn’t until later in the evening when it started to cool down. The weather was nice and sunny and understand why it would be hot. Maybe having more fans in the house would be helpful. Overall great experience!! Would recommend for anyone looking for a place to stay to relax and enjoy the quiet countryside with family.
