Experience Paradise at At Awapuhi Views in Captain Cook, Hawaii
Your dream getaway awaits at At Awapuhi Views, where you can effortlessly check out the surf conditions and bask in the gentle breezes of Captain Cook, Hawaii. Nestled halfway along Miloli'i Road, this charming home offers a generous master bedroom featuring a luxurious King bed. Enjoy breathtaking views from the bow windows or step out onto the expansive wrap-around ocean-side deck straight from your master suite.
The master suite also includes a walk-in closet, an en suite bath complete with twin sinks, a tub, and a shower. The second bedroom, slightly smaller, is furnished with a queen bed and sliding doors that lead to its own section of the deck. You will find two closets for ample storage and a conveniently located bathroom nearby, equipped with a shower. All bathrooms are fitted with top-of-the-line Kohler fixtures.
In the kitchen, you'll discover a well-stocked space including a variety of spices and essential appliances. A coffee maker, French press, and grinder are there to support your caffeine cravings. The dishwasher features a steam cycle for your convenience. This property operates on catchment (rain) water, complemented by a counter dispenser providing filtered spring water, ensuring safety as per the University of Hawaii guidelines.
While you may hear the water pump occasionally, rest assured it operates safely for personal use and kitchen tasks, although we recommend against drinking it directly. For drinking water, you will be provided with bottles, and feel free to fill jugs in the garage from the exceptional free spring water available at Waiohino, just south before Naalehu — it is indeed some of the best-tasting water!
This tropical haven features lightweight patio furniture, perfect for rearranging to suit your outdoor needs. The house boasts elegant granite countertops resembling lava flows, travertine stone tiles, cherry wood floors, and new privacy French doors. The dining area is vibrant and cozy, complemented by a large island ideal for planning your adventures with maps. Local artwork, including pieces by artist Cindy Coats, adorns the walls, adding a personal touch.
For your comfort, all ceiling fans are brand new, and a portable 10,000 BTU A/C unit is readily available, although you might rely more on the refreshing nightly land breeze descending from the heights of 14,000 ft.
You can stay connected with wireless Wi-Fi provided by a local network, with boosted antenna reception delivering around 10 channels. There’s a Blu-ray player and assorted DVDs for those relaxing evenings. Mobile devices work seamlessly once you're logged onto the Wi-Fi, letting you enjoy calls and emails from the deck. We provide maps and books to facilitate your exploration, and a futon in the living room allows for added sleeping space if needed.
Just down the road, you’ll find Miloli’i, a historic Hawaiian fishing village filled with rich stories. Drive through charming residences to access the village, where a natural lava flow serves as the boat launch. With regular fishing tournaments held here, be sure to secure your car and bring a zip-lock dry bag for your keys. A sea wall provides easy water entry, with pristine snorkeling experiences awaiting you — just remember to avoid boating zones!
If a little hiking has your interest, beyond the village lies a trail leading to Honomolino Bay, marked by yellow arrows. Pack your lunch, sturdy shoes, and plenty of water as you explore this secluded black sand beach lined with picturesque palm trees. Two beach chairs with carrying straps are ready for your relaxation.
For even more snorkeling, head to the northern end of the Miloli’i subdivision where “the snorkel rock” awaits less experienced adventurers. Be cautious of swells and always swim back to the rock to exit safely. Kayak guides are also available in the vicinity for additional aquatic explorations.
Returning to your retreat, a gas grill in the garage calls for outdoor cooking, while safety protocols advise using it in the driveway. The subdivision maintains a small volunteer fire service, although you may need to contact Fire and EMS from Captain Cook, which is roughly a 30-40 minute commute away.
Because Miloli’i typically enjoys a dry climate, recent rains have encouraged vegetation growth and potential mosquitoes. We recommend utilizing bug spray located atop the refrigerator, particularly during dawn and dusk. Exercise caution when navigating loose rocks and steep areas—our property is not ideal for children under 12 due to its terrain.
The garage hosts a laundry room, operational with the quirky water pump metabolism, allowing you to manage laundry alongside meal prep. Additional items such as trash bags and zip locks are within reach, as is a hose for rinsing off gear. Though snorkel equipment is available, renting specialized gear in Kona will ensure proper fit and comfort.
The closest amenities, including restaurants and groceries, can be found in Ocean View, approximately a 25-30 minute drive away. Indulge in local flavors at "Mehe" Restaurant and Bar or explore food trucks making appearances. Venture north towards Captain Cook for popular diners and delicious pizza options, including "Patz Pies." Don't miss the opportunity to refill water jugs at Hookena.
Your adventure to the Volcano area sets up beautifully with an early start. Bring along a cooler loaded with snacks for a day of exploration, as the town of Volcano is rich with restaurants and art shops, serving as the gateway to the National Park. Be sure to pack flashlights for nighttime exploration as the darkness on the lava is profound.
Lastly, help yourself to fresh fruit and vegetables grown right on the property
