Charming Oceanfront 2-bedroom house in Papaikou with WiFi and AC | House in Papaikou

Stay comfortably in Papaikou at our Koholā 2-bedroom house. The bedrooms feature 1 king bed and 1 queen bed, perfect for a small group of guests. The 2 bathrooms offer both a shower and the second bathroom also has a bathtub for your enjoyment.
With amenities like solar powered AC, free washing machine and dryer, Starlink WiFi, free parking, an outdoor pool and hot tub between the two houses, and numerous higher end appliances, your stay will be terrific.
Guests love our focus on eco-living and pesticide free orchard where you can pick your own fruit. We are powered 100% by solar.
Koili Point is less than 1/4 mile from the 4-mile Scenic Drive route and close to the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden, Akaka Falls, Rainbow Falls and the Hawaii Planation Museum.
Our family has great respect for the land and hope you will as well. Realizing you, like most of our guests, are probably coming from an urban setting, our aim is to provide you with an oasis of natural comfort that will help you smoothly transition from noise and daily work pace to nature's sounds and rhythm.
As such, we have chosen to power our house with solar using an array of 48 solar panels and Blue Ion batteries. We have also installed a Generac backup generator for those spates of cloudy days to ensure AC is abundant. For the most part, you would not even know the house is powered by the sun and augmented by propane as needed. Part of the experience we provide is that we are part of nature -- and not apart from it.
We also chose to use Hawaii County water as the aquifer in Papa'ikou has to be one of the purest in the world.
From the porch (lanai), in the winter, there is a very high probability you will be able to see whales breaching off-shore. We have also seen dolphins resting in the bay just to the south of the property in the mid-morning hours.
As we mentioned, we have another house which is on the opposite side of the pool, hot tub, and tiki hut patio. That house is a mirror image of this one and is 40 feet apart at its closest point.
In the house, we have done our best to make it extremely comfortable. Organic cotton mattresses and sheets, teak and mango bedframes, TOTO washlets that are hands free with a remote control, possibly the best washer and dryer one can buy, teak swivel chairs on the island, top end appliances, handblown glass fixtures in the kitchen and dining room, usb outlets in various spots in case you forgot your adapter, etc...
For beachgoers, we have beach mats, beach chairs, beach towels, masks and snorkels, and coolers. No to mention the resort style pool and hot tub with safety fence!
Our landscaping efforts are a true work-in-progress both because we enjoy it and because it's a lot of work! We continue to plant new fruit trees and various ground covers so the look is always changing. We are always looking to improve yet hope you will be quite pleased with what we have to date.
We decided to go completely off-grid in terms of electricity and are 100% solar powered. Important to know is that while this means the AC will run from the early morning into the dusk hours, it will not run 24 hours in order to ensure that the rest of the house is powered all through the night.
Once the batteries recharge back to 90% full in the morning, the AC will start up and will run until the batteries reduce to 80% full. Once the AC automatically turns off after dusk, we have ceiling and floor fans as needed. Also, you might actually prefer to open the windows as nighttime temps in Pāpaʻikou are almost always in the 60s so enjoy nature! That is one of our goals!
Also, to maximize AC running time, use the washer in the daytime hours.
On the property, there are coconuts year round for you to enjoy as well as various fruits ripening throughout the year for you to pick off the trees. We have a number of young trees as well and with each passing season, more are coming into bloom.
Our Meyer lemon trees are superstars and for most months of the year, you will be able to squeeze 'just picked' lemons on your fresh fish. As avocadoes ripen, you may enjoy spreading them on toast for your breakfast choice. We have already picked many hands of bananas as well as lychee.
This past summer, we have had papayas, bananas, lychees and mangos available. Cut up or blend into a smoothie? Next year we should have another 10 trees with fruits. Some guests enjoy spicing up their appetizers or meals with our Hawaiian chili peppers. They are small yet pack a punch!
Maybe you would enjoy using the leaves from our curry or allspice trees in your favorite recipe as well. If you have never smelled a puakenikeni or pak lan flower, you will have the chance as well at Koili Point.
In the winter months, there is nothing more magnificent than seeing humpback whales breaching as you sit on the lanai. We have seen them as early as December and as late as April. Some years have more than others and there are usually 3 official whale counts on all of the Hawaiian Islands in late Jan, Feb and March of each year.
And on clear nights when the moon is full, you will better understand why we call our home on the point, Koili -- which poetically translates to 'moonlight resting on the ocean'.
Aloha and have a wonderful stay!
We hope you enjoy what our place and Papaikou has to offer.
