A ¾ acre lot full of fruit trees seasonally oranges, mangos, papaya, avocado, lime, passion fruit, lemons, cherries and bread fruit.

Nearby Attractions

beaches, hikes, art galleries, groceries, restaurants, yoga, cultural centre, museums, library and cafe's with live music. Fantastic cycling and hiking/running routes if you like to be active.

Old Hawaii at its best

Experience a real Hawaiian feeling in the town of Hawi, in this lovely home. True relaxation and few tourists. Would highly recommend if you are ready for a low key vacation. Just one issue: the home is across the road from a rooster farm, so if you want to experience true Hawaii, bring your earplugs.

Once again we had an amazing time in Kapa'au. We adventured the whole island, and had a cozy home to come back to every night. Well equipped, clean, and very quiet. I mean except for the roosters and coqui frogs :) We love it!!

This property had everything from beach equipment, washer and drier, and well stocked kitchen equipment. Thank you to our Host.

Welcome to Old Hawaii

Very nice and clean old-style Hawaiian home in rural area. It is very private and quiet although it is likely you will hear the resident fowl and frogs. It is very close to a number of historic sites, beaches, and hikes--and interesting country roads. A few stores in Hawi and Kapuu have coffee and other snacks (and local art) and there is a nearby grocery. If you are looking for "off the beaten path" this place should be on your list.

This Hawaiian style house has been thoughtfully and carefully renovated so that it retains the charm of the 1940s plantation house but is totally comfortable for a longer stay. We loved it. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you need - including a wine fridge and plenty of dishware and cooking utensils. Large airy rooms, including a sun room off the kitchen and a dining room. You could easily host 12 for dinner, if you're so inclined! Lovely yard, featuring fruit trees and many birds, including chickens and their chicks, who are always entertaining. Kapa'au and Hawi are lovely little towns to exlpore, and the rail trail at the bottom of the road is an added plus if you like running or walking. All in all, we highly recommend this house. Perfect if you want something a little off the beaten path. Oh, and I almost forgot: comfortable furniture for reading, with good lighting! Not easy to find in rentals, so good job!

This is a 3 bedroom home with a large front and back yard. Big private porch looks out on the front yard with a small ocean view. Lots of avocado and mango trees. Feels like you are in a small country town in Hawaii. Umbrellas and beach chairs are provided.

Beautiful plantation home in secluded neighborhood!

We all enjoyed the spaciousness of this well kept plantation home. Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, etc. Keep in mind that the local fauna has a nice chorus going at times - coqui frogs, hens, rooster- which didn’t bother us, but you may want to pack ear plugs. Everything was very clean and tidy and our group had a lovely, relaxing, time. Thank you!

A Welcoming Haven

We arrived from the mainland during the COVID pandemic, so my son and I had to quarantine for 14 days. Not a hardship! This sweet plantation house in a bucolic setting provided all that we could need or want. The owner thought of every detail — from adequate amounts of ziploc bags to comfy white towels. The recent renovations make the charming farmhouse style feel up to date where it especially counts: the kitchen and bathroom. Plus, whenever I had a question, the owner’s response was swift and generous. I will recommend this lovely home to friends looking for a rental in beautiful North Kohala.

About the host

Hosted by Dominique Spragg

Host profile image
Catherine and Dominique live on Vancouver Island in the seaside town of Sidney. We have both been entrepreneurs running their own businesses and appreciate service and quality. When not in Hawaii spending their holidays maintaining and upgrading their house, they spend time with our Portuguese Water Dog (Wylie) and African Grey Parrot (Phoebe) boating in the Gulf Islands on a classic 1968 40 ft Grenfell MV. It appears caring for old wooden boats and homes is an integral part of our lives.

Why they chose this property

When looking for a property to call our own in Hawaii, we looked for something which had character and was away from the usual hotel, golf, beach track. We were looking for a place which spoke to the history of the place we had grown to appreciate during several visits to the area. Finding the Doctor's house which belonged to the Union Mill Plantation company doctor, was the perfect balance.

What makes this property unique

The house is tucked away yet close to amenities. A very private isolated back garden makes a perfect sanctuary full of the sights and sounds of nature and the wind blowing through the palms. Frequent sightings of local birds and the occasional wild piggy (harmless) always make meals in the garden room entertaining. A grand lanai across the front of the house is nicely exposed to the trade breezes and a great place to hang out throughout the day. A comfortable living room equipped with a flat screen TV (Cable, Apple TV and Netflix included).
