We're so glad we were able to stay in Plumeria Cottage for five days, though really we should have booked it for at least a week. The house is perfectly set up for a short or long-term stay, with a well-equipped kitchen, generous supply of towels, fast WiFi, and of course that wonderful outdoor (but very private) shower. The location is outstanding. In just five minutes, you can walk to an amazing snorkeling spot near the end of the Puako Road. From there, you can pick up the Ala Kahakai, a shoreline trail that extends up and down the coast, and walk 15 minutes south to the Fairmont Orchid (and beyond). You can also pick up the Ala Kahakai at the boat ramp on the north end of Puako and hike north to Beach 69, Hapuna, and beyond. Of course you can drive to these places too, but one thing that made Plumeria Cottage so special for us were these unexpected walking options. Another thing was the prompt and thoughtful communications and great local tips from the property manager, Mary, and other 2Papaya staff. We hope to return soon!
