Paradise
Staying at Sammy’s home was a life-changing experience. The entire property is spectacular; phenomenal views, the enchanting sounds of the coqui frogs and passing rain, and surrounded by nature’s beauty. The house is well stocked and beautifully renovated with moments around every corner to be appreciated. Watching the sunset from the pool and hot tub was the perfect way to end a long day of adventures. Far better than staying in a hotel. Best Vrbo rental and host…we will return for sure!

A quiet retreat
Our host, Sammy, was amazing and welcoming. He managed to be present yet invisible all at the same time and the home offered everything we needed for a productive working retreat with some relaxation when possible. Nui ka mahalo iā ʻoe e Sammy a me Ka Māla o Kīlauea.

Beautiful, spacious, and relaxing!
This might be the most relaxing place I’ve ever been. Our first large family vacation (mom, siblings, and our respective families) in a very long time, we weren’t sure how it would be staying in one house together for over a week. 😉The property has so much space and places to just “be” that we never felt crowded. Even better, we were all able to relax and hang out at our leisure, go on day trips to Hilo or National and State parks. There was plenty to do, even if it was tempting not to leave the house. Everything about this property was just gorgeous. The landscaping was incredible, especially for a family from such a different climate. The owners have obviously put a lot of care into the property. The coqui frogs at night were absurdly loud - not a complaint. It added to the feeling that we were someplace amazing and different. The geckos were also very popular with my family. They were everywhere. We had an amazing time and I would highly recommend this property for those looking to relax and maybe not try to cram too much into your days. I just think it would be a shame to rent the property and not enjoy it. Finally, Sammy was incredibly helpful and responsive to all of my questions. Much appreciated!!

Amazing property, wonderful host
Words cannot describe how amazing our experience was at Punya. To start, Sammy was an incredible host. Prior to and throughout our trip Sammy was easily accessible, answered all of our questions and was so kind and welcoming. We were so appreciative and in awe of hearing about the property’s and area’s history and inception. His hard work, passion and love of the land radiates throughout the property. The property itself is phenomenal–it is set on beautiful Pahoa land with amazing plants, vegetation and with majestic and friendly animals. The home is spacious and was very comfortable for our large group of 7 adults and 4 children. The decor throughout the home and property is beautiful, thoughtful and creates a spiritual ambience. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare and enjoy our family meals. All of the rooms were also well stocked with towels, sheets and supplies. These made for perfect adventurous day trips or “chill time” at the property. And of course…the pool and hot tub…a definite highlight for all of us on this phenomenal trip. Lastly, Sammy allowed us to host a 50th anniversary party for our parents at Punya. All of our guests were in awe of the beauty and comfort of the property. We were also able to have a fire dance performance that was elevated by the exquisiteness of Punya. We are so grateful to have had this amazing family experience at Punya. We very much hope to return in the future!

Hawaiian Thanksgiving
Sammy IS an amazing host. He was there when we arrived and greeted us with a very warm Aloha welcome. After giving us a quick tour, he left us to enjoy the lush Zen gardens, beautiful orchards, stunning ocean views, and extremely clean mansion! The beds were so comfortable! Every part of the house was super clean and made for relaxation. The breeze was so sweet and cooled the entire house! The sunrise and sunset views were breathtaking. We picked papayas, guava, kumquats, and limes from the backyard orchard every morning. The pool and hot tub was perfect for days to unwind after short trips to Kona, Volcano National Park, and the Hakuna Coast. Sammy went over and beyond with hospitality even sharing our love for avocados! Thank you Sammy for your lovely personality and opening up your home to us. This Thanksgiving was full of many blessings and meeting you was one of them! Mahalo.

Beautiful Location. But it doesn't quite work.
The property is set in the beautiful and lush rainforest of Hawaii near the town of Pahoa. The hosts are kind and gracious. The people are nice. The views are gorgeous, the pool is amazing, and the decorations at the property are wonderful. That said, it makes for a stressful vacation for 3 reasons: 1)Bugs. Lots and lots of bugs. To be clear, this is a rainforest, and bugs are problem. But loose fitting screens, gaps in windows, and general disrepair makes for lots of insects in the home. 2)Humidity. There's no AC at the property. Fine for an eco-retreat. Not great for a true vacation. It's fine if that's what you're into, but it was hard to sleep on damp, sweaty sheets. 3) Finicky equipment. Everything's a bit run down. The pool/hot tub situation requires a small hike, and some hard-to-remember instructions. I forgot to turn off the pool heater and incurred a hefty additional charge. I was warned. So it was my fault. Better solution: an alternative setup so that the warning isn't necessary.
