The beach was very close by and so easy to get to. The cottage was very clean and well equipped. It was adorable inside and out. It was in a private area with a beautiful view of the mountains from our road and a sandy beach nearby. We will def be returning.

Perfect!

The Mango Cottage was the perfect place to spend our last 5 days on the island. The location is fantastic, the neighborhood is quiet and the cottage is beautifully landscaped and comfortable. Friendly and accommodating hosts made the stay even better. We hope to return soon!

Nice and Easy beach getaway

Every think about our stay at Mango Cottage in Puako was nice and easy. Location just off the beach was a breeze. The cottage was clean and simple. And Scott, the host, was responsive and helpful at all times.

Mango Cottage stay

This was such an excellent place to stay. Location on Puako Rd is a great part of island and super access to snorkeling and shoreline. The Mango Cottage had very nice quality amenities and Rick was so kind and helpful at every turn. I am for sure hoping to plan another trip back to stay at this property. I thought it was a very good value for all of the amenities and location.

Great location, great host.

We enjoyed exploring the area from the Mango Cottage. The surrounding area is just stunning! Great snorkeling right across the street. We enjoyed the comforts of the Mango Cottage-well equipped kitchen, super comfortable mattress, birds waking us in the morning. We hope to return to see the manta rays. Thanks, Scott!

Perfect beach cottage

Mango Cottage has everything you need for a beach getaway. We will plan a longer stay here next time we’re on Big Island. We had a nice easy relaxing stay. Plenty of resort amenities are close by if that’s your thing. We prefer a more local style. Mahalo nui loa Scott!

Terrific little gem in an idyllic location

My wife and I loved our stay in the Mango Cottage in Puako. Rick was nearby on the property (in the back-house) and he was attentive if we had any requests but respectful of our privacy. We took advantage of the prime location and snorkeled and visited the sea turtles at least once a day. The outdoor shower was great. We look forward to our next visit!

Sweet as a mango

This place is not glitzy at all but is homey and has what we needed to be comfortable and more. Love the outdoor shower, easy access to the neighborhood beach, and well equipped kitchen. Neighbors treated us like we belonged there! Scott was available for anything we needed like beach advice, barbecue skewers, and figuring out little quirks of the cottage. Would definitely stay here again!

Local style excellence!

These were our last 2 days on this island and this was exactly what I hoped for- local style and proximity to secluded shady awesome beaches. Would have loved to stay here longer or the whole time but we explored Kona first then Hilo side. Having once lived on Kauai myself years ago- this is what I remember and longed for!! We hope to return someday for longer! Mahalo! Kim & Pat, Margaux and Jacqui

Mango cottage is our favorite!

We Love everything about Mango cottage. Scott is a great host. The Cottage is in a beautiful neighborhood, clean, and has everything you need. My husband and son surfed right out front daily ( little swell when we where there.) We all enjoyed the snorkeling, diving, and the tide pools right across the street, and many other beaches by walking the coast trails. This property is a true Puako gem. We would move in if we could!

Mango Cottage is a great home base for exploring the island. 2nd time staying here. Host is super cool and helpful. If you need anything during your stay, he's there for you! The cottage has everything you need- plus the bedroom is air conditioned. It might sound odd to think AC is needed, but the end of summer can get toasty-so if you're comparing different places, be sure to consider AC! The neighborhood is a quiet and friendly gem - the beach access entry points are steps away, lots to explore, sunsets are amazing (there's a guy who regularly brings his pet pig!), snorkeling with all those pesky turtles and colorful fish. Pay attention to the tides-totally changes access / beach. If you hit a high tide, enjoy the view and come back at low for an amazing experience. One of our favorites from this trip was just walking outside the cottage and star gazing - it was rather mesmerizing. Mango Cottage is close enough to walk to the Fairmount along the beach if you need a resort fix. Hapuna Beach is a short drive-you don't even need to get on the Queen's Highway.

This place is an absolute gem and it was our privilege to stay. The cottage has everything you could need with a wonderful energy and ambience, we had a hard time dragging ourselves away from the patio to explore the ocean just steps away. Would love the opportunity to come back, Scott and his family are lovely!

Small & sweet. Loved our stay here. The neighbor hood was quiet and you could walk the very long street every morning/eve and pop in to the beaches along the way. We love the north coast rather than the hustle/bustle of Kona town. Scott was a kind, accommodating host and cottage was well equipped.
