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!

Two day stay
Nice small cottage. Beach across the road but it is mainly large lava boulders so you need to drive to get to a sandy beach. I did see people work their way through the lava to snorkel.

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.

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!

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 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.

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!

Relaxing cozy cottage
Thoroughly enjoyed a peaceful, relaxing stay at the Mango Cottage. It is steps away from the ocean for great swimming and snorkeling. Cottage was clean and comfortable, and enjoyed the using the outdoor shower. I especially enjoyed the delicious Kona coffee. Great place for a quiet couple's getaway. Looking forward to staying here on my next visit to the Big Island. Thank you!

Cute little hangout near the shore
Overall nice and did the job for us. The neighborhood is gorgeous. But only the main bedroom has air conditioning, though the listing states "air conditioned." Since the rest of the cottage receives only natural ventilation through the screened clerestory, we had to rely on the ceiling fans. We were fine, especially since the weather was very mild during our early April stay, but others may not be comfortable. We had a problem with baby spiders looking for food in the kitchen. We managed them, and since we were only staying for four nights it wasn't a big deal, but other guests may object. The indoor shower needs an overhaul - it works - barely. The lack of glass in the clerestory meant we could hear the neighbors and the vehicles - sometimes too well. Because the road is a shore access, it's faily busy, and some of the vehicles are LOUD - I thought I was back in Indiana. :-) We met and talked to Scott briefly when we arrived - he's very friendly! We didn't approach him about our issues, because for our short stay, and only using the cottage for sleeping and breakfast, it wasn't worth the fuss, but someone wanting to stay for a longer period and use the cottage more may want to consider these issues. Otherwise, recommended!
